Paper snowflake

According to the proposed master class everyone will be able to make a paper volumetric and openwork snowflake, which will become a decoration of the New Year interior. To make such a 3D snowflake you will need a sheet of A4 paper, scissors, pencil, ruler, PVA glue.

First, mark out strips of white paper with a width of 5 mm and a length of 21 cm. Mark them with a pencil along the short side of the sheet. You will need 12 such strips for a snowflake.

Cut them out with scissors.

For convenience in subsequent work, mark the center with a fold.

Now we begin to create the first blank. To do this, put a little glue on the middle of one of the strips.

Take another strip of paper and glue it perpendicular to the first one, aligning their centers.

Continuing to assemble the blank, glue two more strips vertically (on the sides of the middle one), creating a weave in the center.

Do the same with the other two strips, gluing them horizontally, not forgetting to align the middle.

In the middle of our blank, you should get a weave.

The second blank is made in the same way.

Now take one of the blanks and start forming the snowflake elements. To do this, connect the edge strips with glue, as shown in the photo.

Repeat the same with the other strips.

On the second blank, do the same thing.

To create a snowflake, you need to connect them with their convex sides facing outward and with a 45 degree offset. At first, you just place them on top of each other.

Now the straight rays of one workpiece must be glued together with the element of the other workpiece. It is important that the gluing is at a distance of approximately 1.5 cm from the edge of the straight ray.

In this way you need to glue all 8 rays of the snowflake.

You can make a snowflake according to this master class from paper of any color.

Such voluminous snowflakes made with their own hands will be a good New Year decoration.
