Snowflake ornaments - the final post

The final post about my embroidered snowflakes has come, at last!

I wrote about them in three different places (1, 2, 3) and now I can show you how they came out.

 

 

After some reflections I finally decided to sew them as hexagons and stuff them with polyfill fibers. I made soft hexagonal snowflakes :)

 

 

The back of each ornament is made of a fabric whose colors are the same of the embroidery on the front. In this collage you can see all the hexagons, front and back:

 

I added some embroidery thread to hang them to the Xmas tree, of course.

 

The first snowflake was too big, so I haven't worked on it (saved it for future projects). But I realized a little ornament with the smaller snowflake (I like little things, you know it); it's so tiny, it looks like a younger brother:

 

 

I like all of them. It is probably my favourite 2012 craft project!

 

 

Now I decided to abandon my snowflake obession of a while.

But this project filled me with enthusiasm so much that I've started a new similar embroidery project, but it involves stars.

I'm making other ornaments, star-shaped and in only two colors (dark blue and white). Stay tuned! :)
