I’m going to share with you an easy way to create 3D snowflakes that can liven up any holiday décor.

What you’re going to need:

White paper

Scissors

Clear Tape

String

3D Snowflake hanging

To make the snowflakes:

  1. Start by folding a regular piece of white paper down from one corner until it meets the other side of the paper.

        2. Cut off the extra paper to create a square.

        3. Fold the paper diagonally in half again to create a triangle.

        4. With the scissors, start cutting parallel to the edge of the triangle with no folds. Cut       approximately 5 parallel lines, stopping each about ½ inch before reaching the inner fold.
