   Instructions for a master class of children's snowflakes using origami technique

   1. To begin with, we cut out a strip 5-7 cm wide and about 20 cm long.Using a pencil and a ruler, we make notes on each centimeter along the length. Cut out an imitation of a "fence" from above, as shown in the photo. Draw small rhombuses in the middle of the resulting columns. Then we mark the middle of each centimeter with dots and pierce them with a thin needle.
      
   2. Now we take a ruler and place it on top of the first line dividing our “fence” section in half. Gently bend the workpiece inward, and then remove the ruler and bend it in the opposite direction. We repeat the same with each section. As a result, you should get an accordion, as in the photo below.
      
   3. We hold the accordion tightly with the fingers of one hand and with scissors cut out the previously marked rhombuses in the middle of each section.
      
   4. We take a needle and thread and carefully thread it through the small holes that we have already pierced with the needle two steps back.
      
      

      On a note! The thread must be taken tight so that it firmly holds the finished structure!

   5. When the thread has already passed through all the points, we re-enter it into the first hole to close the structure.
      
   6. We remove the needle and begin to gradually pull the thread until a tight ring is formed. We tie the thread to a knot, and put a coil on top of the snowflake to straighten it.
      
   7. From the remaining thread we form a loop and our children's snowflake is ready! And for those who want to master the pure origami technique for creating snowflakes, we have selected a video tutorial with step by step scheme below.

   DIY openwork snowflake using DIY quilling technique, master class with photo

   Quilling is the real art of weaving amazingly beautiful handicrafts and cards from simple strips of paper. Using the quilling technique, you can create really unique openwork snowflakes with your own hands, a direct confirmation of which is our next master class with step-by-step photos.

   • pencil and ruler
   • scissors
   • glue and brush

   

   Instructions for a master class of openwork snowflakes in the quilling technique

   1. Using a ruler and simple pencil you need to draw a sheet. To do this, make marks of 0.5 cm across the width of the sheet and draw lines along the entire length. Then we cut out the strips with scissors.
      
   2. To form rolls you need an awl. We wind the strip on it quite tightly, and then let the roll unfold a little and glue the edge to its base.
      
   3. At the base of the snowflake there will be one round element and six drop-shaped rolls. To get an element in the form of a drop, you need to lightly squeeze one edge of the round roll with your fingers. We connect the structure with glue.
      
   4. Now add six eye rolls to the base. We will also make them from round rolls, but having already flattened both edges with our fingers. We glue the "eyes" between the drops according to the pattern below.
      
   5. Now we need small rolls, so we fold the standard strip in half and cut it into two parts. Twist a small round roll from each small strip. To get started, you need six pieces of such elements.
      
   6. Glue small rolls along the edges of the elements in the form of a cat's eye.
      
   7. We roll six standard large rolls.
      
   8. We glue them to the drop-shaped elements, as shown in the diagram below.
      
   9. Now we need six square rolls. We will form them from standard round ones, slightly flattening the sides into a square shape.
      
   10. We glue the squares to large round elements, having previously turned them into the shape of rhombuses.
       
   11. It remains to twist a large round roll according to the standard scheme and glue it to the top of our craft. Let the snowflake dry completely and thread through a large roll. Ready!

NEW BULK PAPER SNOWFLAKES

What is difficult to imagine the New Year without? That's right, without Christmas trees and corresponding decorative elements, the main of which are snowflakes. For this holiday they are made by everyone, using the most various materials... Surely you all have already seen and know how to make such voluminous snowflakes out of paper - master classes:

Winter is the most creative time of the year! Yes, yes, don't be surprised. If you count how many postcards are made in the world, various crafts, decorations, gifts and snowflakes (this is not counting the production of snow in clouds), then this whole huge set will more than block other pre-holiday preparations! And every year I want to do something new, original and pleasing to the eye. If you are looking for such an idea, then you are on the right track.

We propose to make new volumetric snowflakes from paper - 6 step-by-step master classes and different pictures of ideas:

BULK PAPER SNOWFLAKE No. 1

To create this craft, you need to take:

• - 2 square sheets of blue paper;
• - scissors;
• - glue.

Our snowflake will consist of two equal parts, giving it volume on both sides. Let's start creating one of them. To do this, fold the square diagonally.

Then fold the resulting triangle twice more.

On one side of the workpiece, you can pre-apply lines along which the cuts will pass. In this case, we pay attention to which side the fold is located on (in our case, it is on the left side). It is in the place of the fold that you do not need to cut through to the end, this will be the center of the snowflake.

We take scissors and cut along the lines outlined earlier.

At the very bottom of the workpiece, you can make additional slots, which will add delicacy to our snowflake.

Expand the first blank.

The central strips of all 4 rays should be bent to the center and glued.

We make the second blank for the snowflake according to the same principle.

Now it remains to glue them together, slightly shifting to the sides so that all the rays are evenly spaced.

As a decoration, a rhinestone can be glued to the center.

A new volumetric blue paper snowflake is ready.

BULK PAPER SNOWFLAKE No. 2

To create a New Year's atmosphere, it is required not only to put up and decorate a Christmas tree, but also to create the appropriate decor in the room. And the easiest way to do this is with a variety of snowflakes. We offer a simple master class showing how to make a volumetric snowflake from plain white paper. Photo 1.

For work you will need to take:

Let's start by folding the accordion. In order for it to turn out even, first fold a sheet of paper several times in half in the transverse direction. So we will outline the lines for the future accordion. Photo 3.

Now we fold the accordion along the outlined lines. Photo 4.

We outline the middle of the resulting accordion with a pencil and, focusing on it, draw the places where you want to cut. In the photo they are indicated by shading. Photo 5.

We take scissors and cut out. Photo 6.

From the second sheet we fold the same accordion, marking and cutting out elements on it, as on the first accordion. Photo 7.

Now we take white threads and tie together two accordions in the middle, securing the end of the thread. Photo 8.

We straighten two accordions in the form of a circle and see the places that require connection. Photo 9.

In these places, carefully glue the snowflake at the bottom of it. Our volumetric paper snowflake is ready. Photo 10.

BULK PAPER SNOWFLAKE No. 3

The feeling of New Year's holiday comes long before December 31st. And this is largely due to the creation of a festive atmosphere. The use of a variety of New Year's decorations will help in this, many of which can be made by hand. In our master class, it is proposed to do a simple snowflake from separate modules Green colour. Photo 1.

For work you will need to take:

• - 6 square sheets of green paper (we used the size 8x8 cm);
• - scissors;
• - pencil;
• - glue.

Let's start making a snowflake from one of the modules. To do this, we fold one sheet of paper in the transverse direction in half and draw lines with a pencil for subsequent cutting. In this case, the Christmas tree will be the central element of each ray of the snowflake, so it is its outline that needs to be drawn in the center. Photo 3.

With the help of scissors, carefully cut through all the lines, removing the excess, which was completely painted over with a pencil at the previous stage. Photo 4.

We unfold our blank, this is how one of the modules of the future snowflake looks at this stage. Photo 5.

But it still needs to be finalized. To do this, take the central strip, fold it over and fix it with glue. Now one of the modules is completely ready. Photo 6.

We make 5 more elements according to the same principle. Photo 7.

Now let's start assembling our snowflake. To do this, using glue, we connect 2 elements together with a slight overlap. Photo 8.

So we continue to glue all 6 modules. Photo 9.

Our snowflake is ready. To decorate its center, you can add some kind of decorative element, we used a rhinestone. Photo 10.

SNOWFLAKE FROM MODULES

Modular origami is available to everyone; using this technique, you can create a variety of crafts, including New Year's. Snowflakes made from separate modules look especially interesting. We propose to make one of these snowflakes according to our master class.

To create such a snowflake, you need to take:

• 6 blue square sheets of paper;
• 6 white sheets;
• a small circle of blue paper;
• PVA glue. Photo 2.

First, we will make modules from blue paper. To do this, take a square and fold it diagonally. Photo 3.

We unfold the square and fold its sides in the direction of the central fold. Photo 4.

Turn the blank of the module over to the other side. Photo 5.

Let's fold the sides again. At this stage, the module is shaped like a diamond. Photo 6.

We turn it over to the other side. Photo 7.

The layers located on top need to be bent to the sides. Photo 8.

We make 5 more blue modules using the same principle. Photo 9.

Now let's start creating white modules, they will be located on the inside of our snowflake. To do this, fold the white square along two diagonals and unfold it. Photo 10.

The corners of the square must be bent towards the center. Photo 11.

Turn the blank of the module over to the other side. Photo 12.

We will fold the sides of our workpiece. Photo 13.

WITH back side unscrew the sides of the module. Photo 14.

Now we will bend them in the direction of the central vertical line. Photo 15.

For our snowflake, you need to add 6 such white modules. Photo 16.

Let's start assembling the snowflake. We take a circle and glue two blue modules on it, placing them opposite. Photo 17.

Glue the remaining 4 modules evenly in a circle. Photo 18.

Between the fixed blue rays of the snowflakes, we fix the white modules with glue. Our snowflake is almost ready. Photo 19.

It remains to decorate its core at will. Photo 20.

OPENWORK SNOWFLAKE IN FALSE QUILLING TECHNIQUE

Our master class on creating an openwork snowflake using the false quilling technique will help you make a decoration from strips of paper with minimal time and materials.

For the creative process, you need to prepare the following materials:

• sheet of white (or double-sided blue, silver) A4 paper;
• simple pencil;
• ruler;
• eraser;
• glue;
• scissors.

How to make an openwork snowflake using an unusual false quilling technique

The snowflake will consist of three types of elements, for the creation of which you need strips 1 cm wide. Each type of element should consist of six parts, so we need to draw a sheet of 18 stripes. The first 6 stripes should be the length of the entire sheet. Draw the next 6 stripes perpendicular to the first. Draw the third type of stripes under the long ones, starting from the perpendicular stripes.

Cut out strips of paper and fold them in three rows, depending on their length. In places where pencil lines are very visible, use an eraser.

To make it easier to work with the strips, wind them around the pencil and remove. Unlike the "quilling" technique, our task is somewhat simplified, since we will not work with dense curls, but with their likeness.

Take a strip from the "short" row. To wrap a strip in a ring, wind it around your finger, close the edges and glue. Make the next turn a little looser and glue at the base again. Make a third turn in this way. Cut off excess paper with scissors.

Do this for the other five short stripes, making sure they are the same size.

Make exactly the same curls with stripes from the middle row.

Bend the longest of the strips in half.

Wrap each end tightly around the pencil and carefully remove the ring - you get such double curls.

Press the smallest curl rings on both sides with your fingers, giving them an almond shape.

Press the middle curl rings from the ends to the center to form a four-pointed star (rhombus).

We start collecting the snowflake. Connect the six almond-shaped pieces together with glue. You will get a semblance of a flower.

Glue double curls between the "petals".

For convenience, glue the double curls across one petal.

Then glue on the remaining double curls.

Glue the "stars" at the junction of the double curls.

That's all, the volumetric openwork snowflake is ready!

Look how twisted, like lace!
Thanks to the volumetric elements, it is easier to fold such a snowflake than when creating a quilling figure. Small children can also cope with such creative work, if you show them everything and help, if necessary. Older children will figure out the intricacies of work on their own. You can also come up with other elements and make some snowflakes to decorate a festive fir tree or interior. The main thing is desire, and you will succeed!

How to fold unusual snowflakes from ordinary paper squares

To work, you need two squares of the same size. If you want to make small snowflakes, use small squares and vice versa.

Cut out squares of decorative paper to the desired size. It is best to use paper that has a pattern on one side and a base color on the other, then the snowflake will look original.

Fold the squares in half twice.

Spread out the squares, the main lines will appear on them.

Bend the edges to the midline, pressing the folds with your finger.

Do the same on the other side. When you straighten the squares, you will see that the markings of small squares have appeared on them.

Use scissors to cut along the center folds to the length of one square.

Bend the corners at each end as shown.

Glue the corners so that the patterned side is on top.

Stick one part of the snowflake on top of the other so that the rays do not overlap each other.

Decorate the resulting snowflake with self-adhesive rhinestones, or glue the sparkles.

A beautiful curly snowflake from squares is ready!

So, with quite a bit of effort, we got an unusual snowflake. Such beauty was created from two squares, which is hard to believe! You are convinced that children will cope with such work, which means that you can make many wonderful snowflakes and decorate rooms with them, gifts for loved ones and relatives, a festive fir tree or a Christmas wreath. And if you connect several snowflakes, then you can make a garland, pendants or a crown decoration for the holiday.

OTHER OPTIONS

And more voluminous snowflakes from the Internet:

On the eve of new year holidays you need to think about jewelry so that they are ready in advance. Of course, today you can, at any time, go to a store or supermarket and buy everything you need, but the costs will be enormous.

Therefore, it is worth figuring out how to make voluminous paper snowflakes for the New Year with your own hands using step by step instructions and photo. In this case, you will be fine.

New Year's atmosphere and comfort in the apartment can be created with the help of paper parts, as they have the appropriate aura. We will start decorating with snowflakes, which are very easy to make. For this you will need minimal set materials and stationery.

Making such simple paper and decorative fakes, we very often hear about new technologies. The 3D prefix is ​​a simple notation for the volumetricness that we will give our snowflakes. You can place the presented part in the form christmas tree toys, details of a whole garland and so on. They can be very easily fastened on one thread and hung on the wall.

First you need to prepare the following accessories:

• paper;
• scissors, stapler
• stationery;
• glue.

We perform actions in the following order:

At the first stage, we are making a stencil that will allow us to make the perfect version of a snowflake, and it will also help to make a lot of such fakes. To do this, you need cardboard, we apply 6 lines on it at an angle of 90 degrees, they should be placed parallel to each other, the distance between the lines is 1 centimeter. We do everything according to the photo.

Fold six album sheets diagonally. We make cuts according to the prepared stencil. As a result, we get 6 triangles with cuts placed parallel to each other.

Take one of the triangles and unfold it. That is, we get a square, with even smaller squares placed inside it. We start with the central one, turn its corners to the center and glue them.

We turn the workpiece over to the other side and repeat the steps with the next square. We should get, at the end of the action, an icicle. We also do with the rest of the blanks.

We fasten our icicles to each other. It is best to do this in stages, that is, we fasten one block of three blanks, then we also make the same block. At the last stage, we connect the resulting two blocks with a stapler.

This is a very interesting and common technique that is easy to implement. Thus, it will be very simple to make voluminous snowflakes out of paper with your own hands for the New Year with the help of step-by-step instructions and a photo.

Volumetric snowflakes

Making bulky counterfeits is a laborious task, but the result can really please you. If you want to decorate your house and create a New Year's atmosphere, then you definitely need to tackle these decorations. Of course, they will be different from those that we have done before, but they will be superior in beauty. we learned, now let's look at how to make a snowflake out of paper.

To do this, you need to prepare the following materials:

• A4 paper;
• stationery;
• thread, needle;
• red shred.

The volumetric snowflake is made according to the following recommendations:

1. Draw four circles of equal diameter on a piece of paper. The size of the future snowflake will depend on the radius of the circles.
2. Cut out the circles and divide them with a ruler into eight parts. They must necessarily be equal in size and shape.
3. We make cuts along the lines to the center to make it look like a flower.
4. We bend the tips of each petal to the center and fix it with glue. We do the same manipulations with the remaining three circles.
5. Sew all four snowflakes together or glue them together. We should have a voluminous fake.
6. A red patch is needed to complement the product. Cut out a small circle from it and glue it in the center of the snowflake.

The idea is quite interesting and easy to implement. Our voluminous paper snowflakes made by hand for the New Year, according to step-by-step instructions and photos, will turn out to be incredibly interesting and attractive.

Origami

There are so many technologies today that help users achieve their goal of making colorful jewelry. You can make voluminous snowflakes with your own hands from paper for the New Year using step-by-step instructions and photos in various styles. Japanese masters have developed a lot of such directions for a long time. Some of the most common variations:

Bicolor origami

Origami for many users is a very difficult technique, but in fact, if you do everything sequentially, then the result will really please you. Concentration, experience and the ability to work with your hands, all this together will allow you to make not only volumetric origami snowflakes, but also learn other similar styles.

Snowflake origami

Many are familiar with the presented technique for making snowflakes. It is necessary to fold the paper sheets in such a sequence so that a certain figure is obtained. Most often we come to the fact that we get a 3D product. The advantage of the technology lies in the absence of additional materials, we only need paper and the ability to work with our hands. Of course, not everyone succeeds in folding origami the first time.

Snowflake-karigami

The complexity of the Karigami technique is quite high, since to implement the idea you need to learn a little. Snowflake-karigami is made in the form of sequential folding of a paper sheet. Next, you need to cut out certain patterns.

Modular snowflake

The most difficult and painstaking method is to create a modular snowflake, but at the same time it is really interesting and mysterious. Some refer to this style as origami. To implement the presented task, you will need to prepare many small parts that must be connected in series. Any blot will lead to the fact that you will not succeed.

Modular snowflakes very often begin to be made from stripes, since the details presented help to adjust the size and length of the snowflakes.

To create the presented fake, we need the following accessories:

• paper strips (5 millimeters wide);
• scissors;
• glue.

It is worth noting that the width of the stripes affects the size and volume of the future snowflake, you can take strips with a width of 1-2 centimeters, it all depends on your imagination and wishes. We start manufacturing:

1. First you need to prepare the strips. They must be the same width and we cut them out from a simple album sheet. The length of each will be different: you need two 21 centimeters, two 19 centimeters and one 25 centimeters.
2. We glue the ends of each strip. We are waiting for a while for our blanks to dry. Then we form a sheet of them. If you are unable to give the workpiece reliability, then instead of glue, you can use a thread with a needle.
3. We make 8 more such sheets using a similar technology, you can take even more, it all depends on your idea. The most important thing is that your workpiece dries well at every stage, since reliability will depend on this. After that, we start assembling all the parts.
4. Cut out another strip from a thick sheet of paper. The width of the presented element should turn out to be 1 centimeter and glue it into a circle.
5. We attach all our blanks made in the form of leaves to the circle. If you are not sure of the reliability of the entire snowflake, then it is better to glue the petals together first, and then attach everything to the base.

There is another common and demanded method. It's a little more complicated, but the result is incredibly interesting. Prepare 6 strips about 24 centimeters long in advance.

1. We intertwine the strips with each other. A square is formed in the center of the workpiece. The strips must be secured with a stapler.
2. We connect the strips that are located next to each other. We should have a leaf-like shape. We repeat the same actions three more times.
3. At the last stage, we glue all our petals together to make a voluminous snowflake. You can fix it with glue or a stapler, but in the second case it will be more reliable.

You can make voluminous snowflakes out of paper with your own hands for the New Year using the presented step-by-step instructions and photos in the shortest possible time. You will prepare a wide variety of jewelry that will be stored for a very long time. Thus, every New Year you will take them out of the box and decorate your home.

Snowflake balls

Snowflakes-balls are interesting because they are very easy to make. You need a minimal amount of materials and the result will be really interesting. The presented technique is used extremely rarely, but still gives an incredibly good effect on creating a New Year's atmosphere in the apartment.

How to make a snowflake correctly according to the presented method:

You need to take a piece of paper, apply 12 circles of the same size with the help of a compass. The presentability of your fake will depend on the size ratio. In this case, they must be perfectly flat.

Cut out the circles and bend them all in half. Next, we add them to each other. It is best to use colorful circles to create some interesting gradient-style composition and so on.

We put a stack of blanks under a heavy book, for 20-30 minutes. This is done so that the fold line is clearly visible.

We straighten our circles, and with the help of a stationery stapler we fix them with each other, as shown in the figure. The main thing is that the paper clips are located along the fold, so they will be invisible and the snowflake will turn out to be perfectly symmetrical.

Let's start creating the form. We straighten each circle and glue the individual sides to each other, as shown in the photo. The connection style is very interesting: the top of one semicircle, you need to connect to the bottom of another, and in this order you need to do everything.

The result of the work done will be an incredibly beautiful and interesting fake. It is very easy to make all the presented volumetric snowflakes out of paper for the New Year with your own hands, step-by-step instructions and photos presented in our article will help you with this.

As a decor, you can use large volumetric snowflakes from scrap materials. They are hung from a chandelier, on curtains. Placed on shelves or completely used as a decoration on a Christmas tree. I consider paper to be the most accessible material of manufacture, so we will use it.

Attract children, let them develop their accuracy and fine motor skills, so that the process goes in an unforgettable mood of expectation of a miracle. Or while you are creating an element of decor, let the child, while with other family members, cut openwork snowflakes according to the templates given from the previous article.

DIY volumetric paper snowflakes

Nowadays, volumetric versions of snowflakes are very popular, or they are also called 3d. Of course, you need more paper, but the effect is amazing.
With the help of such a decor element, you can create an unusual photo zone in the apartment, where guests will be photographed.

Such a snowflake can be attributed to kindergarten or school. Also hang and decorate the street tree.

So, the simplest and most popular options for snowflakes.

In the first version, we used the same technology as in this article when we made the autumn leaf.

For a snowflake, take 6 square sheets, you can use multi-colored stickers.

The point is that the paper sheet is folded diagonally and 3 cuts are made on the side of the fold.

And the two shortest ends are connected, then the workpiece is turned on the wrong side. The tips of the two middle strips are glued together.

Then the workpiece is unrolled again and the process continues in this way until all the ends are glued together.

You get 6 blanks.

And we glue these blanks with the bases to each other.

The next snowflake is even easier to make. It turns out to be very fluffy and is liked by many children.

For this, we use a sheet of double-sided colored paper and cut it to make a square.

We fold it diagonally and then three more times, getting triangles.

You should have three sides like in the photo and a general fold line.

Now long end wrap inward and cut off the resulting triangle.

It remains only to make even long cuts.

Now carefully unfold the blank so that the paper fringe does not break.

To get the volume, we make two more of the same smaller blanks and connect them in the center.

Snowflake from newspapers

You can make it out of newspapers, or you can do it out of plain paper.

To glue one snowflake, we need from five to 7 blanks.

We prepare strips: long - 9 cm, medium - 8 cm, short - 7 cm.

Now we glue the ends of each strip.

We form a blank.

And we combine them into one product.

Newspaper is thinner than paper, so it is best to double each strip to add thickness.

Using toilet paper rolls

Bushings from toilet paper- a chic thing for creativity.

We take one sleeve for one snowflake, cut it into pieces of the same size.

And we glue it with hot glue in any order we like. To get a double leaf, you need to fold the ring in half.

If you paint a snowflake, then the sleeve should not dissolve in water, take it from ordinary toilet paper.

Apply PVA glue to the edges of the finished product and sprinkle glitter on it.

Detailed diagrams of how to make volumetric paper snowflakes

Found another detailed explanation of how to make three wonderful snowflakes. By the way, if you use self-sufficient tones like red, black or purple, you get quite stylish and unusual.

Blue snowflake

We need to cut strips of two colors: 5 long, 10 medium and 10 short.

We connect it like this: We glue the ends of a long strip, then on the sides we glue the middle strips to its ends.

Then comes the turn of short strips, you get a blank.

We connect the blanks in the middle with a stapler or hot glue.

How do you like the result?

Curly snowflake

You need five square sheets of paper of the same size.

We fold each square in half and make cuts of the same size to the center.

We unfold and start making a ray. We glue each end of the strip to its beginning at the center, you get something like a droplet.

We will collect all the blanks into one whole and rejoice at the result.

Black snowflake

A very effective, but rather complex application. There are two options for gluing it.

We take the stripes of the same width and very even. Fold three strips perpendicular to each other and fix the center with paper clips.
We connect the two extreme strips, having received a petal, we will do so with the rest.

You can do this. But there is another option for gluing.
Then we glue the side strips of one side together under the middle strip.

But then, in order to get more rays, you will need to make a second layer from the top, but place it diagonally.

To decorate snowflakes, you can use braid, ribbons, beads, LEDs and other elegant elements.

Volumetric paper snowflakes

Such snowflakes are hung on a string to decorate the room for the New Year.

They turn out to be quite large, so they do not look on a regular size Christmas tree.

To make one snowflake you will need:

• a standard sheet of office paper (I have a colored one);
• ruler-triangle with a pencil;
• glue stick.

How to make volumetric snowflakes out of paper in stages:

1. On A4 sheet we mark 6 squares with a side of 9.5 cm, cut them out and fold each diagonally.

   

2. Mark 7 stripes on the snowflake along one of the legs, every centimeter. The length of the stripes should be reduced. The eighth lane will be wider than the rest.

   

3. Cut in strips without cutting to a diagonal of 5 mm. You can fold the triangles in a pile, mark only the top one so that the paper does not move diagonally, press it with a couple of binders, and cut everything together.

   

4. We open each triangle. We connect with glue in pairs the lower strips on one side, then on the other. We make an overlap of 1 cm.

   

5. Glue three rays together at the base. Make sure that the most long loops lay on one side of the diagonals.

   

6. Glue the two halves of the volumetric snowflake together.

My daughter and I made 5 pieces in an hour and decorated the carpet with them. There are only 3 in the photo, since 2 of Nastenka's things were not glued together very neatly, and she did not let me help. I just cut.

Enjoy your preparation for the New Year holidays!
