First, you’ll need to cut your paper into a square: Take one corner of the paper and fold it diagonally so that it touches the opposite edge of the paper. Cut off the unfolded part of the paper so that you have just the folded square remaining. If you are cutting standard 8 1/2 x 11-inch paper to make it square, save the ends; you can make baby snowflakes with them or use the paper for notes.
Now that you have a perfect square, follow the instructions below to make a snowflake—and remember: no two snowflakes are exactly alike, so be creative!

I found a great way to make snow flakes. Use white tissue paper. You can fold and fold and it won't be hard to cut as paper is when it's folded a lot. They look fancy, light weight and just perfect for that dainty snow flake.
