Glittery snowflake
This is my very first bespoke snowflake. I used together a silky rayon thread about the size of quilting cotton and a silver thread. It measures approx 3" across and sparkles lovely in a good light.
I love the snowflake, the crown and the ornament. I just finished another daisy picot snowflake and was wondering how I could make a sparkly one. I'll have to give it a go. It looks very pretty.
If you can get it, try the very fine Kreinik braid, too. I love to use the iridescent & the silver. There's not much thread on one of the spools, but even tiny flakes really 'pop' when made out of the glittery thread.
All this holiday tatting is very inspiring! Your bauble is great, especially for a first go.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.

ReplyDeleteWow! I've got lots of ideas for holiday tatting, but nothing to show for it yet! I really like the ornament!
