How to make claws of paper?

The claws of paper are quite simple, but there are a total of three separate types of paper claws. In general, this kind of needlework is called origami. This is the oldest art, with which you can make any figure of any size from paper, and sometimes even make it move (for example, you can make a frog from colored paper that jumps when pressed). So, let's move on to how to make claws from paper.

Method one: without glue and scissors

First, do not think that such claws immediately fall apart, since they are not glued together! You just need to correctly wrap the ends of the paper inside the claw, then it will retain its shape and it will hold well on your fingers. To make it clearer how to make a claw out of paper, the order of actions with the sheet is arranged in the form of sub-clauses that follow one after another in the same sequence in which they are indicated.

1. Take a square sheet in such a way that its tips look up and down, that is, that a piece of paper is represented by a diamond.
2. Make from a piece of paper, and when you do it, try on the finger on which you plan to clothe a claw. In other words, at this stage you make the base of the claw, which is a cone, the base of which is your finger.
3. Gently bend the protruding tips, fixing them and simultaneously supporting the claw so that it does not lose its shape. If you do everything right, the claw will not fall apart and it will be good to sit on your finger.

By the way, this method is good for those who have experience of making such claws, since from the first few people it is possible to do them properly, here you need training. Interesting fact: in this way in America for the holiday of all the saints (Halloween) children make their own claws on their fingers, decorating them (or just hanging them around their necks).

Method two: glue + scissors

This method is great for those who make claws for the first time or simply do not understand how to make claws of paper without using glue and scissors. This method is distinguished by its unique simplicity: in ten to fifteen minutes of work you can make claws on all fingers. For this method, you need: sheets of paper, the number of which coincides with the number of planned claws, scissors (they must be sharp enough, so do not take those that "chew" paper) and good quality glue (not those that smeared with thick Layers or generally flow). So, let's begin.

• Fold a cone from the sheet of paper that will easily fit into your finger, but it will not fall down.
• The tips that protrude from the base should be carefully cut with scissors.
• Glue the claw so that all the glue is under the layer of paper, as it will stick and collect on itself fine dirt and dust, and this will spoil the general appearance of the claw.
• Do all of the above actions as many times as you want to have claws.

Tip: If you have a desire to paint claws, then wait until the glue on them dry, because the paint "floats" where there will be a layer of glue.

Method three: without scissors, but with glue

Such claws are particularly strong, as they are not only glued, but bent inwards with their tips. Before you make claws of paper, make sure that the glue is of good quality and will not ruin the work.

• Make a small cone out of the paper, try to put it on your finger.
• Glue the joints of the paper with glue.
• Fold the corners sticking out at the base and glue them so that they do not interfere.

Tip: Do not wear the claws on your fingers until the glue dries completely, because when you start taking the claw off your finger, it deforms.

If you do it right, your claws will be neat and will not fall off your fingers. If you have a desire to decorate the claws, you can paint them, wrap them in colored threads or braid the wire with beads. Choose any method you like how to make claws of paper, and get to work!
