"Hello, I'm Matt Cail. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to make some paper snowflakes. If pens aren't quite up your alley and you rather not do those and you want something a little more sparkle there here are other options out there for you one of the better ones is actually having glitter they sell these actually in some glue sticks or you can also get them in the store. Where basically they will have some glitter where you just stick on. So this is really a neat effect to do basically just take off the cap of your glitter glue and you can start applying it, again the sky's the limit. I seen some people who will do they'll match the edge and it will give like a nice thick brilliant blue glittering edge. I mean sometimes they'll outline the whole flake, other times they do what I'm doing now. Just to say to have some of the edges being outline but not necessarily all of them, you can also do when you add more like spine, details in the center to that it can cover some of the folds. This is really neat this is really a cool effect. You can add the one thing I would say is that some of this glitter glue can take a long time to dry. If you want to be able to hang it up and decorate these snowflakes all in the same afternoon this can take a solid 24 hours to dry so make sure you allow yourself that time."
