Victorian Blush "Snowflake" Vintage Ornaments and Gift Tags

"These dainty "snowflakes" (which are really flowers), will add a touch of old-fashioned charm to your tree or gifts this holiday season. I'd suggest using a smaller hook for the tags and a larger hook for the ornaments, but really it's up to you. My gift tag came out to be 2 1/4" across with I used #10 thread and a 1.5mm steel hook. You could try using #20 or #30 cotton thread and a smaller steel hook if you want really tiny "snowflakes". Likewise, you could use a 4mm (G) hook and #2 sport weight yarn to make larger "snowflakes"."
