8. Pat the flowers dry with kitchen paper and place the end of a thin paintbrush into the centre of one of the flowers before forming the flower by wrapping it around the shaft of the paintbrush.
9. Open up the flower and leave to dry before repeating with the other three.
10. Use adhesive foam pads to secure the silver snowflakes in place and add an adhesive glitter gem in the centre of each.
11. Die-cut the pretty climber die from silver glitter card and glue beneath the string together with the two green snowflakes as shown.
