How do you make a paper snowflake?

[Edit]
Fold the paper snowflake in fours. Then you cut the edges and insides into any shape. Open the paper and the snowflake is exactly the same on each side!


A snowflake has six points. So you want to fold your paper in sixths, not fourths or eighths. Here is one way to do it - very simple: Snowflakes 1, below in the links. A slightly more complicated but also neater and more precise way is shown in Snowflakes 2. Snowflakes 3 is just a slightly different approach to the first method.

I always liked to make one more fold so I could get symmetrical arches across the one-sixth wedges by cutting little chunks out of the edges rather than making one big, long cut. This takes good scissors and some care because of the thickness of the paper. The results are much more spectacular, though.
