3-D snowflake of awesomeness NO GLUE REQUIRED

in this instructable, you will learn how to make an awesome , third dimension (not simple cut out) snowflake!
items needed:
1. six squared of up to three different colors(you can make the square as i will show you how to)
2. scissors/x-acto knife with self healing cutting board
3. tape (double sided works well if you know how to use it)
4. stapler and staples
5. ruler

Step 1 Make the squares of paper

first, fold the paper so that it has a trapezoidal shape, and the top edge meets the side edge so that the corner is a fine point. then, cut along the rectangle that is formed, and discard it. keep the triangle. unfold the triangle. you can either do all of the sheets at once, or one at a time. i did it one at a time.

These are so great - I used to different papers stuck together to get a really nice effect!

We made these out of plain white paper and then hung them with thread from the office ceiling. Inexpensive, simple to make and really gave the office a "Winter Wonderland" feeling.

It is awesome!
Switch the order of your first two pictures so that people see the snowflake first instead of the sheets of paper on the chair.

 saying no glue required, then using staples doesnt make too much sense, but other than that, GREAT INSTRUCTABLE AND COOL PROJECT

well...i meant to say that you don't have to wait for stuff to dry

its great for us impatient people who don't feel like burning fingers with hot glue(or glueing all fingers together with super glue)

im planning on making these with "foil" paper : D
