These are really, really hard to cut, but the wow factor is way up there.\u00a0 I had hoped we could try this at the MonSFFA meeting Sunday, but after breaking off blades and actually destroying a ceramic slicer, I got really frustrated.<\/p>\n

So, I contacted Mark Burakoff who is way more experienced with paper- cutting.\u00a0 He writes:<\/p>\n

\u00a0Paper engineering report- wow! That was not easy. I tried out two of them- one each of the four and six repeat designs. The four wasn’t too bad, but required quite a few touch up cuts. I gave up trying to cut the six repeat in one pass, especially on tight curves. I think that trying this a Monsffa would result in a lot of shredded paper, some bloodshed, and not a few thrown knives.<\/em> <\/p>\n

But judging from the image at the top of the page, he had more success than I did! (and of all available designs, trust Mark to find the slave Leia!)<\/p>\n

So, this is an activity you’ll have to do at home! Send me pictures, or better yet, bring your snowflakes to the meeting for show and tell.<\/p>\n

You will find video instructions here. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
