Two More Baymax Valentines Designs

byKaren•February 2, 2021

Baymax is so sweet, he makes the perfect character for Valentine’s Day cards. I have cute Baymax with heart and soccer valentines to choose from below.

I couldn’t stop at just one style of Baymax Valentines. The color your own Baymax valentines are super fun but if you are looking for simpler set of Big Hero 6 Valentines, I have two more options for you!

Soccer Valentines Featuring Baymax

Quinn loved the scene in the Big Hero 6 trailer of Baymax trying to pick up a soccer ball, so naturally that had to be one of the valentines I created. I added a cute soccer Valentine phrase, “I get a kick out of you!”

Baymax from big hero 6 kicking a soccer ball on valentines — Your kids will get a kick out of these adorable soccer valentines featuring Baymax.

There are 6 valentines on each sheet of paper. I recommend printing it on white card stock. You can download the printable soccer valentines cards in either a JPG Version or PDF Version.

Go and head and upload the JPG version to photo editing programs like Picmonkey if you want to add your child’s name to each valentine before printing them.

Baymax with Heart Valentines

Adorable Baymax with Heart

This simple Baymax with a heart was my very first design. I love, love, love it! Sometimes simplicity wins everything. It says ‘You’re My Big Hero’. There is 6 copies of this valentine on this set as well.

Download the Baymax with Heart Valentines here, again in a JPG Version or PDF Version.

6 Baymax with heart images on valentines day printables — The simplicity of the Baymax with heart valentines makes it my favorite version!

Don’t miss the color your own Baymax valentines, you can include a couple crayons with the cards for extra fun.

Baymax Easter Eggs

byKaren•February 23, 2015

Who’s ready to bring Baymax home? Big Hero 6 arrives in stores on DVD and Blu-Ray tomorrow. We’ve been ready to own ever since we watched it in theaters last year! In fact, as we left the theater, Quinn asked if we could go buy it right then. 🙂

While we couldn’t go out and buy the movie right away, I did get to work making fun Big Hero 6 snacks and crafts at home. In fact, we just made another one perfect for spring!

I recently found a 6-pack of styrofoam eggs at our local 99 Cents only store and immediately thought of Baymax!!

I tucked the glitter pens away for another day and pulled out a black sharpie.

Drawing Baymax’s eyes is pretty easy, you can even let the kiddos do it. Now we have fun Easter decorations to display!

Disclosure: I received a copy of the DVD for the purposes of this coverage. I am pretty sure everyone knows how much we love Baymax and Big Hero 6.

Elf on the Shelf Baymax Costume

byKaren•December 14, 2014

It’s no secret we love Baymax from Big Hero 6, so I thought it would be fun to have our elf dress up as the big guy! Not not Santa… Baymax!

Baymax Costume for your Elf

The boys were so excited to find Honey Pickle dressed up as Baymax with a soccer ball. Quinn’s favorite part of the Big Hero 6 trailer was when Baymax tried to pick up the soccer ball, he even recreated it for me when I made him a Baymax costume sweatshirt. Elliot said “Mom, Honey Pickle thinks it’s Halloween and dressed in a Baymax costume!” 🙂

If you kiddo would love to find their elf masquerading as Baymax, check out the printables below! My templates are sized for a Christopher Popinkins elf (amazon affiliate link), you might need to adjust the size if you have a different style elf.

Check out the rest of our Elf ideas and Baymax fun! I loved being able to combine both into one project!

Would your kids love these Baymax printables too?

Disney’s Big Hero 6 Baymax Rice Krispie Treats

byKaren•December 3, 2014

These Baymax Rice Krispie Treats couldn’t be easier! In fact with his simple design, I am sure you will see another Big Hero 6 project or two here on Desert Chica soon.

Follow you favorite Rice Krispies treat recipe but place a long sheet of wax paper into the pan before pressing the rice krispie treat mixture in. Once your rice krispie treats are cooled, you can easily lift up the entire batch out of the pan. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles for Baymax. I ended up squishing the circles a bit because his head is really more oval like.

Frost the top of each rice krispie treats with white Royal frosting. You could also use white chocolate but I prefer frosting to white chocolate. Regular frosting could work but wouldn’t harden as well.

I had black candy pieces leftover from the snow man kit I used for our Olaf donut treats. I used the candies for his eyes and then drew a line between them with black gel frosting.

Turn them into Baymax pops by inserting a stick into your Baymax Rice Krispie Treats!

Have you seen Big Hero 6 yet?

Disney’s Big Hero 6 Baymax Cookies

byKaren•November 12, 2014

I hope you had a chance to see the #1 movie in America this weekend. We loved Big Hero 6 and will definitely be seeing it again soon. If you haven’t seen it yet be sure to check out my thoughts on the movie here. Quinn and Elliot already have several Big Hero 6 toys on their Christmas list, I am pretty sure Baymax will be a staple in our house for a long time!

Speaking of Baymax, I decided to surprise the boys with DIY Baymax cookies. They are super easy and can be done in under an hour!

With the holidays fast approaching, I am already finding myself short on time so I went with a super quick cookie option. Ready to bake sugar cookies (even clearance Halloween ones) totally work for this project. Don’t let me hold you back though, if you have a favorite sugar cookie recipe and extra time on your hands, go for it.

I did use royal icing on these cookies (a first for me) but to keep the project quick and easy a jar of white frosting would also work. Let the frosting dry a bit, then apply black decorating gel to create Baymax’s eyes!

Who wouldn’t love these fun Baymax cookies?

Don’t miss my easy Baymax Sweatshirt

Baymax Costume

byKaren•October 22, 2014

Who else is excited about Disney’s new movie, Big Hero 6? Quinn has been counting down the days until we can see it. It’s October and costume season, so I though I would surprise him with a cute Baymax sweatshirt hoodie. Add red pants and you have an easy DIY Baymax costume. 🙂

This costume is actually easier than our DIY Olaf costume because its simply a red sweatshirt (which I think is easier to buy) and a few pieces of felt. No pipe cleaners or special carrot nose required!

Baymax Costume Materials

Red Sweatshirt – it needs a hood but you can go with a pull over or zip up
2 pieces of purple felt – standard size (29¢ at Michaels)
1 piece of red felt – standard size
1 piece of white felt – standard size
1 piece of black felt – standard size
needle & thread or glue if you want to go that way….

I started by having Quinn try the sweatshirt so I could mark where I needed to attach the felt. Then I pulled up a picture of Baymax and matched up the design as best I could. I found a standard piece of felt was the right width for us and then I could simply fold the corners in to create the sides.

Now you could get away with fabric adhesive or hot glue but I opted to just sew the felt. I think it’s more secure AND I still get do-overs if I’m unhappy with the placement… glue is usually more permanent! Sewing is also the way to go if you are only using a red sweatshirt to temporarily make a costume, remove the stitches and you are back to a plain (boring) red sweatshirt. 🙂

The ears are simple red triangles, I actually cut out a square and folded it in half so it would have a little more substance than just a single triangle of felt. Add purple circles at the shoulders, wrists and ears.

The eye mask portion was a little tougher. On my first attempt (so glad I didn’t use glue), I simply sewed the face mask to the top of the hood. It was cute but stuck straight out like a visor (Elliot’s demonstrating it above).

My next attempt worked a lot better. I cut out a new white eye mask with a longer top part. This allowed me to sew the top edge of the mask on the inside of the hood. If you don’t want to freehand the mask, use the mask template I made from a Baymax picture.

The end result is a super cute Baymax sweatshirt that can easily be used as a Baymax costume if you added red sweat pants!

Q insisted on his soccer ball when I took pics of him in his #MeetBaymax sweatshirt, I didn’t understand why until I saw him reenacting the scene from the #BigHero6 trailer! Silly, smart kid!

A video posted by Karen (@karenheffren) on Oct 10, 2014 at 8:18am PDT

Check out this Big Hero 6 Trailer, it shows the silly scene Quinn is reenacting above.

Quinn is actually going as Emmet for our LEGO Movie family costume theme but I know this cute sweatshirt will get a lot of use when our weather finally cools down!

Don’t miss these fun Big Hero 6 Printables. Big Hero 6 opens in theaters on November 7th! #BigHero6 #MeetBaymax

Cheap Costumes to Make at Home

byKaren•October 13, 2020

Making a Halloween costume doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, in fact it could cost nothing at all with a little creativity and borrowing. Check out my list of cheap costumes to make at home and let me know what else I should add to my list!

Free Costumes To Make At Home

Cardboard Box Costumes

Large cardboard boxes make great Halloween costumes. Save your Amazon boxes, ask your neighbors to save their large boxes or stop by stores and ask for free boxes.

Turn a large box into a refrigerator costume. Add a black handle and some food packaging from your recycle bin for authentic detail! Other simple cardboard box costume ideas include a birthday present, a juice box, LEGO brick and robot. As long as you have paint or other basic craft supplies at home, you can make those costumes for free.

I have a whole set of Disney Planes costumes made from cardboard boxes: Dusty Crophopper, El Chupacabra, Dipper and Blade Ranger. I used a lot of duct tape which you might not have on hand but paint could also work making these costumes free or very cheap as well.

Sheet Costumes

An old white sheet can be transformed into a variety of costumes starting with the classic ghost costume or toga costume. Cut the sheet into strips to make a mummy costume.

Primary colored sheets can be used to make ghost costumes from PacMan. Turn a turquoise or green sheet into a toga for a Statue of Liberty costume. Create a torch from tissue paper and a cardboard tube.

Trick or Treat Bag Costume - Easy Last minute costume idea

Pillowcase Costumes

Pillowcases make excellent costume bases for little kids. Just cut a head and arm holes and slip it over their head. You could also cut open the top and add straps with ribbon or duct tape. Then paint it for a wide variety of costume options including Olaf, a ghost, a pumpkin, or crayon. This trick or treat candy bag costume is a very easy last minute Halloween costume idea.

Cheap Costumes To Make At Home

Sweatshirt Hoodie Costumes

Sweatshirt hoodies make a great costume base and you might have one hanging in your closet. Otherwise check out thrift stores for an inexpensive hoodie to make your costume.

I have a quite a few hoodie costume tutorials for you: Fox in Socks Costume, Fortnite Doggo Costume, Olaf Costume, Lorax Costume, Baymax Costume, Hiro Hamada Costume, Puppy Dog Pals Costume, Hank the Octopus, and Charlie Brown. If you Google ‘hoodie costumes’ you can find a lot of other ideas including a dinosaur hoodie, unicorn hoodie and baby shark hoodies.

T-shirt Costumes

A solid color t-shirt is often a great base for a costume as well. Choose your costume based on a t-shirt you already own. Add a few inexpensive or DIY accessories and you have a cool costume. A few costume tutorials you can use are the Beagle Boys costume, Monsters Inc costumes, Batman and Robin costumes, cat burglar costume,

Cheap Costumes For Halloween

Sometimes a cheap Halloween costume is easy to pull together based on a few specific clothing items. Again choosing a costume based on what you already own or can borrow can save you a lot of money. Check out these easy occupation costume ideas below.

Target Employee Costume

A Target employee typically wears a red shirt and khakis. Add a name badge and carry a Target bag and you are done. We made a simple name badge online and printed it on sticker paper.

Jake from State Farm Costume

Jake from State Farm also wears a red shirt and khakis. Add a logo to the shirt and a headset and you are set.

UPS Driver Costume

A dark brown shirt and pants or short, plus a brown hat is what UPS drivers wear. Print the logo on sticker paper for the shirt and hat. Carry around a small stack of empty boxes for authenticity.

Flo from Progressive Costume

A white polo and white pants are the base of a Flo costume. Add some badges or buttons using sticker paper or iron-on vinyl. A blue headband and white apron are bonus accessories for a Flo costume.

Mayhem from Allstate Costume

Wear a suit and tie, add some bandaids and bruises and you can be Mayhem from Allstate. Bonus points if you have a pink headband and pink dumbbell.

Do you have any free or cheap costume ideas I can add to my list?

Baby Yoda Snowflake

byKaren•December 19, 2019

Everyone wants their own little Baby Yoda at home and I can help you with this fun little Baby Yoda craft idea! I have two different Baby Yoda snowflake ideas for you to make. This could be a fun little project for your Star Wars fan to make over winter break or make it this weekend and add it to your Christmas tree.

Baby Yoda Snowflake Ideas

I have a confession to make, I can’t properly use scissors. Seriously, cutting a straight line is difficult for me. I almost feel like a kindergartner when I make craft projects. That’s why my projects tend to be simple and why I feel like if I can make the craft, anyone will be able too. So my first Baby Yoda snowflake idea was a simple design similar to our Baymax snowflake or Fortnite llama snowflake.

Printable Baby Yoda Template

All you need to make this simple snowflake is a printer and scissors. I kept the design extra simple but you can always make a few extra cuts in along the edge for more detail. I found it easier to use a hole punch for Yoda’s eyes and then use a micro tip scissors to clean up the shape. Ready to make your own simple Baby Yoda snowflakes? Just download my template and get started!

Baby Yoda Snowflake with Cricut

I designed a more detailed Baby Yoda snowflake that can be cut using a Cricut machine. Simply upload my Yoda snowflake template into your Cricut Design Space and let your machine do it’s work. Obviously Baby Yoda in his floating carrier is pretty iconic already, but I wanted to add a little more detail to this idea because the Cricut could work it’s cutting magic.

So I add a cute little frog to each snowflake as a fun little detail. If you’ve been watching the Mandalorian on Disney+ then you will know why my Baby Yoda snowflake features a frog!

Check out how you can cut even more intricate Star Wars snowflakes with your Cricut.

If you are new to cutting card stock with your Cricut, I recommend using an older mat or taking an old t-shirt and blotting your Cricut mat. Why, you ask? You want to make your mat less sticky, otherwise you will have a hard time peeling your paper snowflake off the mat. Does anyone want to ask me how I know? 😉

Then you can add a ribbon and hang it on your Christmas tree. Or make a few and string them up like garland or hang them from the ceiling, Baby Yodas everywhere! I’m actually tempted to find a smallish Christmas tree on sale after the holidays this year, so I can have a dedicated Star Wars Christmas tree next year. We’ve purchased quite a few Star Wars ornaments over the years and even have lightsaber Christmas lights we can add to it!

How to upload a file to Cricut Design Space

Unfortunately, when you use your own design in Cricut Design Space, you can’t directly share the project with other people. Instead, you have to share the image file. Then other people can upload the images to their own Design Space software.

New to using a Cricut machine and need help? Check out this video to learn how to upload a custom file to your design space. It’s a fairly simple process, I promise!

How To Upload An Image to Cut Into Cricut Design Space

When creating personal projects, you can upload any image including licensed images into Design Space. This tutorial shows you to upload an image into Cricut Design Space.

Tools

Cricut Machine
Cricut Design Space

Instructions

First find the image you want to cut. You can search images on google but you can only use them for personal use. You can't sell things if you don't own the image or rights to distribute. I usually right click to 'save as' or will take a screen shot of the image if I can't download it.
In Design Space, click the upload button then browse your files to select the image you want to upload. You can also drag and drop the file into the upload space.
You will now see a preview of the upload image. I generally just want cut the outline of the image, so I select simple.
The image will upload into the "select & erase" screen. The blue and white checkered background is the transparent part of the design. You can remove addition part of the image by clicking on it. If you accidentally delete part of the image you want to keep, just click undo.

100 Costumes to DIY This Weekend

byKaren•October 19, 2019

Who’s ready for Halloween? You have less than 2 weeks to pick a costume and make it! Of course there are awesome costumes available to buy as well but you know I am a maker type girl. If you are the DIY type or even semi-DIY costume person this list of over 100 costumes to make this weekend is for you!

This is a huge list of costumes to DIY but I’ve broken it down into different costume categories, so it’s not overwhelming. You can scroll down and click on specific costumes types that interest you.

I’m always pinning cool costume idea on Pinterest – follow my Halloween Costume ideas board!

The Ultimate List of Costumes to Make

DIY Book Character Costumes

My most popular post this year at Halloween time has been DIY book character costumes. Apparently everyone is book nerd ;-), or schools have really gotten strict with costumes that kids can wear. Luckily there are many cool characters you can dress up as from storybooks, the costume possibilities are almost limitless.

Potterwookie and Lord of the Hat – Speaking of cool characters, my boys loved the Creature in my closet series and we ended up making two different costumes from it. Basically it’s a fun series about characters that get mixed up in a boy’s closet and combine into one new creature, like Harry Potter mixed with Chewbacca. Fun!!

Speaking of Harry Potter, check out these costumes: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, and Ginny Weasley. And this isn’t exactly a character costume but its super creative: Golden Snitch Costume.

Dr. Seuss costumes are super classic and I find these ideas are popular in Februrary and March too for book day/Dr. Seuss Birthday celebrations at schools.

Cat in the Hat Costume – My boys have dressed up as Cat in the Hat several times, you can make a hat but it’s easiest to just buy a super cool hat and DIY the rest of the costume. They’ve worn the hat several times.

Easy Lorax Costume – I love costume hoodies, it’s a two for one sort of thing. Both practical in cool weather and fun for dressing up.

Fox in Socks Costume – Also another costume hoodie idea, although Elliot did ruin a pair of socks that day.

Mr. Brown Costume – This is a simple costume for those that don’t want to dress up ‘too much.’ It’s also pretty easy to make or buy a Thing 1/2 shirt, combine it with this adorable Thing 1 and Thing 2 DIY Costume Wig.

More book character costumes:

DIY Fortnite Costumes To Make

We were a crazy Fortnite costume family last year, not my favorite costume theme but I do love all the character skin options available. There are literally hundreds of different Fortnite costume possibilities!

Tomatohead Fortnite Costume – Our Fortnite costume adventure started with Elliot’s request to be Tomatohead for Halloween. It was a little more challenging to figure out how to make a large head. In the end, we went with a paper lantern and it worked fairly well.

Dark Voyager Fortnite Costume – Dark Voyager was a fairly popular Fortnite costume last year, we saw quite a few while trick or treating. Of course, it was also one of the only store bought Fortnite costumes available to purchase last year. Naturally the DIY version was much cooler and not really that hard to pull together.

More Fortnite costume ideas:

DIY Disney Costumes To Make

Disney Costumes are always popular, especially if you area headed to Disney’s Halloween Party. This year our costume theme is Duck Tales and we’ve also done Toy Story, Inside Out and Peter Pan family costumes.

Prince Charming – One of my all time favorite costumes that we’ve made. It’s a slightly harder costume to DIY but totally worth it. It’s mostly just a lot of gold embellishments to a white shirt and red pants.

Snow White Prince – There are so many Disney princesses costumes out there, so I felt like I needed to show DIY Disney prince costumes too. Snow White’s prince costume was a fairly simple DIY, it’s all about the tunic and cape.

Beast Shirt or Beast Costume – We have two versions of a Beast costume, one is more of a costume shirt, perfect for disneybounding in the park or anyone that wants a lower key costume idea. The other one is more of a ‘fancy’ Beast costume like the other prince costumes I’ve made.

Olaf Costume – Olaf is another one of my favorite costumes and it’s a hoodie costume too! It’s super easy with a little felt and DIY action.

Puppy Dog Pals – We made a super cute Bingo hoodie but you could easily use the same simple tutorial to make a Rolly hoodie as well.

Jake Neverland Pirate – Another cute Disney Junior costume idea to make is Jake from Jake and the Neverland Pirates!

Mr. Smee – A Mr. Smee costume goes well with the Jake costume above or a classic Peter Pan one as well!

More DIY Disney Costumes:

DIY Pixar Costumes To Make

Forky Costume – This costume is my most popular costume this year, not a surprise with how popular Toy Story 4 was this summer! I wasn’t quite sure how to pull off Forky’s red ‘pipe cleaner’ arms, so I made 4 different versions of this costume. You can choose which Forky costume version you like the best.

Duke Caboom – Forky isn’t the only cool new character in the Toy Story family. Duke Caboom is also a fun and easy costume to DIY! We saw lots of Duke Caboom costumes at Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash this year!

Woody – If you are planning a Toy Story theme, you definitely need to include a Woody costume!

Hank the Octopus – We haven’t make a Nemo or Dory costume yet but this Hank the Octopus hoodie turned out super fun.

Mike and Sully – These costumes are so cute and easy. Just start with the right color shirts and hats and embellish with felt!

Bing Bong – Who’s your friend that likes to play? Bing Bong, Bing Bong! I had so much fun with this costume!

Anger – Rather than painting Quinn’s face red, we opted for a simple mask. Pair the mask with a white shirt and tie and you are just about done with Anger from Inside Out.

Fear – Fear from Inside Out was a very duct tape heavy costume. Good thing I don’t ‘fear’ using duct tape. 😉

More DIY Pixar costumes:

DIY Star Wars Costumes To Make

Ezra Bridger – Star Wars Rebels is such a fun animated show. We had to get pretty creative for the Ezra Bridger costume but it turned out great. Elliot loved having his hair dyed too.

Poe Dameron – The base of this pilot Poe Dameron costume is just a generic Star Wars pilot costumes we found at a thrift store. Then we added and upgraded accessories to make it specific to Poe.

BB-8 – Making a round BB-8 costume was challenging but luckily we found a paper lantern big enough for our youngest son. Add lots of duct tape and you are just about done.

Jyn Erso – Rogue One is one of my favorite Star Wars movies, so a Jyn Erso costume made sense for me. Plus I was able to use several regular items of clothing to make it work.

Wampa – My mom is usually go bit or go home. She lucked out with this crazy white fur coat she found at a thrift store. She even made a ‘bloody arm stump’ using a red solo cup.

More DIY Star Wars Costumes:

More DIY Costumes To Make This Weekend

A few more costumes that didn’t quite fit into any of the categories above but are still super fun to make.

Spider Man Noir – Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse was such a fun movie, and ripe with fun spider-man costume ideas to make. Spider-Man Noir was very simple, with it’s black and grey color scheme.

Inflatable Tube Man – It’s crazy how popular this costume idea is and it all starts with a couple of pop up hampers.

Pencil Baby Onesie – I made this simple baby costume for my nephew a few years ago, his mom is a teacher so I thought it was perfect!

Cat Burglar – This is a punny cat burglar ‘cat’ costume. It’s also super simple to pull together.

LEGO Emmet – One year our family costume theme was LEGO characters, so naturally we had to make a LEGO Emmet costume. It would be super fun to wear to LEGOLAND California’s Brick or Treat event.

What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

What are good Elf on the Shelf names?

When our elf first arrived we didn’t do any research on elf names. I let the boys choose a name and since they were so little, our elf ended up with quite the ridiculous name. It’s over the top ridiculous.

His name is Honey Pickle. One of the boys wanted to name him Honey Nut (as in cheerios) and the other one wanted to name him Pickle. So he was christened Honey Pickle to appease both boys. So what’s a good elf on the shelf name? Anything that makes your kids happy.

Best Elf on the Shelf Name Ideas

There is nothing wrong with the name Honey Pickle, especially if you like ridiculous names. It’s just not the most traditional elf name.

What is the Elf on the Shelf?

Some families that believe in magic acquire a magical visitor during the holiday season in the form of an elf or elf on the shelf. This elf brings extra Christmas magic to the house and also watches to make sure everyone has enough holiday cheer. The elf reports directly back to Santa in the North Pole so it’s essential that everyone is on their best behavior.

Does Elf on the shelf have a name?

Your elf doesn’t arrive with a name, just like a new baby. You get to choose the best name for your family’s elf. Hopefully the list above gave you plenty of ideas and inspiration when it came to naming your elf. You could brainstorm additional ideas and then let everyone vote on the best name for your elf on the shelf visitor.

When does the Elf on the Shelf come?

When your Elf on the Shelf starts bringing cheer can vary by household. Sometimes the elf arrives the day after Thanksgiving. Other elves arrive on December 1st. I’ve even heard of the elf on the shelf showing up for the 12 days before Christmas. The timing isn’t an exact science, it’s more of a holiday guesstimate. Whatever works best for your family is likely when your elf on the shelf will come.

Is Elf on the Shelf really magical?

I think every families definition of magic varies. In our house, the elf definitely brings holiday magic. I don’t know what could be more magical than an elf that shows up for the holidays just to bring extra festive cheer. For our family, just waking up to see what silly thing the elf possibly did overnight is fun.

Can the Elf on the Shelf stay after Christmas?

Our elf never stays after Christmas. Honey Pickle leaves with Santa back to the North Pole on Christmas Eve night. I think most elves go home on Christmas Eve or Christmas night. There could be special situations where your own elf on the shelf might stay after Christmas.

How to make DIY Fortnite Llama Snowflakes

Grab scissors, a hole punch, printer paper, some string and you are ready to get going.

Start by printing out the Fortnite Llama snowflake pattern and then cut out the circle.
Fold along the straight lines, creating an accordion fold with the llama design facing out.
Once you have the paper folded into one wedge, cut out the white space on the design. Adults you may need to do this part for little ones.
Then unfold the snowflake and add an eye to each llama head using the hole punch.
Add a ribbon and hang your snowflake!

If you need a little help with the process, I recommend watching the video above. The folding can get a little tricky if you haven’t ever made snowflakes from a pattern before.
