paper snowflake

Scissors-made winter craft

A paper snowflake is a decorative cutout made by folding paper and cutting patterns into it, then unfolding to reveal a symmetrical design resembling a snowflake.

A common children's craft, especially around winter holidays: The classroom windows were covered with paper snowflakes.

The folding technique means each cut creates multiple identical shapes radiating from the center.
