Dear friends, the holiday beloved by all children and adults is approaching - the New Year! Today I want to present a master class on cutting out a paper snowflake. Cutting a snowflake out of paper is a real miracle. We fold a simple sheet of paper, cut it out, cut it out ... And, carefully unfolding, we understand that magic has happened! It's not just a piece of paper, it's a charm, a winter fairy tale! The beauty of a snowflake fascinates, attracts the eye, you want to admire it.

Only in winter they are

Houses - immediately melt.

Beauty as picture:

Falling from the sky ... (Snowflakes)

Timid disturbed fluff

A snowflake is falling over the city.

Below, below - around, straight, crooked.

Oh! and how beautiful she is!

I admire and do not dare to pass.

I don't know what to do with her.

Here she is, this very minute,

Fall under someone's boots.

I reach out to her with a good hand -

Nobody will touch you!

In the palm of your hand for a long time before trouble -

A tiny drop of water.

I wanted to save you, snowflake, -

And I carry your teardrop in my hand.

We know that snowflakes are frozen water. Snowflakes are tiny ice crystals of intricate, unique shapes that each winter generously gives us. In an ordinary snowfall, we do not think that an ordinary snowflake, when studied under a microscope, can be an equally beautiful sight and amaze us with the correctness and complexity of forms. A snowflake is one of the most fantastic examples of the self-organization of matter from simple to complex.

Looking at the snowflakes even with the naked eye, you can see that none of them repeats the other. It is assumed that in one cubic meter of snow there are 350 million snowflakes, each of which is unique. All of them have a strictly hexagonal shape; there are no pentagonal or heptagonal snowflakes.

Why are snowflakes hexagonal? The science of chemistry can explain this fact to us. But today's lesson is not about that.

Snowflake
Konstantin Balmont

Light fluffy,
snowflake white,
What a pure
How brave!

Dear stormy
Easy to carry
Not in the sky azure,
Asking for the ground.

Azure miraculous
She left
Myself into the unknown
The country has fallen.

In the rays of shining
Slides, skillful,
Among the melting flakes
Preserved white.
Under the blowing wind
Trembling, uplifting,
On him, cherishing,
Light swings.

his swing
She is comforted
With his blizzards
Spinning wildly.

But here it ends
The road is long
touches the earth,
Crystal star.

lies fluffy,
Snowflake is bold.
What a pure
What a white!

So, let's start making paper snowflakes
Materials needed for work:
1. Sheet of A4 paper
2. Scissors.
3. Simple pencil

Let's remember the rules for handling scissors:

Use only well-sharpened and adjusted scissors.

Work with scissors only at your workplace.

Lay the scissors with the rings towards you.

Pass the scissors rings forward.

Don't leave scissors open.

Store scissors in a sheath with the blades down.

Do not bring scissors to your face, do not play with scissors.

Use scissors as directed.

Step by step workflow:

You can take any paper for cutting snowflakes: office, tracing paper, napkins, origami paper, colored paper for children's creativity.

Cutting a 6-ray snowflake is not an easy process, and in order to get a beautiful snowflake, the paper must be folded carefully, the folds must be ironed with fingers, and the joints must match.

1. From a rectangular sheet of paper we will make a square, for this we will fold it diagonally, and cut off the excess.


2. We put the triangle with the base up, outline the middle, in order to divide it into three parts

3. We bend one side, trying to divide the base of the triangle into equal parts

4. Then we bend the second side, align

5. Fold in half again. Our snowflake blank is ready, the sharp corner is the middle of the snowflake, the folds on the right and left are the rays, everything that can be ruthlessly cut off from below

6. Now apply the desired pattern to the workpiece and cut it out. (For processing the edges, you can also use scissors with a curly blade).


7. Carefully cut and unfold. The finished snowflake can be additionally decorated with sequins, glitters, covered with silver or gold lacquer, and then placed on windows, walls, postcards or New Year's gift wrapping.

Everyone, thank you for your attention, you can decorate the room and prepare for the New Year!

We wish you creative success!

Man has had a desire to express himself creatively from time immemorial. Thanks to him, amazing things were born. Now even some of them we call objects of art. But initially, it is just a manifestation of the human soul. And what only you and I do not invent! Probably, each of us used to fold a jumping frog during breaks. And inflated a tulip, watching the magical transformation of a folded leaf into a half-opened bud? And, finally, everyone launched an airplane made by himself into flight. The main material of the above crafts, of course, is paper. There are many types of paper, and as a result, there are even more techniques for making work from it, which we will combine with the word “paper-plastic”. Paper-plastic classes develop in children the ability to work with their hands, they improve fine motor skills of the hands, precise finger movements, and the eye develops. Children learn to navigate in space and on a sheet of paper, to divide the whole into parts, which is necessary for preschool children. Paper plastic stimulates the development of memory, just as a child, in order to make a craft, must remember the sequence of its manufacture, techniques and methods of folding, gluing. Training manual dexterity when doing paper-plastic also contributes to the development of such necessary skills and qualities as preparing the hand for writing (at preschool age, it is the preparation for writing that is important, and not teaching it, because early learning often leads to the formation of incorrect writing technique). And of course, paper-plastic develops the creative abilities of the child! With paper of different textures, children invent, try, experiment. The New Year is just around the corner ... And of course, the children, and parents too, will be very pleased and interested to decorate their room, apartment for this wonderful holiday with their own hands. Therefore, we wanted to give our meeting a New Year's theme. Well, one of the most beautiful attributes of the new year is, of course, a snowflake. There are many ways to make and cut snowflakes. And we will make some of them. 1. Snowflakes from circles. 2. Snowflake from triangles 3. Volumetric snowflake.

Without what it is difficult to imagine the New Year? That's right, without the corresponding decorative elements, the main of which are snowflakes. And our collection of paper snowflakes is constantly updated! Surely all of you have already seen and know how to make such easy ones:

Winter is the most creative time of the year! Yes, don't be surprised. If you count how many postcards, various crafts, decorations, gifts and snowflakes are made in the world (this is not counting the production of snow in clouds), then this whole huge set will more than cover other pre-holiday preparations! And every year I want to do something new, original and pleasing to the eye. If you are looking for such an idea, then you are on the right track. Moreover, 2019 is coming to an end.

We propose to make new voluminous paper snowflakes - many step by step tutorials, step by step, diagrams and different photos of ideas for the New Year 2020! If you have your own original ideas for snowflakes, send them to our New Year's Eve through the form at the bottom of this article.

A new video on how to make beautiful voluminous openwork snowflakes:

Snowball from strips of paper

Plain white paper can be a great material for making Christmas snowflakes. For example, many thin strips can be cut out of it, which will become the basis for the snowflake shown in this master class.

For such a snowflake, we will prepare:

  • white paper;
  • a ruler with a simple pencil;
  • scissors;
  • decorative rhinestone.

We will make a snowflake from thin strips of paper of various lengths. Therefore, first we cut them, the thickness of all strips is the same and is 0.5 cm. And the length will be different. We will need 6 strips 20 cm long, 12 - 16 cm, 12 - 12 cm and 10 strips 10 cm long.

For one ray, we need the following blanks - 1 strip 20 cm long and 2 pieces each 16, 12 and 10 cm long.

We take the longest strip and glue its ends.

Then we fix a strip 16 cm long from the edge, forming a kind of loop out of it.

On the right we fix a strip of the same length.

The next will be strips having a length of 12 cm, we glue them on the sides symmetrically.
Finally, we fix the remaining strips 10 cm long. This is how we made the first ray.

We need to glue 5 more rays from narrow strips.

For the center of the snowflake, cut out a small circle from cardboard. We glue the first rays on it, placing them opposite each other.

Then glue a pair of rays on top at the same distance from each other.


We fix the remaining blanks. Such a snowflake from thin strips turned out. We decided to decorate its center with a decorative rhinestone.

Snowflakes from openwork napkins

Paper lace napkins can be an excellent material for creating New Year's crafts. After all, you can make a variety of snowflakes from them. 2 MK on openwork snowflakes from Marina.

We show one of the options for creating such a New Year's decor in this new 2019 master class.


First, fold the white openwork napkin in half. Then cut along the marked fold line with scissors. Next, each half needs to be cut in half. As a result, we got an openwork napkin, cut into 4 equal parts.

Now from these quarters we will make rays for the future snowflake. To do this, first fold the workpiece in half, outlining the fold line.

Focusing on this line, we bend the half of the openwork part.

Then we symmetrically bend the second openwork half.

By bending both sides, we get a blank for the first ray of a snowflake.

This is how it looks from the front.

We continue on the same principle to make other rays.

And so we continue to work.

In order to get a snowflake, we needed 10 rays. If desired, the center can be decorated with a shiny rhinestone. We got such a New Year's snowflake from openwork napkins.

Now we propose to make a convex round snowflake from openwork napkins according to the 2018 master class. Very light and beautiful, suitable for children, see detailed instructions.

To create such a snowflake, we prepared:

    • openwork napkins (6 pieces are enough);
    • scissors;
    • glue;
    • decorative rhinestone for the middle.

We will make the snowflake itself from peculiar little bags. To create them, we first need to bend the openwork napkin in half. After that, cut it with scissors along the fold line.

Then fold each half in half again and cut. As a result, from one napkin we get 4 blanks.

Now we will use glue and connect the edges of this blank so that we get a bag.

In total, our snowflake will require 12 such bags.

We take another napkin, it will serve as the basis for our snowflake. On it we first glue 2 bags opposite each other.

Then we fix 2 more blanks in the other direction.

After that, we evenly distribute the remaining bags and glue them on an openwork napkin.

For the middle of the snowflake, we will use other blanks. To create them, it is enough to cut the napkin in half.

After that, we immediately make bags from the halves of openwork napkins.

In total, we make 4 such blanks.

We begin to glue them in the middle of the snowflake.

We evenly fix all 4 bags.

And we decorate the middle with a decorative rhinestone. Our snowflake from openwork napkins is ready.

Lush volumetric snowflake

Having 3 squares of paper, we will be able to make the New Year's snowflake shown in this Marina's master class.

To create it, let's take:

  • 3 squares of blue paper;
  • PVA glue;
  • decorative rhinestone.

Our craft consists of three elements, each of which will require one square blank. Let's start working on the creation of the first element. To do this, on the first blue square, we outline the transverse folds.

After that, fold the side edges of the square to the middle line.

Now let's fold the other sides.

We unfold one side as follows, give it the appearance of a trapezoid.

We do the same on the other side.

Now the corners of the resulting workpiece must be carefully straightened so that they become square.

We do this with all four corners.

In place of these squares, we make folds on both sides.

Next, we will straighten these folds, and give the workpiece itself the appearance of an elongated rhombus.

We must make such rhombuses from all four corners.

The resulting rhombuses need to be narrowed a little more, for this we perform folds on the sides.

This form was acquired by the workpiece after bending.

It remains to fold it as follows. To do this, turn the workpiece over to the other side and make folds along the transverse folds.

This is what it looks like from the other side.

From the remaining two squares we make similar blanks, after which we glue them together.

And in the center of the craft we place a decorative rhinestone. Such a voluminous snowflake turned out.

Snowflake curlicues

Basic elements are formed from simple strips of paper, which can be glued in any order. The number of options for such snowflakes tends to infinity, as in nature 🙂

Simple snowflake in the technique of false quilling

Our master class on creating an openwork snowflake using the “false quilling” technique will help you make a decoration from paper strips with a minimum of time and materials.

For the creative process, you need to prepare the following materials:

  • a sheet of white (or double-sided blue, silver) A4 paper;
  • simple pencil;
  • ruler;
  • eraser;
  • glue;
  • scissors.

How to make an openwork snowflake using the unusual technique of "false quilling"

The snowflake will consist of three types of elements, for the creation of which you will need strips 1 cm wide. Each type of element must consist of six parts, so we need to draw a sheet of 18 stripes. The first 6 strips should take the length of the entire sheet. Draw the next 6 strips perpendicular to the first. Draw the third type of stripes under the long ones, starting from perpendicular stripes.

Cut out strips of paper and fold them into three rows, depending on their length. In places where lines from a simple pencil are very visible, use an eraser.

To make it more convenient to work with the strips - wind them around the pencil and remove. Unlike the "" technique, our task is somewhat simplified, since we will not work with dense curls, but with their likeness.

Take a strip from the "short" row. To wrap the strip in a ring, wind it around your finger, close the edges and glue. Make the next turn a little weaker and glue again at the base. Do the third turn in this way. Cut off excess paper with scissors.

Do this with the other five short strips, making sure they are the same size.

Make exactly the same curls-rings with stripes from the middle row.

Bend the longest of the strips in half.

Wrap each end tightly onto a pencil and carefully remove the ring - you will get such double curls.

Press the smallest curl rings on both sides with your fingers, giving them an almond shape.

Press the middle ring-curls from the ends to the center to get a figure of a four-pointed star (rhombus).

Let's start collecting snowflakes. Connect the six almond-shaped parts together with glue. You will get a semblance of a flower.

Glue double curls between the "petals".

For convenience, glue double curls through one petal.

Then glue the remaining double curls.

Glue the "stars" at the junction of the double curls.

That's all, the voluminous openwork snowflake is ready!

Look how twisted, like lace!
Thanks to the three-dimensional elements, it is easier to fold such a snowflake than when creating a quilling figure. Small children can also cope with such creative work, if they are shown everything and help, if necessary. Older children will figure out the intricacies of work on their own. You can also come up with other elements and make a few snowflakes to decorate a festive spruce or interior. The main thing is desire, and everything will work out for you!

Snowflake from paper squares

What to prepare to create a snowflake from paper squares:

  • squares 8 * 8 cm, cut out of decorative double-sided colored paper (scrape paper);
  • scissors;
  • pencil;
  • glue;
  • rhinestones, sequins, sequins.

How to fold unusual snowflakes from ordinary paper squares

To work, you need two squares of the same size. If you want to make small snowflakes use small squares and vice versa.


Cut out squares of the desired size from decorative paper. It is best to use paper that has a pattern on one side and a base color on the other, then the snowflake will look original.

Fold the squares in half twice.


Straighten the squares, the main lines will appear on them.

Bend the edges to the midline, pressing the folds with your finger.


Do exactly the same on the other side. When you straighten the squares, you will see that a marking of small squares has appeared on them.

Cut with scissors along the central folds to the length of one square.

Bend the corners at each end as shown.


Glue the corners so that the patterned side is on top.

Glue one part of the snowflake to the other so that the rays do not overlap each other.

Decorate the resulting snowflake with self-adhesive rhinestones, or stick glitter with glue.


A beautiful curly snowflake made of squares is ready!

So, with very little effort, we got an unusual snowflake. Such beauty was created from two squares, which is unbelievable! You made sure that children can cope with such work, which means you can make many wonderful snowflakes and decorate them with rooms, gifts for loved ones and relatives, a festive fir tree or a Christmas wreath. And if you connect several snowflakes, you can make a garland, pendants or crown decoration for the holiday.

Volumetric snowflake from foamiran

How to make a brilliant volumetric snowflake, our regular author Marina will show in her new master class.

Snowflakes can be made from various materials. In this master class, we propose to make such a craft for the New Year 2019 from shiny foamiran. But you can also choose colored paper, there is only one folding technology.

To make such a snowflake, we prepared:

  • shiny (glitter) foamiran blue and silver;
  • scissors;
  • toothpick;
  • sharp knife;
  • ruler;
  • glue gun.

Step-by-step instruction

We decided that our snowflake would be two-color, so we use foamiran in two colors - blue and silver. If desired, this craft can be done in any one color. The snowflake will consist of separate elements - rectangles. First, we cut out 3 rectangles 2.5x14 cm in size from blue foamiran.

Now on each rectangle you need to make certain cuts. But first, let's use a ruler and a toothpick. From the wrong side, set aside 1 cm along the edges, draw small vertical lines with a toothpick. After that, the central part must be divided into 5 equal strips, the width of each of them will be 5 mm.

Next, you need a sharp clerical knife. With its help, along the ruler, we carefully make cuts along the marked lines, not reaching 1 cm from each edge. This is best done with something solid underneath (such as a cutting board).

This is how our blue rectangle with cuts looks like, see photo:

Similarly, we prepare other blanks. In total, 3 blue and 3 silver blanks will be used for our snowflake.

Now you can start creating the openwork rays of our snowflake. To do this, take one rectangle, carefully fold it in half, combining the edges.

By the same principle, using a glue gun, we create the rest of the shiny rays. There will be 6 of them in total.

For the base of the snowflake, cut out a small circle of silver foamiran. Glue the first blue ray on its wrong side.

The second (silver) ray is placed opposite the first.

Now between them with the help of hot glue we fix the blue and silver rays.

On the other hand, we also glue a couple of rays.

It remains to draw the middle of our snowflake. To do this, cut out a small circle from silver foamiran and glue it.

Our voluminous snowflake made of shiny foamiran is ready.

Snowflake from cardboard sleeves

New Year's decor can be created even from improvised materials. An example is a simple and interesting snowflake made of cardboard sleeves, and the detailed process of its creation is shown in Marina's master class. Such crafts can be done with children at home or in middle and older groups of kindergarten.

To make such a snowflake, we prepared:

  • cardboard sleeves from toilet paper or paper towels;
  • ruler;
  • pencil;
  • brush;
  • PVA glue;
  • sequins;
  • glue gun;
  • scissors.

The first step is to make blanks for the future snowflake. We flatten the cardboard blank, and then make markings at a distance of 1 cm.

Then we need a glue gun, warm it up. He will help us connect 6 cardboard elements in a circle. This will be the base of our snowflake.

To create other snowflake elements, we need to fold the cardboard strip in half.

In this way, we add the 12 remaining elements.

You should get 6 such blanks for a snowflake.

We begin to glue these blanks inside. We do this with a glue gun.

This is what our snowflake looks like at this stage.

It remains to decorate it and apply sparkles. To do this, first you need to coat the top of the craft with PVA glue, it is more convenient to do this with a brush.

Then sprinkle glitter on a sheet of paper.

We put a snowflake on this sheet with a smeared side down. If necessary, glitter can be sprinkled on separate places. We got such a snowflake from a cardboard sleeve.
