For a cheap winter display at my booth, I made some snowflakes. I seriously had doubts that it would look cheesy, or like a kindergarten class project.
But I liked the effect even though I could not quite do what I wanted unless I moved things already set up, and since the building has very little heat turned on between sales, I wasn’t going to linger any longer than I had to.
I’d like them on both sides of the stained glass window, but just could not reach. While I had the heavy duty, sky high ladder out, I hung fishing line in as many spots as I could stretch out to reach. Now, I can reuse those dangling lines to hang other seasonal decorations throughout the year.
The snowflakes are made from two colors and three sizes of paper bags. I’d give you steps, but there are so many out there already that are easy to follow, it would just be redundant.
Another thing I wish I’d done differently is to make all of the cut outs heart shaped. I thought of that part way through, and really like it. Plus, I saved the cut out hearts, glued them together on more fishing line and made streamers to hang with the snowflakes.
Snowflakes look great!
