Pencil, eraser: Used to draw and modify patterns.
Paper: Choose paper of moderate thickness, such as jammed or rice paper.
Reference pattern: In order to make the snowflake more beautiful, you can refer to some common snowflake patterns or ** on the Internet.
2. Draw a pattern.
Draw a suitably sized hexagonal shape on the paper, which is the basic shape of a snowflake.
Draw a small hexagonal shape inside the hexagon, which will form the core of the snowflake.
Draw radial lines around the hexagon, which will form the petals of snowflakes.
Use a pencil to gently trace the outer contours and interior details of the snowflakes.
3. Paper-cutting steps.
Starting at the top, cut the paper along the outer contour of the snowflake.
Then cut out the radial lines around the core of the snowflake, which should be connected to the bottom edge of the snowflake.
Use the tips of scissors to cut out the petals of the snowflake along the inner lines, being careful not to cut the lines.
Continue to use the tips of the scissors to cut out the petals of the snowflake along the inner line until all the petals have been cut out.
Finally, use the tips of scissors to gently cut off the edges of the snowflakes' petals to make them more natural and realistic.
4. Precautions.
