Step 1: Fold a square of paper in half to make a triangle. Step 2:
Fold in half again to make a smaller triangle. Put the long edge of
the triangle to the bottom, then fold the left point over to the centre
so the point is below the bottom edge. This makes a vertical line in

Petal snowflake
Step 1: Fold a square of paper in half to make a triangle. Fold in half again, and
again. Step 2: Make an arc-shaped cardboard template as shown on the website.
With the long edge of the triangle at the bottom and the folded edge on the left,
place the template on the triangle and draw around it. Step 3: Cut out the arc
shape. Then, from the right-hand corner of the arc, make 2 curved incisions along
the cutting lines shown on the website. Step 4: Unfold the paper. Step 5: Put a
blob of glue in the centre and fold the middle cut piece from each of the
4 ‘petals’ into the centre. Repeat the process with a second square of paper.
Step 6: Position one snowflake over the other at an angle so the petals
of one are visible through the gaps of the other. Glue the centres of the two
snowflakes together.
