With the right supplies, these cards are much easier to make than they look. Soft-touch scissors are designed for crisp, intricate work; origami paper is square and thin, making folding and cutting easy. You will also need glassine envelopes, colored paper, a hole punch, spray adhesive, and string.
Snowflake Card How-To
1. To make a snowflake, fold a piece of origami paper into even quarters, and draw a pattern on it; or print out and use our template. Cut out the shape, and unfold the paper.
2. Place the resulting snowflake in a glassine envelope, either alone or glued to a colored-paper backdrop with spray adhesive.
3. A greeting can be written on the paper, if desired. Punch a hole in one or two corners of the envelope, and attach a loop of string so the card can be displayed on a Christmas tree.

This is one that will take you back to the fun of childhood! I recommend a good Exacto knife for the finer inside details. Have fun!
I can't wait to do this, I use to spend hours cutting out snowflakes when I was little. My mom didn't like it much though when I used here good sewing scissors.
My kids and I like to make these with round white coffee filters. On cold snowy days we'll make a blizzard to tape in the windows or mail to family in warmer southern states.
soo sweet, and family friendly
