Cómo hacerlo

1. Print out the templates which are available as separate PDF files for this idea. Attach the templates onto a piece of card with self-adhesive tape and cut out the the shape through both layers of paper.

2. A decoupage paper skirt: Cut a square piece of design paper measuring 16 x 16 cm. Fold this once in both directions to form a smaller square.

3. 'Pleat' the skirt by folding the square piece of paper another couple of times like four small squares. Round the edges at the bottom with a pair of scissors.

4. Twist the paper tightly.

5. Cut a hole at the tip. Now carefully pull the skirt onto the ballerina.

6. Tighten the skirt by making small pleats at the ballerina's waist and secure with glue.

7. A laced skirt: Fold the punched-out snowflake a couple of times in the same manners as the decoupage paper. Cut a hole in the middle and attach the snowflake laced skirt onto the ballerina. Make small pleats at the waist and glue.
