How To Make Crochet Snowflakes Stiff
Once you make your crocheted snowflakes, and they are finished, you will want them to keep their shape and stay flat.
First, you will want to block your snowflakes, which usually includes a blocking board and pins.
Secondly, you will want to make them keep their shape always. Below you will find a few techniques that may help with this step.
- Sugar-water solution: Boil part sugar, part water equally. Once it cools, dip your crocheted snowflake into it. Do not twist the snowflake, only squeeze gently. Lay flat to dry.
- Liquid Starch: This is a great method to make your crochet snowflakes stiff. Apply with a spray bottle (mix with water) or directly to the doily.
3. Glue & Water Mix: Combine equal parts of glue and water. Soak the crocheted snowflake in it and do not twist. Mod Podge thinned down would work great too! This is an irreversible method, so make sure you shape it the way you like before it dries.
