Simple Snowflake Garland


Materials:
*White paper
*Scissors
*Ribbon
*White thread
*All purpose adhesive

Directions:
*To make the snowflakes, take an object with a circular base such as a glass and trace around the base to make circles.  Create as many circles as the number of snowflakes you would like to have on your garland.
*Cut out a circle.  Fold the circle in half, then fold the resulting semicircle in half.  Finally fold the quarter circle in half so that the original circle is now folded into eighths.
*Cut designs into the folded paper to create your snowflake.
*Once you have cut out all of the snowflakes, take a length of ribbon as long as you would like your garland to be and lay it on your work space, with the back side of the ribbon facing up (if the ribbon has a back side). 
*Align snowflakes along the ribbon until you find an arrangement that you find pleasing.
*Cut out pieces of white thread and glue one end of the thread to the snowflake and the other to the ribbon so that the snowflakes will hang down from the ribbon.  If planning on hanging the gralnad over an entryway, cut a length of ribbon the same length as the first and glue the ribbon pieces together so that the garland will look polished from either side of the entryway.
