Snowflake Monday

I threatened a couple of weeks ago to make some colorful flakes. Along comes February, and I have the perfect excuse. Pink seemed like just the right color for this flake!

I actually have a name for this flake, in pink or white. I call it "Be Still My Heart."

You may do whatever you'd like with snowflakes you make from this pattern, but you may not sell the pattern. Thanks, and enjoy!

Materials: Size 10 crochet thread, size 4 crochet hook, empty pizza box, wax paper or foil, cellophane tape, glue, water, glitter, small container for glue/water mixture, paintbrush, stick pins that won't be used later for sewing, clear thread or fishing line
