Paper Snowflakes

Materials:
Scissors
Paper
String or tape for hanging
Glue
Glitter



1. Fold the paper into a perfect square by folding it on a diagonal and cutting off the extra flap that isn't part of the fold.

2. Fold the paper in half so it makes a smaller triangle, and fold it again into thirds, folding each side toward the middle.

Cut the top off (the two points) to create a triangle which becomes the base of your snowflake.

3. Now experiment with how different cuts make paper snowflakes of different shapes. For example, cutting the bottom tip off the triangle will create a cut in the centre of the paper snowflake. Cutting a wavy shape into the right side creates an identical curve pattern in each of the six folds and the centre, and cutting both sides makes two different patterns in the snowflake.

4. To make your display even more magical, finish your paper snowflakes using glitter glue for a sparkly finish that looks beautiful when it catches the sunlight. Or set out markers or coloured pencils and have each family member decorate their cut snowflakes for a truly unique look.
Use clear tape to show them off as part of a holiday window display. Or use string, yarn, or fishing wire to hang them from the ceiling or staircase.
