Crafts from corrugated paper

Corrugated paper is a great material for creativity. It is used to create crafts, jewelry, postcards and gifts.

Using soft corrugated paper, you can create bright themed crafts for kindergarten or school.

The beautiful crepe paper maple leaves can be used for postcards, fall arrangements, or even home decoration. They are very simple to do.

1. First, you need to cut 5 rectangles out of corrugated paper. One of them should be the largest, two - the smallest and two more very small.
2. The large part must be carefully cut diagonally.
3. One of the parts must be glued to the wire with an acute angle.
4. The second half must be attached to this part with an overlap.
5. The remaining parts must also be cut and glued so that the sharp corners are connected to each other.
6. After that, they can be attached to the base.
7. The edges of the resulting sheet must be carefully corrected, making them sharper.

Another interesting craft that you can do with your own hands is a simple cone on a spruce branch. To create it, you will need paper of two colors, scissors and floral sticks. The step-by-step process for creating this easy craft consists of the following steps.

1. First you need to make a spruce branch out of green paper. To do this, cut a strip 6-8 centimeters wide from the roll.
2. It is necessary to make many cuts on it, not reaching the edge.
3. Each of these thin strips must be carefully twisted to form long spruce needles.
4. According to the same scheme, you need to make a few more similar details.
5. Having dealt with the blanks, you can start creating full-fledged branches. The green detail needs to be wound on a floral stick. In this case, the layer should not be too dense. The more cuts were made on the strip, the more magnificent the twig will turn out.
6. After that, you can start creating a bump. Fold the brown strip in half. Its approximate width is 7 centimeters.
7. The edge of the part must be carefully wrapped to form a side.
8. This edge needs to be embossed. After that, the tape must be twisted. The embossed edges should be close to each other.
9. When the cone is ready, twist its edges and wrap it in a small piece of green paper.

The cone is very easy to attach to the branch by this tip. The attachment point can be decorated with a large bow. The pine cone created according to this scheme can also be used for other crafts with the theme of autumn.

A corrugated paper cake is not only a great decoration, but also a good gift wrapping. To create it, in addition to the colored material, you will need a blank made of penoplex. To create a three-tiered cake, you need to prepare three parts with a diameter of 12, 17 and 25 centimeters. Penoplex discs must be carefully sanded using sandpaper. They should be smooth and even. After that, you can start creating crafts.

Another simple craft that a child can make even at 3-4 years old is an ordinary green Christmas tree. There are several schemes for creating such a decoration.

• Cone-shaped spruce. The first step is to prepare a cone from a sheet of thick cardboard. Its edges must be sealed with paper or a stapler. The green corrugated paper should be cut into thin strips. They need to be embossed by pulling the edges with your fingers in different directions. The resulting volumetric strips are attached to the cone in layers. The finished product can be additionally decorated with toys made from scrap materials or beads.

• Volumetric tree. To make such a voluminous tree, corrugated paper needs to be cut into strips. Each of them should be 2 centimeters smaller than the previous one. To create a layer, the strip must be folded like an accordion and tied in the middle with a thread. Its edges need to be made slightly sharpened. After that, the product must be straightened, forming an even circle. Having made several such blanks of different diameters, they need to be fastened with glue. The top of the tree should be decorated with a colored bow or star.

Such simple Christmas trees are a great decoration for any room.
