How to Make a Snowflake Garland


How to Make a Snowflake Garland
This is how I made a snowflake garland to hang in my house. Thanks for reading!








Starting with a square piece of paper, which you can make by folding the paper in a triangle, then cutting off the strip at the bottom. Save the strips! Then fold it in half diagonally.



Fold the triangle in half again. Then start to fold that in thirds.



 Once it is in thirds, fold it up and turn it to the side that looks like this.



Cut the top off at an angle, to make another triangle.



 Now be creative and cut out any shapes you want. Then unfold the triangle to reveal a beautiful snowflake.


Now take the ends you cut off in the beginning, and cut them in fourths. 


 Then tape one of the 4 pieces in a loop, take another strip and loop it through the first one and tape it.



Make the garland as long as you want. Then tie white yarn or string to the snowflake, then hang it on the garland.




     Hang your garland wherever you want, and enjoy the festive addition to your house!

5 Ways to Use Coconut Oil





1. The first way that I have used coconut oil is by using it as a face moisturizer. I will usually either use it before my Cetaphil moisturizer, mix it with my Cetaphil moisturizer, or just use it by its self if you want super soft skin in the morning. I like it because if you have sensitive skin, it won't irritate it because it is all natural.


2. The second way is to use it for cooking instead of vegetable or canola oil. More specifically I like to use it for popcorn, fist of all because I think it tastes better, and Bonus! it's healthier. It is also very useful for just substituting it in your favorite recipes.


3. The third way is to use it for dental health. The most common way is to do oil pulling, which is basically putting the oil in your mouth and swishing it for around 10 minutes to get rid of bacteria. I also like to just put a little on my finger, then rub it on my teeth after brushing at night, then letting it stay on over night to help with bacteria and strength, it can also help whiten over time.


4. The forth way is to use it for hair care. I usually just put a little on the ends of my hair after a shower so my scalp won't look oily and it helps moisturize dry ends and can help prevent split ends.

5. The last way that I like to use coconut oil is as an eye makeup remover. After washing my face, I put some on a tissue or a damp washcloth then rub away my remaining eye makeup. This is great because it won't strip the skin around your eye of moisture like some eye makeup removers can, instead it actually moisturizes the skin as it removes the makeup.
