Origami art allows you to make a wide variety of things from paper, from fruits to vehicles made with amazing accuracy. Below we will talk about such a necessary thing as glasses. About how to make glasses out of paper, we will tell.
Paper glasses
How to make glasses out of paper? Very simple. It is only necessary to follow all the recommendations. And also you need a little care and patience. After all, everything starts to turn out with practice.
Let's look at how to make glasses out of paper. You will need an A4 sheet. If you want glasses to be colored, take paper of the right color. Nothing more is needed, except perhaps a little inspiration.
Making paper glasses together
So, let's get down to the craft itself.
- Connect the lower left corner to the upper right. Squeeze the fold line well.
- Bend the resulting figure again in half.
- Fold the sheet, and then fold it diagonally according to the existing line.
- Bend a little the top of the two formed triangles.
- Bend the shape so that only half of these triangles are visible.
- Bend the bottom again along and in half.
- And then again. This may already be difficult, since the paper is already bent several times.
- And finally, bend a thin strip on the right side to the beginning of the triangle. Repeat on the other side.
That, in fact, is all. So easily and very quickly you can make paper glasses. As you can see, thereβs nothing complicated about it, and even a child can do such a craft, if you show him.
What is required to make virtual reality glasses
However, if you want to learn how to make virtual reality glasses out of paper, you will have to make a little more effort.
The following materials and tools will come in handy:
- telephone;
- 2 lenses (for example, from flashlights);
- a pen;
- ruler;
- hot glue;
- thick cardboard, you can take a box.
Making 3D glasses step by step
Now that everything is ready, you can begin to manufacture virtual reality glasses.
- Cut out all the constituent parts from cardboard, following the pattern below. Make a drawing with a pen and ruler, and then cut out what happened. If you missed somewhere and made a mistake, it's okay - just glue everything with hot glue.
2. In places where there are bends, bend the cardboard. Fix with glue.
3. Insert the lenses into the front of the slot for the eyes. Cut holes should be slightly smaller than the diameter of the lenses. But even if they hold well, just in case, fix them with glue.
4. Download the cardboard app to your phone. It contains many different video games for 3D glasses.
5. Insert the lens carton into the structure. Turn on the application and select a game or video. Insert your phone directly in front of the lenses and enjoy a high-quality 3D image.
It really works, and if you try, you can give the glasses a nice appearance. Now you know how to make paper glasses with your own hands.
Try to make them with your children. They will surely enjoy watching cartoons in 3D, besides you will warm up their interest in various scientific crafts.
You can experiment with the shape and color of the glasses. And also make them more believable if you insert transparent lenses into the paper frame. If there are no lenses at hand, use shapes cut from a plastic bottle.
Paper glasses are great for games, because even if they break or get lost, you can always make another pair.
