How to make a paper snowflake

For this you need:

Paper regular or origami Scissors

There are 2 ways to make a paper snowflake an easier way or a harder way

We start with the easier way

Step 1: fold the paper from the short edge to the long edge (if you have origami paper skip this step)

Step 2: cut off excess paper (you can skip this step if you have origami paper)

Step 3: Fold it in half

Step 4: then fold it in half again.

Step 5: get out your trusty scissors and cut shapes into the sides( you can do any shapes but I like to do triangles, you can also draw out your design first)

Then you unfold and voila

Now for the harder snowflake

Step 1: follow steps 1-3 of the easier snowflake guide

Step 2: Fold it 3 quarters of the way

Step 3: then flip it over and repeat step 2

Step 4: then once again get out your trusty scissors and chop of the bottom

Step 5: draw out your design, (you can use your own or use mine

Step 6: Get out your scissors again and cut out the design

Then you unfold and voila

Here are some snowflakes the other reporters made
