Chris, I used 26 gauge wire when I created my snowflakes. After watching Sherry's tutorial, I think hers was a bit thinner, making it easier to tie that knot behind the button.

I love the card and the snowflakes. Snow people are my favorite decoration. Could you tell me what you used to create the lovely snowman on the card?
Thank you for sharing you talent with us.

Thanks for grabbing that one, Beate! I'm just catching up from yesterday's road trip.

Cindy I like to use glossy accents because the glitter gets down into the accents and holds it in place once it's dry. I also use glossy and matte accents as my glue, so that's what I always have on hand.

Chris I used Darice craft wire. I also have some by Making Memories and both are thin enough to manipulate and tie off.

Thank you for a great idea, written directions and I love your video. I can't wait to try this technique. I'm going to have my students make snowflakes using your wonderfully easy technique. Thank you, again!
