Snowflake
Snowflakes are awesome ornaments for the holiday season, and they are so easy to make that you may end up with a whole house full of them. Because of their unique design, and the unique way you can make them, each one will have a special shape and style. Those who want to get extra crafty can even experiment with cutting letters, animal shapes and other fun stuff into the snowflake. From your holiday tree to your window pane, snowflake ornaments can add a sparkle to everything they adorn.
Instructions
1. Cut 2 squares of the same size, one from the paper and the other from a piece of medium-weight cardboard.
2. Fold the paper square in half diagonally, then in half diagonally again, and once again until you end up with a triangular shape.
3. Snip small sections out of the paper to create the designs on the snowflake. Unfold the paper to check your progress and keep snipping until you have created a design that you like.
4. Lay the unfolded paper on the cardboard and trace the openings you have created by snipping. Use a pen knife to cut out those designs in the cardboard.
5. Decorate the cardboard. Lightly spray paint both sides of the cardboard, using white, gold or silver paint or a combination of anything that catches your eye. While the paint is still damp, sprinkle glitter on the cardboard for a sparkly snowflake.
6. Tie a small piece of thread or red ribbon around the top of the snowflake in a loop so it can be hung from the tree or in another area.
