Foil is a wonderful material for making Christmas tree decorations. She not only sparkles, but is able to keep her shape perfectly. Of course, for bulky crafts, soft foil, like the one in which candy is wrapped, is preferable. From it you can make, for example, small shiny spiders.
It is necessary
- - 2 shiny candy wrappers;
- - scissors.
Instructions
Step 1
Instead of candy wrappers, you can take colored thin foil for Christmas tree decorations. A culinary one, which is sold in rolls, is also suitable. Cut 2 rectangles from it, equal in size to the candy wrappers. But you can make more spiders. For the eyelet, take a small piece of foil of some bright color.
Step 2
Fold one candy wrapper in half with the long sides aligned. Cut it along the fold line. Fold each half lengthwise and cut. These will be blanks for pairs of legs. Fold one in half lengthwise, then again. Do the same with the rest of the pairs of legs. Smooth the folds carefully. Thin foil without a paper base holds its shape well, so you can do nothing else with the legs. However, they will be thinner and more graceful if twisted slightly with the thumb and forefinger of your right hand. You should have a thin, dense "wire". Roll and twist the remaining pairs of legs in the same way
Step 3
Divide the second candy wrapper along, first into two, and then into four parts, but do not cut it. Mentally divide the strip lengthwise into 3 parts. You need 1/3 and 2/3 line segments. A smaller part is needed for the head, a large part for the torso.
Step 4
Make the eyes. Fold the small strip in the same way as you did for the legs. It is not necessary to twist it. Place the eyelet blank on the large strip. Roll the head edge of the strip into a roll up to the neck.
Step 5
Fold all pairs of legs together and grab the bun in the middle. Align it with the middle line of the large workpiece. Roll the other side of the strip into a roll. Using gentle pressure with your fingers, shape your torso and head into a round shape. Roll eyeballs from the ends of a small colored blank. Bend your legs at the knee joints and give them different positions.
