These DIY Snowflake Ornaments were so simple to make and a bit therapeutic as well!

There is just something about needlework on the couch watching the DVR that = the perfect craft!

I do not know how to do proper needlework, so if I can do this…so can you!

Easy DIY Snowflake Ornament using mini-embroidery hoops!

You will need the following supplies. Mine came from Hobby Lobby. {affiliate links for similar}

  • mini-embroidery hoops
  • fabric of your choice for background. This is a cream burlap with gold threads throughout for sparkle.
  • scissors
  • metallic gold yarn
  • wide-eyed needle
  • mini-snowflake ornament in a rusty metal finish
  • twine
  • pattern for snowflake
  • readers for the hard of seeing 🙂

Easy DIY Snowflake Ornament using mini-embroidery hoops!

Here is what you will do:

  • separate the embroidery hoop into 2 pieces. With the larger of the 2, trace a circle onto the background fabric. Cut it out going slightly to the outside of your drawn circle.
  • Place the cut circle of fabric into your hoop and secure with the hoop screw. 
  • With pencil and a ruler as a guide, draw your lines for your snowflake.
  • Thread the needle with the gold yarn so it is of double thickness.
  • Stitch the lines. No need to be perfect. I prefer the “homespun” look.
  • I didn't draw the little side lines. I just eyeballed them as I stitched using the snowflake picture as a guide.
  • Remove the twine from the mini-ornament
  • attach it to the center of your needlework with the yarn just slightly at the top to secure.
  • Use a piece of twine to create a hanger for the top

This was the guide that I used to draw my snowflake.

Can you see the faint pencil lines?

Double thickness of the yarn and crossing over stitches gave me a chunkier look.

I just stitched the little offshoots of the long lines.

Now add the rustic snowflake ornament.

    These are adorable and a tree filled with them in your foyer is going to be lovely. It’s been a long while since I’ve done any needlework and a project like this would be a good way to get back into it.

    Christy, this is just the cutest thing. And the rustic snowflake definitely takes it over the top!! Sorry, you had so many problems with your host. I left BH to go to SiteGround because their service was so poor. Hope you find the resolution you need.

    Thanks so much for joining in the fun again this year and for sharing your creativity.

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner! Also, check out my stories!

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer.

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
