Here in Cincinnati we have had an unusual warm winter so far this season. I am use to freezing weather and considerable snowfalls by now. However this year I have the windows open and a short sleeve shirt on. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining, we've had some bad winters the past few years so I'm ready for any easy one. Anyway, we're not letting the warm weather slow down our winter festivities.
Snowflakes are a great way to bring the winter feeling inside. I love making things with my son, so some easy snowflake crafts were a great way for him to help and feel like he was a big part of the decorating.
As a kid I loved making paper snowflakes by folding paper over a few times and cutting patterns along the sides. I loved the anticipation as I unfolded it to discover the unique patterns. Super simple, only 2 things needed...... Paper and Scissors.
For the snowflakes my son and I made, we used coffee filers. Hey, they are paper and they are already round, so why not.
Things Needed
coffee filters (but any paper will do)
scissors
All you do is Fold It In Half a few times
Then using the scissors, you cut out pieces along the sides (half-circles and triangles work really well)
After you've made the cuts you want, carefully unfold the coffee filter to reveal your snowflake
So there you have it. A Super Simple Snowflake Craft to help bring the element of winter into your home without anything melting and making a mess. The best part about these fun snowflakes is that you can use them for a ton of things; glue some thread or string to them and hang them from a curtain rod to give any window a winter view, make a mobile out of them to hang in your child's room, or glue them to a brown paper grocery bag to make beautiful wrapping paper.....
