The most popular image of a snowflake has 6 points with different numbers of branches on the points. This popular image is a dendrite. However, this form of snowflake only accounts for a small portion of snow that falls. The shapes of flakes depend upon the temperature and barometric pressure of the cloud tops. Flakes can take upon the shapes of needles, plates, and columns. You can tell the temperature of the cloud top above you by picking up a handful of snow and looking at each shape. If you are going for design purpose, simple answer is six.

A snowflake always has six symmetric arms (along three symmetric axes), which arises from the hexagonal crystal structure of ordinary ice (known as ice Ih) along its 'basal' plane.

Six.
That means you have to fold your paper a special way in order to cut it out to make a six-sided snowflake.
