Finish: Tape wax paper or plastic wrap to top of empty pizza box. Pin snowflake to box on top of
wax paper or plastic wrap.
A link to the blocking template I use is located here. That website has some of the most helpful
snowflake information I know of. I also have a link to it on my sidebar to the right. I try to keep all
the important links there so everyone will be able to find the information they need.
Mix a few drops of water with a teaspoon of glue in small washable container. Paint snowflake
with glue mixture. Sprinkle lightly with glitter. Wash paintbrush and container thoroughly. Allow
snowflake to dry at least 24 hours. Remove pins. Gently peel snowflake from wax paper or plastic
wrap. Attach 10-inch clear thread to one spoke, weaving in end. Wrap fishing line around tree
branch (or tape to ceiling or any overhead surface) and watch the snowflake twirl freely whenever
you walk by! Snowflake also may be taped to window or tied to doorknob or cabinet handle.
