Snowflake Christmas decoration This snowflake was made in Ukraine, by a Ukrainian artist Maria, using a technique called tatting. Tatting is a form of lace-making that involves creating intricate patterns using a series of knots and loops. It is traditionally done with a small hand-held shuttle, which holds a length of thread, though needle tatting is also common. The technique involves weaving the thread into a series of small double knots, called "stitches," to form rings and chains, which are then combined to create lace-like designs. The craft is known for its delicate and elegant appearance. After tatting the snowflakes, they are often stiffened with starch or a fabric stiffener to maintain their shape when hung on Christmas trees or displayed as ornaments. These handmade tatted snowflakes make elegant, timeless holiday decorations. The snowflake is light and easy to mail, and makes a perfect gift for Christmas, Birthday or any other special occasion for a one-of-a-kind person in your life. 9cm/3.5in diameter at widest point.
