How to Make Paper Snowflakes?
Materials: Paper and scissors.
- Fold the paper in half: Start with a square piece of paper. Fold the paper in half diagonally to make a triangle
- Fold into another triangle: Now, fold the triangle in half so the pointy corners meet.
- Fold into thirds.
- Fold and make adjustments: Fold in half so there is one point facing up and two points on the bottom. You may need to adjust the fold a little to get the sides to match up, so don’t crease the paper until the folds are just right.
- Cut across bottom: Cut across the bottom of your paper (cutting off the two points) so that it is straight.
- Cut lines into triangle: Cut the folded paper with variations of straight and curvy lines. Get creative with your snowflake designs by experimenting with different sizes and shapes of cutouts.
- Unfold paper: Gently unfold the paper to see your unique snowflake. Use poster putty to attach to windowpanes, or make a wreath of snowflakes by sticking them one at a time to a wall with poster putty.
Enjoy your new winter decorations!
