After you have “passed” Cutting Snowflakes 101 (see previous Bright Idea #3, Winter Snowflakes), keep cutting out snowflakes and string them
as a mobile! Anywhere you hang it ~ or
them ~ as Mr. R. and I got hooked on it and made several mobiles ~ the
snowflakes are lovely and really add sparkle to the winter days! We like to hang ours in the window, using
those plastic suction hooks. They look
magical!
Use a sparkle winter
white “glitter yarn” that you should be able to find at craft or fabric
stores. Lay your snowflakes (three look
nice!) out on a surface and arrange them in the order you want them. Cut a piece of glitter yarn two times the
height you will be hanging them. I
chose about two times 35” = 70”. Double
the yarn, and from the bottom snowflake, feed the yarn up through each
snowflake, feeding the yarn through two symmetrical (opposite) holes in each
snowflake. Pull the yarn through to the
top, tie a knot at the bottom. Tie on
some shorter stands of glitter yarn, making sort of a tassel.
Hand up and enjoy!
P.S. I used 7” round papers to
cut the snowflakes.
