Pleated Snowflake Fan Instructions (below)
Your pleated snowflake probably won't look exactly like their thumbnail pictures because the thumbnail pictures are computer generated guesses based upon the unfolded designs.
- print several identical (or different) pattern so that you'll have pieces equal distances.
- Fold the pleats together along the dotted lines and cut out the design (gray areas) on either side of the fold. Take care while cutting that you leave some folded edges intact so your design will stay together
- Once you get the hang of this, you will soon be able to create your own designs or make variations to ours to form different snowflake fans.
- Staple the center of the pleated snowflake paper crosswise in the center then fan out the snowflake pattern. Tape or past the ends together.
- Make tons of snowflake fans and string together to form a garland snowflake chain. Experiment! Use different colors of paper, after all paper snowflakes don't have to be white!
- Use Decorative Edge Scissors such as Craft Scissors to give your snowflake fan extra pizzaz!
