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

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 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!
