Want Any Snowflakes From The Shop?

No. 5 in my series of paper snowflakes.

We are talking major ice cream headache here, folks.





Closer to real size:



I wanted to keep the lines for this one clean since it's such an iconic shape. It was much harder to cut than I expected, since a lot of the paper was being separated from its surroundings, and so did not want to stay lined up while I finished cutting. You can also see how the thickness of the paper produces different-sized slices between the cones, because twelve folded layers will result in displacement along a folded edge. I have to be super-careful with this one, because at one point there is a 1/32" bridge of paper holding it together. (Yikes.)


Closeup! "Just one Cornetto..."



Flake is 8 3/8" across from vanilla peak to vanilla peak.

Do you think a dozen cones is enough to satisfy the various Fregg couples?

WOW.
ALL of these snowflakes are absolutely amazing! And all the different movies and such you've done is spectacular!
I had to comment here, though, because Fregg is automatic ♥.

(I wandered over from geekcrafts, by the way.)

Aw, thank you very much! The snowflakes are a source of much grumbling and hair-tearing but they're always worth it when I unfold them at the end :-)

Also, for more Cornetto fun I also did these (http://ldhenson.livejournal.com/157409.html). Because Cornettos + Fregg = <3

I can't even begin to wrap my mind around how in the world you make the, but they're nothing short of amazing!

Ooh! Plushie Cornettos!
