Snowflake/Bauble Card

Materials: Coloured Card, Glue, Scissors, Pencil, Pen, White Paper, Doilies or Wrapping Paper- Ruler, Circular-shaped stencils/objects

*Note: You could make your own snowflake from folding a piece of white paper in half, then half again, then diagonally from the inside corner to the outer edge, then again diagonally if possible. Cut off the pointed edges of the outside edge part. Then cut detailed shapes (triangles, etc) from the outside folded edges. Open out and you should have a snowflake-like shape

I hope you've found these ideas useful  and easy to make.
