We're in the midst of a blizzard here in PA with a 'state of emergency'
in effect. This means - hardly anyone is on the roads. It snowed all
night
and continues to snow as I write this at 6:30 pm. We've been
shoveling and snowblowing throughout day to keep up with it. Snow depth is approaching 30"! But in the quiet of our evening hours -
I took a little time to
work on a project...
I was inspired by co-worker who made the white snowflake below
from recycled computer printer paper.
I decided to use paper bags and make some a bit bigger.
The tutorial I used - found here - uses a glue stick or glue gun for all 'attachments'.
I thought I'd be too clumsy for that and wasn't sure with the paper bag
weight they'd stay 'stuck' - so I used scotch tape and a stapler.
My squares (watch the tutorial and you'll understand) are 5 1/2" square.
Six are needed for each snowflake.
I'm hoping to hang them at varying lengths overhead in my
booth space at Quentin Antique Shoppe.
What a fun day this has been! I'm so thankful it's Saturday and
nobody here needed to go to work.
Hope you're safe and warm where you are too. ~Joyce

Congrats on the beautiful snowflakes...they look great! Wow ...you are really getting the snow by you! I bet it's beautiful, even though I know how much work it is. So far, here in Wisconsin, we haven't had a blizzard yet this year. Glad it's happening mostly on the weekend so people don't have to try to get out and about. Take good care!
I love the snowflakes! I want to make one. That is a lot of snow! Take care.
The snowflakes look great! I'll have to watch the video and see how you did I it. Lots of snow. Our daughter is in DC and I'm grateful that hey didn't have to venture out today at all. Stay safe.
Blessings,
Betsy
