If you’re using a rectangular piece of paper, position it vertically and fold the top left corner down to meet the right edge of the paper, then cut off the excess paper peeking out from the bottom to make a square sheet of paper.
For a more intricate snowflake, make 1-2 more evenly spaced cuts.
Alternatively, secure the corners together with glue for a cleaner look. Just be sure to hold them together with your fingers until the glue dries.
For smaller snowflakes, it may be easier to use double-sided tape or white glue in place of staples.
Fasten your 3D snowflake to lollipop sticks using a push pin to make a pinwheel.
If you’re unsure of how to cut, trace a christmas tree design into the rectangle and use that as a template for your paper snowflake pattern. This piece of paper will serve as the first part of your snowflake, and you’ll use it as a template for the rest of the pieces.
You’ll now have 5 identical pieces to your snowflake.
Experiment with different cutting patterns on your next snowflakes to make a unique and mesmerizing snowflake each time.
