What about rubber cement?

I think you can use a glue gun and pull the glue off when you remove the snowflakes. Being the glass isn't absorbent, it should come right off.

Use Goo Gone on last year's tape. ;o)

Oh, and fold the paper so there are SIX sides, not eight!

Here is another really cool thing to do. If you have never tried Borax crystal snowflakes, it is a must.

Here is a link.

My DS and I made a lot of these one year. Even tried some heart shapes for Valentines.

One year we made snowflakes from felt and then I starched the heck out of them, let them dry and then hung them up out on the porch to dangle and dance in the breeze. They were very cheery.

Thanks for the links! I'm was thinking of having a cookie decorating party in December, but I think that a snowflake-making party would be kind of fun and soooo much easier.

Nail polish remover should take that old tape off too.
Try the 3M hangers - they remove quite easily.
Have fun!

I use those 3M things for everything around my house, so I agree that would probably work.

Have you tried making snowflakes (same 6 sided fold lenam shows) with flour tortillas? The big ones are easiest to fold. Warm them up a little in the bag first so they are flexible. Then fry flat or butter and brown in a skillet then dust them with powdered sugar (and eat). A fun winter activity with kids.

We glitter our snowflakes with spray adhesive, then use fishing line and hang them in our great room. It's a 14' vaulted ceiling, so there's a lot of unused volume in that room. The kids love watching the snowflakes dance with the ceiling fan on.

I am so glad I clicked on this thread. Thanks for some fun ideas. It is a cold and snowy day here in NE Ohio. I know what the girls and I will be doing this afternoon.

Wow, these are some fun ideas.

In the US we think of hearts for Valentine's day, but they are Christmas decorations in Scandinavia. Woven hearts can be either simple enough for toddlers or complex works of art (check out some of the other designs at the link below) and can be made from colored paper or scrap paper of any type. We like to use old tax forms *grin*.

Glad Jul!

My husband uses milk to adhere labels to bottles of homemade wine. Just plain milk. Brush it on with a paintbrush or dip the snowflakes in a saucer of milk.
