Day 16 - Embroidery-redwork snowflake

Day 16's tiny Christmas Craft is a redwork snowflake.  You can start from the beginning of our
tiny crafts with Day 1, Shrink your favorite books.

I have always loved the look of  redwork embroidery, the simple red lines against a white background.

You can learn more about redwork here, if you are interested.

I just made up a very tiny, simple pattern, to suggest a snowflake, keeping the dimensions within 1".

Very simple, very quick.

I then cut the fabric out, to press into my 1" button maker. If you do not have 

a button maker, you can buy a set to make covered buttons at most craft and fabric stores. 

I used my scalloped scissors to cut a small circle felt base, for the background. I picked a cute ribbon, to glue in between layers with craft glue.

And there we have another sweet, easy, handmade ornament. This could also hang on the wall 

of your dollhouse, (without the ribbon) as a little redwork piece or add a pinback and it becomes a brooch.
