The snowflakes were made with a jig (that I made myself from a block of wood, a drill, and nails), and then hammered flat with a ballpeen hammer on the concrete patio in the back yard. This inspired me to get a proper jeweler's anvil and small ballpeen hammer. The hammered shapes look super cool, but they're also very delicate. Hopefully practice and/or using the more delicate tools will make them sturdier :)
