A Full Paper Snowflake Example

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 this clip and in our next series of clips, I'm going to show you a couple of different examples. We have a paper snowflake here that you can see. You can also notice the middle. We haven't cut it out. As I mentioned in the earlier clip, we've got a point here. This forms the center of the snowflake. I'm going to give you a couple of examples and you can jot them on a piece of paper for a couple of different shapes. This cut out here is what your snowflake will turn into. The easiest way to start. You can start however you like, but what I tend to do is to cut out the portions over here. You want to make a cut from the bottom, move up a little bit. You're going to cut in here and then you're going to come up. You can either round it or you can make it pointy. Then you're going to make 2 little triangle incisions over here like so. One there and one there. You can see we've also left the point here at the edge. These right here form the ends or the pointed parts of your snowflake, the edges. Don't forget again, D. This would actually be E once again and this is D. D is the center and E is the outer part. You can see here we haven't cut either of them away, so we've got both on our snowflake. "
