It’s going to be about 80 degrees today, so the only snowflakes we’re going to see on Christmas will be the ones hanging from my dining room chandelier. Don’t feel sorry for me – this weather is why I live here!
I used my fabulous Silhouette SD to cut the snowflakes from white cardstock. The snowflake design comes preloaded on the machine, and all I had to do was resize the design so I could cut a few different sizes. On half of the snowflakes, I sprayed adhesive and dipped them into my favorite Martha Stewart fine glitter. I used red ribbon of varying lengths to hang them from my light fixture.
They are so shimmery and delicious (and would probably drop glitter in our food, so it’s a good thing we don’t ever eat in the dining room)!
I showed you how to make my snow drift candle holders last week. I added the leftover “snow” to two glass vases, added three tealights in each, and wrapped a red ribbon around the vase. I embellished the ribbon with more snowflakes and Scotch tape – for when you are truly too lazy to reach for the glue gun!
I added some pine cones and placed it all on a silver and white table runner…that is too short for my table. I decided to just be Zen about that and let it go.
This was so easy to put together, and I won’t feel like it will have to come down as soon as Christmas has come and gone.
Look, ‘Ma! There’s snow in Texas!
Love your snow flakes Lindsay!! Gorgeous!!
So cute! I’ve been trying to find snowflakes to hang from my ceiling (my mom always does that), but I can’t find them anywhere, and I don’t have a machine to cut them out with…but yours are so so so cute!
I am SOOOOO jealous of your Silhouette SD machine. I wish Santa would read this and bring me one. Hints aren’t working.
Love these, maybe in 2011 I will be more crafty…..maybe…
Looks amazing! I live in Central Texas too! Yeah, I am kinda bummed that it is nearly 80 degrees a few days before Christmas, but you right, that’s why we live here! I would never make it in a place that snowed.
I’m in Dallas and can’t believe that I dressed my kids in short sleeves today. Bummer. Of course, this is Texas and it could snow tomorrow 😉
Love the snowflakes. I heart the Silhouette machines. One day, I will own one. It just won’t be this day.
Walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland! 😉 Looks fabulous. I’m going to put my snowflakes out in January, I think. Hoping Santa brings me some Christmas money so I can get a Silhouette too. 🙂
Love how the snowflakes on the chandelier came out!! So festive.
Great idea.

Lovely!
Hmmm…..a Silhouette, huh?
Beautiful. I’m in Texas (just north of Dallas) and the weather was just the opposite last year. It was a white Christmas. Today I was out shopping and people were in shorts and flip-flops. It’s just the craziest thing. I feel like we need to be preparing for spring break or something, just not Christmas. I’m going to check out the tutorial from last week that I missed. The candle holders are gorgeous.
Love the snowflakes….I’d be glad to send you some real ones from snowy Chicago…lol….Marry Christmas !!
Fabolous Christmas feel! I miss the snow!
It looks that a Silhouette is a must to have!
Happy Holidays!
I am absolutely in love with your site…so creative n so amazing…keep it up and Happy Holidays.. 🙂
