How to make beautiful paper snowflakes with your own hands

Snowflakes are perhaps the most versatile accessory for the New Year holidays. And they decorate the Christmas tree with them, and draw / paste on the windows .... Even a 3-year-old child can make them on their own. And more experienced craftswomen will be able to make snowflakes more complicated, and in a wide variety of techniques.

Especially for you, in this article on the knigorez.ru website, we have collected ideas and templates for making various paper snowflakes - from openwork to voluminous origami snowflakes.

CUTTING OPENWORK SNOWFLAKES ACCORDING TO SCHEMES

First, let's recall the basics ... How to fold a triangular base for cutting hexagonal snowflakes.

1. You will need a square of paper about 15x15 cm,
2. Bend it diagonally
3. Bend the resulting triangle in half and immediately straighten the fold (this is necessary in order to determine the middle),
4. We draw a circle with a maximum radius and divide it into three parts, for example, using a protractor - we make marks at 60 and 120 degrees (remember that the entire circle is 180 degrees).
5.  We bend any of the corners of the triangle so that its side face coincides with the notch on the opposite side. We bend the second side exactly along the edges.
6.  We bend the entire workpiece in half and draw a snowflake diagram.

What can be drawn? See our templates.

IN THE TECHNIQUE OF SCRAPBOOKING

We cut out circles of the desired diameter from paper and simply cut them off with a corner hole punch. The blanks are ready and now you can give free rein to your imagination! Use the scrap materials you have on hand. The rays of snowflakes can be tinted with ink or use the Embossing technique (creating a relief effect).

IN QWILLING TECHNIQUE

An elegant and more realistic quilling snowflake will decorate your home for the New Year and Christmas!

IN KIRIGAMI TECHNIQUE

This is a type of origami in which, in the process of making a figure, it is allowed to use scissors and cut paper with them. The method of cutting out kirigami snowflakes does not differ very much from making simple paper snowflakes, but the result is much more interesting and creative.
