I didn’t make snowflakes to go in Christmas cards this year. Instead I was inspired by LaceLovinLibraian Diane to tat Ice Drops. The only draw back is that I had to hand deliver them. I ended up not making as many for Christmas as I would have if they were flat and could be mailed.
These were a lot of fun to make. They also don’t take very long.
Diane inspired a lot of people to make these. I’ve seen them in different colors, too, with beads and sequins. I may eventually tat some in colors other than white, but for Christmas these worked out great.
I am now making a list of UTPs (Unfinished Tatting Projects). The goal is to finish those first before getting in to other projects.
Now to remember where I put all those UTPs.

Ooh, you’ve caught the bug and the results are lovely! Good luck with finishing off your projects.
Beautiful set of ice drops
Great “wintery” Ice Drops!!! 🙂
Wanda, those are great! Do they sell the drops at Hobby Lobby? What are they called. I don’t think I have seen them without the tatting on them.
Thanks, Tim! Yes, I think they sell them at Hobby Lobby but I got these at the Dollar Tree. I found them in the floral department. They are decorative glass marbles, glass gems, that type of thing. They are flat on one side and come in lots of colors. I think JoAnn’s has them, too. Check out Diane’s blog, http://lacelovinlibrarian.blogspot.com/, she’s doing a lot of things with these. Thanks for stopping by.
Found them at Dollar Tree. Thanks.
