Make snowflakes dance:

 

Honestly I could never imagine  a Christmas without watching Tchaikovsky’s famous ballet, "The Nutcracker", where today’s DIY comes from (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFsh80k2u30&feature=related). This is by  far my favorite Christmas DIY J and just for fun I created a link to watch the full ballet on YouTube; but take your snow flakes from the previous tutorial and make them dance!


Step 1: find your ballerinas by googling ballerinas

Step 2: find three different ballerinas, trace them on to a sheet of copy paper, then cut them out

  Step 3: Next you cut a circle in the middle of the snowflake and slip it on to the ballerina, making it a cute    snowflake fairy!




This cute holiday decoration is easy to make and if you tie a string around her arm you can hang it from ceilings, Christmas tree or house

How to make it snow in Florida:

What you need: PAPER AND SCISSORS

 1. Take a corner of one side and fold it downwards so the paper looks like a triangle cut in half with left over paper on the end

2. Cut off the excess paper
3. You end up with a triangle
 4. Fold a side of the triangle so it lines up with the middle
 5. Fold the unfolded side over the already folded side
 6. Cut off the two overlapping corners to make it a triangle again
7. Triangle!
8. Cut out random shapes and designs
9. You have a unique snowflake!
 10. Make a ton then throw them around
 11. Get a friend to roll around in them as well
