Well it won’t belong before spring starts and the snowdrop is the first to show us when it pops up its head, even when its covered with snow.

Snowdrops have many meanings and symbols associated with them – purity, innocence and sympathy and because they bloom at the end of winter it also symbolises hope.

We have brought to you a bewjewelled snowdrop design set with a complete project supported by step by step instructions and a video demonstration.

We Strongly suggest that you watch the video to get the most out of it.Once you have the design set you can create as many projects as you like using the design set as your inspiration.
