How do you think all the superheroes and villains celebrate the holidays? Can you picture the Avengers curled up by the fire, sipping cocoa, and watching Elf for the 4th time in a month? How about the Justice League going caroling, with the Joker behind them singing "Jingle Bells, Batman smells" to the Dark Knight's dismay? We know how WE like to celebrate the holidays as Marvel and DC fans – with arts and crafts! We have created 9 patterns for superhero-themed paper snowflakes that will look great above your mantle, adorning your Christmas cards, or placed upon your tree with care. From Spiderman to Wonder Woman, Incredible Hulk and Thor, these snowflakes are a fun project to do while waiting for the 25th.
In each printable file, we include instructions on how to cut these. A tip from our crafting geniuses – we stapled in the thinner gray parts to keep the paper nice and sturdy so we could get clean lines in our snowflakes. Fun, huh?! See the bottom of the post for photo reference.

If you made all of these snowflakes, please share them with us! As you can see from above, you're not just limited to using white paper – try to mix it up with some colored sheets, too. And to keep the holiday spirit going, why not wear an ugly Christmas sweater while you're crafting? Perhaps an ugly DC Christmas sweater, to be exact! We have styles for men and women!
