What can I do for a holiday?

The figures that correspond to the age of the birthday boy made from small balls are the most usual way for us to decorate the room. But if you make this decoration yourself from any other material, it will look very original and unusual.

Ways of making:

• A large figure can be cut from cardboard and decorated with what your resources and imagination are capable of. For a basis it is possible to take a usual box from a cardboard of the necessary size. On the cardboard are outlined the contours of the figure. The figure is cut with a clerical knife and decorated.

Important! Such a product will be flat, so it can be hung on the wall.

• You can make a three-dimensional shape - with it, the birthday girl can play and, if desired, rearrange it from place to place. To produce it, you need two identical pieces of cardboard, as well as long cardboard strips with even edges, for pasting side walls.
• You can also cut out a figure from a foam - it will be light and bulky. Slicers must be made with a very sharp knife, so that the edges are even.

Decor for the product should be selected in accordance with the general style of design. The most commonly used materials are:

• Colored yarn.
• Twine.
• Floristic film.
• Bright fabric( velvet, satin, chiffon, organza).
• Corrugated paper.
• Colored paper.
• Wipes.

Important! All these materials are used to wrap the base, but with their help you can give the figure an additional volume. To do this, you need to make flowers from corrugated paper for the number. They can be with protruding petals or in the form of fluffy pompoms, to which can be added different bows and "futurists."

Corrugated paper figure

The figures decorated with corrugated paper colors look great. They can be manufactured in two ways. To do this, you will need a large amount of corrugated paper of the desired color.

Important! Figures are obtained much more beautifully, if they glue flowers of two or three different colors.

Method # 1:

1. Cut the paper into strips. Approximate dimensions in centimeters: 50 * 3.5.Watch for the correct location of the "streaks" of your future flowers - they should stretch along the flower, not across.
2. Stretch the flower from one side to get waves. This stretching is possible due to the fact that on paper there are "streaks".
3. Hold the stretched flower billets in one direction with waves up, grab the base-cup.
4. Thread or elastic bands in tone, fasten the bottom of the flower.
5. The softer the material, the more magnificent and voluminous it is possible to make flowers from corrugated paper for the figure.
6. Paste the walls of the cardboard base with corrugated paper to hide the gaps between the flowers.
7. Basically, cover with the received flowers. For these purposes, it is very convenient to use a glue gun, but you can also decorate a conventional PVA.

Method number 2

Let's look at one more option, how to make florets of corrugated paper with your own hands for the figure:

1. Cut the corrugated paper into the same squares.
2. Apply glue to the cardboard base of the figure.
3. Wrap the pencil with corrugated paper, laying it with the center piece to the rod.
4. Lower the lower part of the future flower in the glue, attach to the cardboard base.
5. Gradually fill the entire surface of the cardboard base with squares.

Agree, any birthday person will be pleased to see on his holiday such an ornament, as a figure decorated with flowers. Experiment and create amazing beauty. Attract children to the fascinating process, because they will probably be interested in doing something new.
