Paper Snowflake Tutorial and A Quick Tip to Get You Through the Holiday Party Season!

Some bloggy friends asked for a paper snowflake tutorial, so here it is:


Paper Snowflakes, originally uploaded by hopestudios1.

Begin with a square piece of paper. Save the strip of paper that is leftover to make paper chains!

Fold it corner to corner 4 times until you end up with a triangle

Notch the end of the triangle opposite the tip for a star-shaped snowflake.

Cut away as much paper as you can while maintaining enough edges to keep snowflake intact.

Unfold. Iron flat.

Round the end opposite the tip for a round snowflake.

Cut out circles and triangles.

Unfold. Iron flat.

Ta da!



Now for the tip:

Quick! Grab 5 bucks and run to you nearest Dollar Store to purchase some inexpensive holiday themed trays like these:




Now you have something to bring your appetizer on without risk of losing your good platters. Line them with lettuce leaves or cute paper doilies and rest easy.

Better yet, why not run to Target to pick up this cute Tree Shaped Platter



You can tape a sweet note to the bottom and leave it as a hostess gift. She will love you for it, and maybe even pass it on to the next hostess!

Have a great weekend!
