Nostalgic Christmas™ Ornament Kit - Shimmer Snowflakes

Disappointed

I was working on my first snowflake and it was going fine then one of my spokes broke off so now it’s ruined. I don’t even know if I should waste my time with the rest of them.

Kits were relatively easy as long as you have the correct pliers & cutters, plus an adhesive usable on metal. However, the wire included is very easy to kink & break. I had to buy a spool of wire the same gauge to replace the wire that snapped. Also the tips of the snowflake are almost impossible to bend & the spokes broke off due to poor soldering. I had to reinforce with E-5000 glue & instead of bending the end of the spokes, I added extra beads, cut the spoke & sealed with E-5000 glue. Plus created a hanging loop on one spoke with leftover wire threaded into beads & twisted above the last bead then sealed with glue. So, a bit more involved than what the instructions said & extra cost as well.

Very pretty! Glad I ordered these
