How to cut out snowflakes from paper with diagrams and templates step by step
Step-by-step guide how to cut snowflakes from paper with your own hands, MC is attached
Snowflakes are the most wonderful New Year's decoration, which can decorate everything, for example, windows, walls, doors, a Christmas tree. There are many different techniques for making this decoration, but first we will consider the simplest method. This will require a sheet of paper and scissors.
Due to its simplicity, this method of making such decorations is popular among children and adults. There are also complex patterns, the cutting of which is only possible for adults, so snowflakes with more complex ornaments should be done on their own, and simple enough options can be given to cut out to the kids.
Usual office paper of low density is suitable for making snowflakes. The ideal option is paper from a fax or napkins, depending on which pattern to cut. It is easy to tear a small pattern on a napkin, but on thick paper it's harder to cut. Therefore, it is best to use paper from a fax machine, it is very thin and at the same time sturdy. Aluminum foil is also suitable for cutting snowflakes. It beautifully reflects the light and shines on the New Year tree. Despite of what material to make a snowflake, its main decoration is a bizarre pattern.
Step-by-step MK( even novice can handle)
1) If a sheet of paper has a rectangular shape, it must be folded so that a square is obtained and crop the excess, as shown in the photo.
2) Add the resulting square diagonally several times.
3) If at this stage, expand the workpiece, then we get an octagon. Next, we have to cut out patterns, which is the most interesting moment in this technology.
How to cut a five-pointed snowflake
Without a professional approach, you can cut out beautiful hand-made articles using schemes that are easy to transfer onto paper. But this is not enough, because you still need to be able to properly fold a piece of paper. Let's see in the figure how to do it.
1) Take a plain sheet of paper. Basically, it is folded so that the square turns out, but at the moment we are making an unusual, five-pointed snowflake, so we fold the sheet horizontally, in half.
2) Fold the sheet again in half on the long side and again unbend.
3) Add the left corner of the bottom corner of the rectangle with the middle of the top edge. There is already a fold in order not to be mistaken.
4) Slanting bottom part bend upwards and align with left diagonal fold. Perhaps in the picture this will seem incomprehensible, but if you hold paper in your hands, it's much easier to understand.
5) Turn over the paper, add an extra two-layered triangle to the near edge.
6) Cut the excess paper with scissors along this line.
7) You can begin to cut patterns, as fantasy tells. Snowflake will be more openwork if the scissors get deeper and at a small distance from the next figure.
8) Expand the paper, the five-pointed snowflake is ready.
In nature, do not find two identical snowflakes, when they are made in the same way, all the snowflakes are different with a unique pattern, depending on the pattern applied to the workpiece.
The contours of the drawn pattern will help to make a mistake when cutting snowflakes. Then you can experiment, invent your patterns and new forms, or use patterns for snowflakes that simplify the task, give you an opportunity to know in advance what the pattern will turn out.
1) Draw a drawing.
2) Carefully cut out.
3) Expand the workpiece, see what happened.
As it turned out, making snowflakes is a very interesting and fascinating occupation.
