As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we found a simple pattern to make 3D snowflakes.  We made several, and the girls gave them all away to their teachers.  They’ve been a real hit at the schools, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot of them being made by local school children in the near future.

We decided to make a few more to use as Christmas decorations and hang them in the house for our Gingerbread party tomorrow.

Here’s what they look like:

We also made one by using two different types of wrapping paper an interweving them.  It looks really neat, but the wrapping paper we chose isn’t stiff enough to hang up, so it’s been relegated to being a table decoration.  :)
