Remember the fun of making paper snowflakes as a child? You're sure to have fun making my 32 unique ornaments of faith, (16 designs, 2 each). Ornament designs include: angels, butterflies, crosses, crowns, doves, fish, hearts and stars. To make the ornaments, you'll need a small scissors and a 1/8" hole punch. For ages 9-Adult.What is a CHRISMON SNOWFLAKE ORNAMENT? you may wonder. The word, Chrismon, is a medieval Latin word meaning a symbol of Christ or Christianity, or a Christ-Monogram. Crowns, crosses, doves, stars, and butterflies are a few examples of Chrismon ornaments. A Chrismon Christmas tree is traditionally adorned with Chrismon ornaments, white lights, and gold balls or garland. All Chrismon ornaments are white, or white and gold. White represents God's holiness, and gold symbolizes the glory of God. While making paper cut snowflakes with my children one Christmas, I wanted my designs to reflect the spiritual nature of the season. By trial and error I incorporated Chrismon designs into each snowflake. Hence, Chrismon Snowflake Ornaments were developed! The special way they are folded and cut gives them their three dimensional quality. Chrismon Snowflakes are reminiscent of German and Swiss Scherenschnitte, (the religious art/craft of intricate paper cutting).
