Anyway, a friend taught me some "needle" tatting and this is what I did several years ago & gave to people in Christmas cards. The snowflakes are shuttle tatting which is a bit more complicated.
I used to make those - they look very pretty on the tree. I stiffened them with a mixture of Elmer’s and water, pinned them down on wax paper over an old-fashioned cardboard cutting board, and sprinkled fine sparkles on them.
They make up in a flash; easy to do, and you can make many of them while you’re watching TV.
