Winner of 2014 Craftsy Pattern Design Awards - Paper Crafts Category


quilling snowflake grid

Wow, Christmas came early! I had no idea Craftsy held an award for top pattern designs and am delighted my Quilling Snowflakes Grid  won this year.



Using a grid is essential when quilling snowflakes because our eyes can detect when just one arm is a tad off. I used mine to create these snowflakes many years ago (one day I'll update all those credits I made when blogging as Crafting Creatures) and keep meaning to make a pattern one day. Until then I hope you'll make your own unique snowflake with the help of my free grid.

    Hi Cecelia, beautiful snowflakes! Template is fantastic, wish I'd been able to use it last year; I ruined a beautiful Christmas card with my wonky snowflakes - they looked fine till I glued them down! I might try again now. Thank you for sharing this. Karen x

      Oh no, sorry to hear that Karen. Yes, mine have that problem too. So now I kind of poke it a few times before gluing. If I feel it's too wobbly to begin with, I simply add more quilled arms to connect the dainty bits before gluing. It's a new year - give it another go!

    Completely agree - using a grid for snowflakes makes all the difference in the world. How cool that Craftsy recognized that and honored you!

      Absolutely, Ann! Can't imagine making a snowflake without lines to guide me. Craftsy is wonderful for shining a spotlight on me!
