What’s the best paper for making Halloween snowflakes?
We used coloured printer paper and construction paper to make our snowflakes, and both types of paper worked well. You want to use paper that’s thin enough to cut cleanly and easily (24 lb weight or thinner). You can also use wax paper or parchment paper. They’re really easy to cut (although this does make them more delicate) and they add a semi-transparent, spooky vibe to the craft.
Where can I hang my Halloween snowflakes?
You can add tape to the back of these Halloween paper snowflakes and use them as wall decorations for at home, for a school or library, or for a Halloween party. You can even hang the snowflakes as ornaments by tying fishing line around one of the thinner parts. Or you can also use a one hole punch to create a place to connect the cord.
Do I have to use the Halloween snowflake templates?
No, feel free to draw the design with pencil like we did in the tutorial above. You can also experiment and come up with your own Halloween snowflake patterns!
What if I make a mistake when cutting my Halloween snowflake?
It’s not a big deal if your first cuts are a little bit off. You can easily refold and try again to perfect the shape. Practice makes perfect, and if the cuts aren’t completely clean you can trim the excess paper once the snowflake is unfolded. Plus, you can always turn small mistakes into distinctive designs! After all, each snowflake is unique.
