Okay, back to my too easy project of the day. My crochet ornaments that remind me of snowflakes, because, you know, they are white, and airy and seem to float in the air. 

And they are so easy……

If you have visited me in Christmases past you actually might have caught a glimpse of these before. I made them a couple of years ago. They were the extras in quite a few posts. They were never the star of the post. They were a bit like the wallflowers, always there to make the belle of the ball look even more beautiful…

I was ready to use them as the prop in yet another photo shoot, when I realized just how good they looked and that I never really shared them with you.

This is what you do:

Buy a crochet runner at the flea market or thrift store. One with a circle pattern. 

Cut the circles out of the runner. 

Dunk the circles in a mixture of half water, half dissolved sugar. 

Let dry; let dry so long until no longer sticky. 

Ready.

 

Told you this was easy….

If you can find really small doilies you can do it with those too, like I did here and here

  1. Oh, that’s a great idea!
    I need to find a crochet runner … NOW! 😉

    Have a great start in the week!
    Love, Midsommarflicka

  2. So very pretty, especially coupled with the brown of the pine cones. I love them!

  3. What a great idea Marianne! I have many crochet doilies stashed away in a box that both mine and my husband’s grandmother’s made – this would definitely bring them back to life again. Thanks for the inspiration!

  4. The PERFECT upcycle, Marianne! I so adore these! And I thought you had to have some special solution to make the doilies stiff! Goodness… I could do this right now! Awesome!

  5. Great idea, and easy to do! It looks really nice with the dark foliage.
    Blessings, Diane

  6. These are so sweet and lovely–making some today!

  7. Your eye for elegance is unmatched. I bought doilies off etsy to glue to a lampshade for a winter theme look and now the forecast is for snow on Saturday!! It has not snowed since the ’90s where I live!!! They say just little flurries but still it might snow!!!
    I won’t use all that came in my purchased array of sizes of doilies so dare I sugar them?!! Do they melt?? Get sticky?? If they do I’d just start over!!! I think they look marvelous and once again, I’m inspired!!!
    And yes, hang some in your window again. That is my favorite look. I may even copy that one too <3
