I have also prepared for you four simple steps that will help you create your snowflakes. Let’s take action!

Step 1

Begin with a square piece of paper. Fold it into a triangle by folding in half once. Then, take this triangle and fold it in half, so you obtain a smaller one.

Step 2

Take the triangle you obtain and cut three slits starting at the hypotenuse edge. Be careful though, because you have to stay away for the folded edge that has to remain uncut together with the furthermost leg of the triangle, which is the vertical side of what forms the right angle.

Step 3

You’ve done all the folding. Now it’s time for you to unfold the triangle. From the inside of the square, bend the piece of paper to obtain what looks like a cannoli and then tape. Next, flip the paper over and do the same with the next strips. Continue until no strips remain. Repeat the three steps until you have a total of six pieces.

Step 4

Now that you’ve obtained your six pieces, put them all together and staple their ends. After you’ve stapled them, let then fan out and use the stapler again. Link the piece that forms a cross to the one next to it at the piece that forms a cross. You have to repeat the process to each of the individual papers. This last step is highly important because it stabilized the snowflakes form.
