How to Make a Paper Snowflake

Video Transcript

"If you live close to the equator, like I do, you don't get to see much snow, but hey, that means you get to go to the beach on Christmas, so, hey, you know, you give up one thing for another. So today, if you're lonely for snowflakes, I'm going to teach you how to make a paper snowflake. My name is Robert Segundo, and let's get started. We're going to do is we're going to take a piece of paper here, I'm using a white piece of paper because I haven't seen snow in quite a while. And we're just going to fold it over, let's fold it into a triangle. Now, you don't have to use a square piece of paper, you can use a rectangle piece of paper, whatever, whatever piece you can get a hold of. Let's take it and, yeah, let's fold it over like that. There's many different ways you can do this, you know, different folds for different sizes, but what you want to do is you want to remember a couple of things, which is this edge right here, you need at least not cut this complete edge off, you want to keep some of it so your for your snowflake to hinge back open, and this side as well, but this side's an open end so we can do whatever we want to here, we can just cut this all up, so. Let's cut a little diamond shape into that. Let's cut a really deep one in here, just for fun. Now I'm going to cut just a little bit out over here, so, cut this into a little V shape off here. And you can just do whatever, you know, play around with it and experiment to see which design you like. Let's put something round in here, just for fun. There we go. Take the Bob Ross approach to all this. Now we're just going to take it and open it up. Look at that! Somewhat of a snowflake, but I mean you can cut it up however you want to and get the sizes that you like or the shape that you like, so, just play around with it, have fun, and enjoy."
