How To Make a Torn Paper Snowflake
This craft is super fun and easy to make! Here’s how.
Step 1: Prepare Your Materials
First, gather all your materials. Make sure you have different shades of blue paper to give depth and character to your snowflake.
Step 2: Tear and Create
This is where the fun begins! Tear your blue paper into small pieces. Don’t worry about making them uniform; the uniqueness of each piece adds to the charm of your snowflake.
Step 3: Glue onto the Template
Take your snowflake template and start gluing the torn pieces of paper onto it. Fill in the template completely, and feel free to overlap pieces for a textured look.
Step 4: Add Personality
Once your snowflake is filled in, cut out a small smile from the black cardstock and glue it onto your snowflake. Then, add the googly eyes. If you like, you can also add eyelashes for a more whimsical touch.
Creative Variations of Torn Paper Snowflake
Once you’ve mastered the basic design, you can get creative with your Snowflake Art:
- Color Variations: Instead of just blue shades, experiment with a rainbow of colors or use a monochromatic scheme like different shades of purple or pink. This can reflect different moods or personal preferences.
- Pattern Play: Instead of random placement, arrange the torn pieces in specific patterns or gradients. This can be a fun way to teach about symmetry and design.
- Personality: Add silly google eyes, different smiles, cheeks and other elements to give your snowflakes various personalities.
