Geek Snowflake Roundup

It's the Christmas Season and every year I intend to completely deck our house out with fantastic paper snowflakes. For whatever reason I never seem to get it done. However I've rounded up as many geeky snowflakes as I could find and posted them here. Just in case you needed a little inspiration for your own holiday decorating.

Start here for basic instructions for paper snowflakes Creek Line House.

Movies and TV

Star Wars

This collection from Matters of Grey includes 33 Star War themed flakes.


Anthony Herrera Designs has released a new set of snowflakes every year for the last several years. Each set contains templates for 6-7 designs.


The site also has templates for Guardians of the Galaxy.


Star Trek

Wings on Water posted pictures of several Star Trek snowflakes, unfortunately templates are not included. That being said with the inspiration you should be able to create a templated or design of your own.

There is a template available for this Enterprise snowflake featured on Buzzfeed.

The Anti-Craft also has templates for several designs including this Sonic Screwdriver Flake.

My favorite in this entire post is this Firefly snowflake found on Geek with Curves. I would like to see more Firefly based designs out there... Maybe that's something I'll have to work on for next year?

Hope you enjoyed the designs I found. Please feel free to add links to others you may know of in the comments sections. I'd really like to see some Dungeons and Dragons or other RPG type snowflakes. That's another set that I could work on for later. Dragons or maybe polyhedral dice designs.

Update 12/23/2015 Wizards of the Coast created snowflake templates! Including one for a gelatinous cube which is hilarious and awesome. You can download them here. Scroll down to see a few I just made.

  1. I just saw this from Dungeons and Dragons... http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/dd-snowflakes. No pictures of the completed flakes but templates for snowflakes using DnD monsters including owlbears and beholders!
