How to Make Snowflake Pictures
Using
Simple Paper
Want to know more about the snowflake craft?
Learn how to make snowflake pictures by simply following my detailed
step-by-step instructions below!
The first steps:
- Choose
a snowflake pattern of your taste from my
collection
- Print it out and cut it out
from the
same paper
or
- Copy
(draw) the pattern on a tracing paper and cut the picture out
from
there. (In this way, you can use your first pattern later on again and
again)
When you have the square pattern, do the
following:
- Fold
the square paper in half so that you'll get a triangle
- Fold
the triangle in half
- Then fold it in half
again
- Now,
fold the small triangle into three equal parts. (Look at the diagram below for
more help!)
TIP: Cut the difficult parts of the picture |
Look at the helpful diagram! |
Important:
Use a small and very sharp scissors, because you have to cut thick layers of paper. |
 |
Cut
off the needless pieces as shown on the diagram. Now,
you'll start to make the actual
snowflake.
- Cut off the grey colored
pieces. Do
not cut into the white, because that will make up the body of the
snowflake.
- When you've finished this,
carefully fold it out and look at the beautifully sophisticated design
which looks like a piece of lace. Isn't it amazing?
- To
make the finished snowflake flat, put a book or any heavy thing on it
and leave it like that for an hour or so.
Tip: Make
sure that the
book won't crumple your picture, because it can completely ruin your
entirework.
- Now,
it's your turn to use your creativity to decorate your home with the
finished snowflake. :-)
Hint: a
window or even the Christmas tree would look beautiful with
snowflakes hanging it
