To make a beautiful paper snowflake, you should stock up on ready-made templates for creating a pattern in advance. Of course, you can cut paper without using special patterns, but this method is only suitable for those who already have a certain experience and artistic taste. The process of making openwork snowflakes is quite simple, for this you need to fold a sheet of paper in half so that you get a triangle. We fold the resulting triangle two more times, after which we cut out the pattern using a pre-prepared template. This is applicable to create traditional hexagonal snowflakes.

To make a snowflake with eight corners, first fold a sheet of paper in half twice in a triangle, and then diagonally once more. Octagonal snowflakes look more elegant but are more difficult to cut due to more layers of paper.

Patterns for cutting paper snowflakes

Instead of plain white paper, you can use paper napkins, thin papyrus paper, foil, or old magazines. Beautiful openwork snowflakes on the walls and windows of the room will perfectly complement holiday decor. From light paper snowflakes, you can make a great garland or streamer with threads hanging down. You can also decorate with a homemade snowflake new year card or gift wrapping. Snowflakes made of a denser material will be the perfect decoration for a children's New Year's costume.

Greetings to all! Today is November 12, and there is still no snow in our city. What's the weather like for you? We are all already in anticipation of winter fun and the snow-white attire of nature. I really want to go outside and feel how slowly and gracefully snowflakes fall on you.

As a matter of fact, we will talk about them, about these white cut-out beauties! Probably, these fluffies are an indispensable attribute of decorating houses, streets, school and kindergarten premises in winter period time. There are different ways to make this craft. The main difference is the material from which it is made and the cutting methods. We will talk about how to make paper snowflakes using different schemes and cutting patterns.

Do not forget that such blanks can be used as crafts for the upcoming New Year. Ideas of interesting and beautiful things that you can do with your own hands, you can get ready for the holidays in advance.

You know, I want to advise you to introduce such a tradition in your family: to get together on cold evenings and create with the children, making and cutting out these simple designs, and then sticking them on the windows. And let passers-by envy your beauty!!

The easiest way to make a snowflake is to fold the sheet 5 times. We fold the first four times in half, and the fifth diagonally. From the resulting workpiece, cut out any patterns and unfold. Our New Year's beauty is ready!!

But it's very simple and not really interesting way. To complicate it, you can perform a tetrahedral version:

Or pentagonal:

Here is another simple and easy way cuts of our product:

And to make it even clearer to you, let's now take a step-by-step look at the manufacturing process:

• We will make snowflakes out of paper square shape. If you have a standard A4 sheet, then bring it to the desired shape. Now fold it so that you get a triangle. We cut off the excess part and get a perfect square.
• We add the square diagonally, we get a triangle.

• Fold the triangle to the far corners, getting another smaller triangle.
• We have a preparation. Apply any pattern on it and carefully cut it out.
• You just have to straighten ready product so as not to catch it and not tear it.

On a note!! This is the easiest way to make a snowflake. Here the result depends on the selected pattern. The more complex the pattern, the more unusual and interesting the result will be.

Beautiful do-it-yourself snowflakes (we make from paper)

I would also like to note that the more complex the decoration pattern, the more difficult it will be for you to cut it out, so calculate your strength.

For you, one more photo instruction for making New Year's crafts:

• Make a diagonal fold. If you don't have square sheet, then do not forget to cut off the excess part. Next, fold the workpiece diagonally again.
• The widest part of the triangle, that is, its base, is divided into 3 equal segments. We bend one corner so that the edge ends at the level of the mark. It will be below the base, but strictly below the mark. Now fold the second part and cut off the uneven ends.
• Draw or cut out a snowflake right away.

I think, in general, you already have an idea of ​​​​how to carry out these simple designs and there should no longer be any difficulties in their manufacture. For you, there is another video story on our topic, and we move on to more complex options.

Volumetric snowflake. Cutting templates

To make a three-dimensional structure, you need to master the techniques of kirigami and quilling. Let's take a closer look at these two methods.

• Kirigami paper snowflake

We will need: bright colored paper (the reverse side should be white or colored); scissors; pencil with ruler.

Manufacturing process:

1. Cut out a square from colored paper of any size.

2. Fold it four times to make the part a quarter.

3. We make a diagonal fold.

4. Cut off the beveled corner from above.

5. Cut out symmetrical triangles at the outer side of the figure.

6. With scissors from bottom to top, we make two cuts on both sides of the sharp corner, as well as one more cut on the right or left.

7. Unfold the paper and gently smooth it out.

8. Now arbitrarily bend the formed corners up or down.

9. Having folded all the corners, iron the craft with an iron.

10. When you place the product, then turn it as desired with the front or wrong side towards you.

When you are familiar with this technique, I offer you templates of more original types:

• like this for example

• or such

• maybe you will like this option

• Snowflake in quilling technique

And this is a very painstaking work, but the result is the envy of everyone. Although, if you figure it out, everything is done very simply.

• We take a regular sheet of paper and draw the same lines using a ruler with a pencil. Cut the sheet into strips.
• Take an awl and attach the edge of the paper strip to its end. Now we wind the strip on the tool.
• We glue the end of the strip to the resulting coil and remove the roll from the awl. Make another such coil, but lightly squeeze it with your fingers on one side. Make five more of these droplet coils.

• Take the first blank and glue six "droplets" to it.
• Again we roll six coils and squeeze with our fingers on both sides. Glue new details between the snowflake petals.
• Take three strips and bend them in half, then cut them. You should have six short strips. Of these, twist six coils. Glue a new coil to each end of the part.
• From long strips we make six more coils, only slightly larger than the first. To do this, do not tighten the paper too much. Glue them on top between small rolls.
• You need to make six more large coils and bend their sides with your fingers so that you get a square. We glue them with the top to large coils.
• Take a pencil and wind it around paper strip, glue the end of the strip and remove the coil. We glue this part to one of the tops of the snowflake and thread a ribbon or rope into the ring.

Here is a diagram of how you can still glue the parts:

• And you can also make such a three-dimensional 3D figure.

We will need: paper, scissors and a clerical knife; scotch; glue; stapler.

Cooking process:

1. Make six identical squares out of paper.

2. Bend each square diagonally and make 3 cuts to the middle on both sides. The cuts should not touch, leave 0.5-1 cm between them.

3. Unfold the sheet and lay it so that the uncut edges are vertical. From the inside, you need to twist the two nearest edges into a tube. Glue with glue or tape.

4. Expand the workpiece and connect the next two strips. Again, turn the part over and connect the 3rd row of strips. Glue the last strips too, turning the workpiece upside down.

5. We do the same with six squares. Then fasten them in three elements, deployed in one direction. Then we fix both parts into a three-dimensional figure.

6. If necessary, fix the sides of the product with a stapler or glue.

And another master class on making winter beauties:

How to make a DIY 3-D snowflake

Modern technology has also reached such a seemingly simple task as creating a snowflake. As the name implies, 3-D snowflakes are a more complex, but very effective technique, due to which the made decor is distinguished by a special elegance of lines and rather unusual shapes.

What may be needed to make a snowflake with a 3D effect?

Prepare a square sheet of paper of the desired color, a pencil and a ruler, scissors or a sharp paper knife, glue. The work of making 3-D snowflakes is very painstaking and requires a lot of patience.

The first step is to draw a sheet of paper into squares. We need 6 identical squares. Then such a scheme is applied. It can be printed.

Fold the square in half diagonally, transfer the diagram as shown in the figure. Fold in half again.

The next step is cutting parallel lines. The incisions must be made in such a way that they are directed towards each other, but do not converge to the end.

We connect and glue the corners of the first small square.

Then turn over and glue the corners of the next square.

And so on in order, until all the corners are glued together.

To make the snowflake voluminous, you need to very carefully glue the corners of all the squares. As a result, six snowflakes are obtained, which, gluing together, form a three-dimensional 3-D figure.

We connect the corners of all the blanks to each other.

In order for the figure to keep its shape and not fall apart, you need to additionally glue the sides of the snowflake.

That's all, our 3-D paper snowflake is ready!

Coming up with various patterns, painting the figure with paints and even decorating with beads, you can not only create a very beautiful Christmas decoration but also to help develop the child's imagination and sense of style.
