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

Do-it-yourself volumetric snowflakes

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

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

Step 1. Cut out 6 identical squares. For a snowflake measuring 24 cm, 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. Fold the square in half diagonally. Make cuts with scissors as shown in the photo and video. Make such cuts on all six squares. It is very important that the distance between the cuts is the same!

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

Step 3. Making a snowflake beam. Fold 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 turning the snowflake over and pinning the corners until the entire beam is complete.

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

Step 4. Once all 6 beams are completed, connect the three beams together by pinning them. Then connect the other three beams together. Assemble a snowflake by connecting these two halves to each other.

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

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

You can watch in more detail the entire process of making a three-dimensional snowflake in this video.

How to make jewelry with your own hands:

accordion snowflakes (for children aged 5 years and older).

Materials and tools: double-sided colored paper, scissors, stapler or double-sided stationery tape 1 cm wide, decorative elements for decorating 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 kids to work with. Adults can also make miniature snowflakes and take a smaller square.

Fold the square like an 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, diamonds or any others at your request.

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: Unfold the part. You will get a “butterfly”.

Step 4. Connect the “butterfly” into a semicircle, fastening the two sides with a stapler or tape.

Step 5. Prepare a second similar part. Connect two semicircles to form a snowflake. Glue a decorative element or a small openwork white snowflake into the middle of the snowflake using double-sided tape. Tie a loop. The decoration is ready!

Drawings of snowflakes. Hexagonal and octagonal snowflakes.

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

Having prepared the blank for the snowflake using any of these two methods, we begin to cut out the pattern. It is important that under no circumstances should you cut the fold of a snowflake, otherwise it will fall apart!

It’s very interesting to come up with new snowflakes and patterns on them yourself. I usually don’t look at the diagram, and children also like to come up with their own snowflakes. They are interested in what will happen when such an incomprehensible preparation unfolds. And then - a miracle! - beauty comes out!!!

Here are some ideas for adults - snowflake patterns to cut out. These patterns 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 get fixated” on one pattern, on “favorite” frequently repeated elements. And that’s why new ideas are always welcome!

When choosing a snowflake design, you need to pay attention to how many rays there will be in the finished snowflake. And in accordance with this, fold the paper. You already know how to fold paper to make a hexagonal snowflake. You will see how paper is folded to make snowflakes with eight rays in this children's video - the program “Extension”.

If you make snowflakes with several children of different ages or with a group of children, then you can combine all the works into a single composition. It could be. for example, a mobile with 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 implementation 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 is now finding a new birth. Quilling got its name from its history - previously, a quill pen was used to curl paper. In English, the pen sounds like quill, hence the word quilling - quilling.

Snowflakes made using the quilling technique are very durable, hold their shape well, are convenient to store, and they will serve you for many years, delighting you and your children!

In this introductory video, children will show you what you need for quilling and how to curl strips of paper correctly. You will also see how you can do without special quilling tools and how you can replace them.

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.

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 the letters of the alphabet make completely different phrases, and the same bricks make different houses, so you can make a huge number of different snowflakes from paper elements!

What is it difficult to imagine the New Year without? That's right, without the corresponding decorative elements, the main ones of which are snowflakes. And our collection of paper snowflakes is constantly growing! Surely you have all already seen and know how to make such light ones:

Winter is the most creative time of the year! Yes, yes, don't be surprised. If you count how many cards, various crafts, decorations, gifts and snowflakes are made in the world (this is not counting the production of snow in the clouds), then this entire huge set will more than cover other pre-holiday preparations! And every year I want to do something new, original and pleasing to the eye. If you are looking for such an idea, then you are on the right track. Moreover, 2019 is coming to an end.

We propose to make new voluminous paper snowflakes - many step-by-step master classes, step by step, diagrams and various photos of ideas for the New Year 2020! If you have your own original ideas for snowflakes, send them to our New Year’s party using the form at the bottom of this article.

New video on how to make beautiful voluminous openwork snowflakes:

Snowflakes from openwork napkins

Openwork paper napkins can be an excellent material for creating New Year's crafts. After all, you can make a variety of snowflakes from them. 2 MKs on openwork snowflakes from Marina.

We show one of the options for creating such New Year's decor in this new master class for 2019.

First, fold the white openwork napkin in half. Then cut along the marked fold line with scissors. Next, each half needs to be cut in half. As a result, we got an openwork napkin, cut into 4 equal parts.

Now from these quarters we will make rays for the future snowflake. To do this, first fold the workpiece in half, marking the fold line.

Focusing on this line, we bend half of the openwork part.

Then we bend the second openwork half symmetrically.

By bending both sides, we get a blank for the first ray of a snowflake.

This is what it looks like from the front.

We continue to make other rays using the same principle.

And so we continue to work.

To make a snowflake, we needed 10 rays. If desired, the center can be decorated with a shiny rhinestone. We made such a New Year's snowflake from openwork napkins.

Now we propose to make a convex round snowflake from openwork napkins according to the 2018 master class. Very light and beautiful, suitable for children, see detailed instructions.

To create such a snowflake we prepared:

• • openwork napkins (6 pieces are enough);
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • decorative rhinestone for the middle.

We will make the snowflake itself from peculiar little bags. To create them, we first need to bend the openwork napkin in half. After that, cut it with scissors along the fold line.

Then fold each half in half again and cut. As a result, we get 4 blanks from one napkin.

Now let's use glue and connect the edges of this workpiece so that we get a little bag.

In total, our snowflake will require 12 of these bags.

We take another napkin, it will serve as the basis for our snowflake. First glue 2 bags on it opposite each other.

Then we fix 2 more blanks in the other direction.

After this, evenly distribute the remaining bags and glue them onto an openwork napkin.

For the middle of the snowflake we will use other blanks. To create them, just cut a napkin in half.

After this, we immediately make small bags from the halves of openwork napkins.

In total we produce 4 such blanks.

We begin to glue them into the middle of the snowflake.

Fix all 4 bags evenly.

And we decorate the middle with decorative rhinestones. Our snowflake made from openwork napkins is ready.

Lush volumetric snowflake

Having 3 squares of paper, we can make the New Year's snowflake shown in this master class by Marina.

To create it, let's take:

• 3 squares of blue paper;
• PVA glue;
• decorative rhinestone.

Our craft consists of three elements, each of which will require one square blank. Let's start working on creating the first element. To do this, mark the transverse folds on the first blue square.

After this, fold the side edges of the square to the middle line.

Now let's fold the other sides.

We unfold one side as follows, giving it the appearance of a trapezoid.

We do the same on the other side.

Now the corners of the resulting workpiece need to be carefully straightened so that they acquire a square shape.

We do this with all four corners.

In place of these squares we make folds on both sides.

Next, we will straighten these folds and give the workpiece itself the appearance of an elongated rhombus.

We must make such diamonds from all four corners.

The resulting diamonds need to be narrowed a little more; to do this, we make folds on the sides.

The workpiece acquired this appearance after the folds were made.

It remains to fold it as follows. To do this, you need to turn the workpiece over to the other side and make folds along the transverse folds.

This is what this blank looks like from the other side.

From the remaining two squares we make similar blanks, and then glue them together.

And in the center of the craft we place a decorative rhinestone. It turned out to be such a voluminous snowflake.

Snowflakes curls

Simple strips of paper are used to create basic elements that can be glued together in any order. The number of options for such snowflakes tends to infinity, as in nature :)

A simple snowflake using the false quilling technique

Our master class on creating an openwork snowflake using the false quilling technique will help you make a decoration from strips of paper with minimal time and materials.

For the creative process you need to prepare the following materials:

• a sheet of white (or double-sided blue, silver) A4 paper;
• simple pencil;
• ruler;
• eraser;
• glue;
• scissors.

How to make an openwork snowflake using the unusual “false quilling” technique

The snowflake will consist of three types of elements, to create which you will need strips 1 cm wide. Each type of element must consist of six parts, so we need to draw a sheet of 18 stripes. The first 6 stripes should take up the length of the entire sheet. Draw the next 6 stripes perpendicular to the first. Draw the third type of stripes under the long ones, starting from the perpendicular stripes.

Cut strips of paper and fold them into three rows, depending on their length. In places where pencil lines are very visible, use an eraser.

To make it more convenient to work with strips, wrap them around a pencil and remove. Unlike the “” technique, our task is somewhat simplified, since we will not be working with dense curls, but with their similarity.

Take a strip from the “short” row. To wrap the strip into a ring, twist it around your finger, close the edges and glue it. Make the next turn a little weaker and glue it again at the base. Make a third turn in this manner. Cut off excess paper with scissors.

Do this with the remaining five short strips, making sure they are the same size.

Make exactly the same ring curls with stripes from the middle row.

Bend the longest strips in half.

Wind each end tightly onto a pencil and carefully remove the ring - you will get these double curls.

Press the smallest curl rings on both sides with your fingers, giving them an almond shape.

Press the middle curl rings from the ends to the center to form a figure of a four-pointed star (diamond).

Let's start collecting snowflakes. Connect the six almond-shaped parts together with glue. You will get something like a flower.

Glue double curls between the “petals”.

For convenience, glue double curls across one petal.

Then glue on the remaining double curls.

Glue the “stars” where the double curls meet.

That's all, the voluminous openwork snowflake is ready!

Look how twisted it is, like lace!
Thanks to the three-dimensional elements, folding such a snowflake is easier than when creating a quilling figure. Even small children can cope with such creative work if they are shown everything and helped, if necessary. Older children will figure out the intricacies of the work on their own. You can also come up with other elements and make several snowflakes to decorate a festive tree or interior. The main thing is desire, and everything will work out for you!

Snowflake made of paper squares

What to prepare to create snowflakes from paper squares:

• squares 8*8 cm, cut from decorative double-sided colored paper (scrap paper);
• scissors;
• pencil;
• glue;
• rhinestones, sparkles, sequins.

How to fold unusual snowflakes from ordinary paper squares

To work, you need two squares of the same size. If you want to make small snowflakes, use small squares and vice versa.

Cut squares of the required size from decorative paper. It is best to use paper that has a pattern on one side and a base color on the other, then the snowflake will look original.

Fold the squares in half twice.

Straighten the squares, the main lines will appear on them.

Fold the edges to the center line, pressing the folds with your finger.

Do exactly the same on the other side. When you straighten the squares, you will see that markings of small squares have appeared on them.

Using scissors, cut along the center folds to the length of one square.

Fold the corners at each edge as shown in the picture.

Tape the corners so that the patterned side is on top.

Glue one part of the snowflake onto the other so that the rays do not overlap each other.

Decorate the resulting snowflake with self-adhesive rhinestones, or stick on glitter with glue.

A beautiful figured snowflake made of squares is ready!

So, with very little effort, we got an unusual snowflake. Such beauty was created from two squares, it’s hard to believe! You are convinced that children can handle this kind of work, which means you can make a lot of wonderful snowflakes and use them to decorate rooms, gifts for loved ones and relatives, a festive tree or a Christmas wreath. And if you connect several snowflakes, you can make a garland, pendants or a crown decoration for the holiday.

Volumetric snowflake made of foamiran

Our regular author Marina will show you how to make a shiny three-dimensional snowflake in her new master class.

Snowflakes can be made from various materials. In this master class we propose to make such a craft for the New Year 2019 from shiny foamiran. But you can also choose colored paper; the folding technology is the same.

To make such a snowflake we prepared:

• shiny (glitter) foamiran of blue and silver color;
• scissors;
• toothpick;
• sharp knife;
• ruler;
• glue gun

Step-by-step instruction

We decided that our snowflake would be two-color, so we use foamiran in two colors - blue and silver. If desired, such a craft can be made in one color. The snowflake will consist of individual elements - rectangles. First, we cut out 3 rectangles measuring 2.5x14 cm from blue foamiran.

Now you need to make certain cuts on each rectangle. But first, let's use a ruler and a toothpick. On the wrong side, set aside 1 cm along the edges and draw small vertical lines with a toothpick. After this, the central part needs to be divided into 5 equal strips, the width of each of them will be 5 mm.

Next you will need a sharp utility knife. With its help, using a ruler, we carefully make cuts along the intended lines, not reaching 1 cm from each edge. This is best done under something hard (for example, a cutting board).

This is what our blue rectangle with cuts looks like, see photo:

We prepare other preparations in the same way. In total, 3 blue and 3 silver blanks will be used for our snowflake.

Now you can start creating the openwork rays of our snowflake. To do this, take one rectangle and carefully fold it in half, aligning the edges.

Using the same principle, using a glue gun we create the remaining shiny rays. There will be 6 of them in total.

For the base of the snowflake, cut out a small circle from silver foamiran. Glue the first blue ray to its wrong side.

We place the second (silver) ray opposite the first.

Now we fix the blue and silver rays between them using hot glue.

On the other side we also glue a couple of rays.

All that remains is to design the middle of our snowflake. To do this, cut out a small circle from silver foamiran and glue it.

Our volumetric snowflake made of shiny foamiran is ready.

Snowflake made from cardboard tubes

New Year's decor can be created even from scrap materials. An example would be a simple and interesting snowflake made from cardboard tubes, and the detailed process of its creation is shown in Marina’s master class. Such crafts can be done with children at home or in middle and senior groups of kindergarten.

To make such a snowflake we prepared:

• cardboard rolls from toilet paper or paper towels;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• brush;
• PVA glue;
• glitter;
• glue gun;
• scissors.

The first step is to make preparations for the future snowflake. We flatten the cardboard blank, and then make markings at a distance of 1 cm.

Then we need a glue gun, warm it up. He will help us connect 6 cardboard elements in a circle. This will be the base of our snowflake.

To create other elements of the snowflake, we must fold the cardboard strip in half.

In this way we add up the 12 remaining elements.

You should get 6 such blanks for a snowflake.

We begin to glue these blanks inside. We do this using a glue gun.

This is what our snowflake looks like at this stage.

All that remains is to decorate it and apply glitter. To do this, you first need to coat the top part of the craft with PVA glue; it is more convenient to do this with a brush.

Then pour glitter onto a sheet of paper.

Place the snowflake on this sheet with the coated side down. If necessary, glitter can be sprinkled on individual places. We made this snowflake from a cardboard tube.

A traditional, familiar and beloved room decoration for the New Year holidays is paper snowflakes. They can be large and small, voluminous and flat, single and in a garland. There are a lot of options, everyone will choose the right one for themselves, and in the article we will look at the most basic ways of how you can make snowflakes for the New Year with your own hands from paper with a detailed description and photographs.

For work we will need 1 A4 sheet; it can be colored or white. Fold it exactly in half lengthwise, then into an accordion. The edge of the accordion is two centimeters. Unfold and cut in half along the fold line. We received 2 identical accordions.

On the outside of the accordion we draw the outlines of a snowflake, as in video 1, and cut it out. We draw the second accordion and cut it out in the same way.

We glue openwork accordions together and fasten the middle with glue. We received a beautiful carved snowflake.

Huge snowflakes made from paper bags

Let's try to make three-dimensional ones with our own hands for the New Year; step-by-step photos with descriptions are given below. These paper snowflakes are very unusual and interesting.

They turn out to be voluminous and beautiful due to the fact that they need to be made from paper bags, which you can buy or pre-glue yourself.

For this work we need (for 1 snowflake):

1. Paper bags 30 * 9 cm.
2. Cardboard strips 20 * 9 cm and 20 * 1 cm.
3. A simple pencil and a ruler.
4. Scissors.
5. Glue or thin double-sided tape.

We make a snowflake like this:

1. On cardboard 20 by 9 cm, draw a template of one repeating part and cut it out.
2. We transfer the template to bags and cut it out. For 1 snowflake you need to use 10 bags, from which we will get 10 rays of a snowflake.
3. Next, in the center we glue each ray with the neighboring one. To do this, spread a strip of glue or glue double-sided tape or adhesive tape.
4. We unfold our volumetric snowflake and also fasten the outer rays together.

Any snowflakes can be lightly smeared along the edges with glue and sprinkled with glitter, or brushed over them with a dry brush, with a small amount of paint of any color, this way you can shade the snowflake.

Star - snowflake

For this amazing and unusual, bright star - a snowflake, we need:

1. Colored paper. Sheets 11 by 16 cm. Six sheets of different shades.
2. Glue and scissors.

We roll each sheet into a tube and glue it, then fold it in half and cut it into 2 even parts. We glue all the parts, placing them on top of each other.

Cut off the top of the entire stack into a sharp corner on both sides. Unfold the stack and glue the ends together. The result was a star with sharp tips.

Children will really like these stars - snowflakes. They are bright and unusual, voluminous and large. They can decorate the entire room.

Large and colorful beauties

Let's see how to make multi-colored large paper snowflakes with your own hands for the New Year. These beauties are quite easy to make, and they look bright and beautiful. They are good for decorating children's rooms, kindergarten or school. Of course, they can be made plain white, as is customary, for this you can use office paper.

For creativity we need:

1. Colored paper of any shade, preferably double-sided. For 1 snowflake you need 2 leaves.
2. Scissors.
3. Glue.

Let's start creating:

1. Fold a sheet of paper into a triangle at an angle, cut off the excess.
2. Fold in half again straight from the top.
3. Next, bend the corners of the triangle in different directions towards the middle.
4. Draw a line from the center to the corner and cut out a droplet.
5. Mark with a pencil and make cuts to create a snowflake openwork.
6. Unfold the snowflake and bend the strips of rays to the middle, glue them.
7. Make 1 more similar layer and glue them together in the center so that the rays of the top layer fall into the spaces between the rays of the lower layer.

That's all. You can hang a snowflake on a ribbon and decorate your room with it.

Snowflake using modular origami technique

Origami is a technique for creating amazing shapes from modules made from squares of paper. You can also make a snowflake using this technique. It will be unusual, beautiful and stand out from the flat and voluminous snowflakes we are used to. To work on a modular snowflake we will need:

1. Squares of single-sided blue paper 10 by 10 cm - 8 pieces.
2. Glue.

We assemble the snowflake from 8 modules. They all add up the same way:

1. Bend the square diagonally with the blue side facing out. Fold in half again and unfold
2. We bend the long side to the vertical center line and bend the corner up. Fold the other side in the same way.
3. Open the paper square.
4. Using the folds, we assemble the module in the other direction, as in video 2.
5. We do all 8 modules in exactly the same way.
6. Now we add the modules. We put the white triangle of one module into the pocket from the other module and secure it with glue.

This is how we connect all the modules. We attach the braid and the snowflake is ready.

Snowflake - fluff, made from paper squares

You can make beautiful fluffy and voluminous snowflakes for the New Year with your own hands from squares of paper. Colored squares can be cut out from double-sided colored paper or take office paper to write in the shape of squares. 1 snowflake will take 6 squares.

To work you will need:

1. One and a half sheet of colored double-sided paper, from which we will make squares.
2. Scissors.
3. Glue.

We make a snowflake like this:

1. Cut out 6 squares, or use ready-made squares.
2. Fold them diagonally into a triangle.
3. Cut into strips 0.5 or 1 cm wide towards the center so that the center remains uncut.
4. These will be fluffy rays of a snowflake. Now we glue each ray one by one at the ends, then in one direction, then in the other.
5. Now let's connect 3 rays each, and then glue all three together in the center.

The main thing is to do everything carefully and follow the instructions. The snowflake will turn out to be joyful, fluffy and cheerful; it can decorate a nursery or any other room.

Shining fluff

This type of fall snowflake is similar to the method of making carved snowflakes from paper, which you can easily and quickly make with your own hands for the New Year. But we will sprinkle it with sparkles, and it will begin to shine. For one snowflake we again need 6 squares, one for each ray.

We make a snowflake according to the description given above. We use squares for snowflakes for recording or cut our own according to your size and any color. Then we make glitter. We take tinsel and cut its terry finely onto a sheet of paper. Then coat the snowflake rays lightly with glue and dab them into glitter. Attach the braid to the snowflake and safely hang it on the Christmas tree or wall.

New Year's fluff

Now let's figure out how to make beautiful snowflakes - paper fluffs with your own hands for the New Year. These are fluffy and weightless creatures; they will create an amazing winter, New Year's mood in the room. They are easy to make; all you need is paper, scissors and glue.

For 1 fluff we need to make 3 squares of different sizes. They should have a side of 20 cm, 15 cm and 10 cm.

We fold these squares diagonally into a triangle three times, cut out a ray and cut them, forming fluff. Then we unfold them and glue them together, placing smaller ones on top of the largest layer.

That's all, the fluffs are ready. They can be mounted on the wall, on curtains, and so on. You can sprinkle them with glitter or make them colorful using double-sided colored paper.

Snowflakes in an unusual technique

To create a large fluffy snowflake, you can use napkins and the trimming technique. To do this, you need to cut out a large snowflake template from thick paper. It should be very simple, just 8 rays from the center. Next, prepare the napkins by cutting them into squares. Take any shade of napkins you like.

Now we do this:

1. Coat a piece of beam with PVA glue.
2. We twist 1 square of napkin onto a stick and attach it to the surface coated with glue. So we fill the entire snowflake, attaching each subsequent square quite tightly.
3. The closer the napkin pieces are to each other, the fluffier the snowflake will be.

This snowflake should be hung on a ribbon or placed on a table or shelf. It can be decorated with sparkles or any small decorative elements, or supplemented with artificial spruce branches.

To visualize how to make some other types of snowflakes for the New Year with your own hands from paper, watch the video on the topic.

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

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

Schemes for cutting snowflakes from paper

Instead of plain white paper, you can use paper napkins, tissue paper, tin foil, or old magazines. Beautiful openwork snowflakes on the walls and windows of the room will perfectly complement the holiday decor. Light paper snowflakes can be used to make a magnificent garland or streamer with threads hanging down. You can also decorate a New Year's card or gift wrapping with a homemade snowflake. Snowflakes made from denser material will be an ideal decoration for a children's New Year's costume.
