Fold a square piece of paper in half diagonally to make a triangle
Fold the triangle in half again to make a smaller triangle
Fold the triangle into thirds or in half to make a narrow wedge shape
Trim the top edge if needed so all layers line up neatly
Draw simple cut lines or shapes on the folded paper
Cut small triangles, curves, or notches along the edges
Avoid cutting all the way across the folded paper
Unfold the paper carefully
Flatten the snowflake gently
Adjust any uneven edges with small extra cuts
