A Bit bigger than my normal project this snowflake is 4ft across. Made from wood strips,wood glue and screws . All snowflakes have hexagonal symetry ( 6 points) that meand you need 60 degrees between each strust from a central point so dig that protractor out. The inner angles of the of the inner hexagon are 120 degrees. the inner hexagon keeps the flake in shape. The lights are then attached with cable ties. I used 240 lights and had just enough. White wire lights would look better but i could only find green. Make sure your lights are for outdoor use if putting the flake up outside.
See the next post for how it looks.
