Paper Snowflake Decorations

I have a daughter who made several beautiful snowflakes following these instructions I have saved (I think from Martha Stewart Living).  After laminating them, we strung them from clear thread (attaching thread with glue from a glue gun).  I placed a dot of hot glue from a glue gun at the top of the window and set the end of the snowflakes thread into it until it hardened.  Then the snowflake appeared to dangle in mid-air.  I save them and place them in the windows each year so we have a little "snow" on Christmas.
