| Jeweled Snowflakes for Scrapbooking |
|
December/January Scrapbooking Technique Challenge |
Do
you remember making paper snowflakes as a child? If you are like me, you could
never quite remember how to fold them correctly to end up with the perfect
six-sided snowflake. For a fun embellishing technique on your winter scrapbook
pages, why not try an "upscale" version of this old theme? Let's create the
snowflakes from vellum, and then embellish them with rhinestones, sequins, and
tiny mirrors.
This activity is perfect for winter days when you are looking for a project to do with the kids. You can make vellum snowflakes for future scrapbook pages, while the children make paper snowflakes to decorate the refrigerator. Don't forget to snap a couple photos of you creating together so that you could even make a scrapbook page about making snowflakes.
Materials Needed for Embellished Snowflakes:
- Vellum cut into 3", 2 1/2", and 2" squares
- Clear and light blue rhinestones, small square mirrors, and loose silver sequins from JewelCraft Beads & Accessories LLC
- Mini GlueDots from GlueDots International LLC
