Here is your newest party trick — cutting a snowman paper snowflake! Perfect for holiday decorating, winter decor, and just simply surprising someone with your newfound skill.

How to cut out a ghost, bat, and pumpkin paper snowflake from origami paper.

If you’d like to learn (or teach!) more about paper snowflakes, I created a 30-minute lesson that covers everything I usually present if I’m visiting a school group.

In this video, I read my book, show how to fold a snowflake, talk about symmetry & positive/negative space, give some tips, and play a "guess that snowflake" game. Feel free to share!

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to fold and cut my paper snowflake patterns that are available in my shop!

When I learned how to make paper snowflakes as a child, I was taught to make snowflakes with 4 points. This method is easier for little hands to fold and cut. As I got older and practiced my folding, I learned how to fold to make 6-point snowflakes (the way they appear in nature!)

In this video, I’ll go through both folding methods and show you the difference in how your snowflake turns out!
