Origami hand made of paper: instruction
The origami hand that you can make right now looks unusual and even a little intimidating. It can be gifted to a friend as a fun souvenir, used as a keychain, or even a cat toy. However, if you wish, you can find this craft and some other use.
The assembly of this product itself is quite simple and straightforward. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
Find (make, buy) a square piece of paper. It is best to keep it thinner so that it will be easier and more comfortable to bend.
So, fold a square piece of paper diagonally. You should now have a triangle. Then bend its bottom corner to the top and turn the product over. Now fold the bottom corner (opposite of the previous one) to the top. Spread the product from the middle of the figure. You should now have a double triangle. After straightening its edges, fold the product in half. Repeat this action one more time.
Turn the piece over so that its sharp corner is facing you. Then fold it (this corner) to the base of the other two corners. After peeling back the sharp corner, make the fold again along the line formed after the previous step. Fold the base of the triangle to the same line. Fold the folded top corner towards the top. Fold to the bottom vertex and the base of the triangle.
Turn the product over. Bend the top of the sharp corner towards the middle of the triangle; repeat the same for the bottom edge. Then unfold the product. Bend the top corner of the triangle along with the entire side towards its base.
Expand the shape. Fold one of the bottom corners of the triangle towards the other. Make sure that the fold line does not reach the middle of the figure. Fold the side of the already folded corner back. After that, proceed to "pulling out" all sides of the product. You should have a hand with five fingers. Now the hardest part is over. The next steps should only add completeness to your figure.
For a more dramatic look, you can slightly bend the fingertips of your paper hand. As a result, you will be able to create the illusion of claws. To make paper fingers look voluminous, you can bend each of them along the sides.
If you want to bend one or more fingers, straighten the sides first. A paper hand acquires an effective outline if you bend its fingers in several places. Touch up the folds on the paper hand as you see fit.
That's it, you have a hand made of paper. As you can see, the assembly is really quite simple. And you didn't need to use glue, tape, or even scissors. Surely the resulting craft from the category of funny souvenirs will win the heart of any person with a sense of humor.
How else can you make a hand out of paper: another way
You can also make a paper hand from pieces of newspaper. To do this, you need newspaper, heavy paper or cardboard, papier-mâché and glue. You can make the product the same size as your own hand. Make 5 tubes of the desired size from pieces of newspaper, which will later become "fingers".
Cut a palm out of cardboard or thick paper. To do this, first circle your own palm with a pencil on a sheet of cardboard, then carefully cut it out. Glue your fingers to the cutout shape. Then wait until the glue is completely dry. To make the paper hand look more realistic, bend its fingers a little and secure the folds with glue. In order to hide the newspaper, simply paste over the resulting product with plain napkins.
