Punch a bunch of these simple paper snowflakes, then hang them from your ceiling or fireplace mantel. For a truly frosted-looking flake, use parchment paper or vellum.

Fold the paper lengthwise and cut it in half.

Starting at one short end, fanfold the paper in 1/2-inch folds. Staple the fan in the middle.

Use scissors or pinking shears to trim both ends, then hole-punch a design into the fan?s folds. When you are finished, unfold the fan to create a circle and tape the edges together to secure it.
