Make A 6 sided snowflake

Step 4 Fold into thirds

First fold one side over and then the other. Then you have to finagle with it to make the thirds even. When they are even crease them very well.

If you can find a protractor, you can get the folds just right by lining up the center of the protractor with the little fold mark in the middle, and then marking 60 and 120 degrees out on the edge of the protractor. The folds should run from the center fold mark, through one of the 60/120 marks, dividing your snowflake into equal 60 degree sections. This is a math activity I use with elementary students about this time of year when they're too excited to focus on paper/pencil math problems.

I use a plastic 30-60-90 triangle to make these "even thirds" folds. You can get them in the art, school, or office section of any store. Still have to "finagle" a bit, but quick and easy. Best!

whats finagle

It means fiddle with it a little bit. It can be hard to make them line up properly on your first try, so just keep adjusting it until they are even.
