snowflakes

It is that time of year to make paper snowflakes. Here is a digital version of that exercise. 
(ht to @mrlosik and his instructable to 3D print snowflakes https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Holiday-Snowflakes/ ). 

http://rectangleworld.com/PaperSnowflake/ gives you a folded piece of paper that you draw polygons on to make cuts. {i wish they asked you how many folds you wanted}. The next step is to take a picture/screenshot of your snowflake. I used purple as a high contrast background to make it easier to remove later, there is not a choice for "no background". I imported the screenshot into my Cricut Design Space, then did some steps to remove the purple and saved the "new" image. [i completely missed the part where it gave an option to save as a "cut image" vs a "print & cut"]. Then I inserted the new image into a project and chose "no fill" under print, so it is just a cut image.

Now you are ready to cut this out of sticker material, heat transfer, window clings, cereal box...
