How to make it
Give younger grandkids rounded safety scissors.
1Make a square
Fold one corner of the paper down to the other side to make a triangle. Cut off the strip at the bottom.
2Fold to a triangle
Fold the triangle in half again to make a smaller triangle.
3Fold in thirds
Fold the left side over, then the right side, like closing a pamphlet. Trim the uneven bottom.
4Cut the shapes
Snip triangles, curves and notches along both folded edges.
5Open it slowly
Unfold carefully. Every snip shows up 6 times.
6Hang it up
Tape it to a window or hang it from thread.
Coffee filters are thin and round already, so they take fewer folds and much less hand strength to cut.
