DIY Winter Craft: Paper Snowflake Bunting

Designing snowflakes is an art, for sure, but don't feel like you have to be a professional to make pretty paper ones. Play around with simple designs at first, then experiment with more complex ones when you see how the snowflakes unfold.

What you'll need:

• 8.5-inch-by-11-inch white paper
• Scissors
• Stapler
• Pencil
• Tape
• White yarn

Instructions:

#1. For a smaller snowflake, cut the white paper in half lengthwise with scissors. For a larger snowflake, just use the entire sheet of paper.

#2. Fold each sheet of paper into an accordion, just like you would if you were making a fan.

#3. Press down firmly on the accordion shape, then staple the center to hold the snowflake together.

#4. Draw a design on the pressed accordion. The design can be as complicated or as simple as you'd like.

#5. Using scissors, cut out the designs.

#6. Separate the accordion, bringing the ends of the paper together to form a circle.

#7. Tape the ends together to secure.

#8. Repeat steps 1-7 to create as many snowflakes as you'd like.

#9. Cut a strand of yarn that's the length you'd like your garland to be.

#10. One at a time, string the snowflakes onto the yarn. You can slip the yarn through any of the holes created by the design.

#11. Hang the garland and admire your pretty snowflakes!
