There is a ground-level window in the new bathroom. And although no one (except maybe the stray neighbor of visiting mother-in-law) ventures back there, I decided it needed a privacy curtain. Hence, how inspirational the idea from one of my favorite design blogs, Poppytalk, who gave me a link to Laura's DIY snowflake curtain at Bugs and Fishes.
Theo and I also watched a great tutorial on how to cut paper snowflakes by Chris. People, it's all the fold not the cutting!
Then we went wild on the copy paper, glued our masterpieces together and viola!
Visiting inlaw diginataries even got into the spirit. (This is my father-in-law's nightmare: tiny pieces of paper on the floor, too miniscule to be swept up easily...and yet, he couldn't help himself, and cut out mighty fine snowflakes himself.)
Later in the day, I bought origami paper which made lovely snowflakes, but they didn't iron flat. Still, we hung them up on our ceiling, right where the Halloween bats had been, and it was sweet: our own bright snowfall, to cheer us through the coming winter days.
