cupcake liner snowflakes

This project is for yer kiddos that are a smidge older as attempting to snip, snip, snip away on a smallish cupcake liner can be a wee bit frustrating. Grab some liners and a few pairs of scissors and get to folding!
Fold in half.
Then half again.
Then fold one side in a third of the way.
Next fold the other side in overlapping the first side.
Snip a little here, and a little there, careful not to cut all the way through from one side to the other. Though you can cut the very tip a little and the very top can be cut to shape your snowflake. Have fun!

  4. When I was wee, my mum used coffee filters. They're bigger and easier to go at with safety scissors. Helps a bit for the younger ones with less coordination.
