The last of my holiday craft projects worth sharing with you is my snowflake wall. This was a happy accident, having a revised thought on my original idea. My early intent was to buy all of the needlepoint looms I could find in the local thrift stores and then fill them with various swatches of colored fabrics. But as I was looking through the scrap fabric piles at Value Village, I came across an old crocheted doily and made the creative leap on how it looked like a snowflake. Back went the fabric and instead the hunt for all the vintage doilies I could find commenced.

Once home, I matched the doilies with a matching loom size, arranged them, and then double stick taped the outer fringes to the wall. Done!

Cost= $17 in looms, $20 in doilies. Time to construct: 45 minutes.
