We started taking a square sheet.

Now is the time to choose the color, although the typical white to most people like snowflakes hanging blue, pink or yellow. 

Fold the sheet in half pushing to get the two sides will attach by completely.

 The next step is to re-fold the sheet in half.
The folds have to be as accurate as possible to get a full radial symmetry.

Now the crease will be for the vertical blade.

Dótate of scissors as the last steps you make use of them.

Let's make the snowflake more spherical as possible, taking into account its composition from doing crystal round cut. However, each person can use the technique they consider most appropriate.
This requires forming an isosceles triangle (triangle with two equal sides).

In the picture to the left is an orientation of what is intended: to cut the line perpendicular to the bisector of the vertex A. 

Make the cut.

At this time you will know because they asked not to use thick sheets. The implementation of various folds on itself creates a layer thick enough to cut costs a little with scissors. 

And the last step: the most fun and creative.

You can make all the cuts you want on this triangle. You can rip the sides, and even the base vertex.

Performs various tests on different snowflakes and see the endless combinations. 

Displays the triangle to fully extend the blade and you will be ready this paper snowflake.

With flakes of various sizes can decorate the windows hooking them with tape.

Christmas decorations easy, cheap and own.
