Fancy Paper Snowflake


Bronze Tip Medal for All Time! 59 Tips

Fancy Paper Snowflake - closeup of finished snowflakeI've always loved to cut out paper snowflakes and hang them in the window during Christmas. (I've even used them to separate layers of cookies in a cookie tin.) It's so much fun to slowly and carefully unfold the snowflake to see the end result. All you need is printer paper, a pencil, and sharp scissors with a fine point.
