This is absolutely stunning! Totally worth trying....but is it still origami even if you have to cut the paper to form the hexagon?

[AdamsSara]

@deryer Well, sure! After all, you do have to cut a square before folding it, too, right? It's just more common to get precut squares than it is to get precut hexagons (although that, too, exists).

Thank you for posting this video. Originally i looked at the diagrams

and gave up after step 21. Your video spurred me on to finish it.

[AdamsSara]

@pmielke Hehe, I think step 21 made me pause and think for a moment, too. Great to hear this helped you complete the snowflake!

[AdamsSara]

@Uncharted3King As I noted in the video, I have a video that explains slowly how to cut a hexagon. No need to get impolite, just jump to that video, and then come back to this one.

YOU KNOW WHATS REALLY COOL!?!? I made 2 snowflakes then put the back sides of each together and interlocked the spokes at the ends; and made one amazing snowflake:D

I can't get past the first hard part. I've had 5 failures. My waste paper basket is getting full. I love the video and the snowflake on the video, though.

@SuperKrissy1999 yeah I made this without any problem

@deryer

If the shape you need is not a square or a rectangle, and you need to cut the paper into another shape (hexagon or any other) it is not calle origami, but KIRIGAMI (kiri = cut), so AmasSara is wrong when agreeing it is origami too.
