SUPPLIES:
Metal: I used aluminum flashing from the hardware store. You can also use soda cans which you cut open. Barb Mullikin has a video to show you how.
Big Shot: Snowflake #2 page 220 #113460
Other: Ribbon of choice
Button or other decoration of choice
Tin snips or Craft & Rubber Scissors page 208 #108360
DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut open soda can or cut aluminum flashing to desired size. Be careful not to slice or cut yourself!!!!
2. Make a sandwich to run through your Big Shot: cutting pad, card board and/or card stock shim, Snowflake #2 die, metal, cutting pad. I use the card board that comes with the dies and a piece of card stock for my shim. Each Big Shot is slightly different. You might have to play around a couple of times to get it so all the little parts come right out. After the metal is cut, it is no longer sharp.
3. Decorate as desired. I threaded a button with 1/8″ Taffeta Ribbon going around the snowflake before threading the button’s second hole. I used the same ribbon as a cord to hang from the tree.
I love making these….they are so much fun!
