In Vancouver we rarely get snow, only on the mountains which is lovely but for me a girl who grew up with snowy Christmas’, well I miss snow. So in lieu of snow outside I made paper snowflakes to hang in my windows and they are just as magical and fun, not to mention cheap and easy to make. If you are looking for a simple instructions to make your own, Martha Stewart has some here.
Last year I just stuck my snowflakes directly onto the windows, but this year for a more whimsical feel I hung them with clear string and you know what, they move with the air in our apartment.
Now I can sit looking out my windows, while I dream of real snow, while the paper snowflakes slowly dance in circles in front of me and maybe if I wish hard enough we will have a white Christmas!
Whimsical Snowflake Supplies 
- White paper – not too thick so you can fold them easily
- Clear String
- A Needle – to string them
- Clear tape – to hang them
- Glue – if you want to layer them like I did
Happy Snowflake Making!
OK those do not look like the snow flakes I made in grade 3 – your idea of easy is like me telling you to choose a wheelchair for a quadriplegic (its hard by the way) LOL
There’s no snow here either…so your snowflakes are the only sure thing!
Snow won’t be necessary for us to have a wonderful Christmas, we’ll be together and there will be turkey for dinner! Can’t wait for Christmas…could it be that I have caught some of your Christmas spirit? xo
Ha! Well you would be surprised at how easy it was to make them. I am crafty though
