What will we need?

How to sew snowflakes?
Here are a few stencils that you can print out to transfer onto fabric or simply sketch on. The lines in the center of each snowflake mark the places where we will do the embroidery.
If for some reason you didn’t really like the proposed stencils, look at the large selection of stencils that we published earlier.
For one snowflake, cut out one stencil twice. We do embroidery right away. Immediately sew on beads or sequins. If you want to use rhinestones, stick them with superglue and tweezers already on the finished product.
Embroidery can be done on both sides, but only on the outside.
We will sew the product from the front side, because it is inconvenient to turn it inside out. But you can leave a small hole to stuff the snowflakes a little with cotton and make them a little more voluminous, and then hem it.
Today we will make a very simple symbol of winter from felt. This will be a double-sided snowflake made of felt for a Christmas tree in different colors. It is done very simply and does not require special knowledge, therefore, with the manufacture of snowflakes from felt on a Christmas tree with your own hands according to the master class outlined below, everyone can do it. Ready-made templates for cutting will help you make snowflakes from felt.
About the benefits of felt for needlework
To make beautiful felt snowflakes with your own hands, download stencils from this material for free. Separately, I would like to talk about why felt is increasingly being chosen as the main material for New Year's needlework. Well, of course, first of all, it is practical.
Felt is a dense pressed mass, which means that this fabric keeps its shape perfectly. Plus, in needlework stores today you can buy felt of different thicknesses and from different manufacturers. Such a variety of source material allows you to actively show your imagination and allow flights of creativity when creating New Year's snowflakes and other souvenirs.
Important! To work with felt and make beautiful crafts, including snowflakes, you do not need to have professional seamstress skills. This material is affordable and even from scratch you can learn how to make beautiful crafts, involve children of any age in creating snowflakes and other New Year's gifts.
In this material, you can download felt snowflake stencils for free, to do this, enlarge the photo, save it to your computer and then print it. If there is no printer, then the saved photo of the stencil can be enlarged on the screen to the required size, and then carefully transferred to a loose white sheet with a simple pencil. Further, already on the table, make the contours of the template clearer and transfer the stencil to thick cardboard, and then to the felt itself to create beautiful snowflakes.
To make a double-sided felt snowflake for a Christmas tree, we need:
- blue and white felt;
- acrylic silver tape;
- rhinestones;
- glitter glue
- chalk;
- scissors;
- a skein with tape;
- tweezers;
- glue gun.
How to make a snowflake from felt on a Christmas tree with your own hands
We need a skein of tape in order to draw circles on the fabric from which snowflakes will be made. We outline the contour of the skein with chalk once on white and blue material and cut out the blanks.
By the way, for those who like to craft from felt, we suggest learning how to sew. Such a craft will be relevant during these New Year holidays, because the coming year is the year of the Blue Sheep. 
Now you need to divide the circle into six identical sectors. To do this, first divide it into two equal halves by drawing a diameter, and then divide each part into three sectors. 
Circle the intersection of the lines with a small circle. 
We cut each blank along the drawn lines, but only close to the small circle that was drawn in the previous step. That is, the middle should remain, which will hold all six sectors together. 
You can give the edge of each sector a shape. To do this, you need to cut off the corners in each, retreating from the edge the same distance. This means that you need to start cutting off the corner at the same distance from the edge as in the previous sector. 
The simplest step of our master class on making felt snowflakes for a Christmas tree with our own hands remains, which will turn our blanks into a beautiful Christmas tree toy. We glue both parts of different colors together, connecting their centers. Now we apply glue to the narrow part of the sector and squeeze it with the index and thumb until the glue hardens. Glue needs to be applied very little, otherwise it can crawl out and burn the skin. If, nevertheless, this happened, then after the glue has hardened, you need to cut this defect from the product with scissors. 
This is how a double-sided felt snowflake looks like on a Christmas tree from one side and the other. 
Let's make a loop so that you can hang the toy on a Christmas tree branch. We cut a ribbon 15 cm long, fold it in half, and glue the ends on one of the snowflake petals in the middle between the blue and white layers of the cani, and glue a petal of a different color, thereby hiding the edges of the ribbon. 
We decorate a snowflake from felt on a Christmas tree with rhinestones. 
We also apply glitter glue to the inside of the snowflake. 
That's how easy it is to make a snowflake from felt on a Christmas tree with your own hands, the master class explained and showed you everything.

If you want to make beautiful and stylish felt snowflakes, cutting templates are necessary for this process. Because, a ready-made template or stencil helps to understand how to work with the material correctly. As a result, the fabric will not be wasted, and for practical and economical housewives, especially on the eve of the New Year holidays, this is extremely important.
Felt is a popular modern material for creativity. Even with basic skills, you can make exquisite accessories, and for the new year, all this is relevant. A pattern is not always required, especially if a simple New Year's snowflake will be made from felt. However, some points here should be given special attention. A step-by-step master class from this material will help you understand how to make felt snowflakes correctly so that they always turn out beautiful and cute, pleasing to the eye with their beautiful basic and brightness.
Successful creativity!
Decorating the house before the New Year holidays, many housewives try to do it somehow in a special, original and beautiful way. Recently, it has become fashionable to make jewelry with your own hands. Some people cut out snowflakes from paper, or you can make them from fabric. The most convenient material for needlework is felt - it is easy to work with, it lends itself well to processing and looks beautiful.
Christmas decorations and snowflakes can be made from felt. They can be hung on a Christmas tree as a decoration, or you can hang several of these snowflakes around the apartment. And making them is quite easy.
In order to make snowflakes from felt with your own hands, you need fabric and decorative elements. It is better to take thin felt, because in order to cut out symmetrical snowflakes, it will have to be folded in several layers.
You can decorate a carved snowflake in a variety of ways, as fantasy and the presence of decorative elements allow. In the middle, for example, you can sew a large bead or button. On white felt, any additional element will look bright and expressive. But in order for the colored button not to look out of place, the snowflake needs to be supplemented with something else, for example, stitch its petals with threads of the same color.
If the button in the middle of the snowflake is blue or green, you can sew (or carefully stitch with a needle) several “branches” of the same color along its edges. Beads can be sewn along the edges of the snowflake - small shiny beads will become an original and beautiful completion of the branches diverging from the center.
You should not pick up small beads of the same color as a large button and threads, otherwise the whole pattern will merge and be inexpressive. Instead of beads and beads, you can sew on shiny sequins, they will look festive and elegant.
You can complicate the design of a felt snowflake if you cut and sew it from two different colors of fabric. If you put one layer on another, the snowflake will turn out elegant and bright. You can sew two layers of snowflakes together with the help of stitches-twigs, combining the useful and decorative properties of the threads. And you can do it with the help of machine embroidery, then the branches will look fuller and more voluminous.
To make a beautiful snowflake out of felt, you can use another interesting way. To do this, you need to take a fabric of two different colors, cut out of them two circles of the same diameter. On one of the circles of felt, draw the outlines of a snowflake with a pencil. Let it be simple lines, not intricate patterns.
A snowflake can be both a beautiful and cute gift, and a nice decoration for a Christmas tree or interior.

Among all the possible ideas for creating snowflakes, one of the most interesting is felt snowflakes. Felt is cozy and delicate, pleasant and soft, it is associated with the warmth of the hearth and is ideal for interior decor. And he is as fluffy as freshly fallen snow. Creating beautiful snowflakes with it is easy and simple. There are at least three different ways. Let's talk about each in more detail.
Just an outline
This is the easiest way to make felt snow with your own hands.
- We cut out a snowflake from paper according to a beautiful template.
- We put it on felt and circle it with a pencil.
- Using scissors and a sharp mock-up knife, cut out the same piece of felt.
Just! Beautiful! And for everyone! Examples of templates - in the photo.
Such decorations will look great if they are hung on white satin ribbons at different levels above the window or in a circle under the chandelier. Get a small home snowfall.
Of six petals
Beautiful felt snowflakes can be made using felt, floss threads and transparent hot melt adhesive. Here's how to do it.
If desired, the petals can be given any shape, making them even more like real snowflakes.
Snowflakes are ready! They are different, but each of them is beautiful in its own way. They retain the charm of handmade, and they can be a wonderful New Year's souvenir.
little trick. In fact, you can cut out not 6 petals separately, but immediately ready-made flower. Then it will not have to be sewn at the very beginning, but all that remains is to sew on a button and embroider. To cut out a whole flower right away, you will first need to fold a paper pattern. Here is a diagram of how to fold such a flower using a paper sheet.
real toy
A snowflake in the form of a real little toy is the third idea of a snow felt craft. She has a funny expression on her face, and she herself is stuffed with soft synthetic winterizer. 
It can be made as a decoration for a nursery, as a toy for a Christmas tree, or simply as a gift to a child.
It is sewn in the same way as any simple felt toy.
- Cut out a paper pattern according to this pattern.
- We apply the template to the felt, folded in two layers, and cut out two identical parts.
- On the first part we make a funny face: two pieces of black fabric - eyes, two pink circles - cheeks and an embroidered mouth.
- We sew two parts with each other, stuffing the toy with padding polyester in the process. At the end we sew a ribbon for hanging.
Snowflake toy is ready!
Each of the three methods is good in its own way, and the felt snowflakes themselves in all three options turn out to be completely different. Sewing them with your own hands is a pleasure.
