Step 1
Cut circles of the same size from the paper of your choice.

Step 2
Fold the circle in half, keeping the fold at the bottom. Then fold it into three equal slices.

Draw out the pattern then cut out the areas that are shaded. Make sure you leave some unshaded areas across the folds or your snowflake will fall apart.

Attach the snowflakes together using thread or ribbon, and hang your mobile from the ceiling or in a window so that it spins and twinkles.
