3D Snowflakes!
By lizandbogartI hope this hasn't been posted already.
I am a teacher, and recently I saw these 3D snowflakes hanging up in another classroom. They are a lot of fun to make and not too difficult.
Materials
6 sheets of square paper
tape
stapler
scissors
Directions
Step 1: Take one sheet of paper, fold into a triangle by folding one corner down to the opposite corner.
Step 2: Fold triangle in half.
Step 3: Starting at the folded side, cuts slits almost up to the crease. For young children, you may want to draw lines for them to cut along.
Step 4: Open the triangle up so that you have a square again. Grab the two inner slits and connect to form a tube. Tape together.
Step 5: Flip over. Take the next two slits and connect to form a tube. Tape together.
Step 6: Flip over again. And continue to follow these same directions for all slits.
Step 7: Repeat using the rest of the paper.
Step 8: Put the ends of three pieces together. Staple. Also staple at the point where they connect to each other at the sides.
Step 9: Repeat for the other three pieces.
Step 10: Combine the two sections and staple together.
