DYI - SNOWFLAKES

I find Fly Fishing Scissors work exceptionally well! Believe it or not, Eagle Claw Lazer brand for cutting braid line are one of the very best I have ever used, and can be had for under $10! When out and about for BLACK FRIDAY ( Ugggg, NO) pop in to your local fishing supply and grab a pair! I think we have 5 or 6 all over the house and shop, these suckers will even cut soft wire!!!

This is the first of the flakes that I made. I need to cut more to get the square shape but not bad for the first 4.

 

Beautiful!

 

Thank you. I will get more aggressive in my cutting. I needed to figure the seams, making sure not to cut it in half. We had fun last night making snowflakes. FYI scissors are easier then using a box cutter.

 

I was going to mention that but couldn't come up with the right words...sad on my part. So, here's a picture, which should be worth 1000 or so.

 

I only know how to make real snow.
30 degrees
water,
compressed air.

 

but yours melts indoors =)

 

True an they don't look like snow flakes either , more like very small hail.
But you can ski on it.

Thanks for bumping this thread and posting new patterns. I now have a weekend project. It is time to start decorating the house.

 

Those are awesome! Now I wonder if I can cut out many of the patterns with a pneumatic sheet metal nibbler.

That's cool. It is a talent .

 

I am going to show this one to the kid. We have a jar of these pieces/parts and can make some of these.

 

I couldn't come up with something like that in 100 years
