Elsa's icy snowflakes (W.I.P)

So I originally wanted to make these out of resin but I have never worked with resin before and I realized that such a project would not only expensive, but more time consuming than I wanted it to be. Already Elsa's dress has made me spend over 100 hours (I'm sure) on little details whenever I have the time to work on her, so I started to look elsewhere for materials to use that would give me a similar icy effect that I knew resin would give me. 

I found soft acrylic plastic vinyl and of course, hot glue!

The process however, was still time consuming (the hand prop alone took me 5+ hours) but worth it
