Are you ready for this crafti-ness????

OK...my new favorite project- perfect for all you stay at home mom types looking for fun, cool, and cheap projects...or perfect for the high school teacher during exam review week :-)

1) Gather materials- you need stapler, tape, scissors, and white paper- I used shiny typing paper, but anything will be fine

2) Fold a triangle into the paper like this....

3)Cut off the edge so you have a folded square piece of paper

4) From the folded side cut three sections on both the right and left (from the folded side to the triangle point) Don't let the cut lines touch!..look carefully!

5) Open the paper

6) Grab the smallest interior diamond and fold the edges together like a cannoli- tape them

7) Flip the paper and grab the second smallest pieces and fold them in the opposite direction. Tape

8) Flip again, fold the third section tape.

9) Flip again, fold the last section, tape.

10) Looks cool right???? Make six of these...

11) Take two of the sheets of folded and taped paper and attach at the bottom with a staple and the sides...like this.....

12) Do this three times

13) Attach 2 of the double sets of paper.... at the bottom (which will be the center of the snowflake and the sides.

14) Attach the last set of papers to the center and the side- Viola! 3D snowflakes. Seriously, it takes 15 min for the first one and then you can whip out 4 or 5 in a class period...I mean in 45 minutes :-) I love exam periods...so much crafting time for teachers!!!!!

Let me know if you make any! You can find better directions here....Tomorrow- pictures from Chuck E Cheese, our decorations at home...even though there are very few because WDP likes exploring/ throwing them...and pictures of the festive-ness that is my school classroom- it's awesome!!!!
