How to make the paper snowflakes:
You can make paper stars in any size you like. For this example, I am using a 10 x 10 cm square.
With a square of paper, fold in half from A to A to form a triangle.
Then fold again from B to B, and a third time from C to C.
Draw a shape on the folded paper, for cutting and cut.
Open up the cut triangle and discover your snowflake.

You can cut them from different papers, like metallic or kite paper. You can also apply a little bit of paper glue and add some glitter!
Thread a piece of golden thread to hang.
