Our family loves art and I’m so excited to start a new series that brings families together to create meaningful moments and beautiful art.
And our first project is easy and requires only paper and scissors, and tape (or glue)!
This giant snowflake star is quick and so much easier than it looks.
Step 1: Cut six pieces of paper (we used a lightweight card stock) into 21 x21 cm squares.
Step 2: Fold over each square into a triangle and cut 3 lines with your scissors, each about 1. 5 cm wide (1/2 inch), paralllel to the short side of the triangle. The cuts should not meet at the end; there is about a 1/2 inch wide strip going down from the point of the triangle to the long side. (first picture)
Step 3: Open the square and bend the cut-out strips over and tape or glue the tips together. Alternate bending them over to both sides. (Still not sure? Here are some more detailed pictures).
Step 4: Once you have the 6 pieces of your star, place them in a line and tape or staple together.
Step 5: Punch a hole and hang to enjoy:
Love this! Great idea, Kristen!
