Before the New Year there are only 29 days, so it's time to start active preparation. Today we tell you how to make an unusual 3D snowflake out of paper or ribbon!
This year winter came unexpectedly early, and the first snowflakes have already circling in the cold air. Christmas and New Year celebrations can not be imagined without a snowflake: white, blue, silver. They lead a festive dance tunes sounds.
Snowflakes are not only flat, and even volume. And they need the white, light, silver or bright paper, tape (dense enough, a width of about 1 cm), scissors, glue and hot glue gun.
For a beautiful snowflake will cut 12 identical pieces of 18 centimeters of tape each. Of the two strips to make a "+", the middle of the glue cementing. Two more tape glue above and below the middle horizontal. Two more are arranged vertically on the right and left of the middle vertically, twisting turns "on" and "above" the rest.
We make two identical blanks, repeating the previous steps. Then glued together at the outer side of each belt so that they form a silhouette similar to drop.
The same is done with the second workpiece. Two modules put one above the other, the lower straight portions of ribbons to pull up the top of the upper part and pass down. Attach straight sections to the top of the "drops", cut off the excess. From the remnants of tape will do a loop for hanging decorations, snowflake is now ready to take its place on the fur-tree.
The same design of other materials look very differently, depending on whether to use paper or thick decorative fabric. And even a snowflake of dark paper has a mystical appearance.
Special attention should be modular snowflakes. They are assembled from separate identical parts glued together. The photo can be seen step by step process for producing such a module. Getting started with a square, folded in half diagonally. Making the slits as shown. Expand the square and glue the cut shape, alternately bending angles in opposite directions. For one snowflake need six modules.
Another interesting snowflake module-cones assembled from rectangular strips measuring 12 x 2 cm with a cut at 45 ° angles. All you need are six such strips. We displace them in the form of cones so that the ends overlap each other, then stapled by a stapler.
Installation finished cones make a circle out of construction paper, gluing the parts with hot glue. Decorate "snow rays" sequins, colored stones, beads, glue in the center of a large silver round beads.
Another simple and budget option - fluffy snowflake made of several layers. The largest is located below, the subsequent cut of the pattern is the same, but with a decrease in the size of the previous. Typically, only three - four layers. Very beautiful snowflake obtained using a special stapler for scrapbooking. Perforation corners at all layers of the same, folded the corners of the openwork square, as in the photo.
