Want Any Snowflakes From The Shop?

ldhensonNo. 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?
