Step-by-step creation of snowflakes from paper

1. First, you need to buy colored paper and decide on the size of snowflakes. The best option is to cut out four crafts from one A4 sheet, but you can make snowflakes larger or, on the contrary, smaller.

2. Cut a square from the prepared sheet of paper with the required side length. Fold the piece in half. Then place the blank with the blind side facing down. Find the center and fold both sides, forming an angle of 60 degrees. Cut off all the excess to get an isosceles triangle. All subsequent cut-out blanks are prepared in the same way.

3. Make triangular, zigzag and straight cuts in all the pieces, using your imagination.

4. All the snowflakes will turn out after the paper is unfolded. But each one will have cut corners.

5. In each of the obtained snowflakes, randomly curve the obtained parts, showing the reverse side.

6. The reverse side, on the other hand, will show a pink ornament on a white background.
