Hex Mosaic Floor Tile: Steal

The closest prefab match to the snowflake pattern is a flower. But you can create the snowflake yourself by cannibalizing a few sheets of plain black hex tiles. Simply pop out the white tile above each flower petal and replace it with a black one secured to the mesh backing with a dot of hot glue.
