How to Display Snowflake Artwork
Here are just a few suggestions how to display your growing collection of paper snowflakes:
You can use paper snowflakes for creating festive indoor winter wonderlands of holiday decorations, stationery and more. Let your imagination go!
Folding and Cutting Patterns:
Press your snowflakes in between books to flatten them out overnight. Coat the snowflakes with paraffin to harden them, then sprinkle with glitter.
- Tape the flattened snowflakes onto clean, dry windows.
- Use paper clips or ornament hangers to hang snowflakes on trees and shrubs. NOTE: if you use string to hang the decorations outside, use strands as short as possible so birds don't get tangled up when they try to use it for their nests
- Laminate snowflakes and use as coasters or laminate a large group together to make a decorative place mat.
- Make long paper chains for colorful doorway curtains or drape across window curtains. (Keep clear of hot light bulbs)
- Frame your favorite snowflakes and give as gifts to loved ones and friends
- Make extra snowflakes for mom or dad to take to work to decorate their office cubicles
- Paste snowflake designs onto 1 side of a folded piece of colored construction paper to make your own, personalized greeting card
- Tape or paste snowflake onto Christmas presents for a personal touch
- Need to rack up a few last minute "good deeds" for Santa on Christmas Eve? Impress Santa by using your best snowflake as a doily upon which to place Santa's cookie dish and milk glass ;-)
- Print snowflakes on clear window decal "paper" and decorate car windows
- Give Fido some Christmas spirit by decorating the dog house with snowflakes
