Tips for Hanging Paper Snowflakes

Video Transcript

"Hello, I'm Matt Cail. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to make some paper snowflakes. Now you have put all your snowflakes on your string and there's a problem, it's one big funky white paper mess. You can barely tell they are snowflakes going on here so how do you avoid this, this plumping phenomenon which gravity is the big culture which is responsible for sewing things. How can you basically avoid this phenomenon on your strings of snowflakes; there is a very easy way to get around this is just using some transparent tape. Lay your snowflakes out and make sure there's about equally spaced especially between the bigger ones and the smaller one. Again, you are getting rid of that clumping but of course once you pick things up again these things can get all clumpy again so how are you going to avoid this. You're going to take some tape nice transparent tape and what we are going to do is right here which is basically have a hole on your snowflake and the string. We are going to take our piece of tape and we are going to tape it down right there like so. I've seen some people will actually do this on both sides of the snowflakes some people wait till they actually hang up the string. But I recommend at least putting one piece of tape before you pick it up. This will keep the snowflake in the same position and it will stop it from basically roaming around along the string. Then you will proceed to do this to all the other snowflakes along your piece of string."
