Snowflake made of threads for knitting with your own hands - master class
To work you need:
- yarn white, blue (or any other colors);
- eyes;
- cardboard;
- scissors.
Work progress:
- We fold the cardboard in half and draw two circles, a large one and a small one.
- We multiply the distance between the two circles by two, this will be the diameter of the snowflake.
- Cut out the circles.
- If the ball of thread is larger than the inner diameter of the circle, then we put the two cut out circles together and cut out a small strip on one side (we will run the thread through this strip into the circle).
- We wrap the entire circle with white thread.
- We insert scissors between the two circles and carefully cut the edge of the threads.
- We thread a white thread between the two circles and tie the threads tightly.
- Wrap the blue thread around your fingers and tie it tightly in the middle with a thread, trim the edges and form a ball. Thread the blue ball into the middle of the snowflake and secure it from the inside out.
- Separate one strand from the snowflake and tie it with blue thread near the edge.
- You can immediately divide all the threads into ten equal parts and secure them all at the edge with blue threads.
- Glue the eyes or sew on black beads (buttons).
- Embroidering a smile.
Snowflakes are very easy to make and therefore can be made in short time a large number on one piece of cardboard. Instead of a blue ball, you can sew a bead in the middle. To speed up the process, each strand can be tied with elastic bands cut from a balloon. You can tie the strands in several rows in a checkerboard pattern. We turn on our imagination and make a lot of snowflakes that are not similar to each other.

Instructions for making snowflakes
New Year's decorations made from glue have many advantages: it is a hypoallergenic structure, an unbreakable design, and the possibility of quick production. You don't need to spend a lot of time to complete the work.
The most important thing is to do everything sequentially, first we need:
Snowflake patterns
PVA glue
Transparent oilcloth
Brush
Glitter or any other materials for decoration
Thread, needle, tape, wire
You can make templates yourself or download them on the Internet, it all depends on your desire. In fact, creating your own creative stencils can be much faster and more interesting. In the same way, you can make various figures to decorate the Christmas tree. If you are going to attach the resulting decorations to windows, then you should wipe them off from excess moisture in advance so that the tape sticks better.
1. Cover the resulting ones with transparent film and gradually apply glue. The layer should be as thick as possible, but the width should not be large. It is best to buy glue with a thick consistency, so the snowflakes will turn out voluminous.
2. After you receive the snowflake, you need to sprinkle it with glitter before it dries. They will stick instantly. After drying, the glitter will not fall off. These decorative elements can be replaced with metal shavings, semolina or finely chopped pieces of tinsel.
3. It takes about a day for a PVA snowflake to dry. In this case, you should under no circumstances rush, because if the glue inside does not dry out, damage may occur and your snowflake will lose its structure.
There are a considerable number of videos and master classes on the Internet that will help you cope with the implementation of the task. In fact, this is one of the most simple ways make interesting window decorations. Their main advantage is that they do not get wet from condensation that accumulates on the glass.
Making snowflakes from PVA is as easy as shelling pears, but decorating them correctly and covering them with glitter is quite difficult. Therefore, this procedure must be approached with special responsibility. Once you have completed everything, the stencils can be hidden until next year.
How to make the right snowflake mounts
The advantages of dried PVA are that it has a dense structure and the fastening used does not violate its structure. At the same time, snowflakes that hang on white threads seem to be floating in the air. To complete the task, you will need a needle, which you use to make a small hole and thread through. This way you get the optimal toy for the Christmas tree.
To decorate the window, you don’t have to make these holes; you can use tape. To do this, wipe the glass with a dry cloth and fix the resulting snowflakes. In fact, the panel of snowflakes turns out spectacular. Especially when the garlands are lit at night, the sparkles shimmer and create some enchanting atmosphere.
Storing PVA snowflakes
To organize all storage conditions, you do not need any special skill. First of all, you can use a bag in which you can put all the snowflakes until next year, but there is a possibility that some elements of the toy will be damaged. Therefore, it is best to find a small box. We fold each snowflake alternately with a napkin, this way you can protect the sparkles from mixing.
You need to store the received ones next to the Christmas tree decorations, away from heat. That is, it is best to put it in the closet. Next New Year, you just take out your snowflakes and hang them up again. Today, this is one of the most optimal storage options.
How to choose the right materials
There are no special recommendations on this matter, but if you are planning to make snowflakes with your child, then you should buy glue only in office supply stores. It is much safer than its construction counterpart. The rest is up to you. You can glue snowflakes in any way, using threads, buttons, tape, wire and much more, in general, complete freedom of action and wishes.
Modern New Year decorations, which are sold in the store, of course have a lot of interesting compositions and beautiful design. But each person can, based on their capabilities and materials purchased ten times less, create more creative jewelry and toys. Thus, it is best to spend a few hours and create a truly beautiful details for New Year's decoration.

For those who are not familiar with knitting techniques, we recommend watching this instructional video. So, for a fluffy Christmas tree you will need: threads for knitting “grass”, a hook, beads and ribbons for decoration.
Let's move on to the description of the work: you need to knit a Christmas tree in two threads. To begin, cast on 56 air loops and close them into a ring. The second row, like all subsequent ones, is knitted with double crochets. Starting from the third row, you need to decrease 4 loops in each row, i.e. We divide the number of loops in the row by 4, and we get the number of loops that do not need to be knitted (56/4 = 14, i.e. in the third row we do not knit every 14 loops). The number of stitches in the 4th row will be reduced by four and will be 52 (56-4=52). Again we carry out simple mathematical calculations and find that we need to skip every 13th loop (52/4=13). And so we continue. In the last rows, the reduction will have to be done by eye.
Now the Christmas tree is ready, all that remains is to decorate the knitted beauty, and you can put it in a place of honor!
Using a crochet hook you can knit not only Christmas trees, but also other themed crafts, for example, a Christmas wreath. Make 15-16 air loops from the threads and close them into a ring, then knit three more rows with a regular single crochet, and then secure the thread. The wreath is ready. To decorate with red thread, make 30-35 air loops, pull them through the wreath and tie them with a bow. Crochet the wreath is ready!

For crafts using the nitcography technique you will need: cardboard (the basis for the picture), thick PVA glue, knitting threads (it is better if they are the same thickness), scissors, paints. Transfer the picture onto cardboard, coat the outline with glue and circle it with thread. Press the thread well so that it sticks. When the outline is made, all that remains is to fill it with thread. Examples of New Year's thread paintings can be seen below:
Crafts made from threads for the New Year using isothread technique
An excellent New Year's craft would be a painting using the isothread technique, or it is also called thread graphics. The essence of the technique is very reminiscent of String Art (paintings made from threads and nails), but instead of boards and nails, cardboard and a needle are used in isothread. This kind of embroidery is quite original and interesting, but it is not entirely suitable for children, as there may be certain injuries during the work. For New Year's crafts using the isothread technique, you will need cardboard, a suitable picture, thread, and a needle.
DIY fluffy snowflake. Step by step instructions with photo
Nikiforova Evgenia Olegovna, teacher additional education, GBOU boarding school with. Vorontsovka, Yeisk district, Krasnodar region.
Target: make a snowflake from yarn to decorate the room.
Tasks: teach how to make snowflakes from yarn; introduce the technique of making yarn pompoms; teach how to use scissors correctly when cutting threads; develop fine motor skills hands, imagination, thinking, perseverance, accuracy; expand your horizons.
Application: can be used as a Christmas tree toy or simply for interior decoration. And my students actually suggested that if you make the snowflake larger, you will get a beautiful and soft pillow.
Equipment: yarn; cardboard rings; scissors.
In anticipation New Year's holidays, as a teacher of additional education, I was tasked with conducting an unusual master class on this topic. And for some reason I immediately remembered a snowflake made from yarn that I made when I was a schoolgirl.
There are no specific age restrictions for creating this craft, I have circle group students of grades 5, 7, 8, 9, everyone did it perfectly, and most importantly they really liked it.
If you use this material for a lesson, I suggest using thematic physical exercises:
Snowflakes are falling from the sky,
Like in a fairy tale picture.
We'll catch them with our hands
And then we’ll show it to mom (arms above head, grasping movements)
And there are snowdrifts around,
The roads are covered with snow (stretching arms to the sides)
Don't get stuck in the field so that
We raise our legs higher (step in place, raising our legs high)
There's a fox jumping in the field,
Like a red, soft ball (jumping in place)
Well, let's go, let's go (walking in place)
And we come to our house (they approach the tables)
Now let’s move on to the master class itself!
PHOTO 1. So, we will need yarn, two identical cardboard rings and small narrow scissors (so that we can cut the threads without any problems).
In order to make the rings, we will need cardboard (any cardboard, since I have a creative circle, I have a lot of cardboard packaging left over, which I never throw away, but use for various templates) and a compass. We need to draw two circles (the sizes are at your discretion; for example, I drew circles with a diameter of 6 cm and 18 cm) and carefully cut them out. We should have two such rings.
The yarn must be wound into small balls so that each ball fits freely into the hole. I took two colors of yarn: blue for the snowflake itself and white for tying the base and rays.
PHOTO 2. Take one ring and cut the thread (white in my case), which will later tie our base. We tie the thread (at one time, not in a knot) and place it on the ring, as shown in the photo.
PHOTO 3. Next, we cover our structure with a second ring so that two threads are on the outside.
PHOTO 4. Now we will wrap the rings with yarn (in my case blue) so as not to lose the outer two threads for tying. When we wrap the rings, we need to make sure that the threads fit tightly to each other without gaps. And since our internal diameter is smaller, the threads there will periodically overlap each other.
PHOTO 5. This is how it turned out after winding the first ball. Next, take the second one and continue wrapping the rings further.
PHOTO 6. This is how you get completely wrapped rings, with the tying threads sticking out. I used two balls, the threads were wound in one row tightly to each other. You can also wind the second row, then the snowflake will turn out softer and fluffier.
PHOTO 7. Now we need to carefully cut the threads along the edge of the rings with scissors, so as not to accidentally cut our threads for tying. I have thin nail scissors, and it was convenient for me to cut by running the blades directly between the cardboard rings.
PHOTO 8. After we have completely cut the threads in a circle, we need to slowly and carefully tighten the threads that we had on the outside for tying.
PHOTO 9. Then we carefully remove our rings. After that, we tie the threads into a knot so that our base for the snowflake holds well.
PHOTO 10. Now we straighten and straighten the snowflake the way we had it on the rings. We hide the threads that were tied up.
PHOTO 11. Let's start forming rays. First, we divide the snowflake strings in half, then each half in half again.
PHOTO 12. Next we will need to cut eight small threads (white in my case) to tie the rays. We divide each quarter in half and tie it with thread.
PHOTO 13. We form eight identical rays, cut off the excess threads, and align the rays of the snowflake, if necessary. And now, our beauty is ready.
By the way, you can also decorate it at will with sparkles, sequins, etc., and make eyes and a nose. As your imagination tells you.
Thank you for your attention. I will be glad if my master class will be useful to someone.
