What can I do with a snowflake? Schemes, master classes

Let's find out from which you can make a snowflake, and also give several master classes for its creation. The proposed crafts can decorate windows and walls, a festive table, a Christmas tree and many other interior items.

What can I do with a snowflake?

The answer to this question is quite simple - from everything. Indeed, in fact, there is a mass of materials from which you can make a snowflake. Therefore, the list is quite extensive:

• paper;
• Beads and beads;
• Tissue wipes;
• the cloth;
• Thin branches of bushes and trees;
• Wooden sticks;
• Woolen threads and so on.

As you can see, quite a lot of options from which you can make a snowflake. The main thing is to show your imagination.

Snowflakes from plain paper

When we talk about cutting New Year's snowflakes, the first thing we remember is a pile of sheets of paper folded into a triangle. This is the most popular way to make a craft, known even to a small child.

So, to make such snowflakes, you will need paper, a pencil and small scissors.

Step-by-step instructions on how to cut a snowflake:

1. Take a simple sheet of paper and make it a square shape (Figure 1). This can be done in two ways. First: use a ruler to measure four identical sides and draw a square, then cut it out. Second: wrap the top left corner to the right side and smooth the fold, cut off excess paper.
2. Fold the sheet into a triangle (Figure 2).
3. Make another triangle (Figure 3).
4. Turn the right side to the middle of the triangle, then tilt the left one (Figure 4).
5. Cut off the extra "tails" (Figure 5).
6. Draw a diagram with a pencil and cut out the snowflake (Figure 6).

Beautiful New Year`s snowflakes - stencils

In this way, as described above, you can make a huge number of absolutely different snowflakes. The whole variety lies in the use of templates.

If you have already become a master and know how to cut beautiful New Year snowflakes, you do not need stencils. After all, you can draw a drawing yourself and cut it out. The main difficulty is that eventually a beautiful snowflake comes out. And this does not always work.

If you do not really want to trouble yourself and invent patterns, then you can use the ready-made stencils. It is enough simply to redraw them to the workpiece and cut them out along the contour.

In the illustration above you can see examples of such stencils. In fact, their huge number and only you yourself can decide what kind of snowflakes you want. After all, depending on the pattern, you can get an artwork laced, more square, with a pattern of figurines and so on.

Most often, the more curls and fine lines in the stencil, the more airy will the finished product.

Which paper is suitable for making snowflakes?

To make paper snowflakes, almost any paper is suitable. The main thing is that the sheet can be easily bent, and then easily cut out a pattern from it. Therefore, it is better to use the following options:

• Office paper (another name for the printer);
• Album sheets;
• Colored paper;
• For origami;
• For decoupage with patterns;
• Kitchen napkins.

Of the cardboard, you can also make snowflakes, only in a different way. After all, this type of paper is difficult to bend several times. And to cut out of it thin patterns precisely it will not turn out. Therefore, if you want to make a cardboard snowflake, then this should be done in the following way: draw on the whole sheet all contours of the craft, and then cut it.

Snowflakes 3D

Very beautiful in the quality of the decor of the interior, there are three-dimensional snowflakes (3D). They are made from several sheets of paper.

Master class, how to make paper snowflakes 3D:

1. Take a sheet of paper and make it a square shape (Figure 1).
2. Fold the sheet in half to make a triangle.
3. Scissors make triangular incisions at least three times, as in illustration 2. The number of notches depends on the size of the paper.
4. Open the sheet and connect the PVA glue to the ends of the first carved square (Figure 3).
5. Flip the snowflake and glue the ends of the second square in the same way (Figure 4).
6. Turn the part so several times until all the squares are wrapped (Figure 5).
7. Do the same way for five more pieces of the same size.
8. When all the details are ready, they need to be glued together. Take two pieces and glue them together in two points: one end and the middle (illustration 6). Connect all six parts in this way. Spread the loose ends.

All is ready! You have a three-dimensional snowflake.

The second way of making a snowflake 3D

To make such bulk snowflakes, do not need a lot of paper. For one craft, you need to cut only twelve identical in width and length of strips.

The procedure for creating a three-dimensional snowflake:

1. Cut the required number of strips (Figure 1).
2. Take two strips and glue them together to make a cross (illustration 2).
3. Place two more on the sides of one of the strips, only now above or below the perpendicular piece (depending on where the first one is located) (Figure 3).
4. Do the same, but in the opposite direction. As a result, you should get it as in Figure 4.
5. Now take the two ends of the side strips and glue them together (Figure 5).
6. Repeat the same with three more sides (Figure 6).
7. Make one more exactly the same detail (Figure 7).
8. Slightly bend all the stitches inside each detail (illustration 8).
9. Connect the two pieces together, putting the resulting loops on the remaining stripes (Figure 9).
10. Fix them together with glue.

The original volumetric snowflake is ready!

Tip: to make all the elements faster and better to stick together, and in the process of work do not disintegrate, connect the necessary points with the help of staples.

Snowflake from tissue wipes

To make wonderful snowflakes from napkins, you do not need any additional materials, except for a ready-made piece of cloth. You will need only sleight of hand and the following master class.

Instructions how to make snowflakes from napkins to decorate a New Year's table:

1. Take a clean and ironed linen napkin (Figure 1).
2. Wrap all the corners to the center (illustration 2).
3. Again wrap the new four corners (figure 3) to the center.
4. Hold the central part of the napkin and turn it to the other side (Figure 4).
5. Fold the four corners to the center (illustration 5).
6. While holding the middle so that it does not open, turn the inner parts forward on all corners (Figure 6).
7. Now lift up the corners left behind (Figure 7).

Snowflake napkin is ready!

Tip: to make the article not disintegrated, you can clamp the middle with special clamps.

Wicker snowflake

Original crystal fluffs are obtained from beads. Then they can be used as New Year's toys. Snowflakes in this case are suspended on the tree for a string or line.

The instruction how to make a suspension bracket on a New Year's tree:

1. Take the beads of three kinds: 8 mm, 4 mm and 2 mm. We also need a line about 70 cm long (Figure 1).
2. Take a fishing line and string on it 5 beads measuring 8 mm (Figure 2).
3. Put on the sixth bead and pass through it the other end of the line to make the loop (Figure 3).
4. Tighten the eyelet (illustration 4).
5. From one end of the line, put the beads in this order: 4 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm, 2 mm (Figure 5). It will be more beautiful if you use beads of two different shades.
6. Next, string the beads in this order: 8 mm, 2 mm, 8 mm, 2 mm, 8 mm, 2 mm (Figure 6).
7. Now use the end of the fishing line through the second 2 mm bead (Figure 7).
8. Tighten one more loop (illustration 8).
9. String the beads into the working end in the following order: 4 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm (Figure 9).
10. Draw a line through the bead from the 3rd point (Figure 10).
11. Pass the right end of the line through another large bead and string on it such beads: 4 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm, 2 mm (Figure 11).
12. String another bead: 2 mm, 8 mm, 2 mm, 8 mm, 2 mm, 8 mm, 2 mm. Pass the fishing line through the second 2 mm bead and put on the beads 4 mm and 2 mm (Figure 12).
13. Pass the line through the beads, which are shown in Figure 13.
14. Tighten the eyelets (illustration 14).
15. Bring the line through the neighboring large bead (Figure 15).
16. Similarly, weave another three sides of the snowflake (Figure 16).
17. Continue the weaving of the tops of the snowflake on the other side of the line (Figure 17).
18. Pass the two edges of the line through several different beads and tie small nodules (Figure 18).

The snowflake is ready! It remains only to tie a ribbon, thread or piece of fishing line, so that the craft can be hung on the line.

We use sticks from ice cream

Absolutely wonderful decor can be built from ordinary wooden sticks from ice cream (for example, Eskimo). We must either collect them, or buy them (they are sold in large sets of 50 pieces or more).

First, collect a snowflake of an arbitrary shape. When you like everything, neatly glue with a glue gun wooden sticks between each other. Then paint the design in any color with acrylic paint. It falls very well and dries quickly.

When your snowflake is ready, make a wire hook and hang it on the wall or on the door. This is a very simple and at the same time stylish New Year decor of the premises.

Tip: to make the article look neat, you need to put the sticks on each other only on one side.

The help comes natural materials

Very beautiful look snowflakes, made from the simplest cones, which can be collected, walking through the forest.

To make such an original craft, you will need nine pieces of small shishik. Connect the material together with an adhesive gun. To do this, drip the glue on the back of the cones and tighten them together. That is, the "ass" should be in the middle, and the lush parts form a snowflake. To make the dress look more elegant, cover it with white paint, and sprinkle silvery sparkles from above.
