A three-dimensional shape made of paper - we create beauty with our own hands

Looking at how this or that voluminous figure made of paper is made, one does not even believe that such a beauty was created from a regular sheet. And after all, no special devices are needed, you need a sheet of two-sided colored or white paper and glue.

We make a ball. Start

To make such a beautiful volumetric ball of paper, you need a sheet of two-sided colored paper about 30x15 cm. We put his greater side to himself. If you decide to first deal with the production of 3D origami, you can simplify the task by pouring a paper sheet into small squares. To do this, take a ruler and draw on this sheet first transverse, and then longitudinal strips, at a distance of 1 centimeter from each other. As a result, we get even rows of squares measuring 1x1cm.

After you understand the principle of manufacturing, you will need to do without a pencil. First, fold the paper transversely. Strips should be produced, but formed already with the help of folds. Similarly, longitudinal strips are made, thanks to the folding of the sheet.

We continue to create

But while we continue to help ourselves with a pencil. With its help in each square you need to draw two diagonal lines. You can put the ruler in such a way as to draw just one diagonal on several squares. Although it is enough to draw it in the first two or three, and then bend the squares on imaginary diagonals. Very soon a beautiful three-dimensional shape of paper will turn out.

We look at the first corner square. We look only at the 2 halves of the diagonals on the right. We need to put them together. The same is done with the left halves of the diagonal lines - we add them together. In the middle of each square, too, we make a fold. Fingers make clear folds to get a three-dimensional shape of paper. Folds of diagonals, squares themselves should be directed to one - the front side and clearly visible.

We give the shape of the ball

Now try, starting from one side of the sheet, fold it in the form of an accordion. But unlike the accordion, we add it not only along the vertical, but also along the horizontal, diagonal lines. If somewhere you can not fold, then use your fingers to more clearly mark the fold line.

If everything turned out, then we continue. Again, we lay the already obtained corrugated sheet with the long side facing us and do the reverse work (from the sides). With the help of fingers, we unfold this beauty in a 1.5 cm wide section. This is necessary for better gluing of the edges, so that the three-dimensional shape of the paper turns out to be a ball.

Take the glue stick and the left upper short edge of the paper. We spread it with glue from above. Exactly the same, but already the right corner is also greased with glue. We glue the paper overlap at this point, so that the width of the seam is 1.5 cm. Similarly, we glue together the lower corners. But in the middle we work a little differently - the width of the seam here should be small - 0.4 cm.

A ball of paper: we did it!

So we unevenly stitched the seams, so that in the middle the figure was more convex than the center. Then we get the shape of the ball. Well, we have done so only its side. It is necessary to designate the top. First, we must again clearly identify the lines on the squares where they became poorly visible. It is necessary that each square is perfectly bent along the horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines. Especially carefully it should be done at the top and at the bottom of the ball - these places are not sealed. Now we are trying to connect this top and bottom. When the item straightens, you get a three-dimensional ball.

You can not attach the product to the shape of the ball, but leave it as it is, gluing eyes, handles. It will not be a three - dimensional geometric figure made of paper, but a real toy.

In the same way, you can make other shapes.

Bulk cube of paper

The easiest way is to make it from an ordinary school sheet in a box. On such a material, you can immediately see where to designate the folds, and they will turn out perfectly smooth. Thus, it is easier to make origami from paper. Volumetric figures turn out equal. It is especially good for such a master to learn novice masters.

We measure along the length of as many centimeters as the width of the sheet has a sheet (20 cm) and the extra cut off. We have a square of 20x20 cm. We fold the sheet in half, and then again in half. A square was formed with a side of 5 cm, consisting of 4 sheets.

We take the uppermost sheet of his hand and bend it to the left. A triangle was formed. The side that was the extreme upper of the square became the height of the triangle.

Finishing the cube creation

Turn the square to the other side. The same triangle is done on the other side. As a result, you get 2 completely identical triangles, lying one on the other.

If it is difficult to do 3D paper figures for the first time, the schemes will simplify the task. But so far it is quite clear. The beginning of the creation of this figure is reminiscent of the design of tulip paper, and many of them have already been in the classroom at elementary school. And like the "tulip", now one rectangular triangle bends one of its acute angle to the top of the right angle. In total, we bend 4 corners in this way - 2 for one and the same for another triangle. The figure magically transformed into two rhombuses, lying one on the other.

Now we need 2 lateral corners of the diamond, which bend well. We bend them to the center. At these corners formed a "pocket". In it we put 2 corners of the same rhombus. One in one pocket, the other in the other. We turn the figure around and do exactly such manipulations with the rhombus located on the reverse side. A hole formed at the top of the figure. Blow into it and thanks to this the figure will fill with air and turn into a rhombus.

Here you can make origami from paper. Volumetric figures are obtained original and textured.
