Deck the halls! 3D snowflakes

 
 
This year, we're bringing them back, just in time for the holidays! Here's Meg's 3D paper snowflake craft, perfect for holiday parties.
 
Materials:
5 sheets of perfectly square paper
Scissors
Glue gun
Stapler

Instructions:
Fold paper to make a triangle. Fold the same triangle in half, so that it makes a smaller triangle. Cut a horizontal slit at the side of the triangle that doesn’t open. Make sure to leave about a centimeter of space at the end. Cut as many more slits across (spaced an inch apart from each other) that you can fit on the paper (should be about 5 or 6 cuts).
 
Unfold the triangle. Grab the two points in the center and fold them in towards each other and staple. Then, grab the next 2 points and fold them in towards each other the opposite way. Staple. Keep folding and stapling all matching points together (remember to alternate front and back). This is one arm of your snowflake. Repeat instructions to make 5 more arms. Once all 6 arms are made, staple points together.

In the Philippines, they make it out of bamboo and rice paper and hang it on their doors and smaller ones inside! :]

In my 7th grade class, we did a project on the Philippines, and for christmas, they hang these 'paper snowflake craft' you GL call, which is actually called PAROLS!! We decorated our classroom with it and won for the multi-culture contest for the best room plus door decorated and education-ly right! Smile

R these easy?

I had a friend who taught me how to make these way back in 3rd grade and I'm in 9th now. I taught my mom how this year and we made a giant one, it's nice to see this technique again. But don't you need 6 pieces of paper, not 5? Otherwise it looks like a star.

I looked this up on youtube and figured out how to do it. it turned out to be incredibly easy. last week while i was babysiting i made this with them to hang up on there christmas tree, they were pretty exited about the job that they had done

yah the instructions are kinda confusing when you are just reading them, but if you have a piece of paper in ur hands n ur doing it while ur reading the instructions, its a lot easier!! i just did one of the point things and now im about to do the other 5 so that i have made a whole one. its gonna look pretty!! its best if you use colored paper that is kinda shiny like in the picture.
