Description
This is a snowman made from paper, folded into a honeycomb of fine ribs that opens out into three rounded tiers: a full base, a smaller middle and a head topped with a little brimmed hat. It is 8cm across and 13cm tall, a size that reads clearly on a Christmas tree without crowding the decorations around it, and at 0.02KG it adds next to nothing to the load on a branch. The paper is cream, a soft, warm shade that sits easily beside glass baubles, straw stars and natural greenery.
It is made to hang, with a thin loop at the top that slips over a branch tip or a hook. On the tree its ribbed outline gives the branches a shape that stands apart from the rounder baubles, and the folds catch shadow in a way that changes as you move around it. Away from the tree, it hangs just as well from a window latch, a door handle, a wreath, a garland along the mantelpiece or a few winter twigs in a vase. It suits anyone building a pale, gentle Christmas scheme rather than a bright one, and it is small enough to tie onto a wrapped present as a gift topper that can go straight onto the tree afterwards.
Its construction is plain to see: layers of paper joined in a honeycomb, which turns a flat sheet material into a rounded, ribbed figure. Each fold is finished with a fine shimmering edge that catches the light, a detail best appreciated up close. Paper is light and delicate by nature, so hold it by the loop and pack it away where heavier decorations will not press on it. For the best effect, hang it at eye level on an outer branch, where the snowman shape stands clear against the green.
