For all you snow lovers here's how to fold a simple origami snowflake from a hexagon, NO SCISSORS! but... you need to start with a hexagon of paper....
Here is the link to the tutorial showing how to fold a hexagon from a sheet of printer paper (A4 or letter size): youtu.be/COTvO-kBa5o. In this "How to Fold a Hexagon" tutorial I give you the choice of folding the extra paper away (pure origami) or cutting it off with scissors which perhaps isn't as pure, but keep in mind, even origami squares have to be cut out!

This model can also balance on the tip of a pencil and spin by blowing to the right or left of it.

Special for members I made a tutorial showing how to further fold this model into a Blooming Star Flower. For access to that video and all members content ($5/mo) here is the link:

For a more realistic snowflake, upon completion, get the model wet and then stick it in the freezer. 😊❄️There you have your snowflake!❄️😄
