Absolutely wonderful for stockings, towels, placemats and napkins. Don't forget Christmas tree skirts, tablecloths and runners. If you have a mega hoop, I've included designs grouped for doing three designs in one hooping, a great time saver! Once you get started with these little flakes, you won't want to stop! Please note: the finished designs below require a large hoop.
Circle appliques are cut out along the embroidered cutting line, then use as is for craft projects or finish with asic Cover stitch or Snowflake Cover Stitch.
Circle Blank (without designs) 3.87"x3.87" Included are all small designs with a circular cutting line to form applique.	3 Blanks 3 blank circles in one hooping 4.02"x11.86"	Using the blank circle in your software, add text or even a different design of your choice to form the back of your ornament.

To make an ornament or coaster, embroider any of the small size of design with circular cutting line. Cut out the circle along cutting line and you have a circular applique piece ready to make up oranments, coasters or to applique on any project. See the pictures below.

FINISHED APPLIQUE USING BASIC COVER STITCH 4.06"x4.07"		Want to add more pizzazz to your ornament? Use some of that left over trim you've been saving all these years because it was too good to throw away. Glue it around the edge with some Fabri-Tac or other fabric glue to dress up your ornament.
Add a ribbon loop at the top to make a simple ornament with the basic satin cover stitch, as shown here. For a coaster, leave the loop off. You could add a piece of vinyl, sandwiched between the front and back circle, if you wanted to make your coasters leak-proof.

THERE'S STILL MORE! Use the circle applique with the Snowflake Cover Stitch on everything from clothing to blankets. If you REALLY love flakes, then you'll also love the word group included in the set.
Here is a matching outfit made with ready-made, inexpensive sweats using the word group on one shoulder and the Snowflake Cover Stitch using the appliques created with the small designs in the circles.
