Working On Macaroni Snowflakes

My Macaroni Snowflakes

Applying Glitter to Macaroni Snowflakes

Over the weekend I worked on making some macaroni snowflakes. Crafty Stephanie from even*cleveland shared the diy last December on my blog. I didn’t use as much white paint on my snowflakes as Stephanie did. I kinda like the natural macaroni color showing through. The second photos shows me applying some glitter.

    what a clever idea. are you going to hang them on your tree or string them as a garland? you know, if they wouldn’t wilt from the moisture, those would make beautiful coasters as well.

    I’m not actually getting a tree this year because my house is under renovations. They might just turn into gifts.

    Where did you find the big wagon wheels? I live in Marblehead and between crosbys and S&S only can find the tiny wheels and flowers.

    Emmy,

    Hmm I bought them last year. I can’t remember where. The brand is De Cecco. Maybe shubies? Definitely not crosbys. Box is blue and yellow.
