    Wow that looks really cool, you could try cutting different patterns on the folds, also they could make cool christmas tree decorations. Gonna try this at the weekend…

    Thank you Zoooooooz- that makes more sense. that is how you get the flaps to roll.

    This is a fun craft, but the instructions are incomplete. In step 4, you make two cuts, parallel to the angled side of the triangle. Do not cut all the way through, of course! Stop cutting about 1/4″ from the edge. :)

    The outcome looks great, but a video tutorial or, like IrishEyes stated before, step by step pictures would be great.

    This would be a cool idea for Christmas to cause they look like snowflakes. Just make them with Christmas colors.

    It is pretty but I don’t have a clue what they are telling me to do. I need step by step pictures!
