Crafty Christmas: easy paper snowflakes and stars

There's nothing nicer than getting crafty in the run-up to Christmas ... here's some fabulous ideas for creating simple paper snowflakes and stars

Snowflakes ...

For some reason, snowflakes and Christmas are inextricably linked in my mind - 'tho to be fair, I can only remember one Christmas where it snowed on Christmas Day, and that's almost 50 years ago.

Yet my love of Christmas movies means that snow + snowflakes are entwined with the love of gathering with family and friends to celebrate this special season.

My inner child is eager to get out the scissors and make paper snowflakes this year ... and so here are a few of my favourite videos, showing you how easy (and how beautiful) they can be.

I'll share my creations over on CreaTEAvity Studio's Instagram Stories (check "In the Studio" highlights).

So ... all you need is scissors, paper, and perhaps a glue stick and some ribbon or string if you really fancy going wild! Enjoy ... and happy holiday wishes to you xx
