How to make fan pinwheels with your own hands
Making fan pinwheels is not at all difficult. In return, you will get a lot of pleasure, both from the manufacturing process itself and from the result.
Materials:
- multi-colored paper for scrapbooking 30x30 cm;
- stapler, glue or double-sided tape;
- scissors or a figured hole punch if you want to apply a pattern;
- optional: cardboard or foam canvas.
Let's get started:
1. Fold a sheet of paper lengthwise in a zigzag pattern, leaving 2.5 cm between the folds.
2. Next, take the resulting accordion and fold it in half, as shown in the photo. Then staple the inside edges from the wrong side. Alternatively, you can cut the piece down the middle and glue the quarters together with glue.
3. Follow the same steps with two or three more sheets of paper and connect all the blanks together into a whole circle. To make the fan even more beautiful, the ends of the folded accordion can be rounded or trimmed with curly scissors, and using a hole punch, you can apply an ornament to the fan.
A beautiful and bright volumetric paper umbrella can be used as room decor, as well as interesting craft, which will appeal to all children. And the main thing is that it is absolutely not difficult to make such a variety of colors.
Materials you will need:
- Colored paper of various colors;
- Cocktail straw;
- Double-sided tape;
- A simple pencil, a compass, scissors, a glue stick.
If you need a small umbrella, you can save on colored paper by using multi-colored leftovers.
How to make a three-dimensional umbrella from paper?
To work you need circles of colored paper. I have 20 circles, but 15 may well be enough, especially with a small umbrella size. For a large umbrella, you can cut out all 20, so it will appear at its maximum beauty.
Fold the circle exactly in half.
Then again to make a quarter circle.
Turn all the colorful paper circles into these quarters.
To prevent the parts from opening in the future, you need to secure them a little with glue. Open the quarter and apply a little glue on top. There is no need to use the entire half.
Glue the sides together. Now they will be fastened only in the upper part, without preventing the lower part from opening properly.
Glue all the quarters together.
Next, they need to be glued together, but not anyhow, but in a certain way. Place two quarters, split sides down, as shown in the photo. This is the position in which they need to be glued together - bifurcated side to bifurcated side, right angle to right angle.
Glue must also be applied between these two quarters.
But here, too, you should not completely fasten the entire side. Only the upper part is enough so that the lower part can open. In the photo, the quarter is divided into two parts, but this division is arbitrary so that it is clear where to apply the glue. As you can see, only the upper part of the quarter is involved.
Glue the two parts together.
And behind them come everyone else. You can stack them and press them firmly so that the glue is properly secured.
After this, close the circle by gluing the sides of the first and last quarter. Prepare a cocktail straw. Bend its edge in the area of the accordion, try it on your umbrella and, if necessary, shorten the tube.
Glue double-sided tape to the tube, remove the film and quickly place it in the hole in the umbrella. Can replace tape glue gun, glue moment. PVA and pencil do not interact well with plastic. There is a risk that the cocktail tube will not stick at all.
This is how a voluminous paper umbrella turned out. Very bright and positive.
Her skirt, or rather her skirt, was made using the same technique.
