Origami Snowflake Printable Instructions

This beautiful origami snowflake was designed by Shuzo Fujimoto, one of the most influential origami masters from Japan. It’s folded from a hexagon, and while it might seem intricate at first, it’s totally doable for beginners with a bit of folding experience. The most delicate part is getting a clean hexagon, but don’t worry, we show you how to make one from either rectangular paper or square paper in our tutorials. Try it with white, translucent, or duo-colored paper to highlight its elegant symmetry. Take your time with the folds and enjoy the process. It’s a great project for slowing down and focusing.
