All my paper snowflakes were made from folding circles of white paper (cut using an assortment of plates, saucers and cups as templates) and snipping away – you can find lots of tutorials on the internet if you’ve not made them before. They were sewn together in strands like these oak leaf garlands - just use an ordinary sewing needle and thread and sew several stitches per snowflake. Try and vary the sizes of snowflakes you use to get a “random” look – and I’d recommend hanging up each strand before starting the next one so you can see how they look and build up your display gradually:
I tied them onto the curtain rail hooks so I can move them carefully along the rail for different effects – they look very cool all bunched together – but you could secure them to a rail or piece of string, or use pins or blutack to keep them in place in your window. A few strands hung together would also make a fantastic mobile!
