Alrighty, firstly you need to play with this snowflake generator and make yourself a pretty design: http://blog.inventables.com/2014/11/snowflake-generator.html
When it’s looking real nice-like, save out an .svg.
2
Import into Easel
Open up Easel (or whatever software you’re using) and import the .svg you just created. Add a hole for hanging it if you please, and resize/rotate until you’re happy.
3
Make it!
Send it to the machine and let it rip! Repeat endlessly or variably until you’ve had your fill of the holiday spirit.
The snowflake generator program is blocked in my region because it is part of a range of addresses associated with malware. The .me extension is also a concern for those in charge of filtering. Can this generator be hosted elsewhere? I would love to use it with students but am unable to do so.
