Clipped snowflakes

The other day I was thinking: where could I get some white, slightly transparent paper... Like packing paper... And then, the next day, along the blanket I got a whole box of it :D! Made some paper snow flakes as authentic ones are out of sight. 

I have a memory of clipping these with my grandma. Maybe it was the first time, maybe I was so amazed to see the result as we opened the folded flakes. One had to be careful not to accidentally clip the flake into pieces. I remeber how the paper felt. A light friction on my fingertips.
