DIY: 3d Snowflake

 What you need: Square paper (in this case I used 12x12 cardstock paper. Stapler/Tape (or hot glue gun) and scissors! 
Fold into a triangle (make sure all your edges line up!)



Fold another triangle, now Cut on the long edge where it is not connected. cut 3 strips, barely to the edge.




Should look like this once you are done cutting


Fold out the paper! 

roll the center triangle to the middle and tape

do the same thing with the other side

 take inner strip and tape the 2 sides together
 flip over, and tape middle strips together.
 Flip over again, tape the last remaining edges together. Do this 4 more times.
 Staple 1st 3 "snowflake arms" together.
 this is how the edges should line up before you staple! 

 Staple arms together, 
 This is what the top of your snowflake will look like! you are almost done!!!
Staple 4th and 5th arms to the 1st 3. on alternate sides, and then staple arms together.  

V
Voila! you are done!
hole punch the top, grab some ribbon and hang your awesome new snowflake up!
