How to make 5-pointed paper snowflakes

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.

The simplest paper 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, then snip out small shapes ). The second and third flakes in this garland are based on a 5-pointed star. Download the 5-point folding directions right here. 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.

Clever Christmas Cards

Is it cool if we just text our Christmas cards yet? Or if not, can we at least move Christmas onto Facebook like we did with birthdays, and instead of having to write out "Merry Christmas" a hundred times we could just type "MC!" on all our friends' walls? Sure, we'd miss getting extremely clever Christmas cards like this one in the mail, but the mail is about to be canceled anyway. So keep an eye out for all the sincerest wishes we can fit into 140 characters when we tweet out our Christmas cards from the bathroom later today.
