6 Points

Have you ever noticed that most people make 8 pointed paper snowflakes?  But real snowflakes have 6 points.  This snowflake template will help you get the right folds to make a realistic looking paper snowflake.  Just cut off the instructions and fold the paper as shown.  Add your own imagination to create a truly unique snowflake.

Paper Snowflake Tips:

Thin paper is easier to cut when folded multiple times.  For adults there isn’t much of a difference but for kids there is.

A good sharp pair of scissors will also help make it easier for a child’s small hands but you’ll obviously want to supervise them closely.

It’s a good idea to take a look at some snowflake photos and get an idea of how the crystals are formed.  With a little imagination and attention to detail you can create some very authentic looking snowflakes from these templates.

Try decorating your Christmas tree with these paper snowflakes this year.

Try cutting lots of paper snowflakes from 1 to 3 inches in diameter.  Use these to drop from the ceiling at New Years Eve parties or weddings for a magical winter effect.
