Hello, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm gonna show you today how
to make some paper snowflakes. There is a definite symmetry to cutting and understanding
that point is very important before you even start using the scissors hacking into your
paper. So, we're basically gonna go over the triangle we have creating and kind of understanding
the different corners and edges of it. And kind of the different areas you gonna focus
on to get different effects on your paper snowflakes. So, let's basically turn to our
folded triangle of paper now. And which should be already to go, sitting here waiting to
be cut. And there will be different size of it. First off there will be the longest side
of the triangle which a for you who remember High School geometry, that is the hypotenuse
side of your triangle. Anyway, you are not gonna be cutting along this so much if at
all, general I do not suggest cutting on the longest side. You can, you can but, often
times it seems like the most mistakes seem to happen on this side. The side that you're
gonna want to focus on. The side which is most important is the side that is just the
fold. There's note, you can't unfold it, there's no peel to it, it's just, it's the paper folded
over. This is the heart, this is the inside of your snowflake. If you can imagine it,
in basically several more quadrants, three more quadrants to form your snowflake. This
is the core of it, up here on your other side where you can see the folding, this is gonna
be the outside of allot of your snowflake. So, I mean anything, if you'd like want this
to be largely gone or anything like that, definitely you are going to be hacking a lot
up here as well.
