Steps:

  1. To make your snowflake you will need a square sheet of paper. I used regular printer paper - folded over and cut like so.
  2. Valentine's Day Decorated Gift Bag - using white printer paper to make the snowflake, fold as shown
     
    Valentine's Day Decorated Gift Bag - cut off the excess
     
  3. Fold triangle in half.
  4. Valentine's Day Decorated Gift Bag - fold the triangle in half
     
  5. And in half again.
  6. Valentine's Day Decorated Gift Bag - and in half again

  7. On creased side (in my photo on the left side) is where you will cut your design.

  14. Valentine's Day Decorated Gift Bag - red and pink acrylic paint o a paper plate
     
    Valentine's Day Decorated Gift Bag - use a sponge to dab your paint onto the bag
