I have since tried copper wire and the snowflake does look as it should.

I can sort of shape the branches into place, but am thinking that the pressure of a heavy book for awhile might help. Is there something more that will help? Any tips?

This snowflake pattern is perfect, and I can use them as ornaments on a very small tree that I have. Thank you again.Sherylnoreply@blogger.com
