Step 1: Take an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of
paper and fold one corner over. Cut
off the paper outside of the fold
and place the rectangular strip in
recycle. (see red dotted line for
where to cut) |
 |
Step 2: Fold corner to corner once again
to make a smaller triangle. |
 |
Step: 3 This will result in one triangle
side having 1 fold, and one side
with two folds. |
 |
Step: 4 Make 3 to 5 cuts from the side
with the single fold to the side
with the two folds. The cuts will be
parallel to the side with the raw
edges. |
 |
Step: 5 Open the the square and lay it
flat. |
 |
Step: 6 Start in the middle. Bring the
two points together and glue. |
 |
Step: 7 Flip the square over and bring
the next 2 points together and glue.
Continue repeating these steps by
flipping the square and glue each
set of points until all are done. |
 |
Step: 8 Repeat the above steps
1 to 7 for each
of the square pieces of paper you
have. |
 |
Step: 9 Pick up the point of
one end and join the other end
points to it. Use a staple or glue
and let dry. A staple works best. |
 |
Step: 10 Glue or staple the
outside mid point edges of each
piece. Glue works best as the
staples will be visible on the edges
of your finished snowflake. |
|
Once you have finished joining
the mid points you should have a
snowflake to display! |

Many thanks to Mrs. W and a Cycle 2
class from her school for filling my
office with a blizzard of these
snowflakes and for taking the time
to allow a step by step photo
session to show us the building of a
3D snowflake. |
