Making paper snowflakes is a favourite childhood memory of mine, so I was happy to try them out with my kids.
As with real-life snowflakes, each paper snowflake you make will be unique if you cut it a little differently.
Here’s How To Make Paper Snowflakes
You will need
- White paper, e.g. printer paper
- Scissors
Method
#1. Using a piece of square paper, fold along the diagonal to make a triangle. (See A)
#2. Fold that triangle in half to make a smaller triangle. (See B)
#3. This is the trickiest bit, fold that triangle onto itself in thirds. There will be little triangle tails at the bottom edge. (See C and D)
#4. Cut off the tails! (See E)
#5. Cut into the triangle and Ho!Ho!Ho! unfold it to reveal your snowflake! (See F)
