61 Indoor Decor Snowflake Patterns + Methods to Stiffen Them Up

Storebought Stiffener

You can purchase Glitter Clear Sealant by Rust-Oleum at a paint or craft store. It has a bit of glitter, but nothing to get excited about. If you look around the shelves, there are other variations with more glitter.

It's a spray can, the most expensive option in my list today, but you can find cheaper alternatives below. I sprayed my Miniature Crochet Christmas Tree and shaped it before letting it dry. It dries and stiffens up. Of course, you will want to spray that outside.

Homemade Hardening Up Crochet Flowers / Snowflakes

I have used two different ways of stiffening snowflakes. Like anything in life, people have their preferred methods. Stiffening solutions can also be found at the craft store. I've had better luck with my homemade solutions than purchasing fabric stiffener at Walmart.

They can be enjoyed for years to come.

Elmer's Glue & Water Method

You can also stiffen using white Elmer's Glue or 100% glue.

Backing Board

If you need to force the shape, as the snowflake won't stay.

1. Get some styrofoam.
2. Lay a sheet of waxed paper over the styrofoam.
3. If you are dipping the project, dip the project and remove excess liquid.
4. Lay on the sheet and use pins to hold down critical areas where the shape needs to be held.
5. Let naturally air dry. Remove pins and enjoy them.

Option 1 - Dip the Project

1. Make a 50% water & 50% glue formula. Just add to each other and mix.
2. Dip the project into the formula. Do not wring out but just squish to remove excess liquid.
3. Lay on waxed paper and shape.

Option 2 - Paint On 100% White Glue

1. If needed for shaping, use a backboard so you can apply pins. Pin down the project.
2. Paint on 100% glue to the project. Let glue soak into the fibres
3. If desired at the end of the paint job, sprinkle glitter.
4. Let natural air dry.
5. Remove pins. Turn over and paint glue again on the backside. Apply sprinkles again.
6. Let natural air dry.

Crochet Delicate Snowflake Pattern

The Crochet Delicated Snowflake is definitely eye-popping. The sizing is magnificent but also the peaks of the flakes with the additional 5 sided flower-like petals are just amazing.

Definitely an intermediate level crocheter and yes, you need to stiffen these snowflakes to enjoy.

Crochet Snowflake Dishcloth Pattern

For the second half of my childhood, I grew up with a dishwasher. So, on my first date at someone's home, as dinner was done, I said, "Where is your dishwasher?"

They laughed and said, "You're looking at 'em!" 

The Crochet Snowflake Dishcloth is a fun representation of the festive season and winter ahead. Some people really like to get into the holiday spirit and decorate with little touches like this dishcloth.

Crochet Lacy Snowflakes - 2 Designs

The Crochet Lacy Snowflake pattern has two designs on one pattern. Speaking truthfully, Snowflake #2 is the easier one of the two. It's an intermediate-level project, which shouldn't scare you too much. After all, there's a tutorial to use.

For hanging to enjoy, be sure to stiffen the snowflakes up. If you prefer not to stiffen, you can use them as a base beneath a plant or vase as well. Snowflakes aren't just for Christmas, you can enjoy them well into the winter season.

Crochet Lacy Snowflake

Of the many snowflakes this year, I like the Crochet lace snowflake the best. The openness of the 6 spokes really appeals to my sense of decoration, highlighting the stitchwork.

The centre spoke-like appearance is also unique and the ring that you can hang it from is also well thought out.

Overall 10 out of 10 for my personal favourite of 2019.

Crochet Lovely Snowflake

The Crochet Lovely Snowflake is more traditional in appearance. Almost like a striking spider web with crystal picot edges at the point as the water is turning to ice.

Hardening up these lovely snowflakes and adding a touch of glitter would make them really sharp-looking. You could enjoy them for years and years.

Crochet Flurry of Snowflakes - 4 Designs

To say these 4 designs are delicate is an understatement. The Flurry of Snowflake Designs is truly something. When completed these ones should be handled like the pinned down version of hardening these up. You will need to be strategic in pinning to showcase the lovely intricate details of these.

Crochet-wise, the easy level is in order and you may have to be creative to look at this strategically because it's easy to see where the stitchwork goes after hardening but while crocheting, it will be soft and delicate. The easy-level classification surprises me a bit, but maybe the finished project looks more complicated than it truly is.

I would guess, more concentration is required for these projects.

Crochet Cactus Snowflake

I like colours and whimsical ideas. This Crochet Colourful Snowflake evokes both of those feelings in me. The colours tell me that this snowflake isn't so serious but can be displayed to give everyday items, like this cactus, a bit of colour.

Not everyone can do a Christmas Tree. In fact, one year, we did a Christmas Tropical Plant. To me, it always feels strange to see hot places with Christmas decorations but what really gets me going is seeing inflatable
