Continuing with the 3 part snowflake tutorial, this is #2. Here is the cookie cutter paper snowflake, the twirly snowflake and then a surprise forth snowflake, the twisted paper snowflake. See all three in the picture below. If you make something using this tutorial, please upload pictures of it in our Flickr group to show it off to everyone. You may be featured on Simply Modern Mom.
Measurements and sizes are according to the snowflakes I made for this tutorial. You can adjust to make a snowflake bigger, smaller or fuller.
Supplies:
- cardstock paper
- pipe cleaners/chenille
- paper cutter
- ribbon, string or thread
- needle
- hole punch or other embellishments for the center
- glue
1. Cut cardstock paper into 3/4″ x 6″ strips. Cut 7 strips.
2. Glue the strips into circles.
3. Use the hole punch to punch holes into the circled strips. I used a scrapbook hole punch and hammer for smaller holes. Gently bent the circle in half then punched a hole through both sides so it comes out even. Do only to 6 circles.
4. To do the holes for the center circle, lay the chenille over the circle like the picture below and mark with a pencil where all 6 holes will go.
5. Then repeat step 3, but do it three times ending up with 6 holes.
6. Pull chenille through the holes, aligning the circled strips in place. Trim off excess chenille.
7. Glue the outer circled strips at their touching points.
8. String it with ribbon or strings using a needle.

You should really start a craft shop & charge to be holding classes year ’round for us all….I’d attend.
Come see what I did with my blue cobalt glass candle holder I found at the antique store…

Thanks for posting this! I made these with my 3rd grade students today, and they had a ball. It was at just the right level for them – not too challenging, but not too easy either! Thanks again!
