Snowflake is one of the traditional New Year's crafts. Easy to make and very effective.
How to make a 3D paper snowflake
To make such a wonderful three-dimensional paper snowflake you will need very little:
— 12 strips of paper 1.5 cm wide and 30 cm long
- glue
- scissors
- paper clips to hold the strips together while the glue dries
Work plan:
1. Take two strips and connect them with a cross (perpendicular to each other) in the center. The horizontal stripe should be above the vertical one. Glue the strips where they intersect.
2. Take two more strips and stick them above the horizontal strip at a distance of approximately 3 mm on each side of the central vertical strip. See photo below.
3. Place two more strips of paper horizontally as shown in the photo below. Glue them with glue too.
4. Glue adjacent corner sections of horizontal and vertical strips as shown in the photo. You can fasten the strips with paper clips at the gluing points until the glue dries.
5. Do the same with the remaining six strips. As a result, you should end up with two identical halves of the future three-dimensional snowflake.
6. Place the halves together as shown in the photo below, with the “petals” inward. Opposite the “petal” of one half there should be a strip from the other half.
7. Pass each strip inside the "petal". Glue the strips to the "petals" with glue.
8. Carefully cut off the protruding ends of the strips on the "petals". Here is such a voluminous paper snowflake you should get as a result.

The second and more complex type of this technique is the so-called karigami. In this case, the process involves both the correct folding of the sheet and the most accurate cutting of the pattern. If you are making such an origami snowflake for the first time, then it will be better if you first draw the future pattern and only then start cutting it out.
This can be done with either standard scissors or manicure scissors. The latter option is preferable for beginners as it will provide the opportunity to correctly cut through the most intricate pattern. After cutting, all you have to do is bend some parts and the voluminous karigami snowflake will be ready.
If you want to get the most voluminous snowflake, then make it from paper strips. In this case, you will be able to independently regulate how much this or that part of the product will protrude, but most importantly, you will not have to watch how you bend or draw lines all the time.
To create this decoration you will need scissors, glue and thin strips of paper of any color. If you want to make the most airy snowflake, then use strips 3 to 5 millimeters wide to make it. If you plan to decorate your house with large voluminous snowflakes, then cut strips with a width of 8 millimeters.
