Winter

I had so much fun making this project because I got the idea from the Oriental Trading Crafts catalogue. They always have cute projects for kids to make and when I saw a tree made out of snowflakes, I just had to make one. It took some trial and error, but to get the beads to stay, you have to use lots of glue. I used a hot glue gun and continued layering the tree until I knew that each bead was stuck.

Cartridge Used: Winter Lace (Snowflakes were cut from 2-6 inches. I added 1/2 inches every time.)

Mini Tutorial
I used chipboard to cut out the snowflakes. (my mom is always able to get the chipboard that comes in business packages from work and gives them to me)
I then cut the snowflakes in glitter paper and glued them onto the chipboard. Once everything adhered, I got some flat beads and hot glued them to the center of each snowflake.
