With the right patterns and display method, some scissors and an open mind, your snowflakes will go way beyond a craft for your kids. Here are some basic instructions for those of you who haven't had your hand at a snowflake since grade school. The choice of paper is up to you, but I typically opt for off-white or tan coffee filters to enhance the "recycled" look.

Snowflakes were gently spritzed with water from a spray bottle
and flattened between some books overnight.
These can be displayed in a shadow box or just hung in a collage style on top of a bright colored wall. The possibilities are endless and the choice is yours!
Snow flakes are always an easy and fun craft for kids no matter what time of year. I have seen the coffee filter and paper versions and they are always beautiful. What I learned from this post was the spray bottle and book part. I can't believe I hadn't thought of that before. I was just so happy with how my snow flake looked I didn't take the extra step to flatten out all the wrinkles.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm going to try this next year with my kids, I think I will try adding adding glitter to some and see how that works.
ReplyDeleteIt's alway fun to do crafts with the kids. I think they will love this one.
"Home is Where the Creative is" has done it again! This project seems really fun and perfect for a night of hot chocolate and movies on a winter's day. I enjoy the second photo's different photos combined into one. It gives a stylistic display of what this paper snowflake looks like. Cool work once again!
