Let it snow....Let it snow....Let it

SNOW!!!

My 5th grader showed us how to make these easy snowflake. You need 6 square pieces of paper any size. Fold in have to make a large triangle. Then fold in half again. You end up with a medium triangle. Cut lines / stripes into the folded side that does not go all the way through. Open up the piece of paper. Bring the points of the cuts together making tunnels. Every other one on opposite sides. You end up with a three dimensional diamond. After doing all 6 connect the middle with a stapler. Fan them out into a circle. Connect all mid points of the diamonds with a stapler. Presto!! A fabulous rendition of a snowflake!!
I am a person who LOVES spring, but I am having a hard time taking down these beautiful snowflakes!!
