What kid doesn't love a snow day? Especially when you live in Texas.Turn your house into a Winter Wonderland with our Super-sized Snowflakes.
Each flake is made from a full-size poster board sheet and painted with glitter. Just watch them sparkle as they dance from the roof.
It's a simple process, but it does take tedious cutting time (so ask your husband to help, as you both watch The Christmas Story).You can find the very simple tutorial on the button below or in the TUTORIALS section to the right:
I hung 5 Super Snowflakes in our house for the holiday season:
But years ago, I used this concept to decorate for a very large party. We hung hundreds of flakes inside a tall building with strings of lights and glittery/shear fabric, all meeting up in the middle of the ceiling (creating a tent-like effect). It was very fun and very festive:
And if have an adorable little friend like this....
(with bum ruffles, of course)
then your snowfall is even better.
(Her ruffles were made from gathered strips of knit, then sewn directly on to a pair of white bloomers. Similar to the directions given in my Sweater Stockings Pattern. And yep! our little girl has Baby Legs).Now, head over to SYTYC for Week 6: Mittens. Many cute and interesting things! I just pray I don't go home this week. Yikes....

I want to thank you so much for inspiring me to learn how to sew. Long ago, when I was about eight-ish, my mother taught me the basics and even got me a Cabbage Patch sewing machine! I sewed things for my Barbies and other dolls. Now I'm years and years older with two REAL babies of my own and I want to sew them special things...you are the type of person that puts the funky into sewing and the cool into crafting. I will be getting lessons soon. Thank YOU, thank you!!
I love these snowflakes. I have an affection for large ornaments, like the kind of decorations you see in commercial settings. These are right up my alley! If I could decorate my house as if it were Neiman Marcus for the holidays I would! Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
I love those snowflakes! What a fun idea. I also love the ruffle pants!
SOOOPER cute! Loving the bum ruffles too. I think my little Chloe needs some of those!
Thanks for posting this! I voted for them in SYTYC and hoped they would win, selfishly, because I wanted a tutorial to find out how they were made. I think I'll try it with Valentine's Day hearts!
I just got my beautiful pink stocking in the mail. Thanks so much it already looks adorable hanging in my little girls room for her very first christmas!!
very clever -- okay, did you run a line of slave labor to cut out all those snow flakes for that big party?!
I will hopefully have time to make these great snow flakes! So simple and fun . Thanks you Dana for such a great stuff! And the ruffle bloomers! they are something!
Your stuff is beautiful!
I love the litte one's outfit!
Fun snowflakes! I love the little model too, she's too sweet.
LOVE the snowflakes! That blue room is just amazing as well. Was it yours?? I had a really hard time deciding between the stamps and the mitten purse...so cute :)
So cool! And those ruffly bloomers rock! (we call them "ruffle butt" around these parts.) I may have to try some of those snow flakes as a post-Christmas treat with the girls...heck, we live in WI and there's the potential for snow almost every month!
Okay, it doesn't get any cuter than those bum ruffles! And yay for being on Apartment Therapy (not that it's surprising :)). The snowflakes are amazing too, they look great on the blue wall. I think I like those snowflakes better than the real thing... no cold, no melting...
Adorable little girl.. Lovely snowflakes!
So finally there is a tutorial I can do! Love the snowflakes!
