Jilly Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I posted about the snowflakes we were making last year, and everyone seemed to enjoy it, so I thought I would post it again this year. Here is the link. My daughter has started making her snowflakes for her room. She almost has the ceiling covered, and it looks very festive. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydavis Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks! I only looked at the picture so far - haven't read the instructions. So beautiful! So, I'm worried it will be too difficult for me, since I'm not so crafty. Going to read it after lunch...hope my skills will be enough to pull off making a few with the kids. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks! We made these last year, and they were gorgeous. Looking forward to trying them again. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Thanks, Jilly! I was just going to look for the directions from last year to make these with dd!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilly Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 I hope everyone has fun making them. Hopefully it won't be to hard, although I still haven't figured it out myself. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcjlkplus3 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 We might have to try these - I'm about tired of the cut up piece of paper snowflakes being taped to every wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Ok, I've run into a problem. I have the 6 separate pieces--they came out fine. How do you tape them together in the middle? Do you overlap? Folded or out at the tip? It looks like the sides are taped, then--but I can't get it right! Help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardening momma Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I made one last year, and, uh, it's still hanging in my dining room. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a couple of pictures of last year's snowflake (that's still hanging up--where's that sheepish smiley?). Sorry if the pics are a little fuzzy. I'm not sure exactly how to describe how the middle is taped together...the tips don't quite come together into a perfect point in the middle. I think it might be easiest to tape 2 tips together, side by side, and then do the same 2 more times, until you have 3 sets of 2. Then tape the 3 sets together the best you can.

Do you overlap? Folded or out at the tip? It looks like the sides are taped, then--but I can't get it right! Help! My daughter tapes all the sides together first. Then in the middle she folds the points together and puts a piece of tape around them. It is not a perfect point, but it works and looks great. I hope that helps. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree House Academy Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 We did these last year. They are SO big! We really enjoyed ours. :) Thanks for reposting the link. BTW - Your daughter has an AMAZING voice! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokotg Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I made one last year, and, uh, it's still hanging in my dining room. :tongue_smilie: Ha--us, too! (well, ours is in the living room). We had a whole row of them taped to the ceiling, and all except one eventually fell down. We need to make some friends for that one this year.

I used an ornament hook to hang it from my curtain rod, so unless someone pulls on it, it won't come down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
