Snowflake Craft


You will need 6-8 sheets of paper, scissors, tape, and a stapler.

1. Take a corner of the paper and fold it over to make a triangle.

2. Cut off the extra paper.

3. Fold the triangle in half to form a smaller triangle.

4. Hold the triangle at an angle, folded edge down, and cut 3 lines up to the top but DO NOT reach the edge with your cut; leave a small margin between the edge and the end of your cut. (Click on the picture for a close-up view, and use the triangle at the left as an example for what it should end up looking like.)

5. Unfold the paper and it should look like this: (If it doesn't, you probably messed up in example 4).

6. Take the 2 middle strips of paper and tape them together.

7. Flip over the paper and take the next 2 strips and tape them together. Repeat taping and flipping for the rest of the strips.

8. After you are done with step 7 you should get 1 of these shown below. Repeat steps 1-7 until you get about 6-8 of these. (I usually use 8).

9. Take 3 or 4 of the pieces and staple them together at the ends. Take another group of 3 or 4 and repeat. After that, take the 2 groups and staple them together at the ends to form a snowflake.

10. Staple the sides of the pieces together to prevent them from sliding around.
