What are 3D Paper Snowflakes?
3D Snowflakes are paper crafts that look a bit like real snowflakes with three-dimensional shapes. They are made by folding and cutting squares of paper into different patterns and then gluing them together to form a symmetrical design. They are easy to make and look amazing when hung from the ceiling or in front of a window.
