I went walking through Hobby Lobby and saw this snowflake. 40% off, so less than $1.00 Not bad as it was.....
But look at the difference when I simply too scraps of pieces of Friendly Plastic and melted them together, then cut out a star for the center of the snowflake. Look closely. You can see some of Jana's Fracture n Fusion, some marbled pieces, and who know what else. It all came out of my "trash" bin.
And yes, you could hang this in the window, or on your tree....but I think it gets a definite "wow" when I simply layer it on top of paper:
Or how about a star on a star on a star?
And I think you can see that as you start to change backgrounds, you can get an even different look:
I simply used a griddle, laid my junk pieces on top of each other in a mish-mash pattern, let them all melt down together, tapped them to get the lumps out, and then used a cookie cutter to cut out the star.
And since this is not something I'm going to be wearing, I just used a really thick layer of Glossy Accents on top. Now, this is just a great way to use up your scraps.....and even kids can have fun doing this!
