Christmas Papercraft 4: DIY Snowflake Garland
December 24, 2010
It’s been a few years since I’ve taken scissors to white paper to cut out snowflakes. I love how each snowflake is unique, just like real ones! This year I went an extra step and sewed the paper snowflakes into garlands. I made short garlands, each string with three or four snowflakes. But you could easily sew them into one long garland for a Christmas tree decoration.
I simply sewed each snowflake down an imaginary center line and left about two inches of thread between snowflakes.
I tied a bead to the bottom of each of my garlands so that they would hang down nicely.
I used the finished garland to make a snowflake “valance” in my kitchen window.
