Finishing:

Weave ends of thread into work using the tapestry needle. Then dip the snowflake into the fabric stiffener and gently ring out the excess. Lay the snowflake down flat onto the foam board and pin into place. Allow to dry overnight. If you have a gas oven, you can place the snowflake in the oven and let the pilot dry it out. I do this and it takes half the time.
