Now on to the project above. You can click on pictures for larger view. We don't get snow here on the Gulf Coast very often so I usually have to make my own snowflakes if I want to see them. I used a hurricane candle cover and set it onto a glass dessert plate filled with glass pebbles in shades of blue and white and glittered punched snowflakes. Inside the candle cover is a small candle votive.
I wrapped a wide blue satin wire edge ribbon around the hurricane cover using double sided tape and attached a separate bow to the front. The bow was the perfect place to show off a quilled snowflake that is embellished with clear crystals and pearls. Two smaller snowflakes dangle from it.
Along the ribbon I put smaller snowflakes and snowflake flowers made from shimmery pearly strips. The two layer snowflake flowers were made with 6 blue eccentric marquise with white V scrolls between them. Then a smaller 6 marquise white layer added on top. For the other version, I used blue V scrolls between the white layer. Add a pearl or crystal to the center. This would be pretty in any color combination!
If you make a project with these versatile flowers, post a link in the comments section to share! Due to increasing spam in my contact email, please put a specific post reference in the subject line if you have a question or request. If it is general, just reference the most recent post. Sorry to have to ask you to go to that trouble but spammers are getting increasingly clever at the subject lines of their posts and I cannot afford to click on one that may be infected!! If you have sent me an email asking a questions lately, PLEASE resend it again!! Thank you for all your sweet comments.
