Snowflakes on the window

There is something magical about simple materials that transform into little works of art under your hands. An empty toilet roll may not seem special, but with a little patience, a hot glue gun, and a touch of winter creativity, you can turn it into the most beautiful paper snowflakes. Perfect for hanging on a branch, placing on the window, or simply giving your home a soft, cozy winter atmosphere.

Make a cup of tea, gather your materials, and let yourself be carried away by the soothing rhythm of cutting, folding, and gluing. Before you know it, your living room will be filled with snowflakes that never melt. Made with love and your own two hands. ❄️

 

You will need:

• empty toilet rolls
• utility knife and cutting mat
• metal ruler
• glue gun
• ribbon or string

1. Flatten the toilet roll slightly with your hand. Use the utility knife and ruler to cut off small loops approximately 5 mm thick. You will need about two toilet rolls per decoration.

 

2. Cut a few loops in half and glue the ends together with the glue gun to make smaller loops. Remove any excess glue to keep the loops clean and neat.

 

3. Now you can start making the snowflakes. Build them up loop by loop and glue everything securely with the hot glue from the glue gun. Alternate between large and small loops, but do this symmetrically. This is quite a time-consuming and precise job, so you will need some patience.

Once you have finished a few snowflakes and the glue is completely dry, you can glue even smaller curls into or between the loops. Be creative and make a number of
different snowflakes. Tie a string or ribbon through one of the loops and hang them together in front of the window.

Have fun crafting!

Love, Daphne
