A STEM Project: Making a Slice Form Snow Globe Christmas Ornament


Slice Form Snow Globe with Hanger for the Christmas tree.  
This is also suitable for mailing as it can lie flat.

Using the four inch slice form snow globe that was created here, https://papercraftetc.blogspot.com/2020/10/a-stem-project-how-to-make-slice-form.html.  Add a hanger to the top of the slice form to make a way to hang the ornament on the tree.

The steps to make a hanger are as follows: 1. Make an oval.  2. Go into point editing mode, delete the bottom most point and make the line flat at the bottom 3. Make a rectangle and place it by the half of and oval 4. Offset the two with a distance of 0.100 in. The inner rectangle can be deleted. 5. Center the hanger to the top of the four inch inner slice form and Weld it to the slice form
