- Cut out the squares of 3x3 centimeters from the material chosen for making the snowflake (satin, organza, silk, satin). Such preparations for crafts will require forty-two.
- Now make the main element - the petal. To do this, bend the diagonal diagonally, then again diagonally to make a triangle. And again, repeat. After that, the outer edges of the part roll inward, so that the petal becomes round.
- Fix the tip of the petal with a lighter and squeeze it until the cloth cools. The petal is ready! Similarly make eleven more petals.
- Missing the remaining thirty squares in the same way, but the last step (rounding off the petals) is skipped. These parts must have pointed tips.
- Collect six rounded petals on the string, stringing them one at a time. Gently pull the thread to make the petals form a flower. This detail will be the center of the snowflake.
- In order to make the rays of a snowflake, take two pointed petals, fold them closely and glue them. If you are not sure that the glue will not leave stains, use a needle and threads. We need twelve such pairs of details.
- Carefully grease the tip of the large petal with glue and fix it with two glued petals. The result will be a detail with three petals.
- When all twelve details-shamrocks are ready, take two and sew them.
- Similarly, make five more of the same details. Then cut out of a thick cardboard circle, whose diameter is a few millimeters smaller than the diameter of the flower, and from the tissue - a circle of the same diameter. Also measure the necessary length of the cord, with which you can hang the handicraft.
- Collect a circle of cloth from the fabric with which the cardboard is wrapped, and then pull the thread carefully. This part should be sewn to the lace. Start the assembly of the snowflake by turning it to the opposite side and pasting the beams between the petals of the central flower.
- When the glue dries, attach a string with a cardboard to the snowflake. A gentle snowflake made in Kansas technique is ready!
