4. Paint or Stain: (Optional) If desired, paint or stain the snowflakes to enhance their appearance. Allow the paint or stain to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
5. Thread the Snowflakes: Thread the snowflakes together using a piece of thread or string. You can create a variety of arrangements, such as a long chain or a cluster of snowflakes.
