Snow flakes dress up any window in the house making it feel festive. The hardest part in making these is getting the fold down. After you’ve done it a few times it becomes old hat. For a bit of whimsy, send a “special delivery” envelope off to an older relative filled with these beautiful one of a kind paper “crystals” or as an addition to a hostess gift include a bunch ready to cut wound with ribbon. Happy Holidays!

Start with a square piece of paper. If you want to be efficient, use a 8.5” X 11” piece of paper and cut it in half. Make squares from each half. Now let’s get down to business.

  1. Fold your square in half diagonally to make a triangle.
  1. Fold your triangle in half again making a smaller triangle.
  1. Now fold your triangle into 3 parts by folding the left and right sides in so the tops meet in the middle. Technically each angle at the top will be 30 degrees.
  1. Cut the tails off. You can play around with this as you gain experience. We suggest you cut them off in a straight line to start off with then work your way up to playing with angles.
  1. Get creative and cut away! The more shapes the better!
