Tips from the show

• Ripping card by hand creates more natural-looking snow edges than cutting with scissors.
• The sparkly sequin glitter goes a long way, so a little sprinkle creates a big impact.
• You can cut multiple carriages and personalise them with initials for family members to create a special gift.
