The way to cut out these snowflakes

1. For work it is desirable to take enough thin colored paper, but it should be strong, so that it does not tear in the process of laying out the workpiece. Scissors are also suitable small and sharp enough.

2. To create a blank, cut out a square or rectangle of the desired size from the paper, then fold the resulting shape twice in half. Fold the resulting small square again, but at an oblique angle.

You'll have a shape like this:

3. You can trim the outer rough edge of the blank at will, and also make notches. For example, cut the outer side of a triangle in a semicircle. Cut two symmetrical squares on the sides and make two longitudinal notches.

4. Carefully unfold the paper without damaging the fine lines.

5. The rounded blank will have angled spikes that can be curved and secured under the top layer of paper.

6. Colored patterns will also look beautiful on a white background if you turn the snowflake backwards.
