It's never too early to crochet Christmas ornaments. I found a lovely snowflake pattern on youtube by Jonna Martinez, the link to her youtube video is here.
I made the snowflakes with a size 3 white crochet thread and a size D crochet hook. Each snowflake took about 40 minutes to make. The video is very well done and easy to follow.
I made a total of 13 snowflakes. Ten for dear daughter and three for me. Here is a picture of them blocking them with glue to make them stiff.
I mixed 2 parts Mod Podge with 1 part water, stirred it up and I dipped each snowflake in the glue mixture until is was soaked, squeezed all the excess glue/water out then I pinned each snowflake out on an old pillow I bought at Goodwill just for this project. They took about 8 hours to dry.
I've been wanting to make some snowflakes for a while now. I never made any before. I enjoyed making these and I would have made more but my daughter has enough handmade decorations for her tree now.
