d.i.y. project: quilled snowflakes

It hasn't yet snowed here in Boulder Colorado, but perhaps if enough people create some quilled versions of the tiny cold beauties-the snow fairies will be summoned.

Quilling is very simple and only consists of wrapping and gluing strips of paper together. These images are from this flickr collection. A very detailed tutorial on how to quill can be found at the DIY network.

....or there is always another different type of cut and twisted lacy snowflake here.
