...W.I.P. Wednesday...Snowflakes...

...even though there's no snow in sight...with temperatures hovering in the humid 70s...I'm still working on my snowflakes...

...I covered a box with some black cloth from my stash...

...then drew a little 6 pointed star on a piece of paper...

...and then covered the paper with plastic wrap...

...and pinned it to the covered box...that will keep the starchy snowflake from sticking to the paper...

...then I mixed up the starchy goo...just a tablespoon of cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water...cooked until thick and translucent...

...just dip the soft snowflake into the goo...

...until it is completely saturated...

...squeeze out the excess goo...

...stretch it out on the star template...matching up each of the six points...

...pin it in place and let it dry...

...once it's dry it will be completely stiff...

...and ready to hang on the tree...

...next year...

~Have a lovely day!
