Christmas Trending Nowby Create Whimsy

Snowflakes are a timeless Christmas theme. One of the lovely things about this motif is that it is appropriate throughout the winter months. So if Christmas is not your thing, snowflakes are a fun decorating theme. Here are some snowflakes to make — good for those of us who are a little slow at putting our holiday decorations away. Not that I would know anything about that…. But I’ve heard it’s a challenge for some….

There are lots of ways to incorporate snowflakes in your holiday season – cut paper, origami, glitter, icing, crochet, beading and more. So whatever your craft of choice, there is probably a snowflake project that is perfect for you! Here are 10 projects using different techniques and at various skill levels. Let it snow!
