The Snowflake Tree is a clean, modern, and delightfully clever Christmas décor project designed for crocheters who love trying something a little different. Each tree features a delicate 6-point crochet snowflake suspended on a simple bamboo stand, creating a minimalist, organic winter accent for your festive table, mantel, or holiday display. Make one for a subtle touch—or arrange several together for a magical mini forest.

At each tip of the snowflake, you’ll create a small loop that holds a hidden toothpick frame. This structural frame keeps the snowflake perfectly crisp without any stiffening, glue, or sprays. The entire project comes apart easily for flat storage, making it reusable year after year.

While the motif can be made with traditional methods, the pattern also includes a bite-sized introduction to my Breakaway Crochet techniques. It’s a great, low-pressure way to learn Breakaway Crochet while making something beautifully seasonal.

You’ll only need simple, easy-to-find materials: small amount of size 20 crochet thread, toothpicks, small hairbands a few bamboo skewers, and basic tools. No stiffener. No glue. Just smart construction and thoughtful design.

Whether you’re a snowflake enthusiast, a lover of clever techniques, or someone looking for unique holiday makes, the Snowflake Tree is a charming and rewarding project to add to your December crafting.
