The beginning of the cutting process is to take a sheet of paper and fold it three times exactly in the middle. Usually a sheet of square format, from the corners either the decorative edges of the snowflake are formed, or they are removed to give a rounded shape. Next, on a folded triangle, outlines for cutting are drawn with a pencil or pen. Often, if the diagram is simple and clear, you won't need to draw anything, you can just look at it and repeat.
After all the necessary parts are cut out, a piece of paper needs to be unfolded to see the result.

Snowflake patterns for printing on paper
There is another kind of New Year's wonderful snowflakes - the so-called vytynanki. Their peculiarity is in a different cutting technique. A dense material is taken as the basis - cardboard, faomiran, with or without sparkles, a substrate for linoleum. It is impossible to fold such material to cut symmetrical patterns. Stencils for protrusions are printed and outlined on the base, then cut out. This task can be entrusted to older children or left to adults.
In order to cut a beautiful snowflake using a stencil, the latter must first be downloaded and printed. If the printer is not at hand, there is another way out: put thin paper on the screen of the device and circle the contours of the stencil in the light. This sheet with a contour is then superimposed on the material for the snowflake and the future product is cut out on it. This method is suitable only for simple circuits, but this does not prevent you from getting a beautiful result.
To cut a beautiful snowflake along the contour, you will need a clerical knife, a sharp penknife or small scissors, which will be convenient to work out small details.
