Sliceform Snowflake Happy New Year Card



Time to get crafting with this time-sensitive Twixtmas project - a sliceform snowflake Happy New Year greeting. Make it today, post it a.s.a.p. - and surprise its recipient in the New Year. This flat-pack Snowflake card conveniently fits into a C6 envelope.

If you have never assembled a sliceform, then this card makes for a friendly intro to a nifty papercraft phenomenon - where craft meets mathematics. 

Here is your free Happy New Year greeting:

To assemble:

1 Print and cut sliceform components.

2 Glue like pieces back-to-back, aligning edges. You can use a glue stick or thinly-applied PVA glue.

3 Join the centre slots of the the two base pieces.

4 Insert pieces to either side (slots at bottom of piece). Turn the structure over.

5 Insert the remaining pieces to either side. (You will have to gently clear the way and coax the pieces into place - that's why it's called paper manipulation!) 

6 Flatten the hinges to fold the sliceform flat. Fits into a C6 envie. Gift tag included.  

Have a happy and creative 2019! Have fun learning new craft techniques - this is my first sliceform (been meaning the crack them for ages). :D
