SUPPLIES NEEDED
- Paper (preferably thin or lightweight paper)
- Scissors
- Protractor (optional)
STEPS
1. Make a paper square.
Start out with a square piece of paper, preferably thin or lightweight paper. You can use square origami paper or follow these easy steps for making a square from any rectangular piece of paper.
4. Divide the triangle into 3 sections.
The most crucial and perhaps the trickiest step in making a paper snowflake is dividing the triangle into three equal sections. The most accurate way to do this is to use a protractor to divide the angle at the triangle's apex (the corner opposite the longest side) into three sections, each with a 30-degree angle. If you don't have a protractor, you can estimate the size of the sections as you do Steps 5 and 6.
9. Cut random shapes.
While keeping the wedge folded, cut out random shapes out of the edges.
