Hi CC Members!
I was searching for snowflake patterns on the web and came across this site where you actually cut and cut and cut and make your own snowflake design right on your computer. Its very easy to use and you have an option to download your snowflake or you can just view it as a .jpg and wallaaaaaaa PRINT! It even shows in a dark color so you can easily use it to trace, ice from etc. Happy Holidays!

Ok....that was a PITA! Nice idea, but you can't control the scissors very well.

I just tried it and at first I thought the same thing about the scissors being hard to control. You have to ignore the scissor blades and just look at the dot in the center. Don't worry about which way they're pointed. Maybe that'll help. Look at my Flake. lol.

thanx for sharing that site . . . you have WAY more control over the designs and can really REALLY come up with some good ones . . . you can see other people have done things like "angel snowflakes" . . . very nice site . . . (but some of the designs would be impossible to do with a "real" piece of paper)

. . . this site is also fun . . . and is more like what you would really get with a "real" piece of paper . . . trouble is it is challenging to control the scissors to do what you want . . . it would be especially frustrating for little ones . . . (I would recommend the other site for younger flake makers . . . )
