White, delicate, elegant snowflakes on windows and walls are irreplaceable companions of the New Year holidays. Begin the winter vacation, snow falls. You can not only have snowball fights in the yard, sculpt castles and figures, but also engage in amazing paper crafts. How interesting it is to create carved crafts to set the festive mood and have fun New Year. We suggest considering the option of cutting out a beautiful openwork snowflake from paper. Call all family members, especially children, and get started.
Materials for winter crafts:
- White paper;
- scissors;
- pencil.
How to cut a snowflake step by step
Take a square and fold it in half.
Mark the places for further bends to create a multi-layer workpiece. Fold the corner of one layer opposite the long base down until it touches the center.
Fold the selected small triangle in half again, and then follow the highlighted lines on the sides of the triangle.
Using the points obtained, and also based on the central point of the base, bend the right and left parts of the triangle.
Fold the piece in half and remove the outer part with scissors.
Using a simple pencil, draw a sketch for further cutting. Outline the beveled lines, then select the carved rays. For convenience, everything unnecessary can be painted over to clearly demonstrate the cut lines.
Using scissors, cut out a very thin carved blank. This is an easy symmetrical cutting technique, and the only difficulty will be that the paper is folded in several layers. Sharp scissors will solve this problem.
Unfold the paper step by step. Be careful not to tear the thin strips. A beautiful openwork snowflake must be smoothed out with an iron or placed under a stack of books for a while so that the paper can straighten out. The New Year's decoration is ready.
Such snowflakes make very beautiful figures ballerinas:

Original and beautiful snowflake with Christmas tree
Even if you don’t draw well or don’t know how to create beautiful ornaments on paper, you can make a beautiful New Year’s snowflake with the image of a Christmas tree. The specimen proposed in this lesson by Elena Nikolaeva is a wonderful decoration for a window, door, mirror or other place in an apartment or classroom. The central image of the Christmas tree is relevant, you will get an unusual winter craft. The snowflake is quite simple and can be completed in a matter of minutes. And you can cut out the entire structure with scissors, and not with a stationery knife.
To cut out a snowflake of an unusual shape, prepare:
- regular white sheet;
- scissors;
- simple pencil;
- eraser.
How to cut a snowflake
To quickly cut out the symmetrical border of a beautiful snowflake, fold the prepared paper in a special way. Take a white square and fold it in half.
Fold the resulting triangle so that at the bottom you get an angle of 60 degrees. You can mark the fold lines intuitively or use a ruler, protractor, or other tools available.
Now bend the bottom corner in half, you will get a piece with a sharper angle of 30 degrees.
First, start with the edging. Draw a pencil line so that you can later cut out the carved edge and form frosty windows. The lines can be smooth or zigzag.
Use small scissors to cut out the outer edge and windows.
So far you have a kind of napkin with a carved outer edge, but the inside is still solid. Unfold the workpiece, leaving it folded in only 2 layers. Using a semi-arc, draw a wavy line along the edge, in the center - half of the Christmas tree, consisting of several triangular tiers. At the top, leave the top in contact with the edging; at the bottom, remove the stump. In these places the Christmas tree will be attached to the carved edging.
Cut out the Christmas tree along the contour, cut the stripes, separating each tier from each other.
Unfold and iron the snowflake. Admire the fruit of your creativity.
How to make a snowflake out of paper.
Volumetric paper snowflakes
Volumetric snowflakes made of paper look very beautiful; they are usually hung from chandeliers or on the ceiling so that the volume is visible.
Snowflakes using quilling technique
Wire snowflakes
Chenille wire- one of the new products in materials for needlework. Soft, bright, flexible - a pleasure to work with your hands. The variety of its textures and colors provides excellent material for realizing creative fantasies.
To make the snowflake, I used a set of already cut wire 30 centimeters long. Accordingly, the diameter finished snowflake will be 30 cm. For one snowflake you will need eight such segments.
Since a snowflake is a symmetrical figure, maintaining symmetry is necessary condition to get a good result.
We take three sticks, they will be the main spines of the snowflake. We bend one of the sticks in half to find the middle, unbend it and place it just above the middle of the other spine. We make a couple of turns around to secure it.
We do the same with the third stick. We get six axes.
Due to the fact that we wrapped two sticks around the third, they became a little shorter. To level all the axes, slightly pull out one of the ends of the third stick, and long end Let's make a loop for hanging.
We take the next three sticks, find their middle and cut along it. We bend one of the segments in half and apply it to one of the axes so that their edges coincide (we will do this every time to maintain symmetry). We make a turn to secure it.
We perform the same actions for the other five segments.
Take the remaining two sticks and cut each into four equal parts. We get eight short segments, two of which are not useful to us. Bend a small piece in half and apply it to the edge of the axle so that the edges match. We fix it on the main one.
We perform the same actions for the remaining five segments.
We adjust all the sticks to create symmetry of the figure.

From tubes
An unusual New Year's snowflake or star can be made from cocktail tubes. Since there are tubes of different colors and even multi-colored stripes on sale, they make wonderful New Year’s crafts. This lesson tells you how to make a New Year's gift or decoration that will fit beautifully into the interior or shine on a New Year's tree. MK Elena Nikolaeva. Easy craft and simple, even children can do it on their own.
For work, prepare:
- cocktail straws of two colors (4 and 8 pieces, respectively);
- scissors;
- 8 small rubber bands for weaving;
- half bead, button or cabochon;
- paper or plastic cup;
- marker.
How to do New Year's star from tubes step by step
Prepare the materials necessary for work. Paper cup needed in order to make a special form that will help in the work. Rubber bands will allow you to fix the rays of the star. It is convenient to use a marker to draw lines along which to cut out the mold.
Cut off the top of the glass and use a marker to draw narrow rectangular stripes. There are only 8 pieces around the circumference at equal distances from each other.
Cut out the template along the outline. You will get a kind of ring with teeth.
Prepare the tubes for the star. It is better to cut off the top part, which is corrugated.
Use a modeling cup mold. Insert the first row of pink (or any other color) tubes into the grooves. There are only 8 holes in the template, they are just designed to insert 4 tubes.
Place a small rubber band on the end of each ray for braiding.
Now create a star by laying tubes of a different color. 8 such parts were initially prepared. Thread the tubes of this variety into the cloves so that there are still two empty cloves between them. At the same time, put on an elastic band on top.
Fill the entire structure with tubes around the circumference in this way. Gradually move forward and insert the tubes into opposite slots, leaving the 2 cloves between them empty.
Securely secure each of the eight rays with an elastic band. Thus, in each ray there will be 3 tubes (2 of one color and 1 of another). The sprocket model is ready.
Glue any beautiful center to the center.

Beautiful simple paper snowflakes (10 patterns)
Snowflakes made this way turn out very beautiful. And there is an unlimited number of patterns that can be cut out. You can come up with a scheme yourself and bring it to life. I will show you some options for making beautiful, openwork paper snowflakes. Snowflakes made in this way turn out to be six-pointed, just like real ones.
More more ways To make very beautiful snowflakes, see this article.
How to fold a sheet of paper correctly
First you need to fold the paper correctly. For all the snowflakes that I will show next, the paper is folded in the same way. The only difference is the pattern that will need to be cut. The main thing is to carefully repeat each step to make a snowflake.
In order to make a snowflake, you need a square sheet of paper. By the way, origami paper is now sold (in bookstores and stationery stores), it is square, multi-colored, with patterns. In general, you can choose any one to suit your taste. And origami paper is thinner than standard A4 printer paper. Accordingly, it is easier to cut out of it.
To make a square from plain A4 paper, you need to fold it, as shown in the photo.
You have a square folded diagonally (triangle).
Next, this triangle needs to be folded in half again. The fold will determine where the center of the snowflake is (I indicate the fold location with a dotted line). Folded it and put it back. In front of you will be just a square, folded once diagonally.
To make the snowflake perfect, you will need a protractor. Measure an angle of 60 degrees from the center of the snowflake to the left and right side. It is along these lines that you will need to bend the paper.
Fold the left corner first, then the right. Bend carefully as shown in the photo below.
Now turn your workpiece over and bend it in half lengthwise. Cut off all unnecessary elements from the resulting figure, leaving a triangle.
That's all! Everything is quite simple, the main thing is to first carefully read the instructions and repeat everything. And you will succeed. Now you need to draw any pattern on the resulting triangle and cut it out.
Some patterns of openwork paper snowflakes
First option: snowflake with hearts. Using a simple pencil, draw a pattern as shown below and cut it out. It's better to have sharp scissors. It was convenient for me to cut with nail scissors, especially the elements where there are smooth, curved lines.
Such a beautiful snowflake turned out according to this scheme.
Another diagram for an example of a six-pointed snowflake. This is a snowflake flower.
And here is the result. Like? Write in the comments which snowflake you liked the most. Or maybe you ended up with a very beautiful snowflake according to your own invented design?
The third pattern is for you! It's simple: fold it, draw it, cut it out, and get beauty!
This snowflake turns out to be very openwork, almost like lace.
The fourth scheme is a simple paper snowflake.
And the end result is in front of you.
Such snowflakes will become decorations for your home, Christmas tree, and windows during the New Year's season. And if you get a little more creative, you can decorate them with sparkles. Make a snowflake from white paper and color it with colored markers. As you noticed, I made these snowflakes large, from a whole A4 sheet. But snowflakes can be made from a square of any size. Only snowflakes that are too small will be more difficult to cut out and draw a figured pattern on them.
And now for the bonus! 6 more patterns for cutting simple snowflakes from paper.
Volumetric “fluffy” paper snowflake
This snowflake turns out very beautiful and fluffy. Such a paper snowflake will lift your spirits and make it truly New Year's. Be sure to check out other options for beautiful voluminous paper snowflakes! The more different snowflakes, the more beauty.
This option is made from an eight-pointed snowflake. The workpiece is folded differently than in the previous, six-ray version. But first you need a square. Take a sheet of A4 and make a square out of it. Do not throw away the cut rectangle; you will later make small snowflakes from it.
The resulting square has already been folded diagonally to form a triangle. Next, this triangle needs to be folded in half again to get a smaller triangle.
And fold the resulting triangle in half again. It turns out that the square will be folded three times. The output will be a small triangle.
Now take the fold line of this triangle and bend it to the very long side. You will get a figure like in the first photo below. Now you need to cut off the excess part of the workpiece. You cut along the conditional line, which is shown in the photo, and you get a ready-made blank from which the snowflake will be cut.
Take the workpiece with the center of the snowflake facing up. The bottom of the snowflake needs to be trimmed, something like a fringe should be made, which will make the snowflake look fluffy. The cuts should be made about 4 mm wide. The more cuts you make, the more magnificent the result will be.
Now carefully unfold the snowflake. It is important not to rush here so as not to tear the “fringe”. This turned out to be the lower part of a voluminous snowflake. Now you need to make 2 more (or maybe 3) the same snowflakes, only smaller in size. Pieces of different colors will look beautiful.
That is, if this snowflake was made from a 20x20 cm square, then make the next one in exactly the same way, only the square should be 15x15 cm. The third snowflake will be even smaller - from a 10x10 cm square.
Place the smaller snowflake on top of the larger one so that the rays do not coincide. Glue them in the center. In the same way, place the third, smallest snowflake, and glue it too. If desired, you can glue sequins, beads to the center or otherwise decorate your creation. By making several of these snowflakes in different colors, you can very beautifully decorate your apartment, house or school classroom.
I wish everyone a Happy New Year! And let your snowflakes be the most beautiful!

* If you want to make a small snowflake, then the side of each square can be 10 cm, and if large, then the whole 25 cm. For large snowflakes, it is better to use thick paper. For beginners, it is advisable to make the first snowflake small.
2. Using a ruler and pencil, mark 3 parallel lines. The distance between each line should be the same. When making a large snowflake, you can make more stripes.
* In the image, the lines are drawn with a red felt-tip pen to make it easier to see.
4.
Turn the paper back into a square and start rolling the first row of strips into a tube (see picture).
* Strips can be fastened with a stapler or glue.
5. Turn the paper over to the other side and fasten the next two strips, also fastening them with a stapler, glue or tape.
6. Turn the snowflake over again and connect the last strips.
7.
The same process must be repeated with the remaining five paper squares.

* To avoid staining the table with glue and paint, cover it with paper.
1.
Before you start making a snowflake, you need to come up with a shape, i.e. what it will look like. At this stage, it is also worth considering what form will be durable and will not come apart.
2.1 Drain the inner circle of the snowflake first. After this, you need to leave the glue to dry and this small part of the snowflake to get stronger.
2.2
Start gluing the next circle.
* Using the same scheme, you can “build” several circles, but remember that the material is fragile, which means you shouldn’t get excited and make huge snowflakes.
2.3 After gluing, leave your snowflakes for a day.
3.
Time to paint the snowflake. For this you can use acrylic paint. Spray paint may be the best option, but it is best to apply it outdoors rather than indoors.
* You should not use gouache - not only will it take longer to dry, but it may also crack if applied in a thick layer.
*If you're using acrylic paint, you'll also want to choose a brush that can get into all the crevices of the pasta.
* It is advisable to have several brushes of different sizes for convenience. If necessary, you can apply a second coat of paint.
4.

Snowflake using paper quilling technique
Quilling snowflakes look elegant, especially if they are complemented with sparkling rhinestones and small foil elements or in the form of small patches. It is not necessary to buy special paper to create New Year's snowflakes, you can cut regular office sheets into thin strips and use a toothpick instead of a split stick. You can wind the strips using a simple method: pressing the paper onto the stick with two fingers and twisting it in your hands.
What to prepare for modeling snowflakes:
- a sheet of office white paper;
- scissors;
- any glue with a brush or a special thin spout;
- stick or toothpick;
- snowflake created using a hole punch or patch blue color;
- blue half beads.
How to model a snowflake quilling
Take either special paper or cut the sheet into strips of the same width. Use scissors or a stationery knife, a ruler and a special thick mat. It will take many strips to create individual parts.
Wind each strip individually onto a stick. The paper easily remembers forced bending, but so that the parts do not unwind and take a certain shape, it is necessary to glue the ends together.
For the middle, prepare 1 large round piece. Also make droplets to fill the body of the snowflake. Only 12 pieces. Make sure they are the same size.
Glue 6 droplets around the circumference, adding a drop of glue to the side wall.
If there are large enough gaps between the parts of the first layer, you can fill them with small rolls. Roll 6 small rounds.
Glue small rounds into the gaps of the first layer.
Apply the second layer of droplets. Apply glue to small parts and press down the droplets with the back (wide) part.
A paper quilling snowflake model has been assembled. Now we have to decorate it with blue decor. Glue a snowflake and a half bead in the center. Add 6 blue crystals to each ray.
Blue sparkle will add a festive touch. The New Year's craft is ready. It can be hung on a green branch or on a window.
In this master class, I propose to make an unusual snowflake-card from paper on a stand. It will be an excellent gift for your mother or grandmother, and at a school exhibition it will have no equal. Also, by doing this craft, the child will learn how to fold paper, carefully cut it and use glue. And of course, fantasize! After all, creating snowflakes is a real art!
Materials needed for the postcard:
- colored paper delicate shades;
- cardboard for base or stand;
- glue;
- scissors;
- sequins for decoration.
Look at snowflakes with your children, tell them how snow is formed, what types of snowflakes there are and how they differ. Usually snowflakes are six-pointed, but we will have an eight-pointed snowflake, since it is made using the origami technique. In order to make one snowflake, you need to bend a sheet of colored paper in half and cut out two identical squares.
Now fold each square in half in different directions. You should get two folds that divide the sheet into four squares. Use a pencil to make marks on back side. They are located in the middle of the side of the small square.
Carefully cut the paper to the marks.
The following blanks are obtained. For one snowflake you will need two things.
Using glue, attach the corners to the rays.
Now you need to place the blanks on top of each other with an offset. It turns out to be such a snowflake!
It's time to decorate the snowflake. To do this, you can take rhinestones, beads or sequins. They need to be glued so as to cover the joints of the corners.
All that remains is to make the base – the stand. To do this, you need to fold a wide strip of cardboard inward so that you get three equal parts. Then use scissors to round the corners.
You can write a congratulation inside the base. All that remains is to glue the snowflake to the edge of the workpiece. We placed a small snowflake cut out of foil in the center.
These are the snowflakes you get in half an hour - bright, airy, sparkling! And most importantly, they keep children's hands warm.

Blue paper snowflake using origami mosaic technique
The origami mosaic technique allows you to create beautiful relief paintings from paper. They look unusual and very attractive. Those who have not yet mastered this needlework technique and are just about to try it, should immediately tune in to painstaking work that requires maximum concentration and perseverance. Even the simplest image in an origami mosaic will take a lot of time, because you not only need to choose a clear diagram, but also make a lot of miniature square blanks.
In this master class I will show you how to make a volumetric blue snowflake made of paper using the origami mosaic technique.
To create such a New Year's panel you will need different materials and tools:
- scissors;
- black lead pencil (simple);
- wide tape;
- ruler;
- 2 sheets of white cardboard;
- 6 sheets of white paper;
- 2 sheets of blue double-sided construction paper;
- tube of PVA glue.
First, on white and blue paper you need to draw squares measuring 3x3 cm.
Now cut the blanks into individual elements.
And start forming squares from which a panel in the form of a blue snowflake on a white background will be assembled.
How to make a square out of paper using the origami mosaic technique?
Take one square.
Gently fold it in half.
Fold this blank in half again so that you end up with a square half the size of the original one.
Unfold all sides to their original position.
Now bend each corner of the square towards its center.
This is how it turns out.
Turn it over to the wrong side.
And again begin to bend the corners of the square to the center.
The result should be a very small square measuring 1.5x1.5 cm.
In total, you need to make 136 blue squares and 225 white ones. This amount was calculated according to the diagram attached below.
Now take a simple pencil, a school ruler, and on two sheets of white cardboard, draw a grid of squares with sides equal to 1.5 cm.
Using tape, glue the two sheets together and cut a square so that each side holds exactly 19 squares.
Now we move on to pasting the base with small squares. To begin, mark the center of the craft and glue a white square onto it.
Now apply a drop of PVA glue to each shaded cell and fill them with blue blanks. Glue the central stripes.
Then place the squares diagonally.
Form a pattern according to the diagram.
The blue paper snowflake mosaic is almost ready!
All that remains is to glue white squares on the empty squares.
When the work is finished, you will receive an original panel in the form of a blue snowflake on a white background. She looks like this! Look how unusually the texture of the craft is visible, creating volume and relief.
Using this technique, you can make many other snowflakes, which will differ in image pattern or color.
This panel looks great on the wall and creates a festive atmosphere. It can also be used as original postcard for one of my friends.
How to make a 3-D paper snowflake with your own hands
Modern technologies have reached such a seemingly simple task as creating a snowflake. As the name suggests, 3-D snowflakes are a more complex, but very effective technique, thanks to which the manufactured decor is distinguished by a special elegance of lines and rather unusual shapes.
What might you need to make a snowflake with a 3D effect?
Prepare a square sheet of paper desired color, pencil and ruler, scissors or sharp paper knife, glue. The work of making 3-D snowflakes is very painstaking and requires a lot of patience.
The first step is to draw a sheet of paper into squares. We will need 6 identical squares. Then the following diagram is applied. It can be printed. 
Fold the square in half diagonally and transfer the diagram as shown in the figure. Fold in half again.
The next step is to cut parallel lines. The cuts must be made in such a way that they are directed towards each other, but do not converge completely.
We connect and glue the corners of the first small square.
Then we turn it over and glue the corners of the next square.
And so on in order until all the corners are glued together.
To make the snowflake voluminous, you need to very carefully glue the corners of all the squares. The result is six snowflakes, which, when glued together, form a three-dimensional 3-D figure.
We connect the corners of all the blanks together.
In order for the figure to keep its shape and not fall apart, you need to additionally glue the sides of the snowflake.
That's all, our 3-D paper snowflake is ready!
By coming up with various patterns, painting the figure with paints and even decorating with beads, you can not only create a very beautiful Christmas decoration, but also help develop the child’s imagination and sense of style.
