Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1. Fold your SQUARE piece of paper in half, it doesn't matter in what direction. Slide your thumb across the bend to make the edge more sharp. Keep folding the paper and pressing the fold again and again until it is really small. The more sharp the edge is, the easier it is to fold again. You should fold at least 8 times.

Tips & Warnings

• The more folds you make, the more intricate your design will be.
• You can use a hole puncher to make designs on your snowflake.
• The corners of your designs can be easily ripped by pulling, so ad tape to one side of the snowflake. On the front side you should see the stick part of the tape. The sticky tape makes one side of the snowflake really good, so display that side.
• Corners of the snowflake could be sharp.
