Your pretty correct about that.
Here's how it happened, wanted to show the kids how to cut out a paper star a few years ago during Christmas season and I couldn't remember how to fold one for six points.
In grade school there was a vague memory of doing this but we probably only folded the paper square to make four points. I'm not sure anyone in my grade school could count to six.
So I Googled "paper snowflake" and found a step by step so good even I had a chance. Dad here was trying to pass on a "less than lethal" skill to his children, Mom might even be impressed.
Here is what I find that helps:
The toughest folds to get right are the last two so I have a paper master pattern to indicate in the folding points then make the folds holding the steel machinists rule over the line.
Use the hand roller to crease the fold better. The roller is usually for doing the seams on the stainless steel foil heat treat packages that knives go inside of when in the oven.
Then I re-sharpen an Exacto knife blade to make it a more acute edge than it comes from the factory and do the cutting on some Kydex left over from sheath making. A new Exacto blade would work just fine but use the larger handle for control.
In the mean time my kids could care less about all this because they have computers to play on.
