Altered Wooden Snowflakes






This is my latest project. Altering wooden snowflakes! A friend of mine is so kind to send me two of the wooden snowflakes for me to experiment with it. I've actually not much experience in altering but these wooden snowflakes are so much fun and would love to make something out of it to decorate my Christmas tree this year.
I've attached pattern paper to both snowflakes after I've stamped and doodled on them. For the first red snowflake, there are actually three layers. I've stamped a floral stamp on a card stock and cut it out for the second layer. I've add some doodling on it too. As for the third layer, I've hand drawn a snowflake on a white card stock and cut it out. I've added some blings on it to give some sparkle effect to it. I've used some of my favourite photographs to attached from the back of the second layer.
The second brown snowflakes has three layers too. The second layer is a long legged star where I've cut out from a card stock. The third layer is a fold in four point star where I've stamped, inked and doodled on it. On every layer, I've stamped and doodled some gold on it to add some details to it. The photographs are attached from the back of the third layer.
This two snowflakes are so fun to create and alter. There's nothing more special on my tree than this two snowflakes that truly displayed some personalization and the love of my life. It is kinda a photographs display too on my tree where I can easily show it to all my friends and family!
