Have you ever seen a magnified version of a snowflake? There are so pretty that it is difficult to believe that each of the snowflakes have a distinct pattern all their own and that too naturally. They form a delicate pattern, which may remind you of the kind of patterns that are formed when you look through a kaleidoscope, a small toy made cleverly using mirrors. If you have not seen one, we suggest that you google it to see what we mean. However, we are not going to be talking about the kind of designs one can see via the kaleidoscope but the formations that icy crystals have as they fall down the skies in the form of snowflakes. Since paper is an easy medium in terms of finding the raw material and working with, it makes sense to use paper to make snowflakes. After all, we are all used to making attractive ornaments from paper during the festive season and for other occasions. Plus, the advantage here is that you can use simple and plain paper to emulate the pristine look that snowflakes have.
