1. Three-dimensional paper paintings
To create such a romantic picture, as in the photo, is not at all difficult. To get a symmetrical shape, fold a sheet of paper in half and cut out half of the shape. And to get a neat fold (if you are working with thick paper), first use a pointed object to apply a thin groove to the fold line.

Add some variety to the layout of the picture: alternate open and unopened hearts, add a few hearts of a different color, write a couple of romantic lines. Instead of hearts, make butterflies, stars, geometric shapes, or whatever comes to your mind.

2. Abstract application
Paint a rectangular piece of plywood with white acrylic enamel (or use primed subframes from the store). Cut or tear pieces of multi-colored tracing paper. With the help of glue varnish, which is used for decoupage, stick the tracing paper layer by layer on the base. Lay the sheets of tracing paper overlapping each other to create the effect of translucency and overlapping colors.

5. Wicker decorative panel
If you connect two pictures, you get the effect of volumetric paper crafts. Pick up two contrasting images of the same size: background and main. You can use photos, postcards, printouts from the Internet. Cut the images into strips of the same width and bind. Occasionally, gently fix them with glue so that they do not move out to the sides. The resulting panel can be inserted into a baguette and hung on the wall.

6. Frame from the card
This frame for a photo from trips is decorated using decoupage technique using a fragment of a geographical map. Buy a simple rectangular plywood frame, place it face down on the card, and trace around the outline on all sides. Add 5-6 millimeters for the fold. Cut the resulting outline and stick the card on plywood. After the glue dries, fix the image with varnish.

Advice: Use gift wrapping paper to frame holiday family photos.

9. Origami flower vase
Paper perfectly "remembers the form". Take a thick sheet of paper, break the sheet into triangular sectors (diagram at the link below) and mark the back side with a pencil. Walk along each line with a non-sharp knife or a pen without ink - make folds. After that, roll the sheet into a cylinder shape and glue the edges with stationery glue. Insert a bottle of water and flowers inside the cylinder. No fresh flowers? They can also be made out of paper!

21. Surprise boxes
Prepare small gifts for the child's birthday, not only for him, but for all the children invited to the holiday. Fold sweets or small toys into boxes of thick designer paper. Add them to the sweet table setting or reward the winners of children's competitions.

26. Origami for serving
On the Internet, there are many master classes on creating simple paper crafts using the origami technique. Start simple. If you get carried away, gradually learn to read the symbols on the diagrams and master complex shapes.

27. Napkin rings
Decorate the table with bat ring napkins. Draw on black card and cut out the outline of the bat wings, apply glue to the wings and sprinkle with glitter. Shake off excess glitter after drying. Fold the napkin like an accordion, roll the "bat" into a ring and fasten it on the napkin a little closer to one edge. Straighten the second edge.

28. Corrugated cardboard napkins
These napkins are cut out of corrugated cardboard. We circle a round tray or other object on cardboard and cut it out along the contour. We paint part of the napkin with a brush or stamp the pattern with a wine cork. In addition to napkins, you can make coasters for glasses and cups.

29. Heart shaped napkins
The ability to fold heart-shaped napkins will come in handy for romantic dinners. Make a little surprise for your loved ones on Valentine's Day or March 8th. Follow the link to see how.

Good afternoon, today I decided to collect in one article all ways make paper crafts that kids can do. For the DIY season of 2017 - it turned out to be a decent photo piggy bank of ideas that a child can make out of paper with their own hands. These paper crafts can be used for kindergarten or school (grades 1-5). There will be easy crafts for preschool children(from 3 to 7 years old) - for the younger, middle and older groups. And there will also be crafts and more complicated ones that require more long school hours(for 45 minutes) - suitable for labor lessons for children in grades 1, 2, 3, 4. As well as heads of creative circles "Skillful hands" kindergarten or school will find many useful paper craft ideas for themselves.

We will do flat crafts-applications.
Volumetric crafts from colored paper and corrugated cardboard.
craft toys from cardboard or thick paper.
crafts using various techniques(half disks, fan, symmetrical fold, postcard).

At the moment, we already have thematic articles on the site with paper crafts,

And also a lot of ideas for paper NEW YEAR crafts in the article:

And in this article - we will look at different techniques that can be used for paper crafts for children of different ages.

So let's see what paper crafts I have collected in this piggy bank.

Origami

In the technique of HALF DISK.

Colored paper crafts that we meet in kindergarten and at school most often look like applications. I myself really like effect applications 3D. There are quite a few ways to create bulges on the application.

In this article, I want to highlight a technology that is interesting in its graphics - these are crafts from round paper discs. When all the work is laid out in the form of whole or folded in half paper rounds.

Such a mosaic applique of round pieces is suitable for children 3-4 years old. It is just right for them in terms of pedagogical tasks of this age, when children still do not know how to work with scissors, but are already happy to glue ready-made template modules from colored paper.

Such crafts-appliqués look bright and unusual due to PARTIAL GLUE of modules - we put only half of the disk on the glue, and its second part sticks out in a fold.

And from circles or ovals bent in half, you can make not only flat applications, but also paper crafts-toys. Here's one for inspiration caterpillar of ovals bent in half- children from 3 years old cope with this task, if you help them fold the ovals in half. Children 4 years old will fold the ovals themselves, and even cut out a few of them. And for children 5 years old, you need to distribute colored rectangles, they themselves will cut the corners of the rectangles, thereby turning them into ovals, they themselves will bend them in half and fold them into a caterpillar.

Be smart and think WHAT ELSE can be constructed from paper semi-circles or semi-ovals. Surely you can make a frog, a panda, a giraffe, a hippopotamus, a penguin from such half-discs of a round or oval shape.

VOLUME application

From paper blades.

And here is another technology for convex paper applications. When the parts are glued in advance into the BLADES, and then such a bladed paper craft is glued with its blades onto the application cardboard.

Blades are obtained if Bend 3-4 identical parts in half, and then the bent walls of adjacent parts are glued to each other.

For example, the ladybug in the photo below consists from three paper circles. Cut out three circles, bent them in half. First, glue the halves bent in half on the left and right. And then the third kruglyash lays down like a book on the protruding halves of the glued kruglyash.

Craft "Ladybug" is suitable for children 3 years old. And the craft "Balloon" with a large number of blades is suitable for children 4-5 years old.

Any form of paper can be turned into a paddle part, the number of blades and the splendor of the part depends on how many parts you use in your bulk gluing.

In the same way, you can do paper crafts in three-dimensional form (in the form of objects) with your own hands - like these paper fruits in the photo below. Watermelon is suitable for crafts in the older group of kindergarten.

Origami

ON SPRINGS.

And here's another paper craft with a bulging effect. Here, the volume of the application is transmitted by embossing a strip of colored paper bent into three folds. This autumn application is easy to do with your own hands - suitable for children of the middle and older groups (5, 6 years old).

In the center of the upper fold, we cut a hollow and place the silhouette of an owl inside. To make the owl hover at a distance from the back wall of the hollow, you need to stick a paper spring on the back of the owl. How to make a spring you will now understand, using the example of the following paper craft with a three-dimensional effect.

Here below we see a BEAR paper craft. The bear's paws are also glued at a distance from the body. And this distance between the paws and the body is achieved by sticking paper springs. Everyone in childhood made such spring worms. Below we see a master class that shows the process of creating such a paper spring and the whole craft as a whole.

The BEAR craft is suitable for children 3-4 years old (if all the details are already cut out and the springs are folded). Children 4 - 5 years old you can slowly cut out the silhouettes yourself. Children 5-6 years old already able to fold the springs themselves (and the lesson can be divided into 2 parts- in the first lesson we make springs and cut out part of the silhouettes - in the second lesson we cut and assemble everything together.

In the same way, you can do any craft. Below we see that the crown of the tree is made according to this principle. But with the same success, you can do bunch of balloons on a greeting card. Or bouquet of flowers from paper, where each flower will be at its convex level.

You can highlight with a bulk spring any details of paper crafts - bird wings, tiers of thorns on a hedgehog (photo below).

Or hares in thick grass (spring crafts in the photo below).

You can also make this paper craft using springs inside. It turns out a beautiful effect. And also legs-stands for multi-layer applications can be made not from paper springs, but from purchased thick double-sided tape. Such a plump adhesive tape is for sale - it has a thick, as it were, foam tape and it is sticky on both sides. It can be cut into stumps and glued between layers of crafts.

From such springs, you can make not only applications, but also independent paper crafts. Make a spring and beat it with other paper parts. For example, attach an oval muzzle, round ears, paws at the bottom and a long stripe-tail - and now it all starts to look like a paper mouse.

But paper penguins crafts based on the same spring. Or crafts-bugs. There is always unused black paper in the kindergarten in a set of colored paper - you always don’t know what to make of it - but here you are, black bugs, penguins and little crows.

Origami

WITH FAN.

A paper fan is often used in children's crafts as a way to quickly create the desired shape of a part. Most often, a gluing fan is used as a tail for paper birds (or as wings).

The spreading fan blades may remind you of bat wings. Children's crafts for middle age (4-5 years).

The fan is similar to the lampshade of a table lamp - which means it will make an excellent do-it-yourself lamp craft (craft for children from 3 years old)

The fan can become the basis for children's crafts in the form of fairy-tale characters - friends of penguins or northern bears (crafts for children 5-7 years old).

If we fold the fan in half - and unbend its blades into 2 semicircles - and glue the semicircles that meet with glue, then we will get a ROUND FAN.

From such a blank, you can make a lot of paper children's crafts. The simplest and fastest are apples (add a stalk and a leaf) or birds (add a wing, an eye and a beak).

Ready-made blanks of round fans are used in classes with children 3-4 years. And aged 5 years the child is already given the task of creating such a round fan out of colored paper.

By adding various details to the paper fan, we can get the image of any paper animal (a black cat, or a red, white bunny (as in the photo with children's crafts below).

You just have to teach children how to make a fan with their own hands, practice several times. Then teach them to bend the fan in half and unfold both halves into two semicircles - and glue these semicircles with a glue stick. And then the children themselves will surprise you, they will throw up more and more new ideas for crafts, turn a round paper fan into a snowman, then into a mermaid bra, into a round red nose of a clown.

And if you make several round fans of slightly different diameters at once and string them on a wire, then we can get a voluminous spherical paper craft. The fan ball can become an apple, a pumpkin, a snowman, a sheep, a white rabbit and any other children's character.

Children's crafts

on an accordion stand.

There is another original way to make paper crafts for children. Below we see the principle of creating such crafts. From cardboard, we fold an ordinary accordion. And we use it as TIERS for sticking paper parts.
In the photo of the children's crafts below, we see how the accordion turned into a cake craft. Each row of an accordion is a tier of a cake with candles.

Note, the side high part of the craft in the photo below (where the balloons are) is not necessary.

In the same way, according to this principle, we can use the rows of an accordion like rows of Christmas trees in a forest. And between them put a deer or a snowman, or hide a bunny.
Rows of pots can be used as streets on which to place houses.
Or the rows of such a stand can be folded from blue paper and designed as SEA WAVES, and then it remains to stick dolphins or rows of boats on them. Or peeping sharks.

Origami

on a flat cardboard template.

And now we will see crafts for children, where all the elements are pasted on a silhouette cut out of thick cardboard.

For example, we take cardboard and draw a silhouette of a shark on it. Any child from 4 years old is already learning to cut with scissors - he cuts out the silhouette himself with his own hands, slowly crooked, but he should already myself cut along the line holding the scissors in a stationary hand, and rotate the sheet of cardboard as the cut line rotates along the silhouette ..

When the silhouette of a shark is cut out of blue cardboard, we give the child a round blank of white paper - the task of the child is to cut it into teeth (just stuff the triangles obliquely with scissors, and then bend every tooth so that it protrudes inside the general circle. And this paper mouth remains to be glued onto the silhouette of a shark. And we'll get awesome crafts for children 4-7 years old. Sharks are great crafts for boys. Little brave men will be happy to tame a dangerous sea predator.

Application details do not have to be from colored paper. For example, a scarf on a polar bear below is cut out of a cover from colored paper (the cover was in a box). And the carrot on the craft with the hare is white cardboard, which was previously painted with gouache (they painted yellow-orange-red stripes).

You can peep ideas for the same applications on a cardboard silhouette in children's cartoons, or see them on a children's coloring book.

Such paper crafts for children 5 years old can become the basis for a children's theater. If you stick on the back of each craft long handle made of thin wooden lath(you can buy it in the building department of the store) - or the pen can be rolled up from a sheet of paper and wrapped tightly with tape for tightness.
Children, hiding behind a screen and holding their characters on sticks, can put on performances entertaining parents, grandparents with homemade reprises of famous fairy tales.

And you can also cut round holes for children's fingers in such a craft - then you can already play the scenes of the TABLE THEATER. Here in the photo below we see a sheep and a hare made of paper with such slots for fingers.

Also, your paper characters can have a special PAW GRIP, and you can insert a candy or a pencil and a small gift for someone into this grip.

By the way, here's a good idea - such a character can be pasted on a postcard and give him a paw rolled up 100 dollar bill- you get a gift card with money for a friend's birthday.

Such flat cardboard crafts can be supplemented with FOLD elements (as in the bunny in the photo below), or TWIST elements (as in the snail below). Or additional ENTOURAGE elements (as with the cat below).

Children's crafts

with paper stripes.

Also, the application can be made voluminous if you use LOOP FROM PAPER STRIPS. Colored paper is cut into strips, and each strip is smoothly folded and glued at its ends. Such curved stripes can be the petals of a lush aster or a modest chamomile.

Or such paper loops can serve feathered swan- left photo below. This craft is suitable for children ages 4 and up. They themselves glue the already cut strips into loops and stick them in rows on the tail of the swan.

But the peacock (in the right photo above) is already craft for older kids. For grades 1-2 - because in a lesson in kindergarten, children in 25 minutes will not have time to make a peacock from start to finish. But in 45 minutes of a school lesson, children will just cope with this task.

Please note that the peacock is made of paper from strips of different lengths. The yellow strip is the shortest - it is the first to bend into a loop. Then the green strip is glued to the loop with one edge and also bent to the place where the yellow loop-strip is glued. Then we do the same with a slightly longer blue stripe.

Thus we get EIGHT THREE-COLOR LOOP for the peacock tail. They all stick together ribs to each other- in one bunch-bouquet. And at the junctions of their gluing, we attach peacock spots. Then we attach to the back cardboard silhouette of a peacock. Great creative piece.

Below we see how flower crafts are created according to the same principle. In the same way, we make a tail for our peacock from the photo above.

Or a paper craft for girls - SHOES-SANDALS - here the strips serve as straps to create a woven toe of paper flip flops.

And if you cut strips of the SAME LENGTH, then it is convenient to make a spherical braid out of them. Such a braid in the form of stripes crossed in a circle can serve as a shell for a turtle, a balloon, or the middle of a lush flower or a snowball from a snowman.

Or it can be a delicious apple bitten off the side (left photo below). And inside such an apple, you can put a worm from a paper spring (see above for the method with a spring).

If you glue the strips crosswise in the center ... and pierce holes from the ends with a hole punch ... and lift these ends with holes up ... and collect them on a thread, then we will get a paper pear craft (look at the right photo above).

What if take NOT SEPARATE strips - but cut a sheet of paper into strips NOT CUT TO THE EDGE - like a long fringe. And then arrange this long striped fringe in the form of a paper craft-hat.

By a similar principle, beautiful paper crafts are made in the form bird cages. Such a craft only at first glance seems complicated. But in fact, everything is available for children from 4 years old. And even a child of 3 years old can cope with the help of an adult who will show, then smear with glue and where to stick it.

Below we see this cage in the blank (photo-master class). First, these are paper strips on a wide strip of the base. Then we wrap the base in a ring. And we bend the strips sticking up into an arch, each relative to each other. Quick and easy craft. It remains only to make a paper bird and hang it on a string under this paper roof.

That is, such a craft is easy to do with your own hands for children even 3-4 years old.

And you can also make paper children's crafts based on a BALL from strips. A ball of stripes is collected on a needle and thread. Since you can’t give a needle to children, you can go the other way and make holes in three places of each strip in advance with a hole punch - along the center and along two edges.

The strips are folded crosswise onto the central hole - a thread is threaded into it from a suspended bead from below. A large bead at the bottom prevents the strips from slipping off the thread. Next, a few more beads are strung on the thread (see carefully inside the lamb, they are visible in the photo). And then the same thread is threaded into all the holes at the ends of all the strips - THIS IS THE BALL. If anyone does not understand, there is a photo-master class in

You can attach any details to such paper balls, turning them either into frogs or hares (as in the photo of children's crafts below). With your hands and your imagination, you can make a variety of animals.

These are the chickens and the hen made by craftswoman Tatyana. What characters will you invent? Such crafts from stripes can be done in the 1st, 2nd, 4th grade of the school. And it is also suitable for diligent children of 5-6 years old.

Origami

in the quilling technique.

And paper strips can be wrapped in a tight roll-twist. Then give this twist the shape of a petal or a leaf and make paper applications of flowers with such twists. The technique is quite well-known, called quilling. The technique is suitable for children from 5 years old, when the fingers are already dexterous enough to hold the twist on the holder rod.

Below we see how the usual round twist is given different shapes (they pinch it with a finger from the right sides) and the twist becomes tear-shaped or cup-shaped, or triangular. And from such twisted modules we add a quilling application.

Below we see children's crafts made of colored paper using this technique. You see, paper consumption does not have to be large - the craft itself looks miniature and can decorate a handmade postcard. The child will be pleased to give his mother a handmade card.

Within the framework of a school or kindergarten, the time for doing such crafts is limited - and we can only make a few of these modules. The process is laborious for children's fingers and takes time. You can break the craft into 2 classes - on the first we make modules, on the second we form crafts.

Children's crafts in the form of a cupcake are very popular with girls.

A cupcake and a bird is a very quick craft because it does not require many twists. Such crafts can be done by children in grades 1 and 2 - slowly, gently twisting and gluing the twist tails.

But a bear or a bunny is already a paper craft for children who have gotten their hands on simple quilling tasks. For grades 3, 4, 5 - this level of complexity of do-it-yourself crafts is just right.

By the same principle, you can make larger twisted crafts - if you take not a thin cut strip, but a folded sheet of paper. The thick folding of the sheet will allow you to get large twisted parts and you can make a large appliqué out of them - for example, such a penguin or an owl made of paper.

And also large twisting crafts are obtained from corrugated cardboard. Due to the ribbed relief, such a corton forms wide volumetric parts and can be used to make 3D paper toys. Craft for the older group of kindergarten or for school (grade 1,2,3,4).

Origami

based on the CONUS.

A paper cone is also a good base for children's craft ideas. We all made a Christmas tree from a cone in kindergarten with our own hands. And now we can already make any character out of paper in the form of a cone craft.

So that the cone is not too wide and not too narrow - its razmerka (flat pattern) should be an angle of more than 90 degrees - usually 120 degrees (as in the photo below) - that is, a third of a full circle.

For a giraffe, you can make the cone thinner and sharper. Then we need a quarter of a circle (that is, not 120 degrees, but 90 degrees is enough).

Origami
folded in half.

But children's crafts that are made from a sheet of paper that was bent in half and cut out the silhouette - as a result, we got a double-sided craft with the same symmetrical sides.

And paper birds can also be made using the same technique. In the bird (pictured below), we see that the wings are a fan made of paper or napkins. And in the fold of the upper part of the bird, we make a slot and insert the fan there.

For animal crafts, elephant ears can be inserted into such a slot. And also, for example, a lion's mane made of cardboard or thick paper.

To such BENDING CRAFTS, you can attach not only wings, but also a head - which will be perpendicular to the body. See the photo below with an example of a children's craft "Black Cat" made of paper.

The head of this cat is attached according to the same principle as the wings-fan of the bird above - ALSO IN THE SLOT. If you look closely, you will see that the head has fold too, which divides the head into 2 planes (posterior and anterior).

THE BACK PLANE OF THE HEAD continues with the ears, AND THE FRONT PLANE OF THE HEAD contains the glued eyes and whiskers of the cat.

A slot is made in the back of the cat (as in the bird above for wings) - and the BACK PLANE OF THE HEAD is inserted into this slot. And the front plane simply hangs in front and is not inserted into the slot.

A very simple paper craft for older children (age 5-6 years). And for children in grades 1-2, it’s also great do-it-yourself work.

It is possible to provide for such a craft scheme addition in the form of a tummy- like these hares below. To do this, you just need to draw additional processes of paper in the abdomen area, which then, after the silhouette is folded, WRAPPED WITH A ROLL and fastened with a stapler or glue.

You can slightly modify this principle of crafts - leaving between the two halves-bochins the UPPER BACK PLATFORM. That is, at the top of the part, make not one fold, but two folds at a distance of 1-2 cm from each other - this is how we get the back.

These bears made of cardboard (or thick paper) have just such a back.

And these paper birds (pictured below) also have a back. And thanks to this site, we were able to provide for the tail part (it became a natural continuation of the dorsal part of the bird).

Both birds and bears according to this scheme can be drawn in advance on a template made of paper, then circle this template on a sheet of cardboard by drawing in advance the internal fold lines (those that go along the back). And the task of the child is to cut the silhouette of the template and bend it along the internal lines. That is, the craft is available to children from 5 years old, and is suitable for middle and older groups of kindergarten and for school lessons of creativity and labor.

Origami

SIMPLE ORIGAMI.

For young children, it is difficult to make multi-step origami crafts. Therefore, it is better to start with simple schemes, which are then supplemented with cut out elements, giving them a resemblance to the intended character. So we get easy crafts.

You yourself, with your own hands, you can experiment with a sheet of paper - fold it this way and that, and then think about what this folding sheet might look like ... but what if ears are here, eyes are here, and nose is here .... wow, this looks like a great MOUSE.

Here's another simple folding of paper along diagonal lines that makes it possible to get a fold for the Ladybug craft. Spots and a muzzle can be drawn with a marker or cut out of colored paper.

The simplest thing a small child can do is fold a sheet of paper into two folds and get base-blank for a character made of paper, whose mouth opens, and therefore you can make him not only a muzzle, but also a mouth with teeth and tongue.

This children's craft is suitable for classes in paper design in kindergarten. She needs double-sided colored cardboard or the same thick paper. It is good to buy office colored paper for such crafts - it has a higher density than standard children's colored paper.

Or children can make their own hands like these easy folding bed crafts. To do this, a sheet of paper (A4 format) is cut along a beveled diagonal. And then it folds into 2 folds (to get 3 parts). The wide side of the folded paper is not glued onto a sheet of colored cardboard and then decorated according to the design of the sketch.

Children's paper crafts.

DROP template.

If we roll a wide strip of paper with the ends together, then we get teardrop-shaped twist.

On the basis of such a simple blank, you can also make a variety of craft designs - a blue paper whale, a ladybug (glue wings to a drop).

It is convenient to make mice or a hedgehog from a paper template in the form of a drop.

Can i to such drop-shaped details add on top round paper roll- to make a head. So even more options for simple and easy crafts - bunny, duckling, swallow.

Turn on your imagination and multiply ideas.

And if you connect a whole series of strips together like CHAIN LINKS, then you can get such a green crocodile from paper loops.

And here are some more simple crafts based on a wide strip, bent into a ring or into navicular shape.

In the craft with the boat - we first do holder at the bottom of the boat- it's just a small rectangle of paper, which has small sides bent on both sides. And then we glue the REAL BOARDS OF THE BOAT FROM BLUE PAPER to these bent sides. Rectangle with edges in the center will not let the sides of our boat collapse towards each other.

The craft is suitable for children from 5 years old.

And here is a children's paper craft, where white paper strips also imitate the body of a swan. Here the form holder is a roll of white paper twisted into a long tube. Craft for children 5-6 years old.

Crafts-postcards

from paper.

And of course, if you like to make children's crafts from paper and cardboard, then opener cards are a suitable topic for children from 3 years old. Ideas for opening crafts can be very different. For example, an aquarium with a fish. Or craft-valentine with spring birds.

You can make a simple children's craft in the form of a castle - the gates of which will be opened for boys by knights and soldiers, and for girls by beautiful princesses hidden inside a paper bastion.

Crafts-postcards can be a great gift for March 8, made by hand. For example, here is a cup with tulips. The handle for the cup can be cut out as a separate piece and glued to the side of the mug.

Or you can make an apron craft with carved paper lace (lace can be obtained from ready-made paper napkins, or cut a snowflake out of paper, cut off its lace edge and we will get a border for the apron.

You can cut out the silhouette of the can on the craft - seal it with a thin layer of the file (on double-sided tape). And also stick a paper pocket (the back wall of the craft) and put hearts in this transparent front pocket.

Here is another technique VOLUME POSTCARDS. She is simple. Fold a piece of paper in a fold. And on the edge of the bend we do 2 notches scissors (any length and width). And then we simply push the place between these incisions with a FINGER into the postcard - and it BUGS out in the form of such a rectangular stand.

And now we stick any element on this stand. For example a cupcake.

If you make three pairs of such cuts - push them with your finger inside the postcard, then you can stick a cupcake on each of them. And checkboxes on top. Here is a simple children's craft and ready. Interesting and non-standard.

To get started, practice on a piece of a regular sheet - bend in half, cut it twice and push the incised part inward. You will see that it is simple.

And you can show your kids the same way. And then on such a stand (already pushed inside the postcard) you will stick any craft (butterfly, dinosaur, rocket).

Any original ideas can be realized in this technique of voluminous postcards. That is, this is another field for children's fantasy paper crafts.

The longer you make paired cuts, the further the strip-stand will be curved inside your postcard. You can see this in the example with the postcard craft in the photo below.

Crafts openers can have a surprise in the form of a folding fan. Under such a folding bed, you can arrange a peacock with a magnificent tail.

Of course, such a complex carving (as in the photo below) is difficult for a child. But for children, you can simplify any idea - let the fan be not carved, but simply cut out the peacock spots separately and stick them on the fan blades.

Or a cot inside the postcard can be in the form folding chain of symmetrical elements- butterflies, flowers (that is, the main thing is that there is a symmetry of the folds).

We cut out any identical details - butterflies, flowers, hearts. The main thing is that the left half and the right one should be like a mirror image of each other. And then these parts can be glued in halves to each other (not all the halves should be smeared with glue, but only the outer edges). And then we get a multi-colored accordion of parts. And paste this accordion into a postcard. Also a beautiful craft - night butterflies, bright but against the background of a dark sky.

These are the ideas I collected and systematized - for your future paper crafts. I am sure that now you will not only be able to repeat the crafts presented here with the children, but also CREATE YOUR OWN AUTHOR'S WORKS for each of the proposed METHODS.

After all, when you understand the method, and when you see that it allows itself to be widely interpreted - multiplying the same technical idea in the form of a variety of crafts - then you just have to CONTINUE THE CHAIN OF IDEAS.

And I wish you the most original creative finds. And the children will be very happy to implement them in the most diligent and inspired way.

Good luck with your children's crafts.

Paper is a versatile raw material that is used in a wide variety of areas of human life. In the work of many people take this material as a basis. It will be very interesting for both adults and children to find out what crafts can be made from paper.

Original paper products

It’s not at all difficult to make beautiful paper crafts at home. A fair amount of various figures require the presence of drawn schemes according to which the product is assembled. Armed with a pencil and a ruler, anyone can create a craft according to the template. One has only to draw a diagram, and you can easily create pieces of furniture or gift boxes, for example.

Each interesting idea has instructions on how to make a craft. It is important to note that the dotted lines of the diagram are fold lines.

Photos of paper crafts, as well as detailed instructions and descriptions of the necessary materials and tools can be found on the net. In our article, we offer some options for crafts of different levels of complexity.

For the little ones

From a very young age, children begin to show interest in paper. We offer parents and children to make a bright and beautiful bird. Your baby can play with it or decorate the room with it.

Before you start working, you should prepare. You will need a bird template, cardboard, thin paper (square) and colored pencils or felt-tip pens. According to this template, you cut out a bird. Then draw the beak, feathers and tail.

Wings are made from a thin square sheet of paper. To do this, it is required to fold it with an accordion, and then fix it in the bird's body in a hole previously prepared.

It is important to remember that the cutting process must take place under the strict supervision of an adult. And do not forget to explain to the baby that after work all the tools should be put in their places.

Decorate the bird by sticking ribbons, sparkles or rhinestones on it.

Volumetric paintings

All paper crafts can be simple and complex. Application is considered one of the simplest techniques for making paper crafts. This type of creativity is studied by children in the early stages of education.

Work algorithm

Fold the napkin 4 times and staple in the middle. Cut corners to make a circle.
Form a flower by breaking apart the layers of the circle.
Cut out some green leaves.
Cut out the basket.
Glue all the details on a sheet of cardboard.

Please note that corrugated paper or foil can be used to make a basket.

Torn paper appliqué

Another way to apply without using scissors is to work with confetti or torn paper.

To work, you must have:

glue;
torn paper (or confetti) of different colors;
cardboard for the base;
pencil.

Work algorithm:

We put the image on the cardboard.
Spread alternately the details of the image with glue.
On top of the glue we put pieces of paper or confetti.

If desired, the picture can be decorated with a frame made of any other materials, or inserted into a frame for a photograph. Attach a loop on the back, and you can hang such a children's masterpiece on the wall.

Weaving

There is a huge variety of ways to learn how to make paper crafts using the weaving technique. This is a very original approach to creating an exclusive work.

The simplest in this technique is weaving from stripes in a checkerboard pattern. For those who are not looking for easy ways, work with paper tubes is suitable.

It is worth considering that the properties of the product will depend on the type of material you choose. You can work with:

plain paper;
newspaper;
tape for cash registers;
glossy magazines.

Thus, you will get a durable and high-quality product. When the product is woven, you can decorate it as you wish. There are no restrictions here.

Origami

Origami is one of the most difficult paperwork techniques. Next, we offer a master class on paper crafts using this technique. As an example, we will make a chicken.

To work on the product, you will need a square sheet of thin paper and pencils (black and red).

Work execution algorithm:

Fold the paper diagonally.
Expand.
Bend into two equal parts
Expand the left and right corners of the square.
Bend these corners into the middle in such a way as to combine them and get a pentagon as a result.
Bend the top of the cone to the middle.
Bend the same cone in the opposite direction, but so that a small corner remains outside the sheet, which will become a beak.
Align the left and right edges of the product, but so that the beak is on the left side.
Bend the upper right corner into the middle of the product.
Bend the lower right corner, which consists of two sheets, outward. When making these movements, it is important to combine the lower sides. Also at this time, you need to bring a small corner beyond the leftmost border. Thus, the paws turned out.
Turn a small corner-tail out to the outside.
Lower the beak a little.
Draw eyes with black pencil.
Color the beak with a red pencil.

The magic of origami surprises and intrigues children. Having mastered the technique yourself, you can teach your child to make new interesting toys.

If you show imagination, then from paper you can do whatever you want. Your craft will be exclusive in the first place because it is handmade. And it depends only on you how people will see it: color or black and white, flat or three-dimensional. In addition, now we have a choice of all kinds of raw materials for creativity and decor.

Photo of paper crafts

You like origami. Get excited about beautiful paper figures, but find it extremely difficult. Believe me, there is no need to engage in self-deception. Monks in ancient times figured out how to fold paper, special figures that were intended to decorate temples and conduct religious rites. This is not as difficult as it seems at first glance, and today we will try to prove it to you.

Work materials

To begin with, it will be necessary to purchase a set of tools for our future work. The first thing you need to pay attention to is the choice of paper. An office one is best because it is quite tough. It is quite enough for any folding schemes. To connect small parts, you need paper glue, for example, PVA or a special glue stick. If you need to connect several blanks of different colors, aerosol glue will come to the rescue, when using it, you can create unique multi-colored figures.

You can use other specialized masses of glue, especially those that do not leave any marks on the paper or are quite easy to remove. At the same time, it is convenient to fix with such glue both outside the product and inside. If the figurine is made of white or gray paper, then you can use spray paint to give the craft the desired color. Several types of scissors may be required. Sometimes a cutter comes in handy. This tool performs alignment of slices. Be very careful, the blade can be very sharp, otherwise you will not get a smooth and beautiful cut.

Buy several different lines. They are useful for making a craft scheme, tracking the desired angle during assembly, applying the main part and correctly placing the product based on the panel. Regular pencils or a special pencil will come in handy. Experienced origami makers use rhinestones, various ribbons, pieces of fabric, unnecessary beads, beads, the remains of other decorations, and much more in their work. All this is suitable for creating unique and original figurines.

The right approach to paper selection

To get the result, the choice of paper should be approached with full responsibility. After all, the creation of figures mainly involves bending and folding paper sheets. A lot, if not all, depends on its quality. The list below will allow you to understand which material is best suited for origami, and which is not suitable at all:

Office paper is quite thick, tough and quite cheap. The first steps in creating figures must be done with the help of it. When connecting a piece of paper, it is very good to hold on, and if the workpiece is damaged, it is absolutely not a pity to throw it away.
Multi-colored office paper - has the same advantages as plain office paper and does not appear spots and white stripes on the folds, great for modular origami.
Stickers - great for multi-colored figurines, most often used in modular origami and kusudami.
Colored paper for school - 100% not suitable for this hobby. Thin, not dense, torn quite easily, light stripes remain at the folds.
Foil paper - very dense, almost impossible to tear, more often used for making complex diagrams and models. If you straighten the fold, there will be hard, dense stripes.
Glossy magazine pages - perfectly retain their shape and fold, quite dense.
Banknotes - good strength, show themselves well on the folds. Perfect for creating small exclusive gifts.
Paper intended for origami - has several types (double-sided, monotonous, and so on), occurs in the form of sets.
Tracing paper - suitable for those who take the first steps decided to test their strength.
Different variations of expensive paper - have both advantages and disadvantages and are used only for certain products.

What are the types of origami

There are several types of origami that help you have a great time, learn how to create jewelry with your own hands, improving your skills and abilities over time. In addition to the well-known origami techniques of the so-called classical direction, there are several alternative ones:

Ordinary (simple) origami - suitable for those who decide to try themselves in a new business. Assembling the figurines does not require special skills, the folds must be made towards oneself in the so-called valley or away from oneself as a mountain. A good example is the figurine of a crane.
Modular origami (blanks from modules). The connection is carried out from several identical parts, called modules, which are formed according to the laws of ordinary origami from a single sheet. Connected by simple folding. Do not crumble due to the force of friction between the individual modules.
Aerogami is a name that speaks for itself. The art of creating aircraft figures.
Kusudami - origami using volume, modules are assembled using glue or thread. Most often, crafts are made in the form of a ball.
Kirigami - making various figurines with scissors. Suitable for making holiday cards.
Raw or wet origami. Based on water-moistened paper to give products a more expressive shape, hardness and clarity of lines. More often found in the manufacture of figures of animals and unusual plants. The paper must contain water-soluble glue, otherwise the product will inevitably spread.

Crane - origami

One of the simplest models, it is believed that if you collect 1000 cranes, your most cherished desire will come true.

A step-by-step instruction for making an origami crane looks like this:

We bend the paper sheet diagonally.
We take scissors and cut off all unnecessary, as a result, a triangle should remain.
We make one more fold.
From the resulting triangle, (One because there are 2 of them), we make a square by straightening. On the other hand, we repeat the procedure.
We take the edges from above and gently bend them towards the center.
Bend the triangle located on top.
We unbend, we form a contour.
Bend the bottom corner horizontally.
We fold the edges to the center, until we get a rhombus. We repeat all the steps on the other side.
We take it by the bottom and bend along the inner counter. Got a neck.
We also make a tail.
At the neck, gently bend the beginning to get a beak.
We bend the wings using a small angle.

The crane is ready, you can color it if you wish.

paper rose

One of the most popular models is the origami rose. Making it is quite simple:

We bend a sheet in half, preferably red. We make one more fold.
We make the opening of the top layer and flatten the top a little.
Turn to the other side, turn over.
We repeat the second step.
Take both corners and fold to the top corner.
The resulting triangle, bend in half until you get the fold lines.
Pull the corners down a little flattening and open the triangles.
We take the pockets by the upper part, and very carefully bend down.
On the other hand, repeat steps 5-8.
We bend the top corner.
Like a notebook, open the bottom.
Stretch and flatten until two triangles are obtained.
I put the workpiece on the other side.
Raise the triangle up.
The lower square located to the right bends strictly diagonally from top to bottom.
Rotate the workpiece 180 degrees and repeat the previous step.
We shift the product to the left hand, carefully take the fingers of the other hand behind the walls of the product and twist it clockwise until we get a rose. We bend the petals with a handle.

Volumetric origami - flower ball

Making a beautiful origami in the form of a flower ball is very simple, the main thing is to be patient and follow the instructions:

Fold the note paper in half to form a triangle.
We bend the edges and press them very strongly.
Fold the right corner back.
We bend the left side of the triangle, folding in half.
We do the same with the right.
Then fold the whole piece in half.
The triangle below is folded in half again.
In this case, the larger figure should be on top of the smaller one.
We fold the part of the protruding triangle and bend it inward.
One module is ready, we do the same with 4 more sheets. They must all be completely identical.
We glue the modules or put them on adhesive tape.
The first flower is ready, we do the rest in the same way.
It will take about 11 of these flowers, we connect them together, with glue until we get a ball.

Origami in the shape of an Easter egg

To create an egg, you need to make about 1000 modules. They will be fastened with grooves. Colors and patterns are limited by your imagination. The assembly starts from the top, take 8 modules of the same color and make a circle out of them, add another module between the rows. It turns out two rows of 8 modules. In the next row, two blanks are added between the rows. To increase the volume, it is necessary to add modules in each subsequent row. There should be 32 modules in the middle. The bottom is assembled in exactly the same way, but the number of modules will decrease.

After the egg is ready, you can start making the stand. We take 18 modules and form a circle from them. Modules are inserted into the unoccupied gaps of the row. We come up with a pattern by selecting blanks by color. Details for the central axis of the stand consist of two rows of 12 pieces. To start row number 3, you need to move the modules towards the center, twisting them a little. We lay out the finished parts up. We have a column. In the middle of the stand there will be 7 rows of modules. The top is assembled in the same way as the bottom.

Modular origami in the form of a white swan

Step-by-step instructions for creating a modular origami in the form of a beautiful volumetric swan:

We make 458 blanks from plain paper in the form of a triangle. For the beak we make one red.
We insert two modules with corners into the pocket of the third.
We add 2 more. We fasten the corners into pockets.
We prepare 3 rows in the same way, 30 blanks will be needed for each, we close the circle.
We also put on modules for 4 and 5 circles.
We hold the product with our fingers and press on the center, gradually turning it out.
We bend the edges of our future swan to the top.
We make the 6th row, observing the staggered order of the arrangement of the blanks.
We are preparing blanks for the wings in the seventh row, for which we put on twelve modules, skipping 2 corners, we fasten another 12. There will be a neck on the left narrow place, on the extended tail.
In the eighth row, the number of modules in the krill is reduced by one.
Then we also do with each row until one triangle remains.
The tail is made by decreasing by a module in each row.
The head and neck are assembled from 10 ordinary and one colored blanks, red or yellow. The corners of the colored blank must be glued so that the beak does not fork. We collect the neck, inserting the corners into the pockets of the blanks, then gradually arching.
We put the neck in place.

The swan is ready.

Anyone can learn origami more fully, you need to have a little free time and desire, and you will succeed.
