How to Cut Out a Paper Snowflake

Video Transcript

"So you live where it doesn't snow and you really don't cry about it, but you like to make paper snowflakes during Christmas. So my name is Robert Segundo and I'm going to teach you how to make paper snowflakes. We are going to do this we are going to start with a piece of paper. I got a square piece here it doesn't necessarily have to be square, you can use rectangular what ever shape you want really. The more funky the shape the better the snowflake will be. What we are going to do is we are going to fold it into a triangle. Something along those lines. And fold it over again, we are going to make sure we leave all the open ends on one side. It's very important so our snowflake doesn't fall apart. So if we don't you know, in case we cut it wrong. So now I've got it folded into a triangle, this is enough for me, you can fold it as many times as you want to and just make the patterns more and more crazy but it will also make it harder to cut. So what we are going to do is, I'm just going to take out quite a big chunk right there. That's my open ends so it doesn't matter what I do. Lets come in here and take some shapes out. There we go. A little deep on there. Now we are going to make sure that we leave enough of this so it will hinge back open when ever we cut it so. Lets do a couple of diamond shapes in there. Or whatever. If you cut the whole thing up, your snowflake won't open and then you will be very sad. I'm going to go ahead and chop that tip off cause we really don't need it. Lets go ahead and lets make some funky designs in here as well. There we go. Make sure you leave enough on this side too so it will hinge. Lets just open it up and see what we got here. There we go, that's pretty nice. I like that snowflake. So you know play around with the designs, have fun with it and just enjoy."
