Making Snowflakes

I cant help it. I used to make these as a kid, I think all kids did. Ive often been told Im just a big kid. Somethings you never outgrow!
so here goes.


How to Make a Paper Snowflake or a Snowflake Card.

Make simple snowflakes from paper. You can tape these snowflakes to a window for a nice winter decoration or paste them onto a piece of folded construction paper for a great winter card.
Supplies needed:

White paper
Scissors
Optional: A protractor
Optional: Glitter or glitter glue

For a card: A piece of colored construction paper and glue

Real snowflakes all have six sides, so the first part of this project involves folding a piece of paper into sixths.
Fold a piece of paper in half.
Fold over one side, then the other, to make two 60 degree folds. You can do this by eye, or you can use a protractor. This is a good exercise in geometry and measuring angles.
Cut off the edges of the paper in an arc - this makes a circle (if you were to unfold the paper).
Cut a lot of the paper away.
Unfold your snowflake carefully.

Optional: Decorate your snowflake with glitter or glitter glue.
Glue your snowflake onto a folded piece of construction paper for a great winter card. Or tape them to your windows at home.
Simple but fun!
