Christmas crafts - cool snowflake (10)

hi guys!
time to do some Christmas crafts!
this one is simple but extremely cool looking, for those who have read some of my stories will be glad to know that i have LOADS coming in the next three days, so keep listening!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------what you will need:
paper
scissors
tape / stapler
string / ribbon (optional)
punch-hole (optional)

1. fold your paper so that you get a perfect square, cut and keep extra paper (look below for pic)

2. fold two opposite corners to get a large triangle, then fold in half and cut

lines as directed below in pic. (NOTE: CUT ON THE FOLDED SIDE)

3. open up and start by folding he two cuts in the middle and tape.

4. FLIP OVER and do again but with the second cuts. (doesn't trap round? take off tape of the first and fold back up into quarters and make ALL the cuts longer and try again)

5. continue flipping & taping until all the cuts are done, it should look like this: (on a side angle)

6. repeat all steps 1-5 until you have 6. (TIP: make 3 one colour and the other three another to make it even cooler!)

7. tape together two of the bottom parts and do that for the rest so you now have narrowed it down to 3 parts, then those all together, punch a hole at the top of one flake (part of snowflake) and thread a piece of string (opitinal) and TA-DA! all done!

show me your snowflakes in the comments i'd love 2 see them!
