Master class №2 - how to make a pumpkin from paper

You will need:

• orange cardboard;
• ruler;
• stamps;
• scissors;
• glue;
• colored and corrugated paper.

Progress:

1. To get a unique drawing on the sheet, do it yourself, imprinting on it various ornaments.
2. We fold the entire sheet of cardboard with the accordion, making the lines after 1 cm.
3. Cut the folded cardboard into strips. Since the pumpkin should be rounded, the components should be of different widths. We do this:

• 1st row - 5 cm;
• 2nd row - 5.5 cm;
• 3rd row - 6 cm;
• 4th row - 6,5 cm;
• 5th row - 7 cm;
• 6th row - 7,5 cm;
• 7th row - 7 cm;
• The 8th row is 6.5 cm;
• The 9th row is 6 cm.

After the strands twisted into a circle are joined in this order, we glue a circle with a diameter of 2 cm.

The trunk of the pumpkin is made of a tightly twisted paper strip 3 cm wide.

On the second same strip we do fringe from one side, and on the other - we apply glue and twist around the already finished trunk.

From corrugated paper, we cut out the leaves and paste them to the upper circle as shown in the picture. In addition, slightly twisted thin strips can be used.

We glue the barrel and the pumpkin is ready.

Using the same technology, you can make an application with a pumpkin. Only it will be necessary to do not round preparations, and half.
