"I think this is a great idea for topping gifts and other uses as well. We are getting closer to the holidays and it is the perfect time to start preparing for wrapping gifts and thinking about working toward having a more organized holiday season. These paper pom poms would be great for gifts, but could also be used for a garlands, even a paper wreath for inside doors. Good one to try very soon!!!"

"These would be a really fun project to do with kids or grandkids! It is really fun to decorate for Fall and these leaves would be nice for a paper garland, for a wreath or for sticking on a window. Crafting with kids helps them with dexterity and artistic creation. My daughter and I used to do crafts together for fun. One time, when she was in college, she brought home a couple of friends and we all crafted for fun one evening. Hoping for grandkids one day to craft with too!"

"I tried this and it was hard to cut uniformly just like paper doilies, so I think a light weight paper would work better. Two more things I think it would have worked better if I had started with a square instead of rectangle and the other thing is to make sure to make enough pleats so the sides touch when the snowflake is unfolded."

"How precious! I love the color scheme of this free printable - it's so soothing! I would love to receive a gift card in this cute little idea."

Ruth Hamilton

My name is Ruth Hamilton and I am an avid paper-crafter. I live in beautiful Northern Ireland with my husband and two grown- up sons.

My many interests include drawing, gardening, flower arranging, interior design as well as paper crafts.

I have a blog, A Passion for Cards, where I regularly post my creations, often with tutorials. I designed the Pick of the Bunch range for Tonic Studios, which is where I enjoy both the “behind the scenes” designing of a product/tool and then get creative by showing what you can do with it. I always have a notepad and pencil at the ready as you just never know what can inspire you in nature or your surroundings.

My predominant theme is florals; I’m always drawing, colouring or just “thinking” flowers!

Some of my creations are regularly featured in a couple of craft magazines, “Cardmaking and Papercraft” and “Crafts Beautiful,” and it’s always exciting to see how they have been set up and photographed for publication.

When I’m not designing or creating, you will often find me out and about demonstrating. I love all the interaction and feedback I get when I meet up with other crafters. I’m also delighted to be on the Design Teams for, Tonic Studios, Papermill Direct, and Fantastic Ribbons. This combination works like a dream for me!

Recently I have become the proud owner of a Silhouette Cameo and am just getting to grips with it. Hopefully you’ll see some of my Cameo creations in the near future..
