Crafty: Paper Snowflakes

Posted by Karen Murphy

I love paper snowflakes. Making them, I mean. There's something soothing about cutting paper into little bits and creating temporary art. Though I can only remember to make one kind of snowflake, the square kind that doesn't even look like a proper snowflake. But isn't it fun, cutting tiny triangles out of a folded piece of paper? And then picking hundreds of eensy triangles of paper out of the carpet afterward?

Say, you want to know an easy way to make a not-very-hard but very cool variation on the usual 3rd-grade snowflake? Need a step-by-step how-to video? Well you're in luck because I have just the thing:

Like that? Here's another awesome 3-D snowflake...all you need is paper and a stapler!

Am going to make one of these just to say I  could. They look pretty neat. Thanks for the video as I'm a "visual" person.

I have made about a hundred paper snowflakes this year in various sizes and shapes.  They cover our tree and are in all our windows.  I got the directions from a Martha Stewert magazine.  Everyone is different and they are fun to make.
