How to make snowflakes for a children's dress for a matinee?
Some use self-adhesive film, which is sold in hardware stores. There are many options for this film, including silver.
Snowflakes cut from such a film stick perfectly to organza dresses.
Advice! It is better not to use them for satin dresses - it may leave a sloppy mark along the contour.
Plastic ready-made snowflakes
If time is too short or the materials required for making snowflakes yourself are not available, you can use ready-made plastic options, which are sold in an assortment in hardware and various decor stores.
You can choose products of different shapes, shades and sizes to suit every taste.
From beads
It is not difficult to make such products.
It’s easy to find a lot of diagrams and video tutorials on this topic on the Internet.
To make your products look as impressive as possible, you can make them from beads of different colors that harmoniously combine with each other.
The most suitable colors for crafts of this kind:
- white;
- turquoise;
- blue;
- blue;
- silver;
- golden.
Reference! Beads are strung mainly on fishing line or nylon thread, but thin wire can also be used for this purpose.
From sequins
This is one of the simplest and fastest options. It is necessary to make 4 flagella from thin foil with loops at the ends and fasten them in the center so that you get the basis for a snowflake of 8 rays.
The base must be covered with sequins using a glue gun.. Repeat the same steps for the required number of decorative elements and sew the resulting products through the loops to the dress.
From rubber bands
To make this element of New Year's decor in a similar way, You need to prepare elastic bands of the desired shade suitable for weaving and a crochet hook No. 4. Initially, you need to wrap one of the existing elastic bands 4 times around the crochet hook. The next elastic band needs to be threaded through the one wound in such a way that all the formed loops will eventually fit on this elastic band. The remaining piece of elastic should be placed on the hook.
In total, you will need to make 3 identical basic elements for the future decorative snowflake. Next, they should be removed using the next elastic band taken. The free piece of elastic must be put on the hook, as before.
The loops already put on should be moved again to another elastic band, and its ends should be put on the hook again. This will be one of the rays of the snowflake. The resulting workpiece can be removed from the hook for a while. In total, in this way you will need to make 5 components for 5 rays.
The manufactured elements need to be placed on the hook, after which you need to take another elastic band and thread it through the put on parts.
The loose loop should be placed on the hook and then carefully knit through the one that is on the hook.
The formed loop should be tightened and the resulting decorative element should be removed from the hook.
From beads
Alternatively, you can make such products from beads of different sizes.
For this you will need:
- small beads;
- large beads;
- small wire cutters;
- wire.
You need to start weaving from the middle. To do this, string 6 small beads onto a wire, as shown in the photo.
By threading the wire through each bead over and over again, you need to assemble the pattern shown in the photo.
You can use any other scheme or show your imagination.
From glue
Snowflakes can also be made from glue. You need to draw the desired pattern on paper. Then you need to place a sheet of parchment on top of the resulting template and apply hot glue over the template along the marked contours.
Immediately you need to generously sprinkle the pattern with glitter before the glue dries. After the glue dries, the snowflakes are easily separated from the parchment. Ready-made decorative elements can be attached to clothes using threads or hot glue.
Knitted snowflakes
Knitted snowflakes will also beautifully decorate the dress. On the Internet it is easy to find a variety of patterns for knitting similar decorative elements.
Snowflakes of any size and pattern are the main decorative element of an outfit for a children's New Year's party. They will turn a dress for a little girl into a real fairy-tale outfit. The main thing is to show your imagination!
