Do-it-yourself voluminous snowflakes made from plain paper for the New Year 2020 will help create a winter festive mood at home, school and at work. They can be saved and then re-hung on walls, doors, windows, attached to a chandelier, ceiling lights.
If you still think that such decorations are cut only from napkins and glued to the window, then you are mistaken. Most recently, I offered to make original ones. In general, there are many lessons, thanks to which real works of art are created. Simple master classes are also collected here, I hope you will like something and you will definitely take the time to craft.
Such a peculiar decor will stand out from the rest. Show your imagination when working, the more ideas you have, the brighter the decoration will turn out.
For manufacturing, a minimum set of materials and tools is required. Any paper is needed, office "Snegurochka" is also suitable. If you have colored sheets, then use them. Sequins, colorful sequins and rhinestones will help to complement the toy. You will also need scissors, a clerical knife, a stapler, adhesive tape, glue, a pencil, a ruler.
Volumetric paper snowflake for the New Year 2020 (schemes and templates for cutting)
How do you like this bright detail for decorating the interior? From the outside it seems that it is very difficult to make it. But, I assure you, you will spend your time and energy to a minimum, and creating interesting models, you will have fun. Choose the color you want: white, blue or, as in this case, yellow.
What you need:
- 2 circles or squares of bright double-sided paper;
- scissors;
- glue;
- beautiful cabochons or half beads.
How to make snowflakes step by step
Prepare 2 identical paper blanks. You can immediately cut a circle. Start folding it in half. The paper should be thin (80 g/mm2) so that you can easily cut multiple folded parts.
Make only 3 bends, constantly folding the newly formed figure in half. It will turn out such a segment, which represents the eighth part of the circle.
Hold the whole piece with the blank side down with your fingers. Cut off the top in a semicircle. Make 2 cuts of the same shape, gradually moving towards the base.
Prepare 2 identical blanks and unfold them. They will look like four-petal flowers. Each petal will be cut in the same way (since a symmetrical cut was used).
Glue in pairs, turning the top piece relative to the bottom piece by 45 degrees. Bright blanks for snowflakes resemble two-layer flowers.
On each petal, bend the cut out inner part, docking in the center. Close 4 processes on one side, the remaining 4 processes of the second layer - on the other. Only 8 rays.
Decorate the middle of the resulting models on both sides with any beautiful half-beads. Bright New Year's crafts can be hung on a Christmas tree, on a window or wall. They will not go unnoticed.
Here's another diagram for you. Follow me right along the steps and you will get the same beauty! The technique for making such paper masterpieces is quite simple. Since you will need simple office paper, and every home has such material, you can immediately get to work.
What do you need:
- 8 rectangles of white paper (or double-sided colored) - size 3 cm by 10 cm or other;
- scissors;
- glue;
- pom-pom centers.
Technique:
Cut out 8 identical rectangles. Bend them in pairs through 2 midpoints of opposite sides. To the central horizontal line, first direct one parallel side of the rectangle.
Then make a crease by bringing the side of the original shape back. Do the same with the second side. Fold towards the center, then fold. You will get a narrower rectangle with paths around the edges.
Glue the extreme strips (protruding in the folds along the edges) with glue. Fold each rectangle in half lengthwise, pressing down the entire length. It will turn out a kind of bag, which can be slightly stretched and made voluminous. Prepare all 8 parts.
Cut off 2 corners to get a sharp beam, cut the sides into triangles. Make all the prepared bags the same.
Start gluing all the details, laying one on top of the other, smearing along the middle line with a pencil.
Be sure to close the edges to get a fluffy round snowflake. Press down on the inside of the paper with your fingers.
Decorate the middles on both sides with blue pompoms. They look gentle, like snowballs. There are a lot of rays in the toy, now try to count how many of them together with the children.
No less interesting is the diagram below. It even seems to me that it is a little simpler than the previous ones. Here you need to fold the sheet, make cuts, unfold and then glue them, constantly turning the part over.
How to make a big paper snowflake from modules with your own hands
Such a “beauty” will certainly decorate the interior, and will also cheer you up. Flat options are usually glued to windows, and voluminous options are usually glued to walls, chandeliers, cabinets. I propose to consider the option of separate modules. All the details are easy to carry out, they will need a little.
What is necessary:
- 8 paper squares of any color with a side of 8-10 cm;
- glue;
- 1-2 beads.
Stages of work:
First we need squares of the same size. It is convenient to use note paper. Or take a regular A4 sheet and cut out 8 blanks.
Bend each square in stages along the first, second diagonal. Then bend the right-angled isosceles triangle with a selected height again, turn it into a square, raising the sharp corners to the right angle.
Turn the bent sharp corners outward, aligning with the sides. Expand the workpiece. In the original right-angled isosceles triangle, align the right angle with the middle of the base. Return the corner to its place. Now bend the triangle in height, leaving small wings.
In the resulting workpiece, bend the corner on the opposite side from the wings. Raise it so that it joins the midpoint highlighted by the previous bend. Squeeze this small triangle with your fingers, open the large part and push the corner inward. Mask the small triangle inside by putting the wing part back in place.
Prepare 8 identical parts.
Coat one wing with glue, close both, glue them. You will get rays of a snowflake, resembling petals with tongues in the center. With a stick or a toothpick, move the side parts to the sides so that all the details become voluminous. Model 8 rays.
Glue the beams together, smearing the triangular part selected during the bending process. Collect all the details in a pile.
Glue the last rays with glue, open the snowflake around the circumference and press down with your fingers or tweezers to fix it in this position. Decorate the middle (on one or both sides) with a bead.
Christmas snowflake fluff
This option is the easiest. Make a few of these decorations, and a New Year's atmosphere will appear in the house. You can also place crafts anywhere: hang them on threads to a chandelier, to cabinet handles.
Prepare:
- paper (2 sheets);
- scissors;
- glue.
How to do:
Bend the corner of the paper sheet to make a square and cut it out. Bend another sheet in half to make 2 rectangles, cut and cut a square from each part. From the remaining scraps, make a couple of small squares.
For making crafts, choose thin paper, it is easy to work with.
Take the largest square and fold it several times to make a triangle. Cut the shape to make 2 triangles. Make incomplete longitudinal lines with scissors, you should get a fringe. Do this with the rest of the squares, you will get 5 openwork blanks.
Drop glue into the center of the largest part, place a smaller semi-snowflake on it, press down with your fingers. Turn the craft over to the other side, do the same. Attach the remaining smallest parts on both sides with glue. If you have beads, rhinestones, glue them in the center. Fluff the finished product, and insert the thread from above. New Year's craft is ready.
If you have colored paper at home, then make snowflakes of different diameters in different colors, for example, from white and blue. Watch the tutorial video to get it right.
Large volumetric paper snowflake in 3D technique

Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDoAXSCPApY You will need:
- paper -5 sheets;
- glue stick;
- a pencil with a ruler;
- scissors.
How to do:
Fold the sheet in half along the short edge, but do not fold, but simply leave marks with your fingers. Now bend the edges of the leaf to the mark so that they protrude slightly, overlap. Spread glue on one of the resulting strips and glue the one that overlaps. You will get a voluminous figure.
Mark lines on the rectangle, stepping back from each edge by 2 cm, and then make oblong folds along these marks. Straighten the figure so that it becomes voluminous, and press the folds with your fingers, alternating them: one inward, the other outward.
Make new marks on the top of the rectangle, stepping back from the edges on each side by 9.5 cm and 5.5 cm. Draw a line to make a triangle. Fold the rectangle in half, glue and make cuts along 2 sides of the triangle. In the same way, make the remaining parts from 4 sheets of paper.
Now the snowflake needs to be glued. When the craft is ready, wait a bit for the glue to grab. Then unfold and secure the edges with glue. Decorate with sequins, sequins around the edges and center.
And here is another unusual snowflake. It turns out airy and very beautiful, which you just want to touch.
Source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBM5guBM1hI You will need:
- 2 paper sheets;
- scissors;
- glue stick;
- ruler with a pencil.
How to do:
Lay a sheet of paper with the long side facing you, fold the corner to make a square, iron the fold line and turn the sheet over to the other side. Bend the rectangle, cut it.
Fold the square in half on each side to make 4 small squares, cut them out with a knife. Make 2 more of the same small squares from a whole sheet of paper, there should be 6 of them.
Divide the square into 6 equal parts by marking with a pencil. Then fold the triangle so that the marks are on top, draw solid lines without reaching the edge, make cuts along the lines. Do the same for each square.
Glue the cut edges together, turning the workpiece over. You should get 6 identical branches. Glue all the branches together, the snowflake is ready.
When gluing parts, wait for time, do not rush. For gluing small hard-to-reach areas, pinch the paper with a pencil.

Step-by-step instructions for making an accordion snowflake
Another worthy decoration of the New Year's interior. Many ways have already been invented to model them, I want to try something new for myself. 
Materials for work:
- squares of paper measuring 8-10 cm in one, two or more shades - 14 pcs.;
- scissors;
- foamiran or cabochons - 2 pcs.;
- glue;
- ruler.
How to do:
The more squares you use, the more magnificent the accordion you will get. Choose any number of shades. Take 14 blanks.
In each square, make 2 parallel folds, glue the ends so that you get a tunnel. All double stripes must be the same width. Use a ruler. Bend and glue the ends in all 14 parts.
Make an additional 2 parallel bends in the resulting tunnels. If you have a narrow ruler, then you can put it in the center and bend the sides in each strip. Do the same for all stripes.
Press the bent side strips inward in each part. Spread the paper and press along the folded lines with your fingers along the entire length. Next, smooth out the resulting fragments. They will become the basis for the rays of the snowflake.
In the first ray, cut off one side with scissors, sharpening the corner. Also cut the sides with triangles. Using the first ray as a template, prepare all the other fragments.
While the carved stripes will still be squeezed on the sides. On one side, apply a thin thread of glue along the beam.
Attach the second beam from above, clearly aligning the details along the length, width, all the cut holes and outer corners should also match. Collect a stack of all the rays, each subsequent smearing with glue.
Coat the last beam with glue. Insert your index fingers into the first and last tunnels. Spread the snowflake around the circumference, gluing the edges. Mask the center with foamiran rounds on both sides or with some cabochons.

Paper snowflakes will be a great decoration for windows, walls or doors of the house. Especially during the winter holidays. In kindergartens and schools, children love to carve these ornaments and then decorate the fir trees. Needlework is an activity that can bring everyone together. Carving crystals is usually very fun and interesting. It is worth showing imagination, patience and perseverance, and the original artificial snowflakes will be ready. There are a lot of options for making fluffs. However, if you make snowflakes with your child, then you should start with the simplest ways. It is important to remember about caution and safety when involving children in the work on snowflakes. If you want to learn how to cut paper snowflakes step by step, read on.
Beginner Lesson
Snowflakes can be made from any materials at hand, but simple thin office fax paper and scissors are best. In addition to paper, crystals are good to make from white napkins, paper or shiny foil. The material is not so important, the main thing is a beautiful ornament.
There are a lot of techniques for making snowflakes, different in level of complexity, but it is better to teach children the simplest. More complex techniques are best mastered without children on their own.
To make such beauty, at the first stage you need to take a sheet of paper, fold it into a square and cut off the extra unnecessary remnants. The whole process, how to fold the leaf, is shown in the pictures below.
At the next stage, you need to fold the leaf diagonally five times, as a result, you get the shape of a triangle. It is important that the parts of the triangle lie on top of each other. Bend and cut off excess. The sequence of actions is visible in the photo:
After you unfold the sheet, you can see the octagon.
The diagrams below will simplify the process of cutting out a snowflake. These drawings are designed for a beginner and will be a good help in their work.
Good snowy day, friends. Why snowy? Today your warm windless houses will be filled with bewitching snowflakes. Precipitation indoors is unlikely, I will just reveal the secrets of creating various "ice" crystals. The methods are suitable even for those who failed to pacify the scissors during school labor lessons. Follow the tips, then do-it-yourself angular sloppy paper snowflakes will become sophisticated ornate works of art.
For a graceful carved craft, you will need 3 simple ingredients: sheets, sharp scissors, plus fantasy. The rules here are observed only when preparing the base, and the pattern can be absolutely anything: Christmas trees, stars, monograms, hearts, rhombuses, intricate lines.
I tell you how to cut snowflakes out of paper with your own hands in stages:
To a beginner, the scheme will seem complicated, confusing. But the principle of work will definitely come during the process, you just have to take a sheet and make 1-2 correct blanks. A short practice is the best way to figure out how to cut snowflakes out of paper with your own hands in stages.
The folded "semi-finished product" must be filled with a pattern. It is drawn in advance with a pencil or improvised - each craft will turn out to be unique. The cuts at the base correspond to the edges of the finished product, at the top of the triangle - to the middle, on the sides - to the "body".
Keep in mind: the sheet has been folded several times, all the notches made will be mirrored, duplicated in each segment of the circle.
Simple schemes for beautiful paper snowflakes
Is fantasy letting you down? Creativity inspires distrust? Use existing cutting patterns to create crafts. Snowflakes are created along lines kindly built by other people. The drawings are printed as a whole or redrawn on a folded triangle and unnecessary segments are cut off.
There are a lot of options for schemes. The surface of the improvised "icicles" is filled with abstract patterns, flowers, figures of people, animals, cartoons, fairy-tale heroes. Here are the easiest guides.
"Herringbone"
From the top to the middle of the base, draw a straight line 0.2-0.5 cm wide, focus on the size of the sheet. On both sides, draw several equidistant segments to the "equator" at an angle of 30 °. The resulting series of strips must be cut through one. Leave the vertical line intact, otherwise the product will fall apart in two.
"Angels"
A more complicated option, but the availability of the necessary scheme is the question “How to cut snowflakes out of paper with your own hands in stages?” removes instantly. Draw the outlines of 1-3 angels, if desired, complete the pattern with lines. Cut off unnecessary material. When you go around the contour of the figure, leave thin paper "bridges" - the character must stay on the body of the craft.
"Monogram"
Monogram "icicles" are amazing with a minimum of effort. The pattern is repeated throughout the product, it seems too intricate, difficult for a person to perform. Take the diagram, fill in the blank with any monograms you like or a lot of intertwined lines. It remains only to get rid of excess material and unfold the sheet.
See what other results you can achieve with. The process of creating products corresponds to simple principles - we translate the drawing, we use scissors. The result looks like a real frosty miracle.
Cut out beautiful paper snowflakes according to the schemes: 3 tips
My beautiful paper snowflakes did not start to turn out right away, at first I had to ruin several dozen sheets and sacrifice pride. Through countless trials and errors, a list of rules for creating crafts appeared. I use it when I plan to surprise others with the ability to control scissors, and I advise you to follow the points.
- Choose the right material. For crafts that are attached to windows, walls, it is better to take thin sheets. You can stop at notebooks, tracing paper, napkins. For hanging products, office paper, craft, whatman paper is suitable. The materials are thicker and hold their shape well. Only cutting them is more difficult, the tool will need a strong, sharp one.
- Spend more time on the product. The drawing doesn't have to be complicated. The main thing here is a lot of matching lines, notches. The more, the more complex the pattern seems, even if you cut through a dozen of the same stripes, like the Herringbone.
- Find scissors with a thin blade. The graceful tip of the tool will allow you to remove small dots, stripes - the craft will only benefit. Some consider nail scissors to be ideal, but they will not take thick paper. Look for tools to suit your needs.
Volumetric paper snowflakes
Volumetric crafts are less sophisticated than carved counterparts, but they look more attractive as a decoration of the space. Didn’t understand how to cut snowflakes out of paper with your own hands in stages? Try to master the options below.
"Fan"
The creation of the "Fan" can be entrusted to a child or a person far from creativity.
- Take some sheets. The more of them, the denser the craft will turn out.
- Position one vertically in front of you.
- Draw the sheet with horizontal equidistant stripes - optimally after 1-3 cm.
- Change the length of the indent - the final look of the product will be different from the previous ones.
- Next, fold the base with an accordion: bend the first strip to the left, the second to the right, the third to the left again - and to the end.
- Squeeze the accordion, fold it in half vertically. Glue the adjacent sides.
- Create several parts, connect to each other. Unusually beautiful paper snowflakes will turn out - a kind of pleated skirt.
"Flower"
The voluminous craft is ready, it remains only to hang it up. Manipulations in the process of creating the "Flower" are simple and understandable, the result is incredibly beautiful.
Are you going to fill the interior with a winter fairy tale? Simple creativity is still worth mastering. For me, creating "crystals" is a great way to relax, get distracted. Successful snowflakes make the fantasy work harder, come up with more and more intricate patterns, and tools make it more skillful to bend around thin lines. Try to captivate with household chores, New Year's mood, you are provided with comfort.
See you soon, share your successes and subscribe to blog updates in anticipation of new creative ideas.
Paper for cutting snowflakes, you can take office, colored paper for children's creativity, paper for origami.
It is convenient to cut out relatively large sections of the pattern with ordinary stationery scissors, for example, along the edge of a snowflake.
For cutting small details and complex patterns, it is better to use hairdressing scissors and nail scissors.
DIY snowflakes
So, paper and scissors are selected, now you can proceed to the first stage of making snowflakes - folding paper. To get a hexagonal blank from which a snowflake will subsequently be made, cut a square of the desired size from a sheet of paper.
How to get squares of different sizes from an A4 sheet
1. Fold a sheet of paper in an arbitrary way, but so that one part is larger than the other, and then cut along the marked line.
2. Fold most of the sheet along the bisector.
3. Cut off the excess paper - you get a square.
.jpg)
4. The blank for the big snowflake is ready.
5. Repeat steps 2-3 with the smaller part of the sheet remaining after step 1.
6. The result is a blank for the average snowflake.
7. With the trim remaining after step 6, repeat steps 2-3.
.jpg)
8. It turned out a blank for a small snowflake. Thus, from one sheet of A4 format, you can make blanks for three snowflakes of different sizes.
Piece sizes may vary slightly. They depend on how the original sheet was folded in step 1. In addition, a large snowflake can be obtained by cutting a square from a whole A4 sheet.
How to fold a hexagonal blank from a square
Now we need to fold a regular triangle from the square (in expanded form - a hexagon), from which a snowflake will be cut.
Method number 1
1. Fold the square in half.
2. Then fold the sheet "by eye" so that the angles indicated in diagram 3 are equal.
3. Turn the workpiece over to the other side.
4. The fold should go along the edge of the workpiece folded in step 2 of the layer, and the top edge should coincide with the left fold.
5. Cut off the excess paper evenly.
Method number 2
1. Fold the square diagonally.
2. Mark the middle of the leg of the resulting triangle (side).
3. Connect the top (right angle) of the triangle with the intended midpoint of the leg. Mark the fold line and again expand the workpiece to a triangle.
4. Now mark the middle of the base of the triangle.
5. Connect the middle of the leg with a point lying on the marking line obtained in step 3. The fold line should pass through the middle of the base of the triangle.
6. Connect the base of the triangle to the fold line obtained in step 5.
7. Cut off excess paper along the indicated line.
Advice
Choose the size of the hexagonal blank (large, small or medium) yourself based on the paper you use for cutting, the complexity of the snowflake, and your scissor skills.
Cut out the snowflake
1. Fold the regular triangle (unfolded hexagon) obtained by one of the methods proposed above in half. Perform all actions very accurately so that later you do not cut through the layers of paper folded crookedly with scissors. Make sure that the top circled in a circle (see diagram) is in the center of the future snowflake.
2. Start cutting. In the diagrams, areas of paper that need to be removed are indicated in bright pink. First form the outer edge of the snowflake. To do this, cut out the pattern on the top side of the workpiece, as shown in the diagram.
3. Then cut out the pattern on both sides of the workpiece. The last to cut out small elements inside the workpiece and near an acute angle.
4. The snowflake is ready, it remains only to carefully unfold it.
We will cut out all the presented snowflakes according to this description, starting from point 2, when the regular triangle is already folded in half. The fact is that all snowflakes are cut out in the same way, only the pattern changes, so we did not repeat the description of the work many times, but limited ourselves to exact diagrams.
The process of making each snowflake consists of 3-5 sequential schemes, on which the removed sections of paper are marked in black. The last diagram, which shows a snowflake fully cut out but not yet unfolded, is also a template. You can “by eye” draw a pattern from it onto your workpiece or transfer it using tracing paper and carbon paper.
Advice
The snowflake should look like a graphic image with a well-read pattern, so follow all stages of work very carefully and accurately.
