How to recycle 6pack rings into snowflake

I got the original how to information from Craftbits who had a quick tutorial on how to make these, but then I was asked by a couple of followers if I could make a more comprehensive step by step for this project.  Here it is:


Here's what you will need to make 1 large snowflake ornament:

   
    *20 six-pack beverage holder rings


    *1 foot of fishing line


    *Stapler


    *Staples


    *Scissors


 
Take 2 of your 6 pack rings and lay them back to back on top of eachother.  You'll notice that they curve in one direction.  Stack them so they curve away from eachother like the next photo
 
Staple them together here and here


Now you'll fold them to match the Staple marks

 Repeat on the back side

It will look like this when both sides are done

Get 2 more 6pack rings and repeat, then you will connect them together:


Staple at the arrows, flip over and staple in the same place on the other side

Now continue until you've connected 10 of these together like the next photo



Now you'll run your fishing line through 1 side



Now pull the fishing line taut to form a ring.  Knot the fishing line. Now staple to connect the 2 ends. Flip and staple connecting 2 ends on other side

 

Cut off excess fishing line and use to make a ring to hang your snowflake:



Here's what your finished snowflake will look like.  So pretty!



Have fun and enjoy this great recycled Christmas project!
