    I've never seen snowflakes made that way, we used to make them with a single sheet of paper folded and then make the cuts and unfold, similar magic moment. One time my roommate made a bunch and then put iridescent glitter on them and we hung them from the ceiling in our living room/kitchen area and left them up until Valentine's. The glitter made them catch the light and almost glisten like snow does. It was so beautiful I really didn't want to take them down, it's cool how something so simple can transform a space!

    Suggestion: If you use white paperclips and no glue on the last step, the snowflakes could be flattened for easier storage.

    Hi Laura I just love watching your everyday life. Thanks for letting us be part of your world. Just an FYI, if you dip your hydrangeas in alum after you cut them they will last longer.

    So fun! We made some too but we used a rolling fabric cutter instead of scissors and it was so much easier and faster!

    I love everything about this video! That display is just *chef's kiss*! (And if it's a little bit off kilter, nobody can see it, I promise! 🤗) You inspire with every video, thanks for sharing your world with us.

    Your window dressing projects with their tight parameters are a great exercise in creative ingenuity. Whenever I find myself in a creative rut, I severely limit the supplies I am allowed to use, and like you, only allow myself to use what I have on hand, and the creative juices (I hate that term, juices, ew...) begin to flow once more. Please take us down to the garden center once it's all decorated. It would be a real treat to see the fruit of your combined effort. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go find myself some bœuf. ~ Lisa

    Wondering Laura did this take you back to your childhood days making crafts with mom? You’re so blessed with a wonderful mom! Truly what a mother & daughter relationship would hope to be! I have two boys and we always did crafts; now 25 and 28 not anymore but I remember those days fondly!

    Have you ever made garlic bread using butter with a garlic clove smashed into the butter? I like the garlic powder but the garlic clove from the garden takes it to a whole new level! Dinner looked yummy!

    • @alcg3981
      @alcg3981 Před 2 lety +6

      We use garlic cloves scraped over toasted sourdough-type bread to make Bruschetta. First toast halfway in oven, scrape with garlic, add desired toppings and cheese, re-broil a little. Voilà!

    • @joesie74

    I Love the snowflakes! I wonder if you made 3 or 4 graduated sized and glued them on top of one another, it'd made a darling sort of "Christmas Tree" you could just stand on tabletop or counter. It'd be lovely in white, but I think the brown could be pretty as a tree as well (If it worked, I'm going to try it).
    Always inspiring and wonderful to spend my morning with your lovely family, tea in hand and fire crackle in the background.

    You had a snow day and made snowflakes. We had 89° and I planted around 30 sego palms.

    Fun project. When winter turns to spring you can spray paint them and turn them into flowers. You could even have a display that starts as snowflakes, hang a few rain drops then some spray painted flowers! The Evolution of the Garden! It is super sweet that you shared the end of the day family dinner. Are you growing any lettuce in the greenhouse or raised beds under cover?

  • @beccaflecca
    @beccaflecca Před 2 lety +55

    I love making snowflakes. I haven't done in a long time though. The snowflake without the points looks like a flower. I think you could take yellow bags and make a sun The same way you make the snowflakes.
