3D Paper Snowflakes Instructions

Step 1: Lay out the construction papers on a flat surface. One 3D paper snowflakes will require 5 construction papers. You can either choose to use one color for the entire paper craft or mix and match colors for a more vibrant piece.

Step 2: Get 1 construction paper and start with a square piece. Fold the construction paper in half diagonally to form a triangle. Then, cut off the edge afterwards.

Step 3: Lay out the triangle on a flat surface and fold again in half.

Step 4: Make parallel cuts. Ensure that the open edges of the triangle are along the bottom part. Then, starting from the folded side, make 7 parallel cuts stopping a little bit before reaching the opposite edge.

Step 5: Unfold the construction paper. You should now have a series of V-shaped cuts on both sides.

Step 6: Fix together the smallest V-shaped cuts opposite each other and secure with clear tape. Then, flip the construction paper over, and repeat the process this time with the second smallest V-shaped cuts. Continue the flip and tape process until all V-shaped cuts are paired up.

Step 7: Repeat STEPS 2 to 6 for the remaining 4 construction papers.

Step 8: Bring together all 5 pieces prepared and formed construction paper. Use a stapler to secure the outermost points and center points as well.

Step 9: Stick your chosen printable logo, design and/or phrase on the middle portion of the 3D paper snowflakes.

Step 10: Attach a ribbon and hang this winter crafts for kids.
