Description

For this year's Christmas, we organized an ornament gift exchange between family and cousins and for my gift I crafted these paper snowflakes (plus instructions for how to fold them).

Clockwise from top left:

1 - A full-page snowflake, with alternating designs between petals.

2,3 - Two half-page snowflakes.

4,5,6,7 - A set of quarter-page snowflakes.

#3 and #6 are probably my personal favorites. #5 is a close second, except I forgot to leave an attachment point in the center so it turned out extremely fragile (just like real snow, I guess?) but also contours out a nice crystal in negative space.

All snowflakes are shown approximately to scale.
