Great video! I never would have know how to fold it to make the flakes so pretty! I think I’ll have to check out the post for ideas on how to cut it. I bet if you added glitter to those or used shiny silver paper it would be even better!! Thanks! I love getting more inspiration!!

I know – I was really surprised to see that the trick is in the folding, not the cutting! Glitter is a great idea! And I think we have some, too – awesome! Thanks for the idea!
And thanks for the comment!
LOL Chris Gardner must have had the same 2nd grade teacher I did! I’ve been using this technique since grade school. You need to make sure you have sturdy scissors, cos the 60* fold makes an extra layer.
this is a awesome idea soon as im off the computer im going to try it.. I ama going to add to you design by using a adhesive and glitter to make them really sparkel.
Thanks for the tip Moondragon!! That’s funny you’ve been making them for so long!
That will be really pretty, Kathy!!
Wow, right now, I am on my fourth snowflake. This definitely beats just folding and half and cutting triangles.
