Hello, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf on Expert Village I'm gonna show you today how to make
some paper snowflakes. In getting our paper ready, this is like the first I mean the most
important thing you are going to do. If the paper gets goofed up then your snowflakes
are going to have problems lots and lots of problems. So, the first thing to realize is
if you are starting to use your like normal 8 1/2 by 11 paper, there is a problem. You
want to actually have your piece of paper be square like. That means all four sides
are the exact same length. So, what I recommend doing is you know with an 8 1/2 by 11 this
side is 8 1/2 by 11 this side is 11 basically cut across and make all four sides about 8
1/2. You're already gonna have two sides are gonna be done because the paper is that way
anyway and your basically just gonna shorten. I'm just gonna crunch down a little bit. Then
this gonna be make a perfect square which is going to help because paper snowflakes
are all about symmetry. They're all about you know having like the exact same you know
measurements in sizes and also ultimately shapes cut out on all around the sides. With
a rectangle you don't get that with a square piece of paper you do.
