How to Make Beautiful Paper Snowflakes


We have been crafting up a storm at our house these last couple of weeks. I just had to add a quick post about where to find easy directions for making beautiful paper snowflakes. I have always enjoyed making paper snowflakes but the tutorial I found at Maya Made took my snowflakes to the next level. Younger children can make simplified versions of the snowflakes pictured at this site. We used regular white printer paper but you can use newspaper or other paper as well. I placed our snowflakes between the pages of a large book to flatten them before I hung them in the windows.

Beautiful!
I have to show this to my kids, they LOVE to make snowflakes!
You can also iron them briefly, that will smooth them out in a hurry!
Love, Barb
