Get out the kids scissors. It's snowing....paper snowflakes that is. This snowflake is really classified as a star. Officially snowflakes have six points. Decorate the whole house with snowflake and star crafts for the holiday.

Scissors

White Paper

Click on Printables and print the pattern on white paper.

Cut out the square (outer line).

Fold the square in half along the dashed line labeled FOLD 1. Keep the grey and white triangle (1/8th of snowflake) visible after each step.

Fold in half again along the line labeled FOLD 2 which extends to the center of the snowflake.

Fold along the diagonal of the square on the line labeled FOLD 3 so that you are left with a triangle shape of folded paper with the grey snowflake image filling one side.
 
With a small pair of sharp scissors cut away all the grey areas so that only the white areas between the grey patches remain. Carefully unfold to reveal your completed snowflake.
