Crocheted Snowflakes

Here's a bunch of FOs:

I made seven large snowflakes and six small.  I diluted some Elmer's glue with water, and learned that it was best to dunk each one in glue, wash of my hands, then pour on some glitter, turn it over and get the other side, and then pin it out.  Trying to glue, glitter, and pin each snowflake separately was a very messy experience.

I think they turned out well.  Most of them I gave to my school's RoboCon team to decorate their robot.  Their robot was Santa-themed, so very Christmasy and I wanted to add to the holiday cheer.  Also, sparkles!  Who can say no to sparkles?!

It gets lost in my current tree, but I love it anyway.  I have one large and one small snowflake hiding amidst the pink ornaments on my little tabletop tree.
