Harry Potter Snowflake (with Printable Template!)
It’s January in Northern Minnesota. That means it’s time for cutting some paper snowflakes. This year I decided to create a Harry Potter themed snowflake!
Instructions:
1. Print out the pattern and cut out the square portion.
2. Fold your square in half diagonally, matching opposite corners. Fold your newly formed triangle in half 2 more times.
3. Cut out all gray or black shaded regions using scissors and an Xacto knife. (I find it easier to cut out the smaller areas 1st, with an Xacto knife.)
4. Unfold, hang up, and enjoy!

As you can tell from the images, my original pattern was a little different. I had initially included the Elder Wand, knowing it’d be difficult to cut out. Well… that held true, and it was just too thin to cut on a folded edge.
When cutting my snowflake I got a little zealous and ended up cutting off the snitch from the top of my potion bottle. I decided to switch the order of those 2 in the pattern, putting the snitch on top of the Hogwarts crest, to help prevent others from doing the same thing.
Have fun decorating your windows, walls, and/or work space!

Thanks Mandy 🙂
This is so cool!
Have fun making one!
Those are fantastic! Love them!
Woot! Thank you Nichole 🙂
Utterly brilliant!
Aw, thanks Kay!
This is adorable! I’ve never had the courage to try one of these more complicated snowflakes, but with this pattern I might just. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Give this one a try Rosa. I was actually surprised how easy it was to cut out …at least compared to the 2 from last year and a Star Wars one I’ve cut out before.
Awesome! I will definitely be trying this one to add to my collection. My coworkers are probably begging me not to add anymore nerdflakes to our work space.
One can never have too many nerdflakes hanging!
This is so awesome!! I would love to make this but gotta get better coordinated with a blade!
I would love it if you came to link up at our party:

It’s a link party and pin-up party, two parties in one! All posts will get pinned to our group pinterest board.
Haha. Safety first, right?!
Fun, thanks for sharing. I’ll check out the link-up!
I love this!
Thank you Natalie!
This is an awesome idea – I may have to print some off to do with my step daughter this weekend. She loves Harry Potter
Wonderful -hope you guys have fun!
Talk about a pain in the ass! First, I couldn’t get my exacto blade thru all the layers no matter how many times I went over and over it! And the shaded areas were just too tiny and intricate…I gave up I’m sorry to say. Good luck!
Sorry you had such difficulties. It does take patient and a sharp knife! Next time try using thinner paper, which will help with the cutting process.
Hi! Could I share this pattern (with credited & linked to you, ofcourse!) in our advent calendar? Our Finnish, non-profitable Harry Potter -fangroup have an advent calendar on Instagram. I have made some of my own snowflake patterns there, but I’d love to share your beautiful & easy pattern to the Finnish Potter-fans as well!
Hello! Yes, please go ahead and do so. Happy to share the Potter love. Happy holidays!

Thanks so much. I’m glad you found them both cute and simple to create yourself!
