About the pattern: The pattern includes two snowflake designs in two colourways.
The stars and the snowflakes are made separately and then sewn together with invisible sewing thread. The beads are added while joining the pieces.
For no-sew option, use permanent fabric glue to attach snowflakes to stars and hotfix rhinestones instead of beads.
