For this time of the year I found a ream of paper ideal for making snowflakes. Each snowflake absorbs six (6) sheets of paper- you can imagine the size of the snowflake. Everyone is taken back by these snowflakes- and the project is spreading. An ideal gift to give to nursing homes hospitals schools doctor's offices personal decorations to hang on their windows. A generous gift- yes a bit time consuming- but for such little money. Using a glue stick is ideal; however you tend to go through the sticks quickly. Scotch tape makes the snowflakes heavier.
