Instructions
Step 1
It is best to make shapes and other crafts out of colored cardboard. Cardboard figures can be one-sided, which will allow you to attach them to the surface using double-sided tape. Double-sided crafts can be hung on threads. Volumetric figures are placed on stands.
Step 2
To make shapes out of cardboard, paint your chosen pattern onto the cardboard and cut out the details. Connect the parts with glue, wire or plasticine.
Step 3
To make a lion figure, prepare a toilet paper roll. You will also need: colored pencils, black, brown and light brown cardboard, scissors, PVA glue. Draw the face of a lion on brown cardboard. There is a mane on a light brown cardboard. Make the size of the muzzle the same as the circumference of the toilet paper roll.
Step 4
Cut out both parts of the muzzle and paste it onto the mane. Cut the nose out of black cardboard and stick it on. Draw the eyes with colored pencils, the mouth on the lion's face, and paint the ends of the mane. Cut out four legs and a lion's tail from light brown cardboard. Draw a brush on the tail and make small cuts on it. We glue the PVA glue all the parts of the lion to the cardboard cylinder, which will be the body.
Step 5
Try another bee shape. You will need corrugated cardboard of black and blue colors, brown cardboard, scissors, colored pencils. Draw the body of the bee on brown cardboard. On the smooth side of the blue corrugated cardboard, draw two wings. Cut out these three pieces.
Step 6
Draw the face of the bee with colored pencils. Cut and glue strips of corrugated black cardboard on either side of the bee's body. Cut off excess strips. Cut two more strips of corrugated black cardboard and glue them like tendrils on top of the head. Then glue the wings on either side of the torso. Make a hole in the bee's torso and tie a string to it.
Step 7
It is very easy to make original bookmarks from cardboard. Draw a strip on cardboard, at the end of which there is an image of any figurine without a head, for example, the body of a fish with a tail. Cut out the finished bookmark. Placing it in a book, it looks like a fish stuck its head in a book. Available materials and simple technique of execution will allow you to create amazing things.
