Snowflake Pin/Ornament

This is another one of my super easy because life, a kid, a husband, a house, and a bad back get in the way at the holidays - type of projects!

A cute little snowflake face! You can make it as an ornament or turn it to a pin and wear it proudly.


To make your own, you will need: 

White Cardstock
Snowflakes (I used wooden ones purchased at Hobby Lobby but you could cut them with your Silhouette too!) 
Glue (I used E-6000) 
Bakers Twine or Pin Back (depending on whether or not you are making a pin or an ornament)
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic 
Snowy Face File (I created this file myself in the Silhouette Studio Software and I'm sharing it here. While I sized this to fit the snowflakes I was using, you can re-size it to fit yours.)

How to make your own: 
1. Using the print and cut feature in the Silhouette software, cut out as many faces as you need. 

2. Dab a little glue in the middle of the snowflake and glue on the snowy face. 

3. Once it is dry, put on the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic (MPDM). Start with the center of the face and work your way out squeezing slowly the MPDM bottle. Have a straight pin handy and pop out any air bubbles that arise. Let this dry for at least several hours. If you move it before it dries, the MPDM will run leaving your snowy face looking blurry.

4. Glue on a pin back or add some bakers twine and you're done!



Isn't she adorable?!? These make great ornaments, adorable pins, and would even look so cute embellishing a Christmas gift under the tree and best part - minus drying time, it takes less than 10 minutes!

    These are lovely and so simple! If I didn't just get a bunch of tags, I might even make these up as gift tags and write the name on the back. :)

    Your snowflakes are adorable! I never would of thought to make them into pins, and I didn't know about the Dimensional Mod Podge either (can ya tell that I am still a beginner?!) This is another project I could totally try! Thanks for the inspiration!

    I SO want to try out the MPDM...and this project may have pushed me over the edge to ask for it in my stocking this Christmas. Your ornaments are so cute! And I love that they can double as a festive pin. Great job, Coley! And so glad that you were able to participate this month...even with the craziness of the holiday season.
