How To Make Cut-Out Snowflakes: (10 Easy Steps)

Making Cut-Out Snowflakes is not hard math all you need is some dedication, this mentioned material, and to follow these steps:

Material:

  • Pencil
  • Paper
  • Protector(optional)
  • Scale

Steps:

  1. Begin with a square piece of paper, ideally one that is thin or easy to handle. Follow simple instructions to make a square from any rectangular piece of paper.
  2. To make a triangle, bend the square diagonally in half.
  3. Now it’s time to form a smaller triangle. So, bend the resulting triangle in half.
  4. The most important and possibly most difficult step when creating a paper snowflake is separating the triangle into three equal parts. The most efficient way is to use a protractor to split the angle at the triangle’s apex.
  5. Tip; You may not have a protractor; you can approximate the section sizes.
  6. Bend the left section to the front after you’ve characterized out 3 equal sections.
  7. Fold the right section towards the front in the same way. Flip the shape around so that the side with the horizontal edge faces forward.
  8. Make a wedge by cutting all along the horizontal edge.
  9. Cut out your desired shapes from the edges of the wedge while maintaining it folded.
  10. Unfold the paper cautiously to unveil your paper snowflake. Your paper snowflake, like actual snowflakes, has a 6-point or six-sided pattern.
