It's Christmas! Day 9: Make Paper Snowflakes

It’s Christmas! is a 25 day blog and vlog segment that I’ll be doing this December to bring you crafts, reviews, and ideas to make your Christmas season even more fun this year (especially, with this pandemic thing we’re all trying to navigate).

Hopefully, my family can inspire yours to not let this crazy year ruin the holiday season for you.

Today, we have a simple craft that anyone can do. And it doesn’t require anything you don’t already have at home. We’re making paper snowflakes!

First, we’re going to gather our supplies. We’ll need plain white paper (cut into a square) and scissors. That’s it!

Now, if you’re not feeling very creative, do a quick google search to find a snowflake template to print out. We have a couple here that we’re going to do. Plus, we’re going to make some of our own as well.

Our first step is to fold our paper. There are a couple different ways to do this, but today, we’re going to fold our paper in half diagonally. Then, we’re going to fold it in half diagonally again. Now, we’re going to fold it into thirds. The last thing we need to do is snip off these top pieces to make it flat across the top.

Now it’s time to start cutting our design! You can literally do anything here. We looked up a couple designs for some and just went crazy with the rest. Here’s how they turned out:

So go get cutting! These are so much fun to make.

And as always, from my family to yours, Merry Christmas!
