To Stiffen
Stir together 1 tsp water with one tsp white glue very well. Dip snowflake into mixture and lay out on flat surface. Use a paper towel and dab off the excess glue mixture then pin snowflake down to a foam board which is covered with a piece of waxed paper. I used a scrap of foam insulation for my drying board. Allow to dry overnight. Attach hanger to one of the points.
