New Year's crafts from paper ballerinas with snowflakes. Beautiful and original ballerina templates for cutting out of paper. DIY paper snowflake ballerina

To get a beautiful dancing ballerina, you can find and print any picture templates you like on the Internet.

You can also use your own creativity and try to draw the figures yourself. It wouldn’t hurt to call your children for help. This way you will not only develop your child’s creative imagination, but also perseverance. Below are some of the most popular templates that you can download and use in your creativity.

Paper snowflakes-ballerinas: how to make them yourself

Making a ballerina figurine is easy. For this we only need ready-made dancer templates, sheets of paper, scissors, white thread with a needle and a simple protractor.

The craft making process itself consists of the following steps:

• We cut out the figure from the template so as to cut off its contour outlines as well. Otherwise, the figure will look ugly and sloppy.
• We make paper snowflakes in the same quantity as the number of paper ballerina figurines that were made. It is best to make a six-pointed snowflake, as it is easier to cut out smaller and ornate patterns on it.

To do this, take a sheet of paper and fold it in half in the center. Next, using a protractor, draw lines at angles of 60 and 120 degrees. We bend the sheet according to the marks obtained and bend it in half again.

• These snowflakes are suitable as a tutu or a skirt. We just take the dancer figures and carefully, so as not to tear the paper in thin places, put snowflakes on them.
• Using threads and a needle, we tie knots on the ballerina and hang them on the chandelier as decoration.

If you wish, be sure to try to come up with something yourself, and the ballerinas will acquire their own uniqueness. Such crafts can later be colored using watercolors or simple felt-tip pens. Various shades of blue are perfect here.

Making snowflake skirts for ballerinas

The most optimal shape for ballerinas is considered to be a 6-ray snowflake. If you try to make more rays, then you will need more skill so that during the work you do not accidentally tear or tear off any small part from the skirt itself. In addition to paper, for work we will also need scissors and a sharp stationery knife.

We need paper as a basis for the future skirt. We use scissors to cut out the base, removing unnecessary parts of the future workpiece. But we will need a stationery knife to cut out the internal elements of the skirt. At the same time, it must be sharpened, otherwise the edges will turn out torn.

Paper garland of snowflake ballerinas

In order to make a garland of gracefully dancing girls, you should take a certain number of paper sheets. For example, A4 format is perfect. Next, fold the sheet in half along the centimeter and draw a simple ballerina figure. Then, cutting along the contour, we get two identical figures.

We do the same with the remaining sheets of paper. Next, we insert the ballerinas into any paper snowflakes, and they are ready to be hung one by one on garlands or a simple rain shower.

How to make a ballerina card

If you want to congratulate someone on the upcoming holidays, a card with a ballerina would be an ideal option. And the fact that it will be made by the hands of a dear person will only add joy to the recipient of this gift.

For this craft, take a sheet of colored cardboard and bend it in half so that the colored side is on top. Then we cut out a ballerina figurine from any paper template, and using a stationery knife we ​​create patterns on her skirt. Then we need a round napkin, which we bend in half twice and cut off its sharp tip so that the size of the cut is identical to the ballerina’s waist. Next, glue the ballerina to the inside of the card and attach the napkin skirt so that its lower edge is free. This way the craft will be voluminous.

Ballerina using the vytynanka technique

In order to get a patterned ballerina craft using the vytynanka technique, we only need a sheet of thick paper and a scalpel-type tool. A utility knife will also work well here.

To begin with, we take a template with an image of a dancer or draw it ourselves. Next, place the image on a hard surface and use a knife to separate unnecessary parts. When working with a skirt, you can use your imagination and creativity. And thick paper will allow you to cut through small parts without the risk of tears.

At the end, the resulting craft can be glued to a window glass or door using starch paste.

Ballerina made from napkins and wire

Do you want to create something unusual with your own hands? Then you can try making a dancing ballerina figurine from napkins. Only you will need them in one color: white, pink or blue. It all depends on your taste.

• We make a frame base from wire, which we first clean from the plastic coating. If the wire is too soft, then it must be twisted in 2-3 layers.
• We layer the napkins into several layers and make long strips.
• We tightly wrap the wire frame with the resulting pieces, periodically applying glue or another binding substance.
• Any snowflake is cut out from a whole napkin and put on the figure frame.
• If you have napkins of different color shades, it is recommended to make several layers of the skirt so that they differ from each other. Moreover, this technique will make the ballerina look voluminous.

The advantage of this craft is that it can be given almost any shape and not only hung on the Christmas tree, but also simply placed on the bedside table by the window.

Ballerina (origami)

Origami is a rather complex art, but also very interesting. Try to make a sophisticated dancer out of a piece of paper that will delight you with her appearance and, perhaps, inspire you to do other interesting crafts.

You will need one single sheet of A4 paper. You shouldn’t take less, as the figure will turn out sloppy. While working, you should strictly adhere to the fold lines. And the resulting voluminous craft can not only be attached to the Christmas tree, but can be used to decorate a holiday table with it.

Applications in the form of a dancer – Panel “Ballerina”

If you or your child loves arts and crafts, you will undoubtedly love the idea of ​​making an applique in the shape of a graceful ballerina. Moreover, you can use absolutely any elements that can be found in almost any home, from lacy ribbons to glitter, rhinestones or even beads. It all depends only on your fantasy and imagination.

Here is one example of the craft making process:

• The first thing we do is draw a dancer on a piece of paper or take a ready-made template from the Internet. You can also use a stencil, which is outlined from the inside with a pencil. At the end we cut out our figure.
• Next, we transfer the dancer to our main sheet of cardboard and carefully trace her.
• Paint the silhouette with black or other dark paint. If the application is conceived on colored cardboard, then use any matching color. Leave the base of the craft until it dries.
• We make skirts from openwork ribbons or fringes. It will look beautiful if the fabric is gathered and secured at the waist. Don’t be afraid to experiment – ​​this will make your craft more memorable and unique.
• You can take sparkles with rhinestones and decorate the background with them. Apply drops of glue and, for example, sprinkle it with glitter. It will turn out very beautiful and magical. Beads and sequins can be applied using tweezers.
• The ballerina herself can be decorated in completely different ways. It all depends on you and your vision. You can add paint to your headdress or decorate your pointe shoes. It wouldn't hurt to add a stage or curtains.

This way you can make a colorful and memorable applique from absolutely any material, be it cotton pads or even cut-outs from disposable tableware.

We decorate rooms with ballerina snowflakes

It is not at all necessary to limit yourself to any one way of making crafts in the form of ballerinas for the upcoming holidays. You and your child can glue an applique and put it on the school table; the garlands will look great on a New Year’s tree or hung around the perimeter of the apartment.

You can place the doll figurines on the coffee table, and hide the most beautiful ones behind glass in the sideboard. And the cards can be tied with beautiful satin ribbons and placed to your loved ones in some visible place so that they can notice them and appreciate your attention and care.

In conclusion

As they say, “the work of the master is afraid” and there will be no exception here. If you wish, you can come up with ballet tutus for the ballerinas, made from disposable tableware, cotton pads or multi-colored felt, which can be purchased at any handicraft store. Moreover, try to interest your child in this, ask what he wants to do and how. Consult him. Also, such work done through joint efforts will teach him not only perseverance, but also respect for his own and other people’s work.

Happy New Year))

As a New Year's decoration for a room or a Christmas tree, you can make original snowflakes - ballerinas with your own hands.

The craft consists of two parts: a silhouette figurine and a tutu in the form.

It’s not difficult to make; this type of creativity is suitable for activities with children. You can organize work with several kids by preparing different templates for cutting in advance and printing them.
Tools and materials you will need for work:

Scissors;
paper glue;
white cardboard (double-sided);
colored cardboard;
white and/or multi-colored napkins;
thread or fishing line;
needle;
pencil;
ballerina template or tracing paper for creating it;
protractor for cutting out snowflakes;
nail scissors or stationery knife.

If children are involved in the work, scissors should be used with rounded ends.

To make a decoration in the form of a ballerina, you need a figurine template for cutting. You can simply print it on a printer and then transfer it to cardboard. It should be double-sided, since the figure will spin at the slightest air movement and both sides will be visible. You can also take colored cardboard in pastel shades or plain paper, pre-gluing it in several layers.

Paper ballerina: we have provided cutting templates below.









The main thing is that the figurine is already in a tutu skirt, onto which it will be convenient to attach the top, light and airy snowflake.
The dancers are approximately 25 cm in height with their arms raised. If the room you plan to decorate is small, you can make the figures more miniature. The easiest way to do this is to copy the picture into Word and resize it. The printer settings also have a function such as changing the sheet size for printing.

Advice! When printing a silhouette on a printer, it is best to set the minimum toner consumption. This will help save money and hide flaws when cutting.

You can draw a ballerina yourself or invite your child to do it. It may not turn out perfect, but it will be very soulful and homely. Let the parents make one figurine and the baby another, so that they can exchange gifts later.

If it is not possible to print the template, you can use tracing paper or even edible tissue paper. To do this, you need to lean the tracing paper against the monitor, having previously enlarged one of the figures in the photo below to the desired size. Using light movements, outline the outline of the figure. For this purpose, it is better to take a soft pencil, marked B or 2B. And the line will be visible and nothing will threaten the monitor.

Then the silhouette is cut out, adhering to the inside of the drawn outline, so that there are no pencil marks left on the finished figure. It will look neater this way. There is no need to finish drawing the face or other details. This will deprive the ballerina of lightness.

Let's start making an air pack. It can be made in the shape of a real snowflake, that is, hexagonal. For this:
take a square piece of paper and fold it in half;
there is a central point on the fold of the sheet;
using a protractor, it is marked into 3 equal parts of 60° each;
rays are deposited from the center through marked points;
the rectangle is folded along the drawn lines, as shown in the diagram, then in half again;
straighten the edges of the paper with scissors.




After the workpiece is folded, you need to draw a drawing of the future snowflake with a pencil and carefully cut it out. If time permits, the finished skirt can be placed under a heavy book to straighten out the folds.
In the center of the snowflake, you must make a cutout, which will help you put the skirt on the dancer. It could be just a large round hole or an asterisk with thin rays. For convenience and to avoid crushing the ballerina, you can make slits on one or both sides, and then glue them with a narrow piece of tape.

Advice! The more complex the pattern on the snowflake pack, the more airy the finished figurine will look. A skirt made from several napkins of different colors looks very beautiful.

Several figurines of ballerinas can be used to decorate a chandelier or attach to the top of a doorway. They are suspended using long white threads or very thin fishing lines. The mount can be glued to the figure’s head with glue or tape, but it is better to pierce a small hole with a needle and tie it. It turns out to be a kind of “mobile”.
Ballerinas begin to “dance” every time someone passes by or there is a draft.

Using the paper ballerina cutting template shown below, you can make entire garlands of aerial ballerinas.

The algorithm of actions is the same, only this figure needs to be cut out, first folded in half so that its hands are closed. Then you can thread tinsel through them and the garland is ready.

Advice! The easiest way is to cut out the ballerina from the first picture. To carefully cut out the remaining dancers, you should use nail scissors or a stationery knife. Particular attention should be paid to the fingers and the curve of the ballerina’s neck.

The skirt can be further decorated. To do this, you need to apply a thin layer of glue on it, and then sprinkle it with glitter.




A ballerina in a fabric skirt will look charming. For this, tulle is useful, preferably of medium hardness.
you need to cut the selected fabric into a rectangular shape, its width is 10 cm, its length is about 40 cm;
then, using a needle and thread, you need to gather the future pack on one side with frequent small stitches;
putting the skirt on the dancer, you need to tighten it with threads;
distribute the folds evenly, carefully tie the ends of the threads into a bow.



Any fabric that holds its shape but is not too stiff is suitable for making a skirt. For example, lace, nylon ribbons, chiffon, taffeta. For lack of anything better, you can even make it from an ordinary bandage. Beads, small beads, rhinestones, and sequins are used as decoration. You can trim the edges of the pack with curly scissors or simple, but original ones.

Happy New Year to you and your beloved children! 🎅🎄
Your Natalya May.

The magical New Year holidays are approaching, and many have already begun to think about how to effectively decorate their home. DIY decorations always make the room warmer and more comfortable. Ballerinas and gymnasts made of paper are replacing traditional tinsel and Christmas tree balls. Made using various techniques, they look elegant and light.

In addition, the silhouettes of female ballerinas can be used not only as cutting patterns or a sketch for the punching technique - a silhouette drawing can become a motive for panels and postcards, stylish calendars in black and white style.

Paper ballerinas are replacing traditional tinsel and Christmas balls

One of the simplest options for modern New Year's decor is a similar figurine made from scrap materials.

To make the simplest model you will need:

• A sheet of white paper or cardboard. The size depends on the desired size of the dancer.
• Sharp scissors to carefully cut out outlines.
• Square paper napkin for a skirt.

One of the simplest options for modern New Year’s decor is a similar figurine made from scrap materials.

Making a garland or individual ballerinas is very simple:

1. Print a ready-made template or draw a silhouette of a dancing girl on a sheet of paper.
2. Using scissors, carefully cut out the figure.
3. Fold the napkin in half twice. Bend the resulting square diagonally. Using stationery or nail scissors, cut out various patterns from the triangle and remove the top corner.
4. Put the resulting light skirt on the finished ballerina.

You can attach a thin white thread of any length to such an original snowflake and hang it on a window, a chandelier, if the decoration will not be touched by guests, a Christmas tree, or make a whole garland of graceful girls spinning in a dance.

To make the ballerina even more interesting, you can find a color image on the Internet, for example in the Victorian style. All that remains is to print it on thick matte photo paper or a regular A4 sheet. To make the girl beautiful on both sides, they take two pictures at once in mirror image. They are cut out and glued together.

A simpler option for making a skirt is to fold two rectangular sheets of paper measuring 10x5 cm like an accordion, bend them in half and glue them to the silhouette on both sides. Depending on the size of the snowflake, the skirt can be reduced or increased.

This simple and fashionable way of painting an apartment for the New Year will appeal to guests. They will probably ask you to conduct a master class.

Decorating a room in this way is limited only by the imagination of those who live in it. You can choose the most unusual silhouettes from fairy-tale characters to your favorite actors or animals.

Ballerina using the vytynanka technique

An elegant and openwork decoration will be obtained if you make it from plain paper, but cut out the silhouette not with stationery scissors, but with a more precise tool. This type of work involves detailed elaboration of contours and the presence of many intricate shaped slots.

To create a vytynanka you will need:

• sharp sharpened scalpel or paper knife;
• a special rug made of dense material;
• A4 sheet of any color, preferably thick, so that it does not tear when cutting out small parts.

To create such a delicate ballerina, you need to draw her in advance or print a ready-made template, preferably with the outline of the skirt, and work with it as follows:

1. Place the paper with the image on the prepared surface.
2. Using a blade, carefully separate off the excess.
3. Next, we begin to design the skirt. Here everything depends on the author’s imagination, since with a scalpel you can cut openwork patterns of any shape and size. The main thing is not to divide the ballerina into parts.

The craft is attached using water or diluted starch paste to a flat, non-absorbent surface: window glass, door. You will get a very beautiful decoration that none of your friends will have.

DIY ballerina postcard

The idea with a dancing girl will be useful not only as New Year’s decor for an apartment or school class, but will also take its rightful place in a congratulatory message.

To make a postcard you will need the following materials:

• A sheet of colored cardboard. You can choose any shade you wish, but keep in mind that the ballerina should not blend into the background.
• White A4 paper.
• Printer and ballerina template.
• Openwork napkin for cake.
• Glue stick or PVA.
• Sharp scissors, stationery knife for paper.
• A special rug made of dense material if you plan to use the tugging technique.
• Ruler.
• Pencil.

The procedure for creating a beautiful postcard with your own hands:

1. Fold a sheet of cardboard in half, color side up.
2. Using a ruler, measure the width and length of the part and mark the middle with a pencil.
3. Print a picture of a ballerina. You can use an outline or a color image. It all depends on the characteristics of the printer and the age of the person to whom the congratulation is intended.
4. Carefully cut out the dancer along the contour, use a utility knife or a sharp scalpel to create additional patterns on the skirt, if it is not intended to be made from other materials.
5. Fold the round cake napkin with lace edges in half twice. Cut a sharp corner to fit the ballerina's waist.
6. Using glue, attach the figurine to the front of the card. Attach the top of the skirt to its upper base. The bottom edge should remain free. The decoration will be voluminous.

You can send a finished postcard with an applique to a friend, mother or sister for her birthday, March 8th and other holidays. This is a good idea for wedding invitations. You can also attach a ballerina made using other techniques, such as origami. But it will not turn out so tender and graceful.

How to make a ballerina from napkins

Another very interesting and simple way to create a dancing snowflake is to use only plain white, blue, pink or any other paper napkins.

In addition to this available material, you will need:

• Wire without plastic braid.
• Scissors.
• PVA glue.

Progress:

1. They make a frame in the form of a human figurine with a head, arms and legs. It is better to fold the wire in two layers so that it is strong.
2. The napkin is divided into thin layers and torn by hand into thin strips.
3. Wrap the wire tightly enough so that it does not show through, and from time to time lubricate the structure with glue.
4. Take a whole napkin, fold it into a triangle and cut out a regular snowflake for the skirt.
5. The ballerina raises her arms up and puts the “clothes” on her.

The finished product can be hung on a Christmas tree or chandelier. The advantage of such a craft is the ability to give it any position by bending your arms or legs at the desired angle. In addition, you do not have to use a printer to print the finished stencil.
