I wrote a tutorial a couple years ago on how to make lacy snowflakes: http://allison.gryski.com/2010/12/lacy-paper-snowflake-tutorial-and.html
Oooh, I kinda want to make the macaroni snowflakes myself!
With regards to paper snowflakes, it makes me sad that kids need patterns for cutting them out. What ever happened to just clipping away and seeing what you got when you unfolded? If something fell apart, it's a great cause-and-effect lesson--don't cut so much next time!
Fun stuff! I clicked into the clothespin one and came out with a great bird seed wreath project to try for the birds for Christmas!
I've made those macaroni snowflakes, if you want to turn that into a kids activity, make and paint them yourself, then let them do the glue and glitter thing. Kinds and super glue (trust me, that is the only thing that really works here) don't mix.
How much do I love the clothespins ones?? what a great idea!
Thanks for the links!!
As a purist snowflake collector, I have to say: Snowflakes have 6 points. Mutant ones sometimes have 12 or 18 points, but normally they have six. It has to do with teh geometry of the water molecule. Naturally, you can do what you like with what YOU call a "snowflake", but if it doesn'th ave six points, *I* am not calling it one -- then it's a doily!
