Time passes... It brings us closer to the December days and, of course, to the main holiday - the New Year. I continue the theme of decorating the house for this significant date. And again we will talk about snowflakes.
These are not, but the simple ones that we used to decorate our house for the holiday since childhood. In my opinion, snowflakes can cut out everything. If only I had some suitable paper and scissors. And, of course, fantasy. What are they used to create this beauty from? They use napkins, colored and white paper, foil, glossy magazines... You can’t list everything.
All family members participate in this simple task. After all, you need a lot of snowflakes. And stick it on windows, and on cabinets with doors, and even hang it on strings or rain from a chandelier and the ceiling. It is noteworthy that although there are many figures, they are all different. In all this heap of paper, there are no two identical snowflakes. They will differ in size, shape, and pattern.
It’s like you’re cutting it out according to a template, but you still add something of your own—here you cut out a triangle, and here you sharpen the edges. And each figure is beautiful and unique.
Well, arm yourself with scissors, take paper. You and I will carve these delicate and tender decorations.
I remember my childhood... I was about five years old. My mother and I were diligently preparing for the New Year. And they cut out decorations for windows and a Christmas tree from album sheets. At that time the sheets were dense. It was a little difficult to cut out graceful snowflakes from them.
I was given a simpler task - to make this square-shaped decoration. This is easier, because you only had to fold the square two or three times. It didn't take much effort to cut out arcs, stripes, and triangles. The more cuts you make, the more beautiful and delicate the snowflake.
We glued them to the windows, unfolding the square so that it resembled a rhombus. This way the figure looked more advantageous.
Here are options for square snowflakes. To cut them out, it is better to take white or colored sheets of office paper. Cut out a square from paper. If it is large, then the decoration will be larger in size. The smaller, the snowflake will be small. Fold the square according to the diagram. You can repeat the same drawing. And cut it out.
And here are some templates for folding a square sheet twice.
Transfer the pattern to the folded triangle. Now cut off the areas that are shaded. Unfold. And the first snowflake is ready.
Repeat all previous steps. And then your second square-shaped snowflake appeared.
Add more arc cutouts, add triangles somewhere. Cut out the third decoration.
The more cuts you make, the more delicate the figure will be. Add something of your own. And the fourth snowflake will be better than in the picture.
Now fold a sheet of paper three times. I suggest using the diagram. Another fold makes the snowflake lacy and graceful.
And here are several options for snowflake patterns that are obtained using this method of folding paper.
Transfer the design to a triangle folded three times. Cut it out. The patterned decoration can be glued to the window.
Snowflakes are good because you can make deep cuts or very tiny ones. The holes can be of various shapes. Sometimes you make a bunch of different patterns and wonder what will happen. The result will always be amazing.
We practiced using simple templates. Now let’s cut out more complex square snowflakes. Use the options provided.
So we have mastered the technique of cutting out square snowflakes. Now you can safely come up with your own schemes. Apply arcs, semicircles, rectangles, small and large triangles to the folded triangle. Imagine! And you will get a decoration that no one else has. This will be the one and only snowflake.
Teach this to your children. They will cope perfectly with such a simple task. And using scissors together is more fun!
Snowflake stencils for cutting out paper for windows 2019
Windows are the main objects in the house that we decorate for the New Year holiday. Strewn with snowflakes, images and characters, they create a scene effect that attracts the eye. Both in the apartment and from the street. And decorating them is a pleasure. You begin to feel like a designer or an artist, a miracle worker.
What to do when you can’t come up with a pattern and cut out snowflakes yourself? There is always a way out. To do this, there are many stencils and templates that you just need to print on a printer.
What is the difference between a stencil and a template?
A stencil is a sheet of paper with a design cut out inside it. By placing a sheet on the surface, you can apply many similar patterns. Since we are talking about snowflakes, they can be applied through a stencil with a sponge dipped in diluted toothpaste or gouache.
A template is a ready-made drawing cut out of paper, which is either immediately glued, as in the case of snowflakes on a window, or it can be traced many times if you need to make a large number of identical pictures. In the latter case, it is better to make the template from thick paper or cardboard.
If you don't have a printer, that's no problem either. A sheet of paper can be attached to the monitor.
A bright screen will create a translucent effect, and the drawing can be transferred to paper using any felt-tip pen. I do not recommend using a pencil or pen. They are sharp and can damage the screen.
I have prepared a selection of stencils and templates for you. There are more than 60 pieces in the collection. With their help, you will quickly cope with decorating windows for the New Year. View all images. Select the ones you like. When printing, decide on the size of the decoration. Print it out.
Printed or translated stencils must be carefully cut out with scissors.
Some use sharp nail scissors when cutting out small internal parts, some use craft scissors, some use special knives.
In this kind of work, I pick up handmade “herons”. They have pointed ends and cut well.
When cutting, try to use scissors to remove the black outline of the template and the same color fill of the stencil. So that the products are obtained without a dark outline.
Now the finished snowflakes can be glued to the window. Of course, I want to do this more carefully, so that after the holiday you don’t have to scrub away stubborn stains for a long time.
To glue light piercings, you can use milk, soap solution, toothpaste, or liquid paste.
In our house, snowflakes are held on by soapy water. They are made from office printing paper. This paper is quite durable. We moisten a bar of soap with water and soap the figure on one side. Apply the wet part to the glass. And the snowflake doesn't fall. How do you attach decorations? Write in the comments.
Snowflakes-ballerinas made of paper (templates can be printed)
How graceful and fragile the ballerinas are... They seem incredibly fabulous, fantastic to us, like fluttering fairies. Their dance is truly magical and enchanting. It fascinates and fills you with spirituality and a sense of miracle.
Fill your home with these feelings by decorating it with delicate ballerinas in lacy snowflake skirts.
These crafts are reminiscent of. This effect is created by a carved skirt on the fragile figure of a dancer. Replenish your set of New Year's decorations with beautiful, gentle and quivering fairy ballerinas.
Making them is not difficult. Download the templates to your computer. There is a large selection of dancer figures. There are thirty of them in total. Find the ones you like best.
Select the contours of the dancers you like. Print sheets with them on a printer or transfer them from the monitor by attaching a sheet of paper to it.
Carefully cut out the shapes with scissors. Nail or craft scissors are suitable for holes. They have sharp ends. And they are convenient for cutting patterned reliefs.
Now choose the most beautiful snowflakes from the ready-made ones already available. Or make new ones. Fold the square sheet according to the pattern. Cut off any protruding corners.
I made three snowflakes. I drew a pattern with a pencil. Removed unnecessary things. Here's what I got.
Cut a hole in the center, the diameter of which should correspond to the width of the paper doll’s waist.
There are several options for wearing a skirt on a ballerina. You can carefully bend it along the length and insert the figure into the snowflake. You can also make a small cut from the center cutout. Then it is easier to put the doll into clothes. Or you can cut the snowflake in one place from the bottom edge to the very center, and then glue the cut.
Glue the skirt to the doll's waist on one side and the other with literally one drop of glue. Straighten it out to make it look fuller.
Tie a string to the ballerina's arm or waist. Now you can hang it on the Christmas tree.
If you make the thread longer, then first put one or two snowflakes on it, and then tie the figurine. Make several of these garlands and hang them at different heights. It will look great.
Ballerinas will spin with any movement, creating the feeling of falling snow. That's very beautiful!
And I want to make a gift for the kids. Colored cute ballerina girls especially for them. Once upon a time they were drawn by artist Elena Zapesochnaya for the magazine “Funny Pictures”.
Help the kids with crafts. Such playful little girls will look great on the Christmas tree.
Video on how to make a snowflake with your own hands - easy and simple
When you look at beautiful lace snowflakes on the Internet that are created by the skillful hands of craftswomen, you involuntarily wonder how to achieve the same result. Doing this kind of work seems super difficult. In fact, everything is much simpler than we think. Openwork beauty is made up of repeated repetition of the same pattern. Zigzags and wavy squiggles make the figure irresistible. Watch in the video how easy it is to create such a charming decoration.
Let's repeat all the steps of the wizard. In the right places we stop the roller and fold, draw, cut. As you can see, I repeated step by step everything that happened on the screen.
Hooray! Happened! We were able to make the same beautiful snowflake. So we did it.
How to cut beautiful snowflakes for the New Year (step-by-step patterns for beginners)
The main fans of creating beautiful New Year's decorations are, of course, children. Especially the girls. But the boys are not far behind.
My seven-year-old grandson watched me work on this article for a long time. He saw how I cut out snowflakes and was amazed at how gradually a sheet of paper with the help of scissors turns into something patterned and carved. First he asked how I did it, and then he also took the scissors.
For now he is making them according to patterns, but I think soon he will have special, boyish snowflakes: the faces of animatronics, transformers, or some other modern cartoon characters will be cut out inside them.
But for starters, the diagrams were very useful. There is no need to invent something. You repeat the steps, transfer the pattern to the folded figure and use scissors. It's quite simple.
Let's make another batch of snowflakes using them. The method of folding paper when making these products is different.
When creating the first snowflakes, we fold a sheet of paper into triangles three times. First, bend the square diagonally. We fold the resulting figure three more times until we get a figure that resembles an arrow. We apply a pattern on one side, and then cut out the shaded parts. And it turns out to be a snowflake.
The next craft is made according to the same pattern. Only the pattern is different. Redraw it onto the blank (it is simple) and remove the parts with shading. The second product is ready.
And another snowflake, made according to the same scenario. Fold the sheet of paper several times. Copy the pattern. It's a little more complicated. But it's not scary! And cut it out. You will get such a beautiful snowball.
Folding a sheet of paper in the next two options differs from the previous ones. First, fold it twice into triangles. And then you need to roll up the little bag. We transfer the ornament. We cut off unnecessary things. And now the decoration is ready.
The fifth snowflake folds in the same way. Let's redraw the pattern. Carefully cut out the multilayer part. We unfold it, smoothing out the rays of the product. And here we have another copy.
Using the same scheme, we will make another version of a beautiful decoration. Fold a sheet of paper step by step. Let's redraw the ornament. Let's cut it along the lines. Now we unfold the figure. And here we have another snowflake.
Now let's move on to another group of decorations. Fold the square sheet in half. And then we bend the two ends of the triangle obliquely. And we transfer the drawing. This cutting method is very suitable for children. There aren't many layers here. Therefore, you do not need to put a lot of effort when cutting. Children's hands can easily cope with this task.
Let's create the first snowflake. Let's fold the sheet according to the diagram. Draw a pattern with a pencil or felt-tip pen. We take scissors and remove all the shaded parts. Carefully unfold the paper. And now the snowflake is ready.
Let's add a small Christmas tree to the next pattern. Let's cut out the outline. And the craft will look completely different.
Well, one Christmas tree is probably not enough. Let's draw two Christmas trees in the pattern. Let's add some squiggles and lines. And cut along the contour. We open the folded figure. And a small forest appeared in the outline of a snowflake.
We practiced cutting according to patterns. Three ways to fold paper, different details in the patterns - and the crafts look different.
View and download the file. Here you will find even more schemes and patterns for snowflakes.
You can easily prepare a lot of carved snowflakes and decorate the windows in your house with them.
There is very little time left to prepare for the New Year. And there is still so much to do. Well, at least we sorted out the snowflakes. We cut a lot of them. Now our windows will be elegant, New Year’s. This makes the house both cozy and festive.
New Year is coming soon and many children want to learn how to cut out beautiful ones. When a snowflake is cut out, children begin to think and be creative in the cutting process. They run to the window and look for a snowflake there with different shapes that the frost has drawn.
Therefore, having correctly learned how to bend a sheet of paper, you can draw the pattern (diagram) you see yourself and cut out many snowflakes according to the drawn template. You can exchange your templates and schemes of snowflakes over the Internet not only between classmates, but also between cities.
Today we will bend a sheet of paper correctly, draw different diagrams (templates) and cut out a snowflake with our own hands.

How to cut very beautiful snowflakes - video
The article is finished, but your fascinating journey into the world of New Year's snowflakes continues in your fantasies and searches
Looking for a new hobby? How about some paper cutting? Surely someone was smiling ironically now. Absolutely in vain: artistic carving is incredibly beautiful. We were convinced of this by opening the book “The Magic of Paper”. See for yourself.
“You can cut out paper even without drawing ability,” says Louise Firschau.
There are a million ready-made templates: just print them out. Or come up with your own design on your computer: install the free design software Inkscape, which you can use to create basic templates.
How to start cutting
Intricate plots and ornate contours - each picture seems to have been created by a skilled artist. But believe me, you can easily do it yourself. All you need is desire and a few tools.
Choose a round one: it’s more convenient to work with a holder that looks like a pencil than with a flat one. You will understand this when you start making rounded cuts and feel the knife turning slightly in your hand.
Surgical blades
The choice of blades on the market is huge: it's up to you. At first it may seem too flexible and unpredictable. But once you get used to it, you will understand that they are very convenient for making round cuts, and the tip is great for cutting out small parts.
Self-healing cutting mat
You don't need expensive branded cutting mats. Take a regular rubber one - after a few weeks of heavy use they all look the same.
It is better to have two mats: one for cutting, the other for gluing. If you do everything on one, it will get dirty with glue and could ruin the next cut.
Paper
- Don't use office paper: the lines will be uneven and the results will be unimpressive.
- Use special paper for cutting or experiment with thick paper. For example, you can take textured watercolor or mulberry.
- Do not use paper thicker than 170 g/m²: it is very difficult to cut and your hand gets tired quickly.
Cutting template
Where to start? We offer you this cute picture from the book “The Magic of Paper”: it will decorate any home.
- Before you take on your first template, practice simply cutting paper. Understand how hard to press on the blade so that it doesn’t break, your hand doesn’t start to hurt, and the cut turns out “clean.” Apply gentle pressure to the blade and carefully cut through the paper. Slowly make several lines, maintaining the same pressure along the entire length.
- Start cutting from the most difficult area or from the place that causes you the most doubts. That way, if you make a mistake, you won't have to redo too much.
- Take your time. Change the blade every 10 to 15 minutes and pause regularly to relax your head and neck. It is much more convenient to work on an inclined surface - for example, on a drawing board.
- Pencil marks on the reverse side do not need to be erased. No one will see them anyway, and using an eraser can damage the paper. Always cut from the inside out.
- Do not remove scraps of paper while working, even if you really want to.. Leave everything in place - this will stabilize the tenderloin. The sleeve/bracelet/cat's tail will have nothing to catch on.
- When you finish cutting, do not push the paper scraps out with your finger, but remove them with a knife. This way the paper will not tear, and you will see in which places you need to go through the blade again.
Imagine how surprised your friends will be and how delighted your acquaintances will be when they see the pictures you create. And, besides fame, you will find real pleasure in the creative process, when an ordinary template turns into a charming and charming masterpiece.

Now I will tell you step by step about making a flower template (stencil) for cutting.
It seems like the Internet is at hand, but we will need to cut out flowers for paper garlands or to decorate a wall newspaper, and the required form of templates is nowhere to be found.
This means that we will make a template (stencil) on our own. In addition, this lesson is exactly on my topic: the development of fine motor skills of children’s hands and eye. Let's not miss such a wonderful opportunity.
A flower can have a different number of petals - cruciferous plants have four, buttercups have six, jasmine has eight. But the Rosaceae have five (or multiples of five), and the Rosaceae have authority. So we will make exactly the five-petal template.
This flower fits into a circle.
Oh! But we don’t have a compass at hand.
No problem - I’ll get the circle by circling the edge of my favorite rescue cup. We sculpted it, we gave the elephant tea from it, and now she is the sponsor of the flower circle.
But. But when working with a circle, we must start from the center. Where is he here? I put a point by eye and check whether all radii are equal. Oh yes I am! - almost ten.
I’ll draw the middle of the flower - a small circle and by eye I’ll divide the circle into five sectors. And without a protractor - again, by eye.
Now let’s check how accurate our eye is: we’ll make an angle out of paper and use it to check whether all five angles are equal.
So, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll correct it. Now let's add a petal to each sector.
This is a sketch, we just want to decide on the shape of the petals. Let's say it's teardrop-shaped. I bend the same corner of paper in half and draw half a petal.
I cut it out - here is a template for a separate petal.
I apply and trace. Now it is important to rotate the picture several times, carefully comparing the petals to make sure that everything is fine and there are no distortions. I made the drawing on paper.
And the template must be strong and rigid. Yeah, I'll have to cut it out and trace it onto cardboard.
Now I turn again and see if it’s level. Otherwise, with all these cuttings and tracings, errors inevitably arise.
Look, the student drew a flower well, but he was in a hurry, he cut it out carelessly, and the template turned out to have different petals. That's it - quality control is needed at every stage of work!
So, I double-checked my template and now it’s time to get to the flowers. Let's re-read it first and try to distribute the flowers sparingly across the sheet. On a standard A4 sheet I got it like this.
One of the simple and very beautiful decorations is a butterfly made of paper. This craft can be used to decorate gifts, cards, and even rooms. Today we will give you instructions on how to make a paper butterfly, and also show you photos of finished products and, of course, the most common patterns.
How to cut a butterfly from paper: an easy way
Prepare paper, scissors, fishing line or strong thread, glue, plasticine.
1) Draw simple patterns on paper using paints or crayons.
2) To make the upper wings of a butterfly, cut out a square of paper or foil with a side length of 15 cm. For the lower wings you will need a smaller square, with a side length of 12 cm.
3) Fold the large square in half diagonally, bend it back and make a fold 5 mm higher than the original one. Thus, bend the sheet so that it turns into an accordion.
4) Take the second square for making the lower wings and do the same with it as with the first square.
5) Fold the upper and lower wings into an accordion and press them together, wrap them in the middle with fishing line, wire or thread, and secure with a knot. Spread the four wings, trim the corners with scissors, giving them a rounded shape.
6) To make the body of a butterfly, you can use plasticine: mold an elongated body and attach wings to it. Or cut out two parts of the body from paper, put the wings between them and glue them together.
Postcard in the form of a butterfly
You can make crafts from ready-made paper butterflies. The process is very interesting and exciting. Let's look at an example of how to cut a butterfly out of paper and make a postcard out of it.
Materials:
- decorative cardboard;
- checkered piece of paper for template;
- glue;
- scissors;
- pencil.
1) Fold the template sheet in half, draw a butterfly on it and cut it out.
2) Trace the template on cardboard folded in half, placing the upper parts of the wings on the fold.
3) Cut, but do not touch the fold. The result was a blank postcard.
4) Bend the front part in half along the line of separation of the upper and lower wings.
5) Cut out a butterfly from cardboard with a different design and another smaller one to decorate the card.
6) Glue the butterfly, cut out according to the template, to the front of the card, just below the fold line so that the card can be placed.
7) All that remains is to decorate the card. Ready.
Making an openwork butterfly
Templates and stencils are used to cut out openwork butterflies. The principle is very similar to making New Year's snowflakes: you need to fold a sheet of paper and cut out half a butterfly along the drawn line.
Materials you will need:
- colored paper;
- old postcards;
- old magazine pictures;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- cardboard;
- Double-sided tape.
1) Print a butterfly stencil and cut it out of cardboard.
2) Cut out butterflies from colored paper and postcards.
3) Decorate the room with butterflies by sticking them to some objects with double-sided tape.
To stick openwork butterflies on glass, you need to cut them out of thin office paper. Thick glossy or matte photo paper is suitable for making butterfly pendants. Thus, the structure of the paper itself will tell you how to cut a beautiful butterfly from paper.
1) Draw a butterfly on a sheet of paper or you can use an outline drawing.
2) Place a sheet of paper on the plywood and secure it with tape or thumbtacks so that it does not move.
3) Using a breadboard knife, carefully cut out the design along the lines. To cut the outer contour, you can use scissors; the inner contour is cut only with a knife.
4) If pencil lines are visible, they need to be erased.
5) Cut out the outer contour after cutting out the inner one. If you do the opposite, it will be much more difficult to cut out patterns on the wings.
This technology does not require any skills, you only need patience and accuracy. Insanely beautiful works are presented in the photo:
