Paper snowflake patterns7/3/2023 It is helpful to draw a design on the wedge first with light pencil lines, then cut it out, especially if you want to make elegant paper snowflakes for winter and Christmas decorations. You can cut any shapes on this folded wedge ( just keep the shapes connected at places along the side edges) and be delighted as you open the paper into a big snowflake! Step 4: how to cut simple paper snowflakes If you want to make 8-pointed snowflakes, you would fold the small triangle in 1/4, instead of 1/3 at the apex point, and proceed to Step 4. Try to match all the edges as closely as possible. It’s quite easy, check out the video tutorial above if you are not sure about this step.įold the left section towards the front. You can use a protractor, or just estimate the size of the sections, which is what we did here. To make 6-pointed paper snowflakes, divide the small triangle into three equal sections at the 90 degree apex point (also the center of the square paper), each section has a 30-degree angle. You can create 6-pointed, 8-pointed, or 12-ponted snowflakes etc, just keep folding from the apex which is also the very center of the paper. Helpful tip: as we fold the triangle into smaller triangles / wedge shapes, we are dividing the square paper into equal parts through the center point. Fold the large triangle (from Step 1) in half to make a smaller triangle.
