How to Make Paper Snowflakes

December 19, 2013 by AllFreeKidsCrafts

Making paper snowflakes has always been one of my favorite winter activities, but I was absolutely obsessed with paper snowflakes as a child. When I first learned how to make a paper snowflake, I just couldn’t stop. My kitchen table has been no stranger to paper scraps and multicolored scissors over the years, and now that winter is finally here, I had to share my love for these snowy paper creations.

This kid-friendly guide will teach you everything you need to know, from learning how to make paper snowflakes to tackling tricky paper snowflake designs. Just because these winter crafts are perfect for kids doesn’t mean adults can’t make them, too. Making paper snowflakes has no age limit!

Start with the Basics

This paper snowflake tutorial from FaveCrafts will teach you the basic paper snowflake pattern, so start here!

  1. Fold a square piece of paper in half diagonally to form a triangle.
  2. Fold in half again.
  3. Fold the triangle into thirds, folding each side towards the center.
  4. Cut a straight line across the bottom.
  5. Cut pieces out of all three sides in random patterns.
  6. Open to see your finished snowflake.

Once you’ve mastered these six steps, you can move on to the paper snowflake patterns below!
