Manufacture

1. First, you need to delineate the book sheets into strips of 2 centimeters wide, and then cut them out. You will need at least 10 pages for each snowflake.
   
   
   
   
2. Make strips of different sizes: 10 strips along the length of the page, the next 20 strips are 1 cm shorter and so 3 more times 20 strips, each batch is 1 cm shorter than the previous one.
   
   
   
   
3. The stripes bend in half and then connect the tips to create a snowflake ray.
   
   
   
   
4. Repeat such manipulations with all stripes, and then fix them under heavy press. I use a desk lamp for that.
   
   
   
   
5. When the workpiece dries, additionally fix its edges with a thin line. In general, you will need 6-8 such blanks for one snowflake.
   
   
   
   
6. Make the central part of the snowflake by twisting a stripe into a ring. The resulting ring fix first with a thread or line, then glue.
   
   
   
   
7. And now you can combine all the details of the snowflake.
   
   
   
   
   
   
8. Continue to fasten all the details with hot glue, as shown in the photo.
   
   
   
   
   
   
9. To better fasten the snowflake, miss the extreme loops of the neighboring snowflake rays with glue.
   
   
   
   
10. As a decor, small sequins are suitable, which should be applied to the side ribs of a snowflake. You can also use pieces of garland, sequins and small beads.
    
    
    
    
    
    
11. Well, now make a loop out of a fishing line so that you can attach a snowflake, for example, to a tree. Jewelry ready!
