Snowflakes for All Seasons: 72 Easy-To-Make Snowflake Patterns

by Cindy Higham

Snowflakes You Can Make is the best snowflake book ever created! Why make boring old, everyday cut-out snowflakes when you can customize them for any special situation? This craft book is perfect for kids of all ages, and will turn anyone into a snowflake pro. There are snowflake patterns for Valentines Day hearts, St. Patrick's Day shamrocks, birds and flowers for spring, the Liberty bell for Independence Day, leaves for fall, spiders and pumpkins for Halloween, pilgrims for Thanksgiving, Christmas trees, bells, and candles for Christmas, plus lots of fun "traditional" snowflakes (snowflakes that look like, well…snowflakes!) and more. Perfect for scrapbooking, Snowflakes You Can Make is a crafter's dream, and no classroom should be without a copy. The book contains 64 full size patterns, instructions for folding, cutting and decorating your snowflakes, and a complete index. After spending years showing people how to make paper snowflakes and copying hundreds of patterns for them, Cindy Higham decided to put her patterns in a book for everyone to enjoy. She lives in Utah with her family.

With a template all these are simple enough, though some are definitely more vague in their image depiction than others. Some of these vague ones are ones I would never thing about making because they just look, not so good.
I like that there are snowflakes for all seasons and that they are broken into categories.
I would say in this day and age the book seems less practical than searching online from where you can often print templates that have paper attached so you can start cutting.

Great concept for kids who love to make snowflakes. The book shows reproducible patterns for seasons through the year. Some are rather complex and would require excellent fine motor skills and a small pair of scissors. It reminded me of scherenschnitte, German paper cutting.

If you're looking for patterns -- look no further!

This is a really cool book. I found it at the library and I'm certain I will be checking it out again and again. A great resource for educators.
