On the shelves of modern stores there are a huge number of souvenir products, among which you can find things suitable for any occasion. For example, to decorate a house, courtyard, balcony. They can also act as a souvenir for a loved one. However, it’s much nicer to do something with your own hands.
Moreover, a person who received a “handmade” gift (tulips, roses or swans made from paper with his own hands) will appreciate it as it will understand that you have invested a part of yourself in this present. In addition, such a product looks no less original and beautiful than purchased in a store.
Homemade swans look very pretty. Parents who want to do common business with the baby often want to make figures of these birds from paper with their own hands, understanding
that such an activity can not only combine them, but also positively affect the development of motor skills in the hands of the child. Some people make paper crafts for their own pleasure, because such an activity is very calming and relaxing. Regardless of what is the cause of your desire to fold a swan or a
tulip out of paper with your own hands, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the manufacturing scheme of this craft.
To make a swan, you will need scissors and a sheet of paper the size of which
should depend on what size the finished craft is planned. The sheet must be folded diagonally in such a way as to make a square; the excess part of the paper must be cut off. This is a prerequisite if you want to make a beautiful paper swan with your own hands.
Next, the sheet must be opened and bent to the diagonal line two adjacent sides of the resulting square. Then you should turn the sheet to the other side and bend the inclined sides again to the previously outlined diagonal line.
We turn it over again and bend the figure so that the narrow side of the product (beak) meets the angle of the wider side (tail).
In order for future paper swans to be made with your own hands (if you plan to make more than one figure, but, say, a couple of swans), are stable and do not fall apart, all bends must be carefully ironed with your hand. Then we fold the bird in half and stretch the neck from the inside of the product, but do not lift it completely perpendicular to the figure, but leave it slightly at an angle to the back of the swan.
Naturally, it is impossible to imagine a swan without wings. They should also be removed from the inside of the product and straightened. The tail is made by bending the angle opposite from the neck up and then down. To make a bird’s head, it is necessary to bend a narrow triangle inward so that the head is larger than the neck. And the last step in making a swan is the beak.
It is done by bending the sharp end of the figure inside the head. Thus, you will receive a magnificent figure of a swan.
And do not think that paper swans are very difficult to manufacture . From paper with their own hands they can be made by anyone who has a desire to engage in such activities. And if there is a certain imagination from these figures, you can make a whole composition, which can decorate the house or give to friends.
Learning how to make swans out of paper, it will not be difficult for you to make other shapes, for example tulips, the main thing is desire!
