Start with a square sheet of paper
Fold the paper in half diagonally to make a triangle
Fold it in half again to make a smaller triangle
Fold the triangle into thirds or quarters so it forms a narrow wedge
Trim the top edge if needed so all layers are even
Cut small shapes along the folded edges
Cut notches, triangles, or curves for different snowflake patterns
Avoid cutting all the way through the folded sides
Unfold the paper carefully
Flatten the snowflake gently
Repeat with different folds and cuts for new designs
