Create your own Christmas ornament in minutes with this delicate "Victorian Snowflake" design. Sparkling crystals are showcased on an antique brass backdrop to add both eye-catching sparkle and vintage charm to your Christmas tree. These ornaments also make delightful Christmas gifts
First, affix rhinestones to one side of an antique brass snowflake filigree link. Carefully apply a small drop of Gem-Tac permanent adhesive to the center of the link. Use a jewel setter to place a SS34 rose flatback in Crystal on the glue. Use this same process to glue five evenly spaced pairs of SS9 rose flatbacks in Crystal around the edge of the center star that is displayed within the link. Next, glue four SS7 rose flatbacks in Crystal onto each of the five outer spokes of the snowflake. For more help with the precise rhinestone placements, refer to the pictures above or place them in a pattern you like. Repeat this process on two more links and allow 20 minutes to dry. Once the links have dried, flip them over and glue rhinestones to the other side following the same pattern and let dry.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
