This is very clever and quite simple too! That site had lots of other lovely things to make and do too.

I had a go at this yesterday when I was drinking a cup of tea, it is fiddly but fun I made the first prong (if snowflakes have prongs??)
and realised how large it was going to be so downsized it, as I only live in a little cottage. This made it even fiddlier. On the big one you use your fingers to press the paper together to glue! But theres not enough room to do that on the little one so use a pencil, and paperclips are essential! 
They are really lovely and look like you have spent hours making. Cost very little and are fun to make!

I found the middle bit quite difficult, how did you do yours Libby ? |
| Libby |
I stuck 3 points together, then stuck the other 3 points together, let them dry then stuck those 'now' 2 points together. If that makes sense! |

I`m going to restick mine like that, as it isn`t quite right

| Libby |
fun though!!
I thought I might have a go at one of these with some shiny christmas paper, I will let you know how I get on

This is a great waste of time!!

Very clever, might give E the instructions, she better at paper making than me.

The big one is very easy to make. As they get smaller they get fiddlier
