How do you cut snowflakes? I mean, not just three rhombuses along the length of this triangle, but really beautiful, lacy ones... I've tried folding them in different ways, but A4 paper is too thick, it's hard to cut nicely, and it just ends up looking like a stub 😁 Maybe I should cut them from tracing paper to get all the beauty. But it's transparent. Or maybe I should just draw/print them without folding and cut them out with a scalpel 😞 I can't imagine any other way.

Need a hint! The menu might turn out to be a bit of a mess, but I picked what the person whose honor…

A4 paper comes in different thicknesses. Look for a thinner one. Smooth out the folds well so they are as thin as possible

Why cut them out? We buy ready-made self-adhesive ones for the windows, but what about homemade ones?

You need to fold it correctly, you can look up how to do it online. I draw and cut it using a stencil

Lolo So if you add it up, we end up with such a massive sheet that all the cutouts turn out mutilated

I'm all thumbs, I've never learned to cut anything out beautifully ✂️, I either use pre-made ones or follow a stencil.

Alena You can draw with a stencil, but the question is how to cut it out properly

Lolo A4 is like a regular size... it's not landscape, so how do they cut it from Whatman paper then?

Regular printer paper works great for everything. The main thing is to carefully smooth out the folds and have good sharp scissors. And you can find beautiful patterns online if you can't come up with them yourself.

In my childhood, we used to cut white snowflakes from napkins. They turned out airy and fluffy, and we'd hang them on the Christmas tree… but that also required nimble fingers. Mine always end up as scraps, whether from napkins or regular paper.

Kristina I used to cut out these snowflakes myself as a child. Since there was no internet or way to compare with others, I thought I was doing a great job.
Maybe you should just stop comparing your snowflakes to others'?

Kristina Maybe stop telling people what they want or don't want? :) Someone wants a specific type of snowflake, and even answered the question of why: they want to cut it out with their child. They want to cut out specific snowflakes with their child. The question in the post is: how do you cut out snowflakes? Answers: We buy them. Stop comparing.
