Make some cool snowflakes to decorate your house

Christmas wouldn't be the same without snowflakes, so why not have a go at making some snowflake decorations. Just follow our instructions.

What you will need

Thick paper or thin card
Scissors
PVA glue
Glitter
Your imagination!
Ask an adult to help you as scissors are sharp!

Instructions

Step 1
Fold the paper into a triangle with the two edges of the paper.

Step 2
Trim off the extra paper to make a square.

Step 3
Fold and fold until you can fold no more - usually two or three times.

Step 4
Cut out the pattern for your snowflake. You can make as many different shapes and patterns as you want.

Step 5
Carefully unfold your snowflake! See if you like the pattern. If you don't, you can always do another one!

Step 6
If you want to, paint the snowflake or dab PVA glue onto it and sprinkle glitter over it to give it a sparkle.

Your snowflakes are now ready to go up in your windows. Use blu-tak to stick them up.

Or why not cut the snowflakes out of coloured card and then thread some cotton through the top to hang them on the Christmas tree?
