Paper Snowflakes

Snowflake Windows

I took these photos last year at the Anthropologie store near Union Square in New York. I love paper snowflakes. In college I remember covering the windows of my whole apartment with them. I think I kept them up till I moved out!

    What kind of adhesive would you suggest using? Do you know if anyone sells pre-cut snowflakes like this? Thanks.

    I've used double-sided tape. You might be able to use some type of spray mount. Available at craft stores like Michael's. You might be able to find pre-cut snowflakes there too!

    I would test any glue on your windows first to see if you can wipe it clean.

    Were the snowflakes glued to the window or hanging inside from above? I love that new/old memory look and am fast becoming a fan of Anthropologie.

    Some of the snowflakes were on the windows and some were hung on clear fishing line like a garland.

    You can also sew right through paper snowflakes to create a garland on a delicate thread http://mayamade.blogspot.com/2008/12/newspaper-snowflake-garland-tutorial.html
