Working on the first point
Fasten off and weave in yarn ends.
Shape the snowflake: wet it, pin it to shape and let dry. If you used cotton or other fibres that can stand heat, you can steam the snowflake using an iron.
4 different options for hardening the snowflake:
- Commercial starch
- Glue-water mix (50% white glue, 50% water)
- Sugar-water mix. Heat 60% sugar and 40% water to near boiling.
- Brush with hobby varnish
