use white on white fabric and steam a seam.... mount, cut any 'snowflake' (like we did in school) and then iron onto any color background you like...the steam a seam will help with the opacity and then you can just iron on, FMQ around the outside and done.... more cutting than sewing, UNLESS you want to find someone (or a store that rents) in your area with one of those cutting machines...i'm sure they have snowflakes...
