How to make a Snowflake!

Designs by Karin Lidbeck, Christmas Ideas magazine 2010
Photo by Michael Partenio

The materials for making a large snowflake start with 6 paint sticks. For smaller snowflakes you use Popsicle sticks, along with a combination of assorted wood craft sticks, squares and shapes all found at craft stores in bags of multiple sizes and shapes.

Using a sheet of brown paper and a ruler, draw out a template to follow, like the one below.

Lay the sticks down over the template as shown. Doing this allows you to make sure your snowflake pattern is always symmetrical.

Use a permanent glue of your choice for adhering the pieces together. Lay your base first, adding the additional layers to create your final design.

The final step is to spray the snowflake well with a glossy white Krylon spray paint.

  41. Bring the winter wonderland indoors with beautiful paper snowflakes! You'll just need paper, scissors, and a creative spirit.

    Start with a square piece of paper. Fold it diagonally twice to form a small triangle.
    Fold the triangle in half again (optional, for more complex designs).
    Now comes the fun part! Carefully cut out shapes from the folded paper, creating intricate branches and points.
    Unfold and be amazed by your unique snowflake!
    Hang them on windows, string them together, or decorate cards. These wintery creations add a touch of magic to any space. https://www.hitechalbums.com/
