  • paper
  • scissors
  • tape
  • glue
  • staples
  • ruler
  1. Get all of your supplies together, the pattern I found said that you needed to tape and staple each part together but i used little dabs of glue. It takes a little longer but it is incredibly more durable!

  2. Step 2

    Measure six equal squares, i used 5 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches. Fold each of the 6 pieces of paper in half, diagonally. If paper doesn't match perfectly, just trim off excess

  3. Step 3

    Cut 3 lines each side of the triangle from the folded edge making sure not to cut through the unfolded paper edges. the lines should be parallel to each other with a space between them.

  4. Step 4

    Unfold your paper and turn it so that the diamond shape is facing you for working with. Roll the first two innermost paper lines together to form a tube. Put a dab of glue and hold until set.

  5. Step 5

    Turn the diamond over to the other side. Take the next two paper lines and pull them together on the opposite side of the tube and glue together as before.

  6. Step 6

    Keep turning the paper and joining the paper lines together till other sides are joined. Repeat this process with your other squares.

  7. Step 7

    Join 3 completed rolled pieces together at one end (draw together with your fingertips) and glue together using the other hand. Do the other 3 pieces the same way. You will now have 2 halves of snowflake arms.

  8. Step 8

    Glue the two new pieces together in the middle. You will almost have the snowflake shape by now. Glue where each of the 6 arms meet. This makes the snowflake have more of the snowflake shape.
