The best home decoration is a DIY decoration. After all, you put your soul and strength into it, and the result is always so different. Therefore, it is worth learning how to make a diamond out of paper. Finding the use of such a cute little thing is quite simple.
Bulk diamond
The main thing on the question of how to make a diamond from paper voluminous is the template. You need to print it on paper. Better immediately on the one from which you want to make a craft. Cut a pattern and draw a needle along all the lines (this is necessary to make it easier to bend). Do it on a ruler. Now, based on the photo of the finished result, bend the cut shape. The protruding triangles are the part with which the diamond sticks together. As you can see, everything is quite simple.
This was not the only way to create bulk diamond. There is one more, its template is even a little simpler. Do the same as in the first method and glue the parts in the form of a trapezoid to the base of the diamond (hexagon).
Another option for using bulk diamonds is a garland. To create it, make holes on both sides of each part and draw a thread through them. Make knots at the place of entry and exit of the thread into the diamond. This will prevent the diamonds from rolling into one pile.
Octahedron
How to make a diamond out of paper easier? Print a scan of the octahedron. Pass the needle along the fold lines and glue in the right places. From far away, the figure completely resembles the one you need.
This is suitable if you need to create something like an unusual diamond curtain. To translate the templates suggested above, to draw a needle along each line and to collect a diamond is much more difficult than an octahedron. And with a large number of octahedrons, just the right impression is created!
Box
How to make a “Diamond” box out of paper? Print the proposed template. Pink and orange mark the sides of the diamond itself, and white marks the places with which the craft is glued. The hexagon is the cap of the box.
To create a large box in the form of a diamond you need:
- Whatman sheets.
- Gold duct tape.
- Transparent adhesive tape.
- Scissors.
- Ruler
- Pencil.
Working process:
- Draw six triangles and trapezoid shapes that fit your size or use a pattern.
- Tape the smaller base of the trapezoid with a gold ribbon. Trim the excess.
- Fold 5 triangular pieces, connecting with a transparent tape on the inside. Start raising the craft to form a diamond. To fix the shape, add the last triangle.
- Glue a trapezoid to the base of each triangle.
- Align the trapezoid on the inside with transparent adhesive tape.
- Glue all external joints with a gold ribbon.
Done!
Origami
How to make origami paper diamond:
- Take a square piece of paper. Bend it on two diagonals and two times just in half. Flatten. The resulting fold lines.
- Connect the lines formed by bending diagonally. It should turn out a rhombus.
- Lay the sheet with the open part up and fold the extreme corners to the center from all sides.
- Cut the protruding part.
- Turn the corner and open it, laying on a sheet. Do this with every angle.
- Fold two corners on each side to the center.
- Expand the figure.
- Make another such detail.
- Glue the matching sides together.
A rather complicated assembly scheme. The first time it may not work, but do not despair and try further!
Now you know how to make a diamond out of paper. You are unlikely to find a use for one copy, but if you make a lot of multi-colored diamonds, then there is great scope for imagination. For example, take a transparent vase and fill it with these jewels, or put them in a flower pot. It looks very cute and stylish. Do not discard the template, for sure it will still be useful to you. After all, such a decoration will dilute any boring interior!
