Easy 6 point Snowflake from Linda Germain on Vimeo.
Snow and I have an every changing relationship. For years, I was a ski pro and was out on the slopes every day from November to April.
Now that I am in the city, it is hard crusty stuff that takes up my parking space. However, as I type this teeny, tiny flakes are falling outside my window, and I kinda like them.
What do you think snowflakes as stencils or decoration—–hmmm? Well a friend of mine, Sandra Golbert, taught me how to cut the 6 pointed snowflake, and I made a quick video of the process. I did not know that real snowflakes have 6 points and not 8. Some true flake-lovers get quite annoyed by the 8 point “flake.”
It is easy to cut the 8 point flake because it is easy to fold the paper into quarters. The magic trick to the 6 point snowflake is accurately folding the paper into thirds.
Grab some copy paper and scissors, watch the video and Make it snow!
Thanks for the video on Snowflakes, loved it and as someone who lives in Australia and does not see snow, they are beautiful. I am going to get my little granddaughter to help make some with me for Christmas this year.
Cheers,
Trish.
