How to make your own
Coffee Filter Snowflakes:
***
*Gather children, scissors, a bunch of (unused) basic white coffee filters, and clear tape.
* Fold take one filter and smooth in out as best you can so it lays flat.
* Fold filter in half, then half again, then half again, until you have about a 1in. "pie slice" left.
* Holding the filter together tightly, make little cuts in the sides and along the edges of the "slice" in whatever way you'd like. (WARNING: Pay attention to not cut off all of any one side. That's how you make Half-flakes.)
* Unfold your new flake and decorate if you like or leave them plain as we did here.
* Tape or hang up around your house to welcome winter snows!
Tips: Fold two or three filters together at once to make multiples of one design.
Small, sharp scissors work best for this craft.
These flakes would go great with a batch of paper hearts for a wintery valentine!
Don't have coffee filters? Use circles of tissue paper!
