OK, last one, I promise. I’ve been playing with the toy all afternoon, and [this](http://snowflakes.lookandfeel.com/viewflake.php?id=764738) one just spoke to me. It seems like it should be cut out of brass or something, ---

So, I’ve tried to follow the folding of the paper in the animation, to make my own real paper snowflake, and I just can’t seem to follow… Who knows how to do it and can give the origamically-challenged some step-by-step instructions? ---
