The manufacturing technology is extremely simple, you just have to get one product ready and everything will immediately become clear and understandable, however, as in any other business.
To make a spectacular origami "Volumetric snowflake" from paper you need to prepare:
- Paper, preferably white, but you can also color, wrapping;
- Scissors;
- Stapler
- Glue (if you want to mess around);
- Ruler;
- A simple pencil.
It is advisable to take paper that is not too thin so that the origami Volumetric Snowflake holds its shape for as long as possible. Prepare 6 squares of the same size with sides of 10-25 cm.
Manufacture
- Fold all six paper squares diagonally. Each of them is marked out, drawing in plain pencil the same width segments using three parallel lines. Then they cut with scissors along the planned lines from the edge and, almost reaching the middle, leaving just a couple of millimeters.
- Then open the folded square diagonally and put it face up in front of you.
- The first row of strips is rolled up with a tube, securing with a stapler. It should turn out on each side of the tube of a triangular shape.
- Then they turn the element of the future origami "Volumetric Snowflake" on the other side. Connect and fasten with a stapler the next two (closest to the center) strips.
- So continue to rotate and fasten with the help of a stapler the remaining strips on a snowflake.
- Identical actions are carried out with all (five left) paper squares. After that, three particles of snowflake are joined together in the middle, fastened with a stapler. The same goes for the other three.
- In this way, two large parts (each of the three "petals") are connected together into a single whole.
- In order for the “Volumetric Snowflake” origami to keep in shape, they connect and fasten using a stapler in places where each (out of six) part is in contact with the neighboring one.
The result is a completely unique product made by yourself, which can only be decorated according to your taste by sticking sequins, sparkles or sprinkling with glitter hair spray.
If there is a desire to make large snowflakes - you should use rather thick paper, adding more lines will make the craft even more subtle and elegant. But you must first learn on a small snowflake.
