Since it's Christmas (whether celebrating it or not) I thought I'd forego my usual Wednesday column for something to do instead. So here are five snowflake templates to print and cut out, each based on a different superhero; Batman, Storm (I used her old headdress, who knows if she's still wearing that), Iron Man (both the old circular chest reactor and the triangular one incorporated), Wonder Woman, and the Punisher (I wanted to make the knives serrated, but my paper was too thick and it was too fiddly).

Click on the thumbnails below to download a pdf which prints on any US letter-size printer.

At the bottom of the page are step-by-step instructions, (using the Batman Snowflake as an example). I tested these with some pretty blunt scissors so they shouldn't be too tricky to cut out.
