The Final Paper Folds to Make Paper Snowflakes

Video Transcript

"Hello! My name is Melissa Schenk and on behalf of Expert Village, today we're going to learn how to make paper snowflakes. In our last clip, we did our first couple of folds, and we were then left with small triangle that looks like this. In our next series of folds here, you're going to take that small triangle like this. Remember, this edge on the left hand side was C. You're going to take that and you're going to fold it like so. You're going to fold it almost down the middle. What you eventually want to accomplish is to have these 2 points folding in and across. First off, you're going to fold that in like so. The letter C folds in. We're left with right in here, F, and a new point E as well. Then in our next fold, we just do the same but on the opposite side. You fold this over. Again, this was the edge that was A equals B, so you're left with a fold like that. This isn't a fold here, but you're left with a little cone we'll say. You're going to make one cut. You need to take your scissors and you need to cut across. One of the easiest things to do with this when you make your cut is to actually turn it over, because you can see the straight line. You can't see it here, but if you turn it over and flip it, there is a straight edge on the opposite side. Cut that and then I will see you in the next clip, and we'll get cutting the rest of our paper snowflake. "
