Paper snowflakes-ballerinas: how to make them yourself

Making a ballerina figurine is easy. For this we only need ready-made dancer templates, sheets of paper, scissors, white thread with a needle and a simple protractor.

The craft making process itself consists of the following steps:

• We cut out the figure from the template so as to cut off its contour outlines as well. Otherwise, the figure will look ugly and sloppy.
• We make paper snowflakes in the same quantity as the number of paper ballerina figurines that were made. It is best to make a six-pointed snowflake, as it is easier to cut out smaller and ornate patterns on it.

To do this, take a sheet of paper and fold it in half in the center. Next, using a protractor, draw lines at angles of 60 and 120 degrees. We bend the sheet according to the marks obtained and bend it in half again.

• These snowflakes are suitable as a tutu or a skirt. We just take the dancer figures and carefully, so as not to tear the paper in thin places, put snowflakes on them.
• Using threads and a needle, we tie knots on the ballerina and hang them on the chandelier as decoration.

Making snowflake skirts for ballerinas

The most optimal shape for ballerinas is considered to be a 6-ray snowflake. If you try to make more rays, then you will need more skill so that during the work you do not accidentally tear or tear off any small part from the skirt itself.

• We layer the napkins into several layers and make long strips.
• We wrap the resulting pieces tightly wire frame periodically applying glue or other adhesive.
