Using thin paper, such as paper napkins, you can master the decoupage technique. Its essence lies in the fact that the surface of any object, for example, glass or wood, is pasted over with a paper picture, which is then covered with acrylic varnish to protect it from moisture and burnout.
Step 3
Some things can be made out of paper without the use of glue. These can be crafts made using origami and kusudama techniques. The first ones were made at first from square sheets of the same color. Origami today is simple, modular, and wet. Now for making crafts, rectangular, five-, six- and even octagonal sheets are used. In the kusudama technique, the most beautiful balls are made from separate modules, which can be used to decorate the interior in an original way. A large number of diagrams with instructions for making such crafts can be found on the Internet. The simplest of them will be enjoyed by children.

Kirigami is a kind of origami, in which paper cutting with scissors is permissible, and Pop-up is a technique that combines elements of kirigami with folding volumetric paper structures into one plane. The postcard made in this way resembles a clamshell book with a three-dimensional image.

As a result, they are used to decorate photo frames, greeting cards, gift wrapping. To work, you only need paper, scissors, glue and a knitting needle to curl the paper.
