The most common winter decorations are snowflakes. They are extraordinarily beautiful, and it's very easy to make them. For this you need only scissors, paper, pencil, inspiration and some free time. To understand how to cut a beautiful snowflake from paper, the diagrams will come in handy.

For someone who has never cut snowflakes, the first question will be how to fold the paper to cut a six-pointed snowflake. How to do it, you can look at the video:

Making the most simple snowflake in stages

Stage one. Snowflake will be beautiful, delicate, if you fold the paper correctly, which is next to be cut. To do this, you need to take a white sheet of paper of a square shape and gently fold in half horizontally.

Stage two. Obtain the rectangular shaped piece folded in half again, now vertically, smooth the fold line and again unbend the part into its original position. It turned out a clear mark in the middle of the detail.

Stage three. Take the left part of the workpiece from the marked mark and bend it obliquely so that a new bend together with the previously marked line forms an acute angle.

Stage four. The opposite edge of the part is also bent, forming an acute angle.

Stage five. After the additions, a detail was obtained, similar in shape to a triangle with two corners protruding from below.

Stage six. The resulting detail should be folded vertically, so that the fold line divides it in half.

Stage Seven. Scissors carefully cut horizontally the bottom of the workpiece, so that the shape is a triangle.

Stage eight. Next, in a simple pencil draw a snowflake on the resulting blank. This can be done arbitrarily or with the help of sketches.

Stage ninth. Then, with a pair of scissors, cut the part along the outline of the sketch of the snowflake. If you cut out not clearly along the contour, the snowflake can be spoiled, deformed or cut into several separate parts.

Stage ten. Carefully unfold on all fold lines a finished, cut out detail. An openwork snowflake made of paper is ready.

Master class for the very newest

For work, the following tools and materials will be needed:

• paper colored or white;
• ruler;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• stapler;
• adhesive;
• thread reel.

Stage one. Take the sheets of colored and white paper, draw on the same strips 2 cm wide, 25-30 cm long. You will need 8 such strips.

Stage two. Cut strips with scissors.

Stage three. Fold four strips in two piles and each pile in the middle with a stapler.

Stage four. Form a snowflake. To do this, take the edge of the first strip, bend it into the loop towards the center, and fix the loop with a glue for the paper.

Stage five. Take the edge of the strip on the other side and in the same way form a loop. Glued it and both received loops among themselves.

Stage six. In the same way, form loops from the remaining strips. As a result, we got a half of a volume snowflake, which has eight rays.

Stage Seven. Similarly, make a second half of the snowflake.

Stage eight. Glue together the two halves, getting a ready snowflake.

Stage ninth. In one of the sticks of snowflakes to thread, tie and hang on a Christmas tree.

Secrets of making from the masters of their craft

1) The best thing for the preparation of snowflakes is fine paper. It is easier to fold and cut. However, after the snowflake is cut out, it will be more difficult to straighten it. Do this carefully and carefully, so that the rays do not tear. A thin, colored or shiny paper is suitable for cutting out the desired product.

2) Use sharp scissors, preferably designed for paper. Small scissors fit, if they are used by children.

3) A paper snowflake will look much more interesting if the paper bends are larger.

4) The beauty of the finished product also depends on the number of voids, the more of them, the better.

5) Before drawing, draw a diagram with a pencil.
