This Thanksgiving the weather in our area was quite cool, 40's at night. So I thought it would be fun to make some paper snowflakes!
We used construction paper, and made them in different colors.
I'm going to hang them from embroidery floss and then from the ceiling fan light fixtures.
When the fan is on low it will look like they are falling (ok, maybe not but my son thought they were cool anyway).
I found some easy instructions with great pictures at HighHopes.com.
I also found this really fun site where you can create your own virtual snowflakes and then download them!

They look quite effective :O)
What a great idea! We need something fun to fill up this weekend. Snowflakes, it is! Thanks for the idea. :)
What fun! Another thing I've done (works great for little ones) is fold up coffee filters and have them snip the folded edges. You can also dip them in water with a little blue food color added, or add some iridescent glitter! Have fun!
Babs: Thanks, we did our best.
Cindy: Your welcome, it's what I call clean crafting.
Funfelt: Thanks for your ideas!
i miss making those :)
I remember making these as a kid! Glad to see people still make them with their kids :)
Kim: You should make some, it was fun!
Memories: I made them as a child too.
Thanks for visiting today! We're doing the snowflake thing over here too. Have you seen those very intricate ones at Flickr?? Amazing!
