Paper laced snowflakes are the best way to decorate your home for such holidays as New Year and Christmas, to give the room the atmosphere of a winter fairy tale. If you do not know how to make paper snowflakes (you forgot or never did it at all), then get acquainted with the options for making these crafts.
In order to make a paper snowflake, you will need:
- paper (album sheets, newspapers, magazines, napkins, etc. are suitable);
- scissors.
First you need to decide what kind of snowflake you want to make: white or colored, with a pattern, round or square, large or small).
Next, you need to take a sheet and cut a square out of it (this step is necessary if the sheet has a rectangular shape or uneven edges).
Next, you need to fold the sheet in half diagonally so that the corners do not go beyond each other. At this stage, the leaf should be in the shape of an isosceles triangle.
Now the sheet needs to be bent again. To do this, you need to put it in front of you so that the corner - the middle of the future snowflake is at the top, and the other two corners at the bottom, then gently bend the figure in half, putting one bottom corner on top of the other. You should get a triangle with a right angle.
Next, you need to take the blank of the future snowflake in your left hand (you need to hold it by the middle corner), and in the right hand - scissors. Carefully cut out all kinds of patterns: circles, snakes, triangles, etc., trying to cut out interesting figures as much as possible. You can pre-draw patterns with a pencil and then cut them out.
Once the work is finished, you can unfold the craft. The result should be a beautiful, unique paper snowflake.
