How-To: "Snowflake" Pumpkins.
By ChrisjobA paper pumpkin: easy, fun, inexpensive, festive, and.....asymmetrical. Even the steadiest of scissor-wielders can't get those chubby sides quite even. Unless, of course, you borrow a technique from a different holiday.
Turns out, the easy-paper snowflake folding technique can work wonders on jack-o-lanterns, and, presumably, on all sorts of fall flair. Click here to head to MerMag for an easy photo how-to.
Holiday Finale: Snow-Stuffed Christmas Ball
By DIY Maven
Okay...just ONE MORE Christmas-y thing before the big day! I was so inspired by madamsewingstick's knitter's Christmas ball, I decided I had to go for the crocheter's version. Of course, if you don't crochet, you could 'stuff' your ball with a small paper snowflake or even one made out of craft foam, but if choosing foam, I might opt to dust it with some fine crystal glitter to make it look not so foamy. Basically, I did what madam said she did » READ MORE

Snowflake Lights.
By Chrisjob
Nothing sets a festive mood like a fresh lighting scheme. From tiki torches at a summer BBQ to a full-on romantic candlelit dinner on Valentine's day, there's always something incredible about the unique glow at special occasions.

DIYable Snowflake Table?
By DIY Maven
The 18 snowflakes that hold up the glass top of Nendo’s Snow Table are ‘white lacquered, veneer coated MDF’. For someone with a scroll saw and patience, it might be the perfect puzzle for the avid DIYer. Using thin sheets of MDF (a quarter inch?), repeat the snowflakey pattern 18 times; cut three of four dozen slots to fit them all together and you’re good to go.
For those with no patience or scroll saw or both, the designer original is » READ MORE

What was I talking about? Oh yeah ... crystal snowflakes. I saw th » READ MORE
