How do I make paper snowflakes?

1. Fold a square piece of paper diagonally in half, to make a triangle.


2. Fold it in half again, so the corners meet.


3. Fold your triangle into thirds, into the shape of a rocket.


4. Cut the two tail ends off your paper, so it’s a straight-bottomed triangle again.


5. Begin to cut the folded paper with different combinations of straight and curvy lines. Experiment with different sizes and shapes of cutouts, to make yours truly unique.


6. Unfold the paper to see your snowflake. Use blu tack to attach it to a window, or make a garland by sticking them next to each other along the wall.

You can even find snowflake templates online, to make things easier for your youngsters

For younger kids who are new to this, you can also get pre-made snowflake templates.

Most of them have black areas which you simply cut away, to reveal an artistic snowflake.

You can find the basics on websites like First Palette.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
