Snowflake curtain

What you'll need: A4 paper, steel ruler, cutting mat, scissors, scalpel, glue stick, pencil, assorted dollies, hole punch, sticky tape

1) Plan your design, according to the size of your window, and decide how many of each type of decoration you’ll need. Make snowflake and heart decorations according to the instructions, as before.

2) Cut a long length of wool — long enough to hang below your window frame, plus extra for fixing to the top.

3) Thread the wool onto a large needle and start threading your chosen decorations into place — you will need to make small knots to hold them in position.

4) Continue until you reach the bottom of the wool. Repeat until you have enough strings to span the width of your window.

5)
Fix the strings to the top of the frame with sticky tape.
