Well, what a New Year without snowflakes, garlands and balls. And how great if, on the eve of the holiday, you make these New Year decorations yourself! We have been able to cut ordinary snowflakes from childhood, but how to make a snowflake not flat, but three-dimensional? Let's tell you now!
It is necessary
- Paper, of any color, preferably not quite thin, but also not thick, so that it is easy to cut it, and the shape of the snowflake is preserved longer (thick paper can be used if the snowflake is very large)
- ruler;
- simple pencil;
- scissors;
- stapler.
Instructions
Step 1
Cut six paper squares.
Bend each of the six squares diagonally in half. We get triangles. On each of the triangles we draw cutting lines. There should be three of them on two isosceles sides.
Then we cut the marked lines with scissors, starting from the edge and not reaching a little bit (leaving a couple of millimeters) to the middle. Expand the triangles and place them face up in front of us.
Step 2
We fold the first inner row of strips with a tube and fasten it with a stapler. Expand the snowflake to the other side and do the same with the second row of stripes. We connect them and fasten them with a stapler.
We get from a square a figure with four connected stripes
Step 3
We do the same with five squares as with the first. Then we connect the three parts of the snowflake with a stapler together in the middle. Then we fasten the second three parts.
We connect the two parts together with a stapler.
We fasten the places of contact of each separate part of the snowflake, so that the snowflake becomes whole.
