life ~ a photostory

  ~ a life update in the form of a photostory ~ this is truly Julia's aesthetic, entirely by accident, most of her closet is blue and white stripes. she's always either wearing her airplane propeller necklace or her dream necklace, wearing double dutch braids.  Once upon a time, there was a girl named Julia. She was a dreamer, one with a good imagination and wide horizons. Some of her happiest days as a teenager were spent taking photos of dolls, lying in the street to get the perfect angle. Her dolls were like built in friends, companions wherever she went, on trips and vacations and outings.  As she grew up, Julia grew busier and busier, and high school was a lot of work. But she had goals and she did everything she could to reach them. One of them was graduating two years early, which took up a lot of time and energy. After hours upon hours of studying, she finally graduated.  Taking a gap year beginning in 2020, the weirdest year of the century, she had no lack of other thi

- How to Make a Paper Snowflake - DOTM July

You will need:
One sheet of construction/copy paper, white or blue.
A pair of scissors.
A ruler.
An electronic device to read this on.
1. Find a piece of blue or white copy paper (place it in vertical rectangle then fold it in half. )

2. Sketch three out of the six points your snowflake will have using a ruler on the fold- try your best to make the angles even, and remember that since they are connected to the fold the angles on the left of point one and right of point three will be twice as big. Cut the shape out.

3. Unfold it and look at the base of your snowflake. This is when you do a little trimming if the sides look unequally proportioned.

 
4. Refold it on the previously created fold.
5. Fold it again, symmetrically.
6. Start cutting little triangles, circles, etc in the shape you now have. Be careful not to chop it in half!

7. Unfold it completely- wha la! You have a lacy-looking paper snowflake.
NOTE: Is anyone thinking in the politest possible way, "It's July, strange person. So why snowflakes?"
If I wanted to I could remind you that it's cold in the Arctic- Or on a mountaintop somewhere.
You could make this an excuse to use the scissors, to decorate for something, or make a card with.
Maybe you should just remember this in four months.
I could say that this is my post and you have no alternative. >:D *evil laugh*
