Not a single New Year's celebration will do without Santa Claus, therefore, with the onset of winter, crafts with this fabulous character are especially relevant. Traditional portraits of the wizard grandfather will become an indispensable attribute of the festive decoration. The easiest way is to cut Santa Claus out of paper, after which the blank can be decorated at your discretion. Such an activity is the best fit for family activities with children.
It is necessary
- - album sheet;
- - simple pencils;
- - ruler;
- - colored pencils (markers, paints);
- - scissors;
- - stationery glue;
- - colored paper.
- Additionally: tracing paper.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a paper figure of Santa Claus on a stand. To begin with, draw with a simple pencil a grandfather with a hat, a lush beard, hands in mittens and legs in large felt boots, placed in opposite directions. You can use a ready-made image from the Internet - translate the drawing through a luminous monitor using tracing paper.
Step 2
Fold the album sheet in half along the center transverse line, carefully straightening the fold. Draw two parallel straight lines from the toes of both boots of Santa Claus down with a ruler. After that, very carefully cut out the depicted figure (do not unfold the leaf!) Along the solid cut line: the drawing itself and the strip below.
Step 3
Unfold the piece of paper. You should have a double piece - the front and back parts of Santa Claus, connected by a solid strip (future craft stand). Color the fairytale character so that the front and back designs match.
Step 4
Lubricate the inside of the workpiece from the level of the crown of the grandfather's hat to felt boots with office glue and tightly connect the two sides of the figure. Make sure that no adhesive comes into contact with the paper strip! Wait a little for the craft to stick together properly, then place the paper Santa Claus vertically and press it to the table. Straighten the folds with your fingers and glue the inner surface of the stand.
Step 5
Make a figurine of a fairy-tale character from several multi-colored parts. Draw with a simple pencil: on pink colored paper - a circle (head); on the red one there are small and large triangles (cap-cap and caftan), a small circle (nose), four rectangles (upper and lower limbs). On a white sheet, depict a fur trim and a pompom of a cap, felt boots, thin stripes for bangs.
Step 6
Cut out all the paper pieces and glue the grandfather figurine out of them. Stick the strands of hair close to the fur edge of the hat, then wind each one with a pencil. Grandfather's bangs should curl the top perky. Draw eyes for Santa Claus, or make them out of colored paper.
Step 7
Place Santa Claus made of paper with a stable stand under the Christmas tree, on a table or shelf for decorating a festive display. A figurine made of different parts can serve as an applique for a colorful poster. If you attach thread loops to the hats of both homemade fairy-tale characters, your crafts will become magnificent Christmas decorations.
