Everyone is happy for the new year, especially children. They look forward to the New Year holidays, and you can brighten up the anticipation by keeping your hands busy with something interesting and useful, for example, making decorations for windows or curtains in the form of beautiful snowflakes. But children’s little hands are not always able to cope with the intricate patterns on snowflake templates; such fingers need something simpler, and we have that something. These are diagrams of simple snowflakes, suitable for preschoolers, or first-graders. The most important thing is to intelligently bend the workpiece, understanding where the middle of the snowflake will be, and then all that remains is to trim the edge as necessary.
To begin with, it is better for the child to practice on plain paper, it is more pliable. And when you learn how, you can start making light and translucent snowflakes from paper napkins. It’s not worth practicing on napkins, it’s more difficult to bend the workpiece evenly, the edges move relative to each other and the child will not be satisfied with the craft, practice is important here.
Classic snowflake:
If you also cut off the sharp corner, you will get a hole in the center of the snowflake.
Ice snowflake:
Also as if made from ice crystals, but with a hole in the center:
These are such simple and easy to make snowflakes. If it doesn't work, try again, and you will definitely succeed :)
Everyone wants to create an atmosphere of joy and magic in their home before the New Year. The New Year tree and garlands have become integral attributes of the holiday, as well as snowflakes cut out of paper with your own hands. It’s not only beautiful, but also interesting; you can involve not only children, but also adults in this activity, so that everyone can contribute to creating the New Year’s mood.
There is nothing difficult about cutting out a snowflake from paper with your own hands; even small children can learn how to do it. Even if you have never cut out snowflakes from paper, our article will help you cope with this task. We have prepared everything for beginners so that they can correctly cut flat and three-dimensional paper snowflakes step by step; there are diagrams, instructions and training videos. First, try cutting the lightest one.
Tools and materials for beautiful paper snowflakes can be found in every home.
We will need:
- Paper.
- Scissors.
- Round plate.
- Colored paper (optional).
- Pencils (plain and colored).
Cutting out snowflakes
There are several simple step-by-step ways to cut out a Christmas decoration from paper. Let's consider first The easiest way.
You need to take a sheet of white or colored paper, put a round plate on top of it and trace it with a simple pencil. Carefully cut out a circle along the contour. Then the resulting circle needs to be folded in half, then in half again. There is a preparation. Now it’s the turn of the scissors. You need to cut off all unnecessary parts from the finished template. You can first draw your intended design on paper or fantasize while you’re at it. Unwrap the finished snowflake and hang it wherever your heart desires or insert it into a beautiful frame.
Paper decorations you can cover the windows, and a mirror and a glass door, but only without using glue! To easily remove snowflakes from windows after the holidays, you can prepare soapy water. To do this, rub a little toilet or laundry soap into warm water and dissolve. We quickly lower the snowflake into this solution and glue it to the glass. After drying, the decoration will remain securely on the window.

Hexagonal and octagonal paper snowflakes
To create snowflakes this way you only need scissors, paper and, if necessary, simple pencil.
Cut out the decoration step by step:
Thus, we got it octagonal snowflake.
To get in the end hexagonal snowflake you also need to prepare a square. We form a triangle out of it and turn its base towards us. We make marks on paper with a pencil: we need to mark 3 equal acute angles at the base of the triangle. After marking, fold the paper along the resulting lines towards the center. We also cut out patterns from the resulting base. After we unfold the paper, we get a regular hexagon.
For creating simple, bulky paper decorations You can use templates from the Internet. Nowadays, amateurs conduct a huge number of master classes on creating home decorations with their own hands, and learning how to do it quickly and easily is not difficult.

Cut out voluminous snowflakes from paper
If you are already bored with cutting out flat products every year and want something new and interesting, then you can start creating volumetric snowflakes. Cutting them is as easy as bulk ones. Let's figure out how to do this step by step.
For this you will need: paper, glue, scissors, pencil and stapler.
You need to take A4 sheets and make square-shaped blanks, as shown in the previous examples. We need 6 such blanks for one product. We fold each resulting square diagonally to form a triangle. We turn the triangle with the base towards us and make 3 cuts on it with scissors towards the center symmetrically on both sides. You need to cut carefully so as not to cut through the middle, leaving about a couple of centimeters in the middle.
We unfold the resulting workpiece so that it lies with its edge facing us, turned horizontally. We fold two corners in the middle into a tube, connecting them. Turn over the paper. Take the next two corners and connect them in the same way. They need to be secured with glue. We do the same with all the corners to the edge.
Having prepared 6 identical parts, we connect them. You need to connect them one by one with a stapler on one side so that you end up with a regular circle. Our snowflake is ready.
In this lesson I present the most interesting, beautiful and original templates on how to cut snowflakes out of paper with your own hands with diagrams and unique step-by-step photos. On the eve of the New Year holidays, everyone wants the house to be extraordinarily beautiful, cozy and fabulous. A good option for decorating your home before the New Year holidays would be to decorate the windows with paper snowflakes, unusual drawings, and festive motifs that will bring a pre-holiday mood and a New Year's fairy tale to the ordinary decor of the room.
The simplest thing you can do with your own hands is to cut out paper snowflakes and attach them in different places. Everyone remembers how, as a child, they cut them out before the holidays in kindergarten or at home. Today, having become parents, you can spend time with your child with benefit and pleasure, cutting out beautiful snow-white snowflakes from paper with your own hands. Kids always take part in such events with great joy.
Paper snowflakes made with your own hands and with joint efforts with children are not only a way to decorate your home, but also to bring into it the New Year's spirit, a sense of celebration and family comfort and unity.
Teaching your child to cut out a snowflake yourself is not at all difficult. To do this, you need to prepare the necessary tools and paper. As a base, you can use napkins, colored paper, or just a white sheet from an album.
The thickness of the sheet is not particularly important. But you need to know that thin sheets make the most delicate and airy snowflakes. And paper that is too thick will be difficult to cut.
You will also need a pencil and sharp scissors. After the pattern for the future snowflake is selected, the paper is folded as shown in the photo. If you have a sheet of A4 paper, then cut off the excess to get a square.
Fold diagonally.
The more folds you make, the more interesting and delicate the snowflake will turn out to be.
The size of the future decoration depends on how large the sheet is initially selected. In this case, the choice is influenced only by the desire to have a large or small snowflake.
Once the design is on the paper, we begin cutting. This process requires special care and precision. Under no circumstances should you cut off the edges of the paper at the folds, as the snowflake may simply fall apart.
Children really enjoy this process. After all, in the end you will get a beauty with your own hands, which will be so nice to decorate a Christmas tree, windows or walls in a room.
It should be noted that such a seemingly simple activity as cutting out snowflakes from paper with your own hands is a great opportunity to develop a child’s imagination, sense of beauty and artistic taste.

It so happened that the snowflake became an attribute of any New Year's holiday. Often at New Year's parties, the first role for girls is a snowflake. We can safely say that a snowflake is the main attribute of the New Year celebration.
Snowflake using paper quilling technique
Quilling snowflakes look elegant, especially if they are complemented with sparkling rhinestones and small foil elements or in the form of small patches. It is not necessary to buy special paper to create New Year's snowflakes; you can cut ordinary office sheets into thin strips and use a toothpick instead of a split stick. You can wind the strips using a simple method: pressing the paper onto the stick with two fingers and twisting it in your hands.
What to prepare for modeling snowflakes:
- a sheet of office white paper;
- scissors;
- any glue with a brush or a special thin spout;
- stick or toothpick;
- a snowflake created using a hole punch or a blue patch;
- blue half beads.
How to model a snowflake quilling
Take either special paper or cut the sheet into strips of the same width. Use scissors or a stationery knife, a ruler and a special thick mat. It will take many strips to create individual parts.
Wind each strip individually onto a stick. The paper easily remembers forced bending, but so that the parts do not unwind and take a certain shape, it is necessary to glue the ends together.
For the middle, prepare 1 large round piece. Also make droplets to fill the body of the snowflake. Only 12 pieces. Make sure they are the same size.
Glue 6 droplets around the circumference, adding a drop of glue to the side wall.
If there are large enough gaps between the parts of the first layer, you can fill them with small rolls. Roll 6 small rounds.
Glue small rounds into the gaps of the first layer.
Apply the second layer of droplets. Apply glue to small parts and press down the droplets with the back (wide) part.
A paper quilling snowflake model has been assembled. Now we have to decorate it with blue decor. Glue a snowflake and a half bead in the center. Add 6 blue crystals to each ray.
Blue sparkle will add a festive touch. The New Year's craft is ready. It can be hung on a green branch or on a window.
In this master class, I propose to make an unusual snowflake-card from paper on a stand. It will be an excellent gift for your mother or grandmother, and at a school exhibition it will have no equal. Also, by doing this craft, the child will learn how to fold paper, carefully cut it and use glue. And of course, fantasize! After all, creating snowflakes is a real art!
Materials needed for the postcard:
- colored paper in delicate shades;
- cardboard for base or stand;
- glue;
- scissors;
- sequins for decoration.
Look at snowflakes with your children, tell them how snow is formed, what types of snowflakes there are and how they differ. Usually snowflakes are six-pointed, but we will have an eight-pointed snowflake, since it is made using the origami technique. In order to make one snowflake, you need to bend a sheet of colored paper in half and cut out two identical squares.
Now fold each square in half in different directions. You should get two folds that divide the sheet into four squares. Use a pencil to make marks on the reverse side. They are located in the middle of the side of the small square.
Carefully cut the paper to the marks.
The following blanks are obtained. For one snowflake you will need two things.
Using glue, attach the corners to the rays.
Now you need to place the blanks on top of each other with an offset. It turns out to be such a snowflake!
It's time to decorate the snowflake. To do this, you can take rhinestones, beads or sequins. They need to be glued so as to close the joints of the corners.
All that remains is to make the base – the stand. To do this, you need to fold a wide strip of cardboard inward so that you get three equal parts. Then use scissors to round the corners.
You can write a congratulation inside the base. All that remains is to glue the snowflake to the edge of the workpiece. We placed a small snowflake cut out of foil in the center.
These are the snowflakes you get in half an hour - bright, airy, sparkling! And most importantly, they keep children's hands warm.

Blue paper snowflake using origami mosaic technique
The origami mosaic technique allows you to create beautiful relief paintings from paper. They look unusual and very attractive. Those who have not yet mastered this needlework technique and are just about to try it should immediately tune in to painstaking work that requires maximum concentration and perseverance. Even the simplest image in an origami mosaic will take a lot of time, because you not only need to choose a clear diagram, but also make a lot of miniature square blanks.
In this master class I will show you how to make a three-dimensional blue snowflake out of paper using the origami mosaic technique.
To create such a New Year's panel you will need different materials and tools:
- scissors;
- black lead pencil (simple);
- wide tape;
- ruler;
- 2 sheets of white cardboard;
- 6 sheets of white paper;
- 2 sheets of blue double-sided construction paper;
- tube of PVA glue.
First, on white and blue paper you need to draw squares measuring 3x3 cm.
Now cut the blanks into individual elements.
And start forming squares from which a panel in the form of a blue snowflake on a white background will be assembled.
How to make a square out of paper using the origami mosaic technique?
Take one square.
Gently fold it in half.
Fold this blank in half again so that you end up with a square half the size of the original one.
Unfold all sides to their original position.
Now bend each corner of the square towards its center.
This is how it turns out.
Turn it over to the wrong side.
And again begin to bend the corners of the square to the center.
The result should be a very small square measuring 1.5x1.5 cm.
In total, you need to make 136 blue squares and 225 white ones. This amount was calculated according to the diagram attached below.
Now take a simple pencil, a school ruler, and on two sheets of white cardboard, draw a grid of squares with sides equal to 1.5 cm.
Using tape, glue the two sheets together and cut a square so that each side holds exactly 19 squares.
Now we move on to pasting the base with small squares. To begin, mark the center of the craft and glue a white square onto it.
Now apply a drop of PVA glue to each shaded cell and fill them with blue blanks. Glue the central stripes.
Then place the squares diagonally.
Form a pattern according to the diagram.
The blue paper snowflake mosaic is almost ready!
All that remains is to glue white squares on the empty squares.
When the work is finished, you will receive an original panel in the form of a blue snowflake on a white background. She looks like this! Look how unusually the texture of the craft is visible, creating volume and relief.
Using this technique, you can make many other snowflakes, which will differ in image pattern or color.
This panel looks great on the wall and creates a festive atmosphere. You can also use it as an original postcard for one of your friends.
How to make a 3-D paper snowflake with your own hands
Modern technologies have reached such a seemingly simple task as creating a snowflake. As the name suggests, 3-D snowflakes are a more complex, but very effective technique, thanks to which the manufactured decor is distinguished by a special elegance of lines and rather unusual shapes.
What might you need to make a snowflake with a 3D effect?
Prepare a square sheet of paper of the desired color, a pencil and ruler, scissors or a sharp paper knife, and glue. The work of making 3-D snowflakes is very painstaking and requires a lot of patience.
The first step is to draw a sheet of paper into squares. We will need 6 identical squares. Then the following diagram is applied. It can be printed. 
Fold the square in half diagonally and transfer the diagram as shown in the figure. Fold in half again.
The next step is to cut parallel lines. The cuts must be made in such a way that they are directed towards each other, but do not converge completely.
We connect and glue the corners of the first small square.
Then we turn it over and glue the corners of the next square.
And so on in order until all the corners are glued together.
To make the snowflake voluminous, you need to very carefully glue the corners of all the squares. The result is six snowflakes, which, when glued together, form a three-dimensional 3-D figure.
We connect the corners of all the blanks together.
In order for the figure to keep its shape and not fall apart, you need to additionally glue the sides of the snowflake.
That's all, our 3-D paper snowflake is ready!
By coming up with various patterns, painting the figure with paints and even decorating with beads, you can not only create a very beautiful New Year’s decoration, but also help develop your child’s imagination and sense of style.
Snowflakes - paper kirigami instructions
Snowflakes - Kirigami is a fairly simple way to quickly and effortlessly make a lot of beautiful decorations. The highlight of this type of snowflakes is the selection of paper. For snowflakes - kirigami you need bright colored paper.
It can be colored only on one side, but you can choose paper with rich colors on both sides. Take an A4 sheet and fold it as shown in the photo.
Cut out a square and fold it in half diagonally.
Fold it two more times.
Then we print out and transfer such a diagram to the finished workpiece.
The next stage is to cut out patterns on the workpiece using nail scissors.
After carefully cutting out the snowflake, unfold it.
Fold the resulting corners as in the photo.
A snowflake can be decorated with stasis, beads, and Christmas tree tinsel, and then it will become the central decoration of your New Year’s home.
2 more options for DIY kirigami snowflakes:
The light, airy figurine of a ballerina is very beautiful. If you combine two types of a beautiful snowflake and a ballerina figurine, the effect can exceed all expectations.
It takes a lot of time to make this type of decoration. But the work of cutting it out is quite simple, even a child can do it. It’s not just single figures that look very impressive, but a whole garland of graceful ballerinas.
What you need to prepare for work:
- template of a dancing ballerina figure;
- thin white paper for a ballerina's tutu. Multi-layer paper napkins work very well;
- thin white cardboard;
- scissors.
Select a ballerina figurine template. You can find a large number of options on the Internet. Simply copy the selected template into a text document, format and print. But it’s much more interesting to draw a sketch yourself. Transfer the template to cardboard and cut it out.
It is very important that the cardboard is white on both sides, since the snowflake is voluminous and clearly visible from any side. The size of the figurine is optional. There are no restrictions in this matter.
Watch the video - how to make a ballerina snowflake with your own hands
A very beautiful pack is made from a white multi-layer napkin. We make a snowflake in the usual way. We apply the pattern we like onto the paper and cut it out with sharp scissors.
The only nuance that should be taken into account is that a paper snowflake should have a fairly large central hole. In this case, she will easily and simply sit on a cardboard figurine of a ballerina.
Paper heart with a snowflake in the shape of a handbag
In this master class we will make such a heart with a snowflake. It can be used as a bag for a small gift or simply as a DIY Christmas tree decoration.
First you need to print out this diagram.
We transfer the diagram onto paper and cut it out.
The result is two identical blanks.
To fasten them together, we make cuts - on one side from the top to half of the snowflake, on the other - from the bottom to half of the snowflake.
We collect the finished volumetric snowflake, threading it into each other.
Attach the handle.
Your DIY voluminous paper heart snowflake is ready!

This master class is designed for children from 6 years old. The work will be of interest to everyone who loves to create and bring joy to friends and family during the Christmas holidays.
Some interesting information:
Once upon a time, people believed that snow or rain were water droplets. In the warm season, rain pours out of the clouds, and in winter they fly out like snowflakes. But scientists have proven that snowflakes are not formed from water droplets, but are produced from steam.
This vapor is constantly present in the air. He rises high into the sky, where it is very cold. There, water vapor turns into tiny pieces of ice. The ice floes move, collide and cling to each other. So they grow, becoming bigger and bigger. And they begin to fall to the ground like beautiful snow stars.
Ah, beautiful and sweet!
How could it become like this?
All made of rays - needles.
But the needles are not from Christmas trees!
And so delicate!
I'll catch her now!
(Snowflake)
Today I bring to your attention a master class on making paper snowflakes
Materials required for work:
1. A4 sheet of paper
2. Scissors.
3. Simple pencil
Rules for handling scissors:
1. Check the tool before work. Use well-adjusted and sharpened scissors.
2. Do not hold scissors with the ends up, do not carry them in your pocket.
3. Do not use scissors with loose hinges.
4. Do not cut with scissors on the go, do not approach your friends while working, do not leave the scissors with the blades open.
5. Pass the scissors only closed, with the rings towards a friend.
6. Place the scissors on the table so that they do not hang over the edge of the table.
7. Monitor the movement and position of the blades during operation.
8. Use scissors only for their intended purpose.
Step-by-step process for completing the work:
You can use office paper, colored paper for children's creativity, or origami paper for cutting out snowflakes.
1 Method. Cutting out an 8-ray snowflake.
This snowflake base is easier to create for children of preschool and primary school age.
We fold the blank for the snowflake from a square sheet of paper, so we cut off the excess part
Fold the resulting triangle in half perpendicular to the base
Fold in half again, connecting the sharp corners of the triangle
Fold again, aligning the sides.
We cut off the excess part. The resulting triangle is the basis for the snowflake.
A simple pattern can be cut out immediately without preparation:
It turned out to be such a snowflake
Method 2. Cutting out a 6-ray snowflake.
You need to fold the paper to form a regular hexagon
We start folding with a square
Place the triangle base down
We divide the unfolded angle of the base of the triangle into three equal angles
We wrap one sharp corner according to the photo
We put a second acute angle on it
Trim evenly to form a triangle
Fold the triangle in half
Using a simple pencil, draw a drawing on the base.
Cut out the painted part
We carefully unfold it. It turned out to be a snowflake.
You can make the pattern more interesting by cutting out small triangles, stripes, etc.
The same snowflake will be more carved and beautiful
We will cut out the next snowflake without a pencil sketch. The thinner the pattern on the base, the more beautiful the snowflake will turn out
Use your imagination, cut as you like
Cut until there is very little paper left on the base.
Carefully unfold
And here she is - our beauty
Using these snowflakes, we decorate the group for the New Year holidays
What if you put the most beautiful snowflake in a frame? It turned out like this:
Which are already used as crafts.
Perhaps not everyone cut out such beauty in childhood, so I want to start with a detailed description of the process of folding paper and making snowflakes out of it.
It is better to take thin paper, because we will fold it at least three times. By the way, the more times you roll it, the more openwork the snowflake you will get. But cutting it off will be much more difficult.
I most often take napkins for this purpose. They are thinner than paper. And it is easier for them to give the desired shape.
Take a square sheet of paper and find its diagonal.
Fold the common edge up.
Wrap it again, connecting the ends. And cut off the lower uneven part.
Now let’s draw the diagrams that I will show below. And we transfer it to this detail.
All that remains is to cut out the snowflake along the lines and open it.
Of course, I cannot limit myself to just one master class, so I provide this step-by-step photo instructions.
First, fold the sheet so that there are folds along the edges.
Remove excess ends and cut out the pattern. By the way, a snowflake does not have to be white. It can be black, golden, red and any other shades.
This picture shows in dark color which part needs to be removed. It turns out very beautiful, right?
To consolidate the result, I present three simple patterns for cutting.
I also invite you to watch the video if you still have any questions.
I am focusing attention at this stage, because next we will find not only simple patterns, but also complex ones, taken from fairy tales and films. Therefore, the stage of folding paper must be understood and mastered.
Beautiful and simple snowflakes for cutting with diagrams, step by step for children
I'll start with simple options and patterns. After all, children show the main interest in cutting out such snowflakes. We only meet their desires, guiding them along the right path.
So, I’ll say right away that kindergarten children may not yet be able to cope with this task. However, not all of them still know how to use scissors well and carefully cut along the lines.
Of course, all children are different, but I think that such snowflakes are more suitable for children aged 6 years and older.
We will make a snowflake like this.
We fold the paper square as we learned. Of course, the photograph shows the sequence.
Now let's draw this drawing. You can translate it by placing a napkin on the screen, but you should not press too hard with the pencil. Or you can download the picture and print it.
We worked with scissors and this is what happened.
Just for fun, you can draw a carrot nose, eyes and mouth on the snowmen.
And it will turn out to be a fun craft.
Since you have already learned how to make such snowmen, here is a simple selection of easy patterns and patterns.
This option is more difficult for those who have successfully cut out all previous options.
Well, in order not to get bored, here is an idea from the cartoon “Frozen”. Here are Olaf, Elsa and Anna, and even Sven.
I think kids will like these ideas. That's not all, below there will be a lot of different templates.
Templates for cutting out paper for windows, you can download and print
You can decorate the windows with any snowflakes. Those that are obtained by folding, or those that are obtained by cutting with a stationery knife.
It is better to stick a snowflake on the window with toothpaste. It is easily washed off the glass in the spring. You can also not glue the beauty to the window, but simply outline its outline with gouache.
There are simple ones and very delicate ones. In any case, you need to try to cut them all out.
DIY modern 3D paper snowflakes for the New Year
Here are some more ideas for volumetric 3D snowflakes. I will show you other master classes and ideas.
This beauty is very easy to make.
As before, we need a sheet of paper. For convenience, so that the lines are smooth and neat, we will use such a template with diagonals.
Fold the blue square diagonally.
Then, using the template, we make folds along the indicated lines.
This is what happened.
Draw a design and cut it out.
Now we bend all the lines in the shape of a semicircle. It turns out to be an interesting volume.
The following snowflakes were made using the same principle. Once again I will show everything in great detail.
For convenience, let's move away from the usual squares and cut out circles from colored paper.
Let's find their middle.
Let's turn it around again.
And further. In total, fold three times.
Now we draw the design and cut it out.
We unfold the workpiece and make bends, as in the picture.
View of a snowflake from the other side.
Well, do another option. Based on the same idea of folding.
In the end, this is what the voluminous beauties we made above look like.
They can be decorated with pompoms, cotton balls, beads and sequins.
If you liked the idea of such a plan for beauties, then I present three more options.
Now let's move on to voluminous snowflakes, which need to be made from several pieces of paper.
For example, I'll start with this blue and white beauty.
As you can see, we need the same number of white and blue parts. Three of each color.
The next master class will seem familiar to many. However, the snowflake turns out to be simple, but beautiful. It is more convenient to fasten the parts with double tape.
If you cut out several snowflakes of different sizes from cardboard or foam. Then, putting them on top of each other, you get the same volume.
You have a very beautiful idea. It is done simply and clearly. Strips should be no more than 1 cm wide. Otherwise, all the elegance of the craft will be lost.
Here is an option for gluing 5 identical blanks.
With aunts it is easy to make a snowflake from parts in the form of fans. The twig is made from five strips of paper folded into a droplet.
Another beautiful craft idea. Take 6 identical squares. We turn the corner towards ourselves and make identical cuts. The widest at the base, the shortest at the top corner. Then we connect these parts one by one. The bottom two are on one side. We turn the part and connect the next row on the other side.
All that remains is to connect the parts into one craft.
The following master class is similar to the one above. However, the pattern turns out different.
Another wonderful idea. Take a square and fold it once. And we make cuts from the fold line to the middle of the resulting triangle. Now we fix the ends of the rhombuses alternating sides.
Well, we talked a little about volume and 3D, let’s return to templates.
Large snowflakes in A4 format for beginners - can be downloaded and printed
Large snowflakes are easier to work with. Therefore, I have provided many diagrams that are suitable for beginners.
For convenience, start cutting out these beauties on an A4 sheet of paper. Then downsize.
Also, the more complex the pattern on the diagram, the easier it is to cut it out of a large sheet of paper.
After all, on small workpieces, it is difficult to cut through eyes or bottlenecks in the circuit.
What do you think of the idea of decorating with a dragon?
Delicate stencil with butterflies.
For football fans there is such a template.
Ornament with birds.
This is a whole composition from the Middle Ages.
Take the anchor as a basis and this is what happens.
The main thing is to choose the right template for the level that the child has mastered. It is better to entrust complex ornaments to mothers.
Volumetric ideas from paper with templates for cutting, ballerinas MK
Many people like the idea of ballerina snowflakes. They really look very elegant and original. The basis is the silhouette of a ballerina, onto which beautiful snowflakes are cut out. They are worn as a skirt.
Here is a master class in video format. For the skirt, I have provided a lot of patterns in this article. And I will give the silhouettes of the girls under the video.
As promised, you can use these stencils. They can be downloaded and printed. 
Did you like the idea? I feel so very much.
All interesting paper snowflake templates, many patterns
