Fancy Paper Snowflakes
When I first saw one of these elaborate snowflakes online, my immediate thought was, “Yeah, sure. Way too hard.”
Then, I looked at the directions more closely and thought, “Well, maybe if I put my glasses on and wait until it’s totally quiet in the house and I can concentrate.” Sadly, this house is never totally quiet, so that was out.
But after looking even closer I found that even if you have little kids running all over the place or you’re surrounded– as I am–by crazy people, the good news is: YOU CAN STILL DO THIS.
I’m serious.
I’ve already told you how I feel about hard stuff–I don’t participate.
So if I can do it–baby, you can do it.
You will need 6 squares of paper–any size…but the same size. You will also need a pair of scissors, some transparent tape and a stapler. THAT’S IT!!
I used a stick to hold this one up so I could take a picture of it. You don’t need a stick. Forget the stick.
Click here for actual EASY step by step instructions and you’ll be making so many snowflakes that you’ll scare yourself. You are going to love this.
Carry on…

I feel a little behind on all the Christmas decorations. Usually we have snowflakes up all over the ceiling… but I’m pretty sure those are in a box in the garage somewhere.
Sooo… perhaps I’ll have to make some of THESE snowflakes for all over the house. Heaven knows I have NOT met my quota of push pins in the walls these fine season. 
Heh heh heh.
Crazy… what’dya mean CRAZY?!?

Careful–these are addicting! You may find yourself making snowflakes out of every piece of paper you get your hands on. I sure did!

I made a few of them for the office and they look great! We have been thinking of trying to make them and using a spray glitter to spruce them up a little.

There is a clear glitter spray at JoAnn Fabrics. I didn’t buy it–but I did see it there. I bet it would work.
