Quick and Easy 3D Paper Snowflake
This is the easiest way to make beautiful 3D snowflakes. An accordion fold keeps things simple. Just fold, staple and cut!
Instructions
- Cut one piece of printer in half to make two equal pieces.
- Working with one of those pieces: make a 1 inch fold on the short end of the paper and continue to fold, accordion style, until you reach the top of the paper.
- Trim off any leftover paper that didn't make it into the final fold. You now have an "accordion".
- Fold this accordion in half and press to make crease.
- Flip it open and staple into the crease line.
- Cut your snowflake's design into one half of the accordion.
- Trace these cuts on to the other half of the accordion and cut them out.
- Dab glue on one half of the accordion and bring the opposite half over and press together.
- Gently unfold all the pleats in your snowflake and join the two open ends with a bit of glue.
