Snowflakes from sparking beads

On the tree, the diary or on the windows – snowflakes are simply never enough!The material for making the favorite Christmas decoration we borrowed this time in the nursery.

At first, we thought it was a great idea to throw ourselves into making swallows from sparking beads together with children. In the end, it turned out to be a rather challenging test of patience for adults, but the result is a reward for all the 'suffering'.

eads that can be sparked (we used those from Ikea), paper for ironing (e.g. baking), stencils for beads, or remnants of self-adhesive wallpaper.

How

1 We tried to fold the flakes into a stencils that belong to the beads, but we only had a square one, and it just does not go into it (round blue is the right one!). So we went about it differently: we took a piece of self-adhesive wallpaper, put it face down, pulled down the protective paper, and folded the beads into the shapes of the butters directly on the sticky surface.

2Po then we proceeded classically. We carefully ironed the finished flakes through baking paper – the beads are warmly combined together. You can still spray the ends of the swallows with silver spray, but we are rooting for pure white.

Other types of hair notches can be made according to the attached schemes:
