We refer to these patterns as "doilies," or Hawaiian snowflakes. Four sided doily flakes are popular shapes, geometric and easy for little hands. Hawaiian snowflake designs are used to create beautiful two-color quilts and wall-hangings.
Print all patterns on regular or colored paper. Use sharp scissors. For intricate patterns use small cuticle scissors.
An art form called: Gwiazdy, is where the folded flake has eight sides. Gwiazdy is Polish for "stars." This style of paper cutting is from the Kurpie and Lowicz regions of Poland. Cool Huh! Use our 4 sided patterns to make spectacular Gwiazdy designs!
