Here are just a few suggestions how to display your growing collection of paper snowflakes:

The sky's the limit for these patterns

• Trace our completed snowflake designs onto your rug canvases to make snowflake latch hook rugs.
• Print these designs on heavy duty-paper and carefully cut out the black sections with X-acto knives to create stencils to decorate virtually any flat surface
• Again, with heavy duty paper they can be used for wood-working patterns to make long-lasting, unique Christmas and winter decorations, coasters, trivets, candle holders (with metal protectors), etc
• Embroidery, tatting and crochet patterns may easily be created from these finished patterns. Software programs are available virtually everywhere which can convert these patterns to needlepoint patterns
• Print these finished flakes on clear decal paper, after using your graphics program to mask out the black sections, and stick on any window glass (house or car)
• Change the background colors and print on magnet "paper." Make removable snowflake magnets with background colors that match your car's paint.
• Make iron-on tee shirt designs
• Print and color PatrioFlakes - Snowflakes For Soldiers on PatrioFlakes for Children web site
• Wrap your Snowflake gifts with free printable snowflake gift wrap (and more)
• Deck the Halls with home cut paper snowflakes

• Each snowflake pattern comes with a paper chain section to decorate the tree or count down to Christmas
• Color and send a snow flake letter to Santa
• Hang a Memorial Snowflake in remembrance of a loved one
• Write a Christmas letter with Snowflake Stationery
• Throw a Snowflake Ball or Snowflake Bazaar on a theme of Snowmen and/or Snowflakes
