Openwork eight made of paper
On the eve of the wonderful holiday of the Eighth of March, representatives of the stronger sex prepare unusual, pleasant gifts for their beloved women: mothers, sisters, girlfriends. And what could be better and more expensive than present, created with your own hands. From plain paper you can make an original openwork figure eight - a symbol of the approaching women's holiday.
To work you will need:
• sheets of thick paper,
• stationery or breadboard knife,
• scissors,
• stapler,
• carbon paper or tracing paper (you can also use a printer),
• pencil.
First you need to print or redraw the blank for the future eight.
Using carbon paper or tracing paper, you need to transfer the template drawing onto double-sided colored paper. But if you have a printer at your disposal, then it will be much easier to immediately use it and copy the figure eight.
You need to fasten the two sheets with a stapler, and then carefully cut out all the internal patterns. This is the most painstaking and difficult part of the work. This will require all your patience and perseverance. You can cut out patterns using a stationery or breadboard knife.
But if you do not yet have the skills to work with these tools, then it is better to use nail scissors, thanks to which you can quickly and easily complete this labor-intensive work. But remember, to avoid damaging the work surface, it is better to place something under the paper, for example, a wooden cutting board. All that remains is to cut out the outer contours
Now fasten the two parts together using the bottom and top clasps. This will give the figure eight stability and volume.
The craft is ready. This voluminous card can be given to a loved one or used as a holiday decoration for your interior.
