The real decoration of any house will be voluminous crafts made of paper with their own hands. Consider the most original ideas of such decor elements.
How to make a polyhedron of paper?
Crafts of this type are diverse in form and color, so they can easily be made by hand from paper and used as Christmas toys. For this:
- Take a colored square sheet of paper, turn the painted side down and fold in half horizontally. Open the sheet, in the middle of which there should be a fold.
- Now fold the paper four times, starting from the edges to the middle, where the fold is. Open the top of the sheet and fold it so that the bottom corner coincides with the top fold. Doing such toys from paper for children with their own hands is difficult with unaccustomed, but it's worth it, since the flight of fantasy is not limited here.
- Open the sheet and rotate it 180 degrees, then fold its lower part so that it coincides with the fold in the middle. Even if you have never known how to make toys of paper with your own hands, you will be able to do it without problems.
- Again, fold the bottom corner so that it coincides with the top fold. Leave the top of the sheet down. Cross the upper corner down along the previously formed fold and lay it in the formed bottom pocket of the paper.
- Turn the paper over and fold it so that it forms a square. Now you have two triangular pockets for inserting other elements of the polyhedron.
- After making several such blocks, place one of them in the pockets of the other, then add the next one. The squares are folded together so that the corners when joining the elements are correct. We have 3 sides of the cube and one corner. Continue to form the cube, completing it with blocks, as shown in the photo. This is an ideal option for toys with their own hands, not only from white or colored paper, but also from cardboard: then they will last longer.
Flowers from corrugated paper or paper napkins
Make beautiful paper flowers that look almost like real, does not require much effort. Of all the crafts, usually such toys made of paper, created with their own hands, very like babies. The manufacturing steps will be as follows:
- Place several sheets of corrugated paper or tissue paper napkins on top of each other. Try to ensure that all of their sides are exactly the same.
- Fold all the sheets together in the form of an accordion, each fold of the paper should be about 2.5 cm thick.
- Fold the sheets in half to make them easier to unfold. Do this in each direction to create a flexible fold.
- Then pass the wire through the fold, make sure that the paper is securely held by it, and then twist both ends of the wire into a tight "knot". The length of the improvised stem is chosen according to your taste.
- Gently unfold your paper accordion, dividing the leaves one by one and "fluffing them."
Such toys made of corrugated paper, made by themselves, will be a "highlight" of the interior.
