Handmade Holiday Let it Snow MORE!

Along with my giant snowflakes, I figured I needed some smaller snowflake cousins to fill in the little spaces here and there. So here are two more simple snowflakes. I used my Silhouette to cut out the snowflakes, however, you could use the pattern from the giant snowflake tuturial and just shrink it down to suit the size you need.

First up is a simple silver jeweled snowflake. I cut the snowflakes from white cardstock and spayed them silver. This is was very easy and much more cost effective than using silver paper. And although the photo doesn’t do it justice, they are really shiny and sparkly. I added little accent jewels in a nice blue as well. For this project I just used the acrylic sticky back jewels since they are thinner weight than the foam core and have a greater chance of now making it to next year.

And of course, I had to do more glittered snowflakes! These are once again cut from white cardstock and glittered with really light pink Martha Stewart glitter. Since these are made from cardstock - I suggest using spray adhesive rather than liquid glue to ensure the paper did not warp and wrinkle. It also make glittering all these snowflakes a  really quick and easy job.
