Making Snowflakes

• 1). Find or cut a square sheet sheet of paper.
  
  
• 2). Fold the paper diagonally to make a triangle.
  
  
• 3). Fold the resulting triangle diagonally again to make a smaller triangle. Then fold that triangle, overlapping one corner across the triangle to make two overlapping triangles.
  
  
• 4). Fold the bottom triangle over and across the top one. Trim the edge so that you are left with one small triangle with no points. For clear diagrams, visit highhopes.com/snowflakes.html.
  
  
• 5). Cut into this shape before unfolding it to create a snowflake pattern. You can experiment with different cuts to make different designs. Try a few and unfold them to see how they turn out, or consult the diagrams at highhopes.com/snowflakes.html for ideas.
