How To Make Paper Snowflakes (Step-by-step)

A paper snowflake is a very festive craft during the winter and also one of the easiest to make once you get the hang of it. Here's how to make a classic 6 point snowflake out of paper.

Grab a scissors and a regular piece of paper, this one is 8x11.

Fold the piece of paper so that it makes a square (if it wasn't square to begin with). You should have a little flap on the side.

Cut the extra piece of paper from the rest of the soon-to-be paper snowflake.

Take the triangle that you now have and fold it again into a smaller triangle.

Take one side of the triangle and fold it halfway over the rest of the paper.

Take the unfolded side of the triangle and fold it over the remaining side. Make sure the 2 sides align nicely and there is no overhangs, otherwise the snowflake will not be even.

Cut along where the marked line is. This step is not necessary at this point but it makes handling the paper snowflake easier.

You can now trace a design into your snowflake, or if you don't have anything in mind you can freestyle a design as long as you make sure not to cut the edges of the snowflake in the wrong place.

Cut the design out. If you draw a design, make sure to cut outside the edges.

Now carefully unwrap the snowflake making sure not to tear any delicate parts. Smooth out the creases and you're done.
