I've seen a lot of pictures of gorgeous paper snowflakes in interior decoration blogs lately, and I think they can look really stylish.
I like subtle decorations, so these made from white printing paper do the trick for me, but you can obviously use coloured paper too. Good for adding to handmade Christmas cards, or to embellish the Christmas presents.
I googled for instructions and inspiration, and then made these while watching tv in the weekend. It doesn't take long to get the hang of how to cut to get different patterns.
These are two of the websites I used:

http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...er-Snowflakes/
If you google "paper snowflakes image" you can get lots of inspiration for patterns.
Now I'm gonna decorate my alternative Christmas tree- my Olive tree that I took inside when the cold hit...
