The Twelve Days Of Christmas: Day 6

We've reached the halfway mark! Yes, we have already travelled halfway to our Christmas goal of creating 12 wonderful blog posts. What's next? Well a little DIY snowflake of course! They are awesome and simple to make!

What you need?
- Stapler
- Paper
- Scissors

Lets get started!

Step One: Just get a square piece of paper and fold that bad boy in half


Step Two: Take that triangle and cut with scissors towards the 90 degree angle portion of the triangle. Leaving a space uncut of about 1 to 1.5cm.


Step Three: Unfold back to original square position. As you can see it's important not to cut all the way through or else the snow flake won't stay together.


Step Four: Bring the cut corners together then staple. Flip the page over and staple the corners the other way, rotating back and forth until you've stapled all the pieces together.


Step 5: 1 full snowflake required 6 of these pieces. Rinse and repeat till you have collected 6 of these snowflake pieces.



Step Six: Once you have all 6 made take the centers and staple them together 3 in a row.


Step Seven: Then staple the two half of the snowflakes together and the outside piece as well.


And there you have it! Some budget decorating, I've already placed mine all over my work office and a few at home adding some stick on gems I found at the dollar store here to give them that extra glam feeling!


Yes that a classy remote right beside my snowflake ;) I was watching some TV as I made these little guys. Now you can do so many cool things with these, hang them from the roof. Create a winter wonderland by making smaller and medium sized ones and placing them on a tree (a glue gun might be easier to adhere the smaller ones) or even use them instead of a bow on a Christmas gift! Your opportunities are endless.
