With our own hands we make a bird made of cardboard and napkins, this simple and beautiful decoration can be a terrific gift for loved ones
If your child has free time,Invite him to make a bright and unusual autumn craft with his own hands. In this master class we will describe how to easily and simply make a bird from cardboard and napkins with your own hands. By following a simple algorithm of actions, your child will be able to independently make a colorful and funny bird, which will serve as an excellent decoration for a child’s room. In addition, you can make not just one, but several of these birds, and they can perfectly decorate your room or even your entire apartment.
What do we need for this wonderfulbirds? You will need cardboard, napkins with interesting patterns, scissors, colored paper and a hole punch. You will also need glue for decoupage, which you can make yourself. To do this, you need to mix water and PVA glue in a one-to-one ratio. We are preparing unusual napkins for counterfeiting; we will use them a little later.
First of all, we take cardboard and draw a bird on its reverse side. The bird can be of any size and shape, you can get creative here. Cut out the bird.
On a cardboard bird we apply our homemadeglue, then place a napkin on it, carefully smooth out any wrinkles that may form and trim off any excess napkin around the edges. Now our semi-finished craft for schoolchildren should dry. After the cardboard bird has dried, turn it over and apply glue again, then lay down a napkin, trim the edges and leave to dry.
After waiting for the bird to dry, coat the napkin with a layer of glue on one side, wait until it dries, and repeat the same thing on the other side.
While our bird is drying, we won't losetime is in vain and let's start making the tail and wings. We will need double-sided colored paper or graph paper. To make the wings we cut out a square, and for the tail — rectangle.
Then, fold the resulting pieces of paper into a fan and cut off the ends as shown in the picture below.
As a result, you should end up with blanks like this.
We fold each resulting piece in half.
Next, we need to carefully cut small holes in the bird through which we will stretch the tail and wings. This is why we need a hole punch. If you don't have one, then a utility knife will do the job.
Now we pull the tail and wings through the holes made. Our DIY bird for schoolchildren is ready!
