Aren’t shiny metallic accents one of the most fun things to decorate with during the winter? I think they are the perfect thing to use for making snowflakes. Today I’m going to teach you how to create this die cut Snowflake DIY Table Runner. It is really simple to make, just takes some time. Can you believe that this is made from paper?!
Die Cut Snowflake DIY Table Runner Supplies:
- Metallic Cardstock.
- Darice Assorted Snowflake Dies.
- Adhesive.
- Embossing Die Cutting Machine.
Step 1. To begin your snowflake DIY table runner, trim your 12 x 12 paper down to 6 x 12, so it will fit through the embossing die cutting machine.
Step 2. Lay out your snowflake dies on the cutting mat, cut side up.
Step 3. Place the paper over your dies, metallic side down. Then place top cutting mat on top of paper. Roll through your embossing die cutting machine.
Step 4. You should end up with a large pile of die cut snowflakes.
Step 5. Apply adhesive to the back of part of the snowflakes (just the areas you will be attaching to other snowflakes).
Step 6. Attach the point with the adhesive to other snowflakes.
Step 7. Continue to build on, making your snowflake DIY table runner into the shape you’d like.
Once you use all of your snowflakes, you should end up with something like this, if you were going for a rectangular shape.
Place your shiny snowflake DIY runner on your table and decorate as desired.
This snowflake DIY table runner is bright and shiny and can be used now through the rest of winter. Do you have the perfect place in your home to display it? Check out this DIY snowflake winter banner tutorial for another great project using snowflake die cuts.
