How to cut a paper snowflake

Turning a humble piece of paper into a luxurious snowflake is surprisingly easy. All we need for the New Year's magic is paper, scissors, beautiful diagrams, a pencil, some free time and inspiration!

First, from a square sheet of paper, we fold the blank for the future snowflake, as shown in the picture below. Using different schemes, hundreds, if not thousands, of snowflakes of the most unpredictable shapes and patterns can be cut from such a triangular base.

With a simple pencil, we transfer the drawings according to the diagrams to the base and cut out snowflakes from paper.

How to make a paper snowflake

Making a voluminous snowflake out of paper is not much more difficult than ordinary paper, but it looks much more spectacular. With these amazing 3D snowflakes, you can decorate a Christmas tree or simply hang them in a room to create a New Year's atmosphere. Six square sheets of paper, scissors, glue, a stapler, 15 minutes of free time and a little inspiration - that's probably all we need to assemble a beautiful 3D snowflake for the New Year. If desired, the snowflake can be made multi-colored by making individual elements from colored paper. Until you fill your hand, practice on plain white paper, especially since snow-white classics are always relevant in New Year's decor.

1. First of all, we make six such blank squares for the future snowflake. To do this, you can download and print blanks for a small or large snowflake on a printer. In order for a large snowflake to keep its shape, it is advisable to use high-density paper. We fold each square in half diagonally and make cuts with scissors, moving from the fold to the center line.

We open the diagonally folded square with cuts and put it in front of us as shown in the picture on the left. We twist the first row of strips with a tube and fasten them with glue.

We turn the snowflake over to the other side and take the next two strips: connect and fasten with glue. We continue in the same spirit: turn the snowflake over and fasten the remaining strips. As a result of the manipulations done, we should get such a bizarrely twisted element.

This is one of the rays of our future snowflake, and we need exactly six of these! Therefore, we do the same with the remaining five square blanks. We connect three rays of snowflakes in the middle with a stapler. We connect the remaining three rays in the same way. Now we connect the two large parts together.

Our beauty is almost ready! It remains only to connect the snowflake with glue in those places where the rays touch each other so that the snowflake keeps its shape well.

There is! Phew, done it! Well, aren't we great?! Now to make it colorful...

How to make a three-dimensional origami snowflake

The cult snowflake by Dennis Walker, with its sophistication and beauty, won more than one heart, and more than one amateur origami player was put into a stupor. What do you say, let's not let a piece of paper intimidate us? Or weak? If you decide to test your strength, pictures, step-by-step instructions and video tutorials from Sarah Adams will help you. Don't get lost! You will probably have to spend at least an hour on your first snowflake. Once you understand the principle of creating snowflakes, things will go faster. And one more nuance: the thinner the paper, the more elegant the snowflakes will turn out. Translucent translucent snowflakes will look great on the window. Well, you can train on ordinary office paper.

Before proceeding directly to the creation of a snowflake, we need to turn a square or rectangular piece of paper into a hexagon. This is one of the most crucial moments on which the success of the whole undertaking depends.

1. Fold the paper in half twice to get clear fold lines.

2. We add one corner with the top to the center. We bend the top valve to the edge. We now have two additional fold lines.

3. Again we bend the paper in half as shown in the left picture. To get the figure from the right image, we use two X marks as reference points and bend valve A along the dotted line.

4. Combining the red and blue lines, we bend valve B. The result of the manipulation should be a shape similar to a heart.

5. With scissors we cut off a part of the workpiece along the blue line, focusing on two X points as reference centers. For further work, we need only part A - the hexagon.

If you have any difficulties with the hexagon or have questions, look for answers and tips in the video:

6. We bend one of the sides of the hexagon to the center to get a fold line. We do the same with all six sides. Now inside our hexagon there are many fold lines forming small triangles.

7. Again we bend the edge of the hexagon to the center. Using the fold lines we made in the previous step, fold flap A to flap B like in the left image. Similarly, we add the other sides of the hexagon until we get a figure that resembles a pinwheel in shape. The last flap may cause you some confusion as it will be hidden under the fold. We pull it out so that we get 6 valves sticking out, as in the image on the right.

8. Lightly press your finger on the fold of each pocket to get something similar to the image in the center. Which of the valves will be on top, does not matter.

9. To make the fold lines for the next step, on each unfolded pocket, we bend two blue corners to the central part of the dotted line. The resulting figure should look like the right picture.

10. To open the fold lines, carefully unfold the folds we made in step 8. In each pocket, we combine the blue dot X with the red dot X. The fold lines obtained in the ninth step will help us with this. When we do this operation with all six pockets, our workpiece will look like in the picture on the right.

11. We turn the workpiece over and bend each corner of the hexagon to the center. Each adjacent fold should form a small flap. Let it stay on top, don't hide it under the fold. If you get a figure similar to the picture on the right, then you did everything right.

12. We press the fold line of each of the small flaps to form new fold lines necessary for the next step.

13. We turn out the folds that we made in step 11, hiding the flaps from the bottom.

14. We turn the workpiece over, turn each corner as far as possible from the center and bend it. We should get 12 valves - 6 small and 6 large.

15. Turning the workpiece over, you will see small valves between the two large valves. Each small valve is pushed forward. We should now have six diamonds.

16. For each half of the rhombus, pull the blue edge to the center of the rhombus and press the fold to the edge. As a result, we will get a figure, as in the picture on the right. It remains to repeat this action 12 times and our snowflake is ready!

How to make a kirigami snowflake out of paper

Kirigami is one of the types of origami, the main distinguishing feature of which is that in the process of making a model it is allowed to use scissors and cut paper. The method of cutting unusual kirigami snowflakes is not much different from making ordinary paper snowflakes, but they look much more creative and interesting. A small master class from the author of the blog “Share your smile” Nataliya k. will help us learn how to create this beauty with our own hands.

First of all, we make such a template, with which even a child can make the correct six-ray snowflake. To do this, on a sheet of paper with the help of a protractor, we build an angle of 60 degrees. Having folded a square sheet of paper diagonally in half, we impose the blank on the template as follows:

We bend the corners of the triangle as shown in the photo:

The lines of future cuts can be applied to the workpiece with a simple pencil, and then erased with an eraser, or you can attach a pre-prepared or printed template and cut it out. If the workpiece is folded in half again at this stage, it will be possible to use not a clerical knife, but ordinary nail scissors to cut a snowflake. In this case, even a child can be entrusted with the work.

Paper snowflakes: patterns for printing

Did you know that in nature there are simply no two identical snowflakes? So that in your New Year's decor there are also no twin snowflakes, and each one is unique and unlike other openwork sisters, do not get hung up on one template! Experiment! Try as many schemes as you can! How do you like these options?

Decorating your home for the holidays is not an easy task, but nothing is easier if you figure out how to make a snowflake out of paper - this decor looks attractive and has been relevant for many years. Moreover, you can make not just ordinary flat decorations, but also voluminous ones. By the way, they can be used in interior design, a festive table, or even decorate a Christmas tree with them.

Classic paper version

Traditional garlands made of paper leaves have been cut out for several generations, this is the most popular type of decor. It is best to get the whole family together and do this activity - so you can have a good time and make snowflakes with your own hands - with different designs.

Traditional decorations are obtained by folding the sheet six times - you can see the patterns of snowflakes. However, if you want to get a more sophisticated decor, you should not dwell on the classic options, it is quite possible to fold the leaf any number of times - so the snowflakes for the new year will turn out to be diverse.

What you need in order to make paper snowflakes yourself:

• paper - plain office white paper is suitable, as well as an album for children's creativity. Particularly dense varieties like watercolor should not be taken - such a blank will not be very easy to bend and cut.
• breadboard knife and stationery scissors - directly for cutting. If you plan to make paper snowflakes with your kids, make sure they have scissors with rounded ends.
• pencil and eraser - for marking and patterning on the workpiece.

Several ways to create

How to make a beautiful paper snowflake if you have never done it before? You can go through trial and error if you have enough time and enthusiasm. Fold the sheet in any way convenient for you, and then pick up scissors or a clerical knife.

This video shows 3 ways to fold paper to cut out snowflakes:

draw a pattern and cut it out correctly:

If you do not mind bending, then you can use nail scissors. First of all, you need to make a beautiful edge for your future snowflake - you can simply cut it with a smooth line, cut out ice crystals or even a few cloves. It all depends on your imagination.

Then you need to cut through the main decorative elements - they can be abstract or quite logical - for example, a Christmas tree pattern looks beautiful. After you cut out the main elements, add small ones - it’s more convenient to make them with a clerical knife (you can put the blank for this on a special paper cutting mat or on a pile of old newspapers or magazines - this will help save the table).

Then the workpiece needs to be smoothed out. A few attempts will help you navigate and decide on the design.

If you don’t understand how to fold paper, then you can use the simplest way - fold the paper sheet in half, then one more time - a diamond will come out. Fold it again to make a triangle - the corner where the most folds will be the central part, and the free sides - the edge. You can look at addition schemes to get elements with any number of rays.

A colored paper snowflake looks impressive - especially if it is double-sided colored paper with glitter effect. By the way, the finished snowflake can be decorated with decorative glitter glue.

Try to fold paper for a snowflake according to one of the patterns and cut something of your choice, and if you don’t like the result, you can always print a beautiful pattern and make snowflakes with your own hands from paper or a blank.

More volume

If you want to understand how to make a three-dimensional paper snowflake, then you first need to define the terms. Volumetric can be either an ordinary form, which was folded after cutting and fixed in such a way that it turns out to be corrugated, and a structure that is made of several elements.

The most spectacular look are beautiful huge snowflakes (larger than an A4 sheet), which are assembled from several fragments. Making a big snowflake without an assembly diagram is very difficult, you need to have good spatial thinking. To understand how to make each element and figure out how a three-dimensional structure is obtained from it, it is better to watch a short and understandable master class.

The best do-it-yourself voluminous foil and paper snowflakes are obtained when you follow inspiration and at the same time look at the working scheme of the assembly.

Do you want to figure out how to cut paper snowflakes with an unusual design in the form of Einstein's head or with symbols from the Game of Thrones? You will need snowflake templates to cut out - follow the instructions and you will get exactly the same result as in the image.

If you are confident in your own abilities, then you can try to draw your own stencils for cutting - first we fold the sheet as many times as necessary, then on one of the sides we draw a drawing of what should be the result and cut it out.

Such decorative elements can decorate an apartment or a Christmas tree, and they can also be used at a party - of course, if it is in the spirit of a popular fandom. However, you can go the other way and not print the finished design, but study the step-by-step master class and figure out how a folded triangle of paper turns into familiar symbols and faces.

Try cutting paper snowflakes using the cutout templates.

Unusual voluminous paper snowflakes can be made in another way - for example, using the quilling technique. You will need strips from which you will twist the spirals and glue them together.

Use a ready-made idea with a photo or video, or come up with something of your own. To make voluminous beautiful snowflakes from colored paper with your own hands - watch the step-by-step lessons and you will learn how to make unusual snowflakes from paper and colored foil looking at the cutting patterns.

However, if you like to cut, you have a good knife for paper cutting, then you can do fan snowflakes with your own hands. This is a complex structure with an interesting design, which is assembled from several layers - like a children's pyramid. Each layer is sheets of paper folded like a fan, on which fancy patterns are cut.

Here's what a large voluminous snowflake can be made from two sheets of paper folded like a fan:

A paper fan made in this way is glued with three or four of the same fans - this will be the largest circle. By the way, you can make it quite dense, without a large number of openwork elements, or take sheets of blue or blue color for manufacturing - subsequent layers will shine through and the product will really glow with blue light.

The next paper circle is also made from fans, but already smaller, you can change the depth of the fold and pick up an interesting pattern. This is how several layers are made in stages - do not do too much, 3-6 layers will be enough.

To make voluminous unique ones with your own hands, try using the quilling or origami technique in combination with the fan technique.

To assemble a snow globe, you will need a drawing - you can print it out or come up with it yourself based on the master class. All that is required for this product is to figure out how many elements you will assemble your ball from, and how you will fasten the elements together (the easiest way is to glue them), and then prepare a template for one such element.

Now you know how to cut New Year's snowflakes and can even bring a little winter decoration and comfort to your home even in the hottest summer.

How to make snowflakes with your own hands with children: volumetric snowflakes, accordion snowflakes, drawings of openwork paper snowflakes in pictures, snowflakes from paper strips using the quilling technique. We make crafts with children from 5 years and older.

Exactly one month later we will celebrate the New Year! And so today on the site "Native Path" I want to talk about my favorite snowflakes that you can make with your children.

How to make snowflakes with your own hands: a New Year's workshop for children and adults

Do-it-yourself voluminous snowflakes

(for children from 6-7 years old and adults)

Materials: double-sided colored paper or wrapping paper, stapler or stationery double-sided tape 10mm wide, scissors. For children, in addition - a ruler and a simple pencil.

Step 1. Cut out 6 identical squares. For a 24 cm snowflake, you need to take squares with a side of 10 cm. For a large snowflake, take squares with a side of 20 cm.

Step 2. Bend the square diagonally in half. Make cuts with scissors as shown in the photo and in the video. Make such cuts on all six squares. It is very important that the distance between the notches is the same!

Adults can make incisions without marking. Children must first draw lines of incisions with a simple pencil along the ruler, and then carry them out. Young children can be given pre-prepared parts with cut lines drawn on them.

Step 3. Making the snowflake beam. Bend the corners inward and glue them one to the other. Then turn the snowflake over to the other side (glued corners down) and glue the next pair of corners. Continue flipping the snowflake and pinning the corners together until the entire beam is complete.

It is convenient to fasten the corners on a large snowflake with a stapler, on a 24 cm snowflake - with double-sided tape. To do this, cut off a small piece of tape and attach it to one corner. Then remove the protective film from the adhesive tape and stick the second corner on the adhesive tape. The corners are fastened.

Step 4. When all 6 beams are completed, connect the three beams together by fastening them. Then connect together three other beams. Assemble the snowflake by joining the two halves together.

Step 5. Fasten the rays of the snowflake to each other at the points where they touch.

Step 6 Make a loop of thread and hang the finished snowflake.

In more detail, you can see the entire process of making a three-dimensional snowflake in this video.

How to make DIY jewelry:

snowflakes from "accordion" (for children from 5 years and older).

Materials and tools: double-sided colored paper, scissors, a stapler or stationery double-sided tape 1 cm wide, decorative elements to decorate the middle of the snowflake.

Step 1. Cut out a square from paper. Its side must be at least 15 cm, because. the smaller side will be difficult for toddlers to work with. Adults can also make miniature snowflakes and take a smaller square.

Fold the square "accordion". The width of the "accordion" is approximately 1 cm - 2 cm (depending on the size of the square).

If you want to make an openwork snowflake, then you need to make cutouts on the "accordion" - loops, hearts, circles, rhombuses, or any others you wish.

Step 2. Fasten the resulting "accordion" exactly in the middle. This can be done with a stapler or by stitching it with a needle and thread. Children will need adult help with this step.

Step 3 Expand the part. Get a "butterfly".

Step 4. Connect the "butterfly" in a semicircle, fastening the two sides with a stapler or tape.

Step 5 Prepare a second part of the same kind. Connect the two semicircles into a snowflake. In the middle of the snowflake, glue a decorative element or a small openwork white snowflake using double-sided tape. Tie a loop. Decoration is ready!

Snowflake drawings. Hexagonal and octagonal snowflakes.

Traditional snowflakes are hexagonal. There are two ways to fold paper when making them. They are shown in the two photos below.

Having prepared the blank for the snowflake in any of these two ways, we begin to cut out the pattern. It is important that in no case should you cut off the fold of the snowflake, otherwise it will fall apart!

It is very interesting to come up with new snowflakes and patterns on them. I don't usually look at a diagram, and kids love making their own snowflakes too. They wonder what will happen when such an incomprehensible preparation unfolds. And then - a miracle! - beauty comes out !!!

Here are some ideas for adults - snowflake patterns for cutting. These diagrams are not intended for children's creativity, but you can get new ideas and new elements from them! After all, very often we adults. we “go in cycles” on one pattern, on “favorite” frequently repeated elements. And so new ideas are always welcome!

When choosing a snowflake scheme, you need to pay attention to how many rays will be in the finished snowflake. And in accordance with this, and fold the paper. You already know how to fold paper to make a hexagonal snowflake. And how to fold the paper to make a snowflake of eight rays you will see in this children's video - the program "Extension".

If you will be making snowflakes with several children of different ages or with a group of children, then you can combine all the work into a single composition. It could be. for example, a mobile that has snowflakes attached to it. You can lay out the outline of a figure (for example, a Christmas tree) from snowflakes, or even lay out the silhouettes of New Year's figures from snowflakes. Here are some ideas for New Year's decorations.

Quilling - snowflakes.

Schemes and technology for adults and children.

Quilling (paper filigree, paper rolling) is the art of making compositions from twisted paper strips. Quilling has existed for many centuries, and now it is taking on a new birth. The name of quilling was given by its history - earlier, a goose quill was used to twist paper. In English, the pen sounds like quill, hence the word quilling - quilling.

Snowflakes made using the quilling technique are very durable, keep their shape well, they are convenient to store, and they will serve you for more than one year, delighting you and your children!

In this introductory video, kids will show you what you need for quilling and how to roll strips of paper the right way. You will also see how you can do without special quilling tools and how they can be replaced.

Did you like it and want to try it yourself? Then for you a detailed video on how to make snowflakes using the quilling technique.

And here are some examples of snowflakes using the quilling technique. I am sure that you and your children will come up with many of your own schemes! After all, just as completely different phrases are obtained from the letters of the alphabet, and various houses are obtained from the same bricks, so you can add up a huge number of different snowflakes from paper elements!

New Years is soon! It is called a magical, amazing and mysterious holiday. People are waiting for a miracle and a new happiness. But this holiday is accompanied by joyful worries, so all parents want to make a real holiday for their children. This time is associated with snow and flying snowflakes, which are very easy to make with your own hands. To create a New Year's atmosphere, paper snowflakes are suitable, which can be hung on windows, furniture and walls.

How to make a paper cut snowflake

To create a snowflake, you will need a thin sheet of paper (after all, you will have to bend and cut it often), scissors, a pencil, a diagram, and creative inspiration. To get a light snowflake, you can take a regular napkin.

• Fold the square sheet diagonally, fold the resulting triangle in half.
• Then fold again. The more paper folds, the more beautiful the snowflake will turn out.
• Such folding is necessary in order to draw a pattern on one side of the product. To do this, use a pencil to transfer the ornament from the diagram to be cut out. In the end, the snowflake acquires a beautiful pattern.

To create such a New Year's decoration, it is not necessary to adhere to certain patterns, the main thing in this matter is to trust your imagination.

How to make a paper snowflake

The appearance of a three-dimensional snowflake is much more spectacular than a regular one. However, it will take a little more effort to create it. New Year's 3D products look very nice in the room and on the Christmas tree, they will create a festive atmosphere. To do this, take 6 paper squares, glue scissors and a stapler. It is better to take multi-colored paper to create a three-dimensional snowflake.

• To begin with, take square sheets, fold each of them diagonally and make cuts in the form of triangles in the direction from the fold of the product to the center. For a large snowflake, it is better to use thick paper, because it will hold its shape.
• Open a square folded diagonally. Twist the first strips into a tube and fasten them with glue.
• Turn the product over to the other side and do the same with the next strips. Then turn over again and fasten the strips. Do this until the strips run out. Eventually get twisted an element that is a ray of a future snowflake. At the end, you should get six such rays.
• Take three rays and connect them with a stapler at the base. Do the same with the remaining rays.
• Then connect these 2 parts together.
• The final touch is the connection of the rays at the points of contact with glue. As a result, the snowflake will keep its shape.

How to make an openwork snowflake from strips of paper

• Cut twenty strips from a sheet of paper. They must be the same size.
• Lay out five strips at the same distance, then lay out five more strips in a cross. Using glue, connect at the points of contact.
• Then lay out five more strips diagonally, and also connect them with glue. Take the diagonal extreme strips and fasten them with a stapler with a central horizontal line. Similar actions must be performed with the second diagonal lines.
• Next, connect the extreme horizontal, as well as vertical stripes on the middle diagonal strip.

The result is a beautiful openwork Christmas decoration.

DIY snowflake accordion

• You will need 2 strips of paper of the same size.
• Make harmonicas out of them.
• Connect the assembled accordion in the middle with a stapler and cut out some kind of contour on both structures. This will be quite difficult to do, because there are too many layers of paper. It is better to use a stencil with which to draw an outline on two parts. You can cut without folding.
• Connect the two blanks in the center and unfold like a fan.

This decoration will look great on the Christmas tree.

how to make a simple snowflake

• Bend a square sheet diagonally.
• Then fold two more times.
• The result is a triangle, from the corners cut out shapes in the form of leaflets to the center. From their edge, make two more cuts with curly scissors.
• As a result, the product in expanded form will have four petals.
• Bend the second strips to the center and fasten them with glue. Do the same with all the petals.

In childhood, everyone cut out ordinary paper snowflakes, now many decorate their homes or offices with them. These original and unusual volumetric decorations will help create a festive mood.
