UPDATE: So after finishing the project I realized that there were a lot of things I learned and wish I had known/tried earlier but didn't. Please read both Part 1 and Part 2 completely before attempting the project on your own. Enjoy!
Pin Rating: 2 (for original pin - hopefully with my tutorial it will make this project a 4/5 for you.)

So today's blog post is a little different because I didn't expect it would take this long. There is a lot of drying and waiting around involved. This pin was shown to me by a friend and I decided to tackle this pin. The original pin doesn't have any instructions and the link leads to what I believe is a Russian website so I figured this would be a great DIY post to get the step by step instructions out there. I had some help on this one which made it a lot easier and fun to make. But as you can see from the title, this is only Part 1. I waited for the project to dry overnight and I'll be unraveling it and decorating it later today so expect to see the post up by Thursday on the completed project.
Here's what I'm using:
- Giant party hat from The Dollar Tree (Or you can use a styrofoam cone for ~$3.99)
- Tacky glue with brush
- 3 sets of embroidery floss (.40 each @ Hobby Lobby)
- Wax paper
- Scrap booking Snowflakes
*Note: The tacky glue will make your string a shade darker once it dries so keep that in mind when you pick out your colors embroidery floss.
