Snowflake Wreath

I've been wanting to do this for a couple of years now and finally got to it. Wow. What a freakin' mess!! I knew there was a reason I quit working with glitter. But it's done now and I can stop thinking about it. LOL! I have no idea how many snowflakes I used, so there is no point in asking. I've have lots and lots of these Dollar Tree snowflakes in my craft closet for several years and no clue how many I ultimately used. There also were some that lost legs in the process (legs? arms? sticks? what do you call the snowflake branches?). Well, lots of them broke off as I worked. Not really noticeable, but I had a handful when I cleaned up. Also, my front door needs to be repainted so try not to look too closely. (I even photoshopped a couple of really bad spots.) Everything I used is from Dollar Tree, including the wire wreath form. Ok, enough jabber, here's my Dollar Tree snowflake wreath. 

And so the glittery, gluey nightmare begins. My gosh, I could've filled a jar with glitter just from brushing it off the table - only four times before I finished this. LOL!!

We're getting there, four dustpans full of glitter and several hot glue burned fingers later...
Yay, done! What do you think? Is this one a project  you might consider? Super simple, though not without it's headaches, aka. hot glue, glitter, and broken branches, but turned out pretty in the end, I think.
I added the trees and silver stems as it seemed too plain and bare with just the snowflakes. The blue and silver ones helped too, but I do like it better with the little white brush trees. 

Thanks for coming by. I'll have more paper crafting in the coming days. Mid projects at the moment, waiting on a couple of things for each one before I can call them done.
