How to Make Cutouts of Snowflakes

Making your own paper snowflakes is a festive little craft project for the winter season. They can be made in a variety of sizes to create a diverse winter display. Patterns for paper snowflakes are available in craft books as well as online, but to fully appreciate them, they should be like real snowflakes, with no two being exactly alike.

Things You'll Need

• Paper squares of varying size
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Fold your pieces of paper diagonally to form a triangle.

2. Fold the paper once more to make a smaller triangle.

3. Fold the paper once again to make an even smaller triangle.

4. Use the scissors to cut various shapes on each of the three sides of the triangle.

5. Unfold the paper slowly, being careful not to tear it, to reveal your unique paper snowflake.
