Keep the focus on the simple pleasures of the Holiday season with some artful snowflake crafts. What could be more beautiful than simple decorations for a setting that is unassuming, honest, welcoming and warm? And what could be simpler than a snowflake? It's an image that let's us travel to the days of our Christmas youth and all the years in between. Here are a few ideas that I have for you to bring the snowflake into your Holiday decorations by painting them on fabrics and much more! You'll even find some tips on making unique gifts for giving.Snowflakes are always six sided. So, to make paper snowflakes you need to fold the paper for a finished design with 6 symmetrical extensions. First, fold a piece of paper starting with the top right corner making sure that the top edge of the paper and the right side are lined up. Cut away the paper that is not in the folded area. Bring the two points on the folded side together and mark the center. From the unfolded point, measure 3 and 1/8" along either side and make a mark. Draw two lines from the center mark on the fold to each of the marks on the unfolded side and fold along each line. It seems complicated for just a paper snowflake but once you see how it's done you'll find that it's easy to just fold without measuring.
