Name Snowflake Ornament

A LONG time ago, like probably 12 years ago or more, I found a box of acrylic display samples. I mean, it’s a sample box of acrylic sheet for displays, in various sizes, colors, and finishes, and it was $2 so I brought it home figuring SOME day I could find a use for at least some of it. Well, I finally did! A 2" circle, frosted on one side, and a teeny tiny snowflake made out of my grand-niece’s name, plus the date, cut out of white vinyl, plus some twine from a gift from last year, and I got this ornament, which went into the advent calendar.

What a neat gift to find in the advent calendar! I like that the acrylic is frosted, it works really well as a background to the snowflake.

Sooo cool! Did you design the name snowflake? I’d love to try this with my kids’ names but not sure I have the design skills… :thinking:

I did! It’s pretty easy. What software would you be using?

Oh that’s way over my head, lol. I was kind of hoping there was a website somewhere where I could put the names in and it would make it for me! :laughing: Oh well. I’ll just admire your awesome ornament!!

I’m trying to wrap my brain around the fact you say the snowflake has a name in it.

Finally! Initial designs were just too complex. Had to simplify.
