The Snowflake Alteration

We're sharing holiday decor this week over at the 

IMAGINISCE BLOG
www.imaginisceblog.com

 So bittersweet as it will be my last project 

as an Imaginisce Design Team member...but a wonderful 

new team has been selected and I'm excited to see what all 

they come up with over the next year!

 I'm a sucker for honeycomb stuffs...you know the tissue paper type

of pretties that you can find to hang from a ceiling or to display as a centerpiece.

I think that they're so whimsical and fun!

So when I ran across this package of three beautifully sculpted snowflakes

at Wal Mart, I just had to put them into the shopping cart :)

 Next, I selected a couple of patterned papers from Christmas Cheer and 

set out to make two layers of pleated medallions.  For the first layer, I cut

two 3" X 12" strips and then scored and pleated at 1/2" increments.

For the bottom layer I cut two 4" X 12" strips and pleated them in the same way.

After both medallions were assembled end-to-end and allowed to dry,

I began layering and embellishing!

I found that the POGO adhesive was the best for adhering the two medallions 

to each other.  Next, add fun die-cuts, ribbon and paper flowers to bring your 

snowflake to life!  

I have this cute little fella hanging from one of my small pine trees beside

the fireplace.  I look forward to creating a couple of non-Christmas ones so

that I can use them throughout the winter months.
