How to make a snowflake (video)

How to make a voluminous snowflake

Paper of any color (preferably not too thin);
- scissors;
- stapler (you can use glue or tape);
- a simple pencil;
- ruler.

* If you want to make a small snowflake, then the side of each square can be 10 cm, and if large, then the whole 25 cm. For large snowflakes, it is better to use thick paper. For beginners, it is advisable to make the first snowflake small.

2. Using a ruler and pencil, mark 3 parallel lines. The distance between each line should be the same. When making a large snowflake, you can make more stripes.

* In the image, the lines are drawn with a red felt-tip pen to make it easier to see.

4. Turn the paper back into a square and start rolling the first row of strips into a tube (see picture).

* Strips can be fastened with a stapler or glue.

5. Turn the paper over to the other side and fasten the next two strips, also fastening them with a stapler, glue or tape.

6. Turn the snowflake over again and connect the last strips.

7. The same process must be repeated with the remaining five paper squares.

9. Staple both halves together, as well as all the places where the snowflakes touch. This way the snowflake will not lose its shape.

* You can hang your beautiful craft on a window, wall, or Christmas tree.

How to make a big snowflake from paper strips

You will need:

Thick paper of any color;
- scissors;
- glue.

1. Cut 12 strips of paper 1cm wide and 20cm long.

* You can slightly increase the size of the strips - width 1.5cm, length 30cm.

3. Add 2 more strips vertically and horizontally, intertwine them and attach them together.

* You can glue the halves in the middle so that the snowflake looks like a flower.

Making beautiful snowflakes from pasta

Pasta of various shapes;
- glue;
- acrylic paints;
- brush;
- decorations to taste (glitter, stickers, artificial snow (you can use sugar or salt instead), etc.);

* To make it easier, place the pasta on a large flat plate.

* To avoid staining the table with glue and paint, cover it with paper.

1. Before you start making a snowflake, you need to come up with a shape, i.e. what it will look like. At this stage, it is also worth considering what form will be durable and will not come apart.

2.1 Drain the inner circle of the snowflake first. After this, you need to leave the glue to dry and this small part of the snowflake to get stronger.

2.2 Start gluing the next circle.

* Using the same scheme, you can “build” several circles, but remember that the material is fragile, which means you shouldn’t get excited and make huge snowflakes.

2.3 After gluing, leave your snowflakes for a day.

3. Time to paint the snowflake. For this you can use acrylic paint. Spray paint may be the best option, but it is best to apply it outdoors rather than indoors.

* You should not use gouache - not only will it take longer to dry, but it may also crack if applied in a thick layer.

*If you're using acrylic paint, you'll also want to choose a brush that can get into all the crevices of the pasta.

* It is advisable to have several brushes of different sizes for convenience. If necessary, you can apply a second coat of paint.

4. Decorating a snowflake. You can use glitter or artificial snow, for example.

* Snowflakes do not dry quickly, so it is better not to rush to hang them on the Christmas tree immediately after making them. You can hang such snowflakes both on the Christmas tree and on the wall.

DIY New Year's snowflake 2019 - how to cut it out of paper, diagrams

The easiest and fastest way to make a New Year's snowflake with your own hands is to cut it out of paper, following the instructions of a ready-made diagram. The four-pointed product is considered the simplest, however, its production can be approached in an extraordinary, bright and imaginative way. To work, you will need medium-density colored sheets intended for printing. First, you will need to cut a square from a rectangle, fold it diagonally three times, and then apply the design you like to the workpiece and carefully cut it along the contour line with scissors. The whole effect of the work is that smooth, rounded shapes are harmoniously combined with thin, pointed rays, symbolizing tongues of flame.

For a five-pointed snowflake, the sheet will have to be folded not diagonally, but horizontally in half, then in half again along the long side and finally unbent. Then the lower left corner of the rectangle is connected to the middle of the upper edge of the workpiece, where there is already one fold. The lower oblique part bends upward and clearly aligns with the diagonal fold on the left side. Then the workpiece is turned over and the two-layer triangle is bent to the nearest edge. All that remains is to cut off the protruding excess with scissors, draw the desired pattern and cut it out figuratively along the pencil outline. If you want the snowflake to be more openwork and ornate, it is recommended to insert the scissors as deeply as possible without crossing the common middle base.

The six-pointed snowflake is one of the most popular homemade New Year's decorations and there is a wide variety of original and unusual patterns for it. The main blank for it is made according to the principle of origami snowflakes, then a design is applied on top and carefully cut out with scissors.

A seven-pointed snowflake is created according to the principle of a five-pointed one, only at the end the blank is folded one more time.

For an eight-pointed New Year's decoration, the folding pattern of a six-pointed snowflake is suitable, but before applying the design, the blank is folded in half again.

Beautiful snowflakes made of paper for the New Year 2018, master class in the photo:

Today we will talk about how to easily and simply cut out beautiful snowflakes from paper yourself. Making a snowflake using the examples of the diagrams and templates given here will not be difficult even for a beginner!

So, let's look at how to properly make a New Year's snowflake from paper with your own hands.

What we need to do first is to choose the appropriate color and thickness of paper. It will be much easier to cut out snowflakes from thin paper: such paper can be easily bent and cut without much effort.

Of course, you can try to make a snowflake from thick paper, but then instead of scissors it is better to use a sharp knife or, for example, a scalpel to prevent the edges of the paper from moving when cutting.

But still, cutting out New Year’s snowflakes with scissors, in my opinion, will be more familiar and convenient. Regular hairdressing scissors are suitable for cutting out the contours of a snowflake, and it is best to cut out small details using miniature manicure scissors.

It should be noted that it is worth deciding in advance on the size of the paper from which we will cut out the snowflakes. The optimal size, in our opinion, would be A5 sheets (this is half of a regular A4 landscape sheet).

Once the appropriate material has been selected, you can proceed directly to cutting out the snowflakes.

We tried to make some really nice paper snowflakes. This is one of the best we have done.

How to fold paper to cut paper snowflakes?

How to make a snowflake template in the Compass-3D program

Agree, a lot of time and paper can be spent on cutting out snowflakes blindly and choosing at least a few normal ones from the many freaks. In order to carefully work out the shape of a snowflake before moving on to cutting it out in kind, it is best to use some kind of CAD program.

Snowflake made of paper: draw a diagram yourself

Original patterns for making snowflakes can be created using computer-aided design systems. Let's look at this using the KOMPAS-3D program as an example.

Let's create a 3D model of our future snowflake. Open “File” - “Create”, select “Part”. First we need to create a sketch. We draw two auxiliary lines in it, intersecting at the origin of coordinates at an angle of 30° to each other, as shown in the figure below.

Creating a snowflake model in the Compass 3D program

Next, at right angles to the vertical auxiliary line, you can draw another line. The result is a triangular area limited on all sides. In this sector we have to draw the future template of a six-rayed snowflake. To construct various openwork elements and curls, you can use the Spline by Points tool. The result should be a snowflake template like this.

Sketch for cutting out paper snowflakes with 6 rays in the Compass 3D system

Now let's see what a snowflake cut out using this template will look like. Select our drawing with the mouse and click the “Symmetry” button in the “Editing” tab.

Create a template for cutting snowflakes from paper

Now all that remains is to select the resulting ray of a six-pointed snowflake, in the “Editor” tab, select the “Copy” - “Circle” item. We indicate the center - the origin of coordinates and 6 copies in increments of 60 degrees. It should look like the picture below.

The snowflake is almost ready

If you wish, you can display everything in 3D and take a better look at the resulting beauty. But in principle, everything is already perfectly visible, so there is no need to waste time on this. If you are satisfied with the result, just save the above template to disk in a suitable format, print it on a sheet of paper of the desired size, and you can start cutting out the snowflake.

To make a snowflake template from a three-dimensional model, create a 3D drawing in Compass (Click the mouse in the top menu “File” - “Create” - “Drawing”), insert a view from this model into the document, select the appropriate scale and print it on a printer.

Paper snowflake template from 3D model

Cut it out and voila! Another beautiful snowflake is ready!

Having “played” a little with the NURBS curves of the above snowflake model in the Compass 3D program and slightly modified the external shape of the beam, we get another beautiful snowflake, from the model of which we can again create a ready-made template in a matter of minutes.

Of course, using a CAD program to make paper snowflake templates is not the easiest option. But don’t be upset, because there is an intuitive and simple program for drawing snowflakes - the Snowf graphic editor, which even a child can use. When drawing a pattern in this program, you do not need to draw any axes, mirror anything, etc. - everything is done absolutely automatically. The intuitive interface allows you to master the program in a matter of minutes. To draw snowflakes, you just need to move the mouse and watch how the pattern on the screen changes.

Other options for making snowflakes

Snowflakes made using a hole punch look original. Making them is easier and faster than cutting out complex patterns.

First, we pierce the workpiece in several places.

After this, using scissors, we connect the resulting circles together. Below are examples of paper snowflakes. done in this way.

To cut out such multi-beam snowflakes, a sheet of paper is folded according to the pattern that is clearly shown in the article (see Blank No. 2).

As you can see, cutting out a snowflake with your own hands is not so difficult, you just need to use your imagination! 🙂

On the eve of the New Year holidays, everyone wants the house to be extraordinarily beautiful, cozy and fabulous. Therefore, it's time to think about what you can do to achieve your desired goal. A good option for decorating a room before the New Year holidays would be to decorate the windows with unusual designs and festive motifs, which will bring a pre-holiday mood and a New Year's fairy tale into the ordinary decor of the room.

And you don’t need to think that all home decorations can only be purchased in a store, spending a fairly impressive amount of money. It would be much better to unite with the whole family and make a variety of decorations for the house and Christmas tree yourself. You can set aside a specific day for such an activity, for example, when you plan to install the beautiful New Year's tree. And don’t forget that this is the most exciting activity!

The simplest thing you can do with your own hands is to cut out and attach snowflakes in different places. Everyone remembers how they cut them out in the garden before the holidays as a child. Today, having become parents, you can spend time with your child with benefit and pleasure, cutting out beautiful snow-white snowflakes from paper with your own hands. Kids always take part in such events with great joy.

Teaching your child to cut out a snowflake yourself is not at all difficult. To do this, you need to prepare the necessary tools and paper. As a base, you can use napkins, colored paper, or just a white sheet from an album.

The thickness of the sheet is not particularly important. But you need to know that thin sheets make the most delicate and airy snowflakes. And paper that is too thick will be difficult to cut.

You will also need a pencil and sharp scissors. After the pattern for the future snowflake is selected, the paper is folded as shown in the photo. The more folds you make, the more interesting and delicate the snowflake will turn out to be.

The size of the future decoration depends on how large the sheet is initially selected. In this case, the choice is influenced only by the desire to have a large or small snowflake.

Once the design is on the paper, we begin cutting. This process requires special care and precision. Under no circumstances should you cut off the edges of the paper at the folds, as the snowflake may simply fall apart.

Children really enjoy this process. After all, in the end you will get a beauty with your own hands, which will be so nice to decorate a Christmas tree, windows or walls in a room.

It should be noted that such a seemingly simple activity as cutting out snowflakes from paper with your own hands is a great opportunity to develop a child’s imagination, sense of beauty and artistic taste.

You can and should develop your child’s abilities at home, but various clubs in the garden and school will only help raise the level and hone the child’s talents.

In addition to simply cutting out paper, a child can be interested in making three-dimensional models of snowflakes. Such decorations are designed for older children and adults. But that doesn’t make them any less interesting or beautiful.

The same openwork snowflakes made of paper are taken as a basis, the design is transferred, for example, to polystyrene foam or polystyrene foam. Using a sharp knife, all the necessary elements are cut out, and the result is unusually beautiful, voluminous snowflakes.

They can be left white, but if you connect the kids and all together paint them with bright colors, then such decorative elements will simply surprise with their unusual design. And the time spent creating them will unite all family members. The result of your work will be unique.

How to make a 3-D snowflake with your own hands

Modern technologies have reached such a seemingly simple task as creating a snowflake. As the name suggests, 3-D snowflakes are a more complex, but very effective technique, thanks to which the manufactured decor is distinguished by a special elegance of lines and rather unusual shapes.

What might you need to make a snowflake with a 3D effect?

Prepare a square sheet of paper of the desired color, a pencil and ruler, scissors or a sharp paper knife, and 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 will need 6 identical squares. Then the following diagram is applied. It can be printed.

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

The next step is to cut parallel lines. The cuts should be made in such a way that they are directed towards each other, but do not converge completely.

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

Then we turn it 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. The result is six snowflakes, which, when glued together, form a three-dimensional 3-D figure.

We connect the corners of all the blanks together.

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!

By coming up with various patterns, painting the figure with paints and even decorating with beads, you can not only create a very beautiful New Year’s decoration, but also help develop your child’s imagination and sense of style.
