More than a dozen kids and their teacher at Dunbar High School in Fort Worth got themselves into the Guinness Book of World Records with an art project.

The teens managed to create the world's largest paper snowflake, measuring 58 feet across.

Dunbar High School art teacher Will West and his students folded and cut out designs into a gigantic sheet of paper to create this flake that they displayed on the gym floor at the school. They even cut the words "Fort Worth" and "Dunbar" into the flake.

The students broke a record set a year ago by students at Northern Illinois University. They had a paper flake just over 44 and a half feet in diameter.
