omg a girl at school came into our class and showed us how to do dis i did it and it came out wonderfully now i think she got it from u!! Happy
P.S.you can use staples instead of glue it works just as well and u dont need to wait 4 it to dry Happy

the fold+cut+shape technique is called kirigami (the sister-art of origami).

your snowflake is truly amazing for how simple it is!

Beautiful and so easy! My daughter and I are making a bunch of these today during a no-school, snow day! Great winter decorations for the house! Right now we're just using scrap paper, but I can totally see using some nice 2-sided craft papers.

If anyone can give a better description on how to cut the triangles, please let me know. I followed the pics above, but, the cuts are all wrong and I can't get them to turn out right when the paper is unfolded!
Thanks for any adviceHappy

My brother and I just made one of these to hang instead of a wreath on our door. We didn't have glue so we used staples instead. >_<
It still came out very pretty though! Thanks for the great tutorial!

Hey! I used to make these when I was younger. In the Philippines, these are called "parols" and they can be pretty big with colored paper, glitter, ribbon, and many other things that make them even prettier.

I love the snowflake but I need to know how I can print the step by step as I won't always have my computer to use when I want to make it. Is there a way to print it? How do I cut and keep it?

My friends and I made a bunch of these for our Spanish teacher today Happy He just had double bypass surgery and won't be back until after Christmas break, so we wanted to send along something pretty to make him feel better Happy

My suggestion is to use paper clips to hold the two sides when you're gluing them together. It minimizes the chance that they'll pull apart while your cutting out another point or something.
