Origami is such an exciting activity that it drags everyone from small to large. And gradually your home turns into a warehouse of various crafts , which you can admire for a long time, reviewing them. Some of them have practical applications, and very interesting ones.
So, for example, the paper star made in origami technique can be used as an ornament for Christmas and not only. A little training in the manufacture of such stars made of paper made by themselves, you can decorate the whole house with them. The main thing - a fantasy and assiduity! You can attract your family members to the folding of stars.
How to fold a star from paper: a master class
- In order to build a hand-made paper from the form of a star, you will need a standard sheet of A4 paper or slightly smaller. If the stars can be of different sizes - so it will be even more interesting. Paper can also be selected in different colors. Beautifully look contrast combinations. Prepare a sheet of paper fold in half and iron the fold line neatly to make it clear.
- Reinstate the sheet and take the upper left corner with your fingers. Fold it to the opposite side approximately in the middle. It is not necessary at all to use the ruler and measure it to within a millimeter. This can be done "by eye", the star from such actions will not suffer.
- Again grasp the edge you just used, and gently bend it back, aligning it in parallel with the edge. It should turn out to be such an irregular shape that still does not have a name.
- Now we take our fingers for the opposite corner, which was not yet involved - this is the right upper corner. Fold it in half so that the sharp corner goes beyond the shape.
- Now this outgoing acute angle is bent as shown in the figure, clearly combining with the lines already obtained. Something like a plane with a sharp nose came out.
- For further work we need scissors. They should be large enough, with sharp blades, because you have to cut several layers of paper so that they do not move. If you make a three-dimensional star from a paper the child helps you, then at this stage you need to control it so that it does not cut yourself. Now begins the most interesting - depending on the angle at which the cut is made, we can get different in shape stars. If you make it almost at right angles, you get a "thick" star. If the cutoff angle is average, we get a standard star type, such as that depicted, for example, on the flags of different states. If you cut at an acute angle, we get a traditional Christmas star. Choose you! Now it remains only to unfold the resulting figure and combine the ends.
Now you know how to fold a star out of paper, and there's nothing complicated about it. Volumetric ornaments are very original. If you make a pair of identical stars and glue them together, you can hang them on a string, as an ornament in any room.
When there is preparation for any holiday, when you want to decorate your house, time, as a rule, is sorely lacking. Therefore, jewelry should be taken care of in advance - to find the drawings you like and try to make them in the draft version. If the result suits you, then production can be put on stream - connect all from small to large.
Children are very fond of when the creations of their hands are decorated with rooms. They feel deserved pride and receive the same moral satisfaction from the work done, as well as their parents. And joint work always brings together. Because families who practice the manufacture of various crafts, for example, as in our version, the stars of paper, very cohesive and friendly. We will take an example from them!
