Fort verden | Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen of Texas! Today is: Quotes of the Day: “Concentration is the ability to think about absolutely nothing when it is absolutely necessary.”- Ray Knight Music of the Day: I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day - EPIC a cappella Christmas cover [ft. Eclipse 6] On This Day In History: Make Cut-Out Snowflakes Day We are ready with our art supplies for Make Cut-Out Snowflakes Day on December 27, and we want you to join us! Take out your foil paper, construction paper, glitters, scissors, and design templates (if you have any), and then just cut out basic shapes or intricate patterns into a beautiful snowflake. It’s a great way to creatively spend time with the family after the hustle and bustle of Christmas and keep the children out of mischief. HISTORY OF MAKE CUT-OUT SNOWFLAKES DAY Making snowflakes is a modern tradition, but the method for creating it is based on the old art of origami. The concept of origami is about folding a piece of paper several times to create objects, and it started in Japan around the 17th century. Another variation is called Kirigami, which involves cutting out shapes into the folded paper. Cut-out snowflakes include both methods, requiring the folding of paper and then adding cuts in the desired places for a more detailed effect. Just like no two snowflakes are identical, you can cut as many different patterns as you like on your folded paper. So whether it is detailed or basic, Make Cut-Out Snowflake Day is a timeless tradition that a lot of us have grown up with. It is a fantastic way to channel your creativity and remember what it felt like to work with scissors and art supplies as a kid. Once you and your family have completed your snowflake projects, you can write your name on them or color them in for a unique and personalized touch. Then all you need to do is hang them from the ceiling or on a window, or wherever else you like, as a big family of snowflakes.
