How to Make a Paper Snowflake
Making a paper snowflake is a fun winter craft. You can make each snowflake look special and different. Paper snowflakes look great hanging in windows or on the wall. Before you begin, gather your supplies on a clean, flat table. You will need a square sheet of white paper and a pair of scissors. Scissors are sharp, so always ask an adult helper to work with you during this craft.
First, place your square paper on the table in front of you. Fold the paper in half by bringing one corner across to the opposite corner. Press down firmly on the fold to make a sharp crease. Your paper should now look like a large triangle. Smooth the paper down with your fingers so it stays flat.
Next, fold the large triangle in half one more time. Take one pointed corner and fold it over to match the other corner. Press the fold down flat with your hand. Now you have a smaller triangle that is thicker than before. This small triangle will become your beautiful snowflake.
