Shaping the petals is just a piece of cake. You only need to take one post-it note. Apply some glue to the sticky edge. Bring it and the opposite edge to the center so that it forms a cone.

Now you have a petal. Do the same thing to the other notes until you have 30 petals for each color. You might use 20 or 25 of them, but it is always nice to have some extras, right?

Take one origami paper. If you do not use it, you can use copy paper, then fold it diagonally and cut off the edge so that it turns into a square.

Fold the paper diagonally to get a triangle. Fold it again so that you get a smaller triangle. Make three cuts parallel to the open side (the opposite side of the fold). The cut closer to the edge should be the longest. But make sure you do not cut them off. Then, unfold the paper.

I know it may sound weird. A snowflake with petals? Well, they do look like the petals of a flower. Let’s get started!

Apply some glue onto the inner corner. Bring both sides together to the center and glue them together.

Flip the paper and bring the second corners together to the center and glue them together. Flip it again and repeat the steps for the third and the last corner. Make sure that the third and the last corners are rolled on the same side.

Now you get one petal. You need to make 6 petals to create a beautiful snowflake.

Step 3: Assembling All The Petals

Place the petals in a row and make them face the same direction. Take two of them and apply some glue to the joints and glue them together. Then, join them at one end to create the center of the snowflake. Repeat these steps to the remaining petals until you get a full circle.

For the finishing touch, add a loose thread to the snowflake so that you can hang it on your ceiling. Isn’t it wonderful?

Paper art for kids is not that arduous, isn’t it? It is extremely fun, instead. Now you can get your kids to explore their creativity. Craft is a really great activity to make your kids busy and improve their fine motoric skills. It can also help you bond with them. It is much better than letting them sit while playing video games.
