Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Start your snowflake with a square piece of paper. This paper can be of any color or size.
Step2
Make your first fold by folding one corner of the square to the opposite corner. You should now have a large triangle.
Step3
Fold this triangle in half and now you should have a smaller triangle.
Step4
Fold the right side of the triangle over and slightly past the perpendicular center line of the triangle. The point of this right side of the triangle is now slightly below the base of the triangle. Do the same thing with the left side of the triangle. You now have a triangular shape with an inverted "v" at the bottom.
Step5
Cut a straight line across the bottom, removing the inverted "v." You should be left with a triangle once again.
Step6
Look at your triangle and notice the top point. This is the center of your snowflake. If you cut this off, you will see a whole in the center of your snowflake.
Step7
Cut paths from the two base points of the triangle to the top point.
Step8
Open your paper and reveal the snowflake.

on 12/14/2007 Very nice article and I like how you tied it in with Oragami - a kind of lost art which I believe, is making its way back!!!
