I bet you remember doing this as a kid. I really like the red paper, and they look great used to spruce up a gift.Asheville crafts from Van Dyke Jewelry and Fine Craft 
Though no longer in elementary school, I still get a kick out of paper snowflakes. I made this snowflake garland the other night from origami paper, dental floss, and tape. Most snowflakes are based on 4- or 8-pointed stars (fold a square in half diagonally and keep halving it until it's nearly too thick to cut). The second and third flakes in this garland are based on a 5-pointed star. Download the 5-point folding directions right here. I hope these make sense! I think they're easier to cut since there are fewer paper layers.
Here's an 8-pointer. Unfolding is my favorite part; it's practically as thrilling as bungee jumping. To get them nice and flat, iron your snowflakes with the steam setting turned off.
