Step-by-Step Summary:

  1. Fold the Paper: Take a piece of paper and fold it side-by-side to form a long, accordion-style strip. [00:00]
  2. Crease the Strip: Fold the entire strip in half at the center. Crease the folded sides. [00:08]
  3. Cut the Shape: While the strip is folded, cut a sharp angle at the edge. Then, cut small triangle shapes along the folded side of the strip. [00:15]
  4. Assemble the Snowflake: Unfold the strip slightly. Glue the individual pieces or inner folds together to connect the shape, forming one part of the 3D snowflake. [00:22]
  5. Complete the 3D Shape: Repeat the process with another paper strip and glue the two halves together to create the full, round 3D snowflake.
