    Kids' Christmas break is just around the corner and I have the perfect project for them to do alone or as a family. These Easy 3D Paper Snowflakes are so much fun to make not only for kids but adults enjoy them as well.

    Three-dimensional paper snowflakes look magnificent hanging from the ceiling, trees, window, or door handles. White is the most basic look, but of course, they can be decorated in endless ways. One elegant and beautiful look is to add silver sparkles to white snowflakes and hanging them up at different heights from the ceiling.

    One winter, my sister made up about 20 of them, in different sizes, and hung them over her desk area and in the patient rooms of the doctor's office, she worked in. She said that not only her patients but patients enjoyed them, but those who were not even her patients were stopping by her desk to admiring the beautiful snowflakes.

    Not only did it turn out to be a beautiful decoration, but a fantastic conversation starter. They're really a stunner when they're suspended from the ceiling and swirl around.

    Supplies You'll Need to Make the 3D Paper Snowflake

    • White copy paper or construction paper
    • Scissors
    • Glue stick
    • Tape
    • Hole puncher
    • Ornament strings

    Folding the 3D Snowflake Instructions

    You will need 6 pieces of paper for a 22-inch diameter snowflake.

    Fold and cut a square from the 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of paper. Then fold the square into a triangle by folding in half once and then fold the formed triangle in half again to form a smaller triangle.

    Cutting out the 3D Snowflake Instructions

    Cut four slits in the triangle starting at the hypotenuse edge. Make sure the folded edge remains uncut. Keep about the same distance between each cut.

    How to make the 3D Paper Snowflake Pedals

    Unfold the cut into a strip triangle. Smear some glue on one edge of the small square. Fold one of the top corners of the paper strip over until the edges line up. Press and hold for the glue to dry out a bit.

    Then flip the snowflake petal over and repeat the same steps by placing

    Continue turning the paper snowflake petal and joining the paper strips together on the opposite sides in the same process until all paper strips have been joined.

    Repeat the same steps with remaining 5 pieces of paper.

    3D Paper Snowflake Assembling Instructions

    Glue together one petal at a time and allow a few seconds for the glue to dry by keeping glued paper pinched together. I prefer using glue instead of stapler and tape because the snowflake looks more real with outshining tape and visible staples.

    Continue by repeating the same instructions attaching snowflake petal to petal.

    How to Attach an Ornament String onto Snowflake

    Attache a small amount of tape onto the tip of any snowflake petal. Punch a hole and tie the ornament string.
