Snowflake 2

 I realized after exchanging gifts with my daughter, I had forgotten to make her a handmade gift. So first I crocheted a cup of cocoa on Christmas Eve night, even added cotton ball marshmallows. It turned out larger than expected, so I went to the Quilling box on Christmas morning, since my hubby and I came up with our financially poor Christmas idea of “Gifts of Christmases Past” where we mess with gifts we received in the past and hadn’t touched in a while. His was a PS4 machine, mine was Quilling also known as Paper Filigree. 

I started on Snowflake #2 from the book, The Art of Paper Quilling. All was going nicely at this point, or so I thought. It ended up sticking to the cork work board, I had to chisel it off. I had little pieces of cork all attached to my beautiful Snowflake. Yeah, I screamed “Noooooo!” In agony. It was also a bit flimsy for sure after trying to get it off that cork. I grabbed a paint brush and some Mod Podge, it stiffened nicely. Then I painted over the cork with Liquitex Basic White paint. Added more Mod Podge where needed and tossed some glitter on that sucker to make it sparkle and  called it done!
