Crochet snowflakes are ideal for decorating Christmas trees, windows, and packages, or for framing and unlike nature’s fragile, short-lived crystals, these inexpensive ornaments will be a joy to behold for years to come.
You will need to know the basics of crochet and some simple crochet stitches. Once you’re ready to begin you’ll need to grab some supplies like yarn, an assortment of crochet hooks, and scissors. If you want to stiffen your snowflake after it’s finished, soak it in either a mixture of glue and water or Mod Podge. Then lay it flat and pin it down on a piece of cardboard to dry. This will make your snowflake stiff and it won’t bend when it is hung on the tree or in the window.
