No snow yet, but still, it's pretty! Excuse the rag on the sill. I will forever be the mom who has a laundry basket in the background of a family photo...
Instructions:
2. Iron snowflakes without steam.
3. Wet the window. ***
4. Smooth tissue snowflakes on window.
5. Give each one a shot of hairspray to keep it up.

Thanks for sharing this. I was wanting to make snowflakes but had no idea. My kids will enjoy this.
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful! So cheerful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! We like to make our snowflakes out of coffee filters. It gives them a delicate/translucent effect.
ReplyDeleteLOL about the hairspray removal tips!
So are you praying for snow...or praying it stays away for awhile? ;-)
The snowflakes that you made are lovely! They're very creative, and I bet they look like real snowflakes from a distance. I love the view of your backyard from your window!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I have so much tissue paper laying around here that is in desperate need of being used. We're going to try this. Even if I DO have to get out the iron.
