Paper Snowflakes (minus the glitter)

There is a new challenge today at Top Tip Tuesday, and the theme to play along with this week is Let it Snow.    I've made a little snowflake decoration to hang on my tree (almost all my tree decorations are white because I like the frosty look of the white ornaments against the green tree).

I made this by die-cutting 6 large snowflakes, folding each one in half and glueing each one to the next one in a circle.  The easiest way was to make 2 sets of 3, and then glue the two halves together.  I used silver embroidery thread and glued that inside before I stuck down the two halves.  

It was really simple to make, but I will let you into a secret:  I did intend to add some glitter, but then promptly forgot before I took the photo and had edited around all those intricate little flakey bits!  

Oh well, hopefully you'll get the idea.  Please just try to imagine it with the glitter, if you wouldn't mind !!!
