The weather here has been terrible these past few days. One minute it's raining cats and dogs, and the next it's bright and sunny. Not sure whether I should remain indoor or out! We decided to stay indoors yesterday and I raided my hubby's CD-ROM stack. He had lots of CD-ROMS that had not been used for over 10 years. In the end, my little boy and I made snowflakes which we hung just outside the hallway. It's a great addition to our Christmas decorations!

| I think everyone knows how to make paper snowflakes so I won't go into it in detail. I used old magazines to get the different details & colours - no need to buy paper! |

| Old CD-ROMS - thanks hubby!! |
 |
| The CD-ROMS add sparkle and provide a hard backing to the paper snowflakes. Use craft glue or a glue stick to stick the snowflakes on! |

Great idea to use those old CDS to add sparkle to the snowflakes!!
ReplyDeleteWe've had the same weather here - I'm off now to try and mow our lawn while it's sunny - more heavy rain is coming this afternoon - and our garden is rapidly turning into a jungle!!
