How to make an eternal flame with your own hands - a phased master class

How to make eternal flame out of paper with your own hands on May 9? There are many ideas for crafts. Their main difference is only whether the volumetric work will be flat. If in the case of a flat craft, everything is more or less clear (you can make an application), then how to make a model of the eternal flame with your own hands, so that it is voluminous? In fact, everything turns out to be simple.

How to make a model of eternal flame with your own hands?

The model of the eternal flame must necessarily consist of a star and a flame. Large crafts also contain a pedestal, which can be decorated with appropriate symbols (for example, the years of World War II and the St. George ribbon) and flowers (for example, red carnations relevant to this occasion).

We bring to your attention a master class on how to make eternal flame out of paper with your own hands. We will write down the instructions step by step and post the photos.

Tools and materials

To make eternal flame from paper you will need:

1. star pattern;
2. cardboard (large sheets);
3. red napkins or tissue paper;
4. scissors or clerical knife;
5. red or bronze paint (it is better to take gouache);
6. brush;
7. glue;
8. ruler;
9. pencil;
10. Scotch;
11. wallpaper with a marbled pattern.

When you stock up on materials, you can start a master class on how to make eternal flame with your own hands, gradually making every detail of the craft, and then combining everything into one.

Stage 1 - star layout

A master class on how to make a star model for eternal flame with your own hands:

1. Take a large sheet of cardboard, scissors, glue or tape, a pencil, a ruler, paints and a brush.
2. Put a dot in the center of the cardboard.
3. Draw a dotted line across the point two perpendicular lines.
4. Draw a dotted line two more lines, which at the intersection form the letter "X". In length, they should be half less than the first two.
5. Connect all the vertices with dashed lines . You will get a star.
6. Place a center point on each side of the star at a distance of a few centimeters.
7. Connect the solid line with the vertices and the set points.

As a result, you should get such a figure as in the picture above. Cut it in solid lines.

Stage 2 - The Star

Master class on how to make a star for eternal flame with your own hands:

1. Take a star layout and cut it out.
2. Bend the star layout along the long axes inward.
3. Flatten the layout.
4. Bend the star model along the short axes outward.
5. Flatten the layout.
6. Give the layout the shape of a volumetric star thanks to the resulting fold lines.
7. Connect together protruding parts that should serve as a support for the star. This can be done either with glue, if the protrusions overlap each other, or with tape.
8. Turn the star over and paint it red or bronze.

Stage 3 - Fire

Instructions on how to make eternal flame out of paper with your own hands on May 9:

1. Take three napkins or tissue paper.
2. Draw a layout of fire on one leaf. Its shape may be different, for example, as in the picture.
3. Stack the paper.
4. Contour the layout of the fire.
5. Fold the resulting sheets together. Each next layer should be slightly lower than the previous one.
6. Cut off the leftovers below.
7. Curl the bottom of the paper and secure it with thread or tape.

The flame for the star is ready!

Stage 4 - pedestal

Despite the fact that instructions have already been given on how to make an eternal flame with your own hands, the master class will be incomplete if you do not mention how to make a pedestal. After all, it is also part of the layout. In our case, the pedestal consists of two parts: the first will stand, the other will lie. Just on the last and will be placed a star with a flame.

Instructions on how to make eternal flame with your own hands - the first part of the pedestal:

1. Take a piece of cardboard, a pencil, a ruler and scissors.
2. Lay the sheet upright in front of you.
3. Draw a line from the edge, small in width but long, over the entire height of the sheet. You will get the first strip.
4. Mark the distance from the line, which will be equal to the width of the finished star (or it will be slightly larger).
5. Having drawn this width, you get a second strip.
6. Make another strip, which in width will be the same as the first. Strip number 3 will come out.
7. Draw a fourth strip, which is equal in width to the second.
8. Make strip No. 5 equal to stripes No. 1 and 3.
9. Fold all 5 strips.
10. On the folds, make a box, only without top and bottom.
11. Glue strips 1 and 5 together.
12. Make small cuts from one side on the folds of the thin sides of the box.
13. Close the box.

The first part of the pedestal is ready. It can either be painted with paint or pasted with wallpaper with a marbled pattern.

The second part of the pedestal is done similarly to the first, only there are a number of features:

• The width of the second part should equal the width of the first.
• The height should be slightly larger than the first. This is done quite simply: increase the size of the side walls.
• The second box should be closed on both sides.

After you collect the second part of the pedestal, decorate it with paint or wallpaper.

Stage 5 - collecting all the details

When all the components - the flame, the star and the two parts of the pedestal - are completely dry, you can begin to assemble them.

Operating procedure:

1. Lay the second part of the pedestal on a table or other surface.
2. Place the first part on the second, close to the edge. You can fix it with tape.
3. Make a small hole in the center of the star. This is most conveniently done with a thick needle or awl.
4. Insert the flame into the resulting hole. This must be done carefully so as not to tear the details. For this, you can help yourself with a needle or a toothpick.
5. In the center of the lower part of the pedestal, place the star, having previously lubricated its support with glue.
6. Spread the flame.

The eternal flame is almost ready.

Completion of the Eternal Flame

The given master class on how to make eternal flame out of paper with your own hands in stages, involves decorating crafts using colors and inscriptions.

Instructions on how to make paper cloves:

1. Take red corrugated or tissue paper of red and green colors, wire.
2. Wrap the wire tightly around the green paper, securing it to the ends with glue. The stalk is ready.
3. Fold a few sheets of red paper into a stack (three to five pieces).
4. Fold the paper with an accordion.
5. Wrap the middle of the accordion with the stalk.
6. Trim the edges of the accordion, giving them a sharp shape.
7. Carefully spread out each layer of accordion.
8. Fluff the flower.

One clove is ready. Do a few more as shown.

Now you can decorate the pedestal with an inscription.

Operating procedure:

1. Take cardboard, a ruler, a pencil, scissors and red paint with a brush.
2. Draw on the cardboard two parallel lines, given that the distance between them is equal to the size of future letters and numbers.
3. Draw between the resulting lines the following capital letters and numbers, which should be the same in width: 1, 9, 4, 1, 1, 9, 4, 5, P, O, M, N, I, M, G, O, P , D, I, M, C, I.
4. Cut out all the numbers and letters.
5. Paint the details with red paint.
6. Let the parts dry well.
7. Print the image of the order with the St. George ribbon or find such an image on postcards.
8. Contour the image.
9. Glue the numbers and letters in the correct order on the pedestal (for example, as in the photo), and also place the picture of the order and the St. George ribbon.

Put the carnations next to the star. Paperwork "Eternal Flame" is ready! So that the craft does not deteriorate:

• Place it on a flat board.
• Dust from crafts is better to wipe not with a cloth, but with a special brush. Then the details will not be damaged.
• Choose a place where the eternal flame will stand, without direct sunlight. Otherwise, the paper will burn out and lose brightness.

We hope that everything is clear to you in a phased description of how to make eternal flame with your own hands. The master class is over!

Add your ideas when making crafts, for example, print pictures of soldiers, stick them on cardboard and cut them out, leaving a support. Put the resulting figures next to the eternal flame.
