There are a few things you need to do in order to make a snowflake in Illustrator. First, create a new layer on the canvas and name it “Snowflake.” Next, select the “Shape” tool and click on the ellipse tool. Next, drag the ellipse tool around the top of the snowflake’s center until you’ve created a nice, round shape. Finally, use the “Color” tool to add some basic colors to your snowflake.
