Dollygk Report post Posted October 30, 2016 Hi Crocheters, I've made some snowflakes for gifts when I visit my sister during the holidays. Six each for a neighbor, a lovely 90 year old and for my sister. Try as hard as I could the pictures do not show that there is silver glitter on them but I'm sure with the twinkling lights on the tree that they will show. I followed a tip and used equal parts of white glue and water (plus the silver glitter) and after pinning the snowflakes onto the cardboard, I painted each, they dried really stiff and great!! Thanks for looking!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ReniC Report post Posted October 30, 2016 They're beautiful and will be treasured for a very long time! I love snowflakes and was just looking at a few of my patterns thinking about making some more for this year. I like putting them in holiday cards too. They bring a smile when opened. I too like the white glue +water formula for stiffening. The nice things about it is, it does not yellow, stays stiff and if a project gets soiled, it can be washed and re-stiffened. Plus, it does not attract bugs like sugar water or starch. Great job! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Avon Lady Report post Posted November 3, 2016 I love snowflakes, too! I use the same stiffening (half white glue/half water), but instead of silver glitter, I've been using the iridescent white--it's more subtle, but beautiful! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PinkGlitter Report post Posted November 30, 2016 so pretty! thanks for the water/glue tip! I've been looking for a way to stiffen things and the sugar formula creeps me out (scared I'll get ants which I'm allergic to! ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
