In one of my favorite scenes, Elf decorates the department store with an elaborate display of paper snowflake chains. This craft project is our own version of Elf's paper snowflake chains.
Supplies:White paper
Scissors
Scotch tape
Christmas ornament hooks
Garland or Ribbon
You can find wonderful templates and instructions for folding your paper snowflakes here at Vintage Junky. The hardest part of this craft is taking the time to fold the paper into the proper triangle shape. Although Josie isn't able to cut through the folded paper on her own yet, but she loves the task of unfolding the snowflake once it's been cut out.
1. Fold paper and cut out a stack of snowflakes. Our garland used 18 snowflakes.
2. Tape a Christmas ornament hook onto the back of each paper snowflake.
3. Suspend garland and attach snowflakes.
4. Stand back and admire.
Happy Crafting and Merry Christmas!

Looks like the girls had fun cutting out the snowflakes :0) Such an inexpensive decor idea too!! But what a punch it packs.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea...The kids and I are on our own this weekend. We may watch that movie once again and make a snowflake garland for their mantels.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!
