Snowflake

Materials Tools
1" diameter ball of clay White paint
Brushes
Straws or other tools to make holes in clay

See the Clay Chapter for more instructions, hints, tips, and ideas.

Make a ball of clay and flatten to less than 1/4". Using a straw or other tool, cut small holes out of the clay. You can push on the sides of the straw to get different shaped holes. Snowflakes usually have a six-fold symmetry. This means that one part is repeated five other times to make the whole. But then again, they are not all perfect. Allow to thoroughly dry, then paint.
