It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas #9

Last night i came home to find some festive snowflakes decorating one bedroom doorframe!

Had it snowed inside?

Were we in the midst of a blizzard?

Had Santa come early?

Was Jack Frost visiting?


Nope.

Georgia and Piper had made these out of normal A4 scraps. By tracing a CD to get a circle template, they then cut around it. Fold the circle into quarters and cut random shapes from the folded circle. Unfold and voila! A beautiful snowflake.

Georgia's tips -
1. To get more intricate designs you can fold it smaller than quarters.

2. Vary circle sizes for added effect. Use dinner plates or side plates to trace for guidance.

3. use very thin fishing line or mono poly clear thread to hang your snowflakes. You can barely see the thread and it really looks like they are hanging in space or snowing!
