Coffee Filter Snowflakes

Every year Aaron and I make these snowflakes out of coffee filters. They are super easy and it's fun to see how different they all turn out.
First, flatten out your coffee filter.
Next, fold it in half.
And fold it again.
And fold it one more time.
Now begin to make cuts along the edges. You can make as many different shapes as you want.
Unfold and your done!
You can hang them anywhere you like. We used a little bit of liquid starch to adhere them to the windows. Just lightly paint the starch over them and wipe off any drips that may occur. Now you have a beautiful snowy window!
