Paper Bag Snowflakes

Here is the video to the Paper Bag Snowflakes above. 

And below is a the step by step instructions you can follow.

You'll want to use 7 snack bags size paper bags. These are 2 different sizes in the pic above. The bigger the bag the bigger the snowflake will be! Which is fun to have a variety. Try to use bags without any writing on them. You'll notice the writing when you open up the bottom of the bag.

Stack 3 bags on top of each other and fold hotdog style (You'll feel like you're in grade school again) Cut into the fold.

Cut 2 triangles about an inch or so apart  

(Not on the fold side)

Then place 1 bag with the fold up onto the table. Glue a "T" and stack 1 bag on top of it. Repeat this step until all 7 bags are glued and stacked together.

Glue a string to the last bag and make the final "T" with your glue.

(The purpose of the string is to be able to hang it as a decor piece) 

Place both hands into the first and last bag and fan open.

Bringing both hands together so the glue connects the first and last bag to finish the snow flake!

These are the different forms you can cut to make a flower or star shape. 

Hang it up in your home all year!

For the Grey Snowflake we used this spray paint but use whatever color you'd like!

For a different style- Follow all the same steps but instead of cutting triangles, scallop the edge to give a more nordic snowflake look as seen in the bag topper pic below. Remember not to scallop the folded side.

Make these for home decor or bag toppers!
