Paper Snowflake
6 pieces of paper
scissors
tape
stapler
1. get the first piece of paper, fold it so i makes a complete triangle,( and when you unfold it, i will form a perfect square)
2. cut off the piece at the bottom of the triangle (square when you unfold).
3. make sure that the long crease is at the bottom and the one point is at the top
4. fold from the left corner to the right corner
5. NOT the side you can unfold, but the other side the side that is creased. You need to get your scissors out and cut 5 slits in the CREASED side.
6. After cutting the slits, unfold the whole project.
7.the smallest 2 slits closest to the middle, pull them together, and tape little corners.
8. flip paper over the NEXT corners closest to the middle.... pull together, tape corners
9. flip over to same side as 7 just for the NEXT in line
10. flip over to same side as 8 same as 9 & 8
11. flip over to same side as 9 & 7. Same as 8 & 9 & 10
12. when you are finished all of the slits, you figure should look like an iceicle.
13. repeat steps 1-12, for 5 more times
14. when finished a total of 6 iceicle look-alike figures, staple. (you are to gather all ENDS of one side of the iceicle look-alike figures and staple)
15. staple the LAST corners that u taped on each side of the figure. this should make you figure turn into a snowflake
Hope you like it. I learned this at school. I have them all over my house. They look Amazing. Happy Holidays!

It is really pretty and would love to make it but seems too hard to understand it needs pictures to go by.
Instructions are not user- friendly. The project looks like it would add a beautiful decor to the holiday atmosphere if only you could figure out how to make them from the instructions.
the instructions are hard to understand.
i need to know how to fold the paper from the benining to the end show pictures or go into more detailes about the folding the paper .
AH Ha! I figured it out! Cut the slits about 1/2 from original folded line. Then open up the paper. Tape like slits together, flip back and forth from one side to the other. when you have all of the six pieces done just staple the last X to another pieces X and staple one end to all the pieces
This looks cute, but the instructions do not provide an understandable guide. How long are the cuts supposed to be. There is no instruction on how long to cut the slits. Cut most of the way across does not put the smaller cuts in the center/middle?
I agree with everyone else. I would LOVE to make these stars. I tried and triedbut still don't understand. How long do you cut the slits? Definately NEED photos! This would be a 5 star if there were more specific instructions.
lovely idea - would really like to make them but instructions hard to follow without images to go with them. I see the other comments have not produced a result though. Pity.
anychance you could possibly do step by step photos, looks beautiful tho, wana make all diffent colours
I like the idea but I don't understand the instructions.
I really don't get how the whole pulling up and taping corners part works. Can you please clarify?
