How to...make random snowflake-y things

Hey, hello guys and today I shall be helping you to make snowflakes. This is something that I do regularly during stressful periods and whilst watching tv shows.
These are NOT like the ones you made when you were five...these are infinatley cooler :D

Step One: Choose coloured paper of your choice, square or recantgular, it is your choice

Step Two: Fold coloured paper as many times as you want, they can be diagonally or in a criss cross pattern, or even if you know origami, the sqaure base fold. The more random the fold, the more epic the end product.

Step Three: Take your scissors and cut random shapes into your folded shape. Bare in mind which folds are you binding ones and which corner is the main corner holding it all together, if you cut these off then the whole thing will fall to pieces. Shapes that go well together are spikes and curves, semi circles are a bit predictable, but depending on what look you are going for it doesn't matter.

Step Four: carefully, and I mean CAREFULLY, pull out the snowflake shape, if you do it too vigorously you are likely to rip a part of it.

I know it sounds silly making these, however they really do recapture the fun of being a child again and to show you they can look epic, here are some I made earlier :)

If you ever find yourself with nothing to do, these can be just one thing to fill the void.

Hope everyone's week is going well, also for the Doctor Who fans, here's a picture of Arthur Darvill aka Rory Williams from last Sunday's performance of Dr Faustus and yes, I was that close to him for 3 hours :D
