Paper is a unique material. It can be useful not only for writing, but also for very beautiful crafts. If you have the time and the diligent person, then you can master the technique of modular origami. This activity is fascinating! Your attention in this article will be presented crafts from the modules. Master classes are attached.
Variety of modules
There are the following types:
1. Volumetric . Divided into:
- The module is in bites . This is a spherical figure made of a square sheet.
- Triangular modules . To create them, you need a rectangular sheet. It turns out beautiful three-dimensional figures.
- Shamrock module . From this kind of applications or volumetric products are created. To fold the module, you need a square sheet.
2. Flat . Used to make mosaics. The modules are glued to a base, such as cardboard, close to each other.
Crafts from paper modules: making a flower
Required:
- ruler;
- glue;
- colored paper (painted on both sides);
- scissors.
Assembly process
Cut the colored paper into equal squares. The approximate size is 10 x 10. Very small modules should not be done. They will not work, as it will not be very convenient to fold them. Harvest 7 squares. Fold them in half diagonally. The angles obtained on the fold line, connect with the third. You should get two triangles. Raise them and open. Then we flatten to make rhombuses. Turn the product over. On the sides you should see protruding triangles. Bend them to the center. Turn over again and hide inside the product. You should get figures with isosceles triangles on both sides. Next, fold the outside with the inside. Glue them and connect them without bending the figure. You got a petal for the future flower. Do this six more. Next, fold these petals, gently grease the sides with glue and connect. All modules must converge at one point. You can use a wooden skewer as a base. Wrap it in green paper. The stalk turned out. Having made several of these flowers, you can make a whole bouquet. We have finished assembling crafts from the modules. You can still collect fruits, vegetables, animals, plants and much more interesting and funny.
Next will be presented a technique for compiling a figure from triangular modules.
Christmas tree making
Required:
- green modules (six hundred pieces);
- eraser;
- wooden skewer;
- your skillful hands.
Assembling crafts from modules
We collect twigs. We take two modules, insert the long side into the pockets of the third. Continue to collect and alternate two, then one. Too strong and deep do not need to wear them. Make twelve rows. We make five lateral processes according to the same pattern. Retreat in the main branch three modules and put on two side. Connect the five branches. Lock them in a ring. Make the following branches smaller. It is necessary to make an intermediate ring. It will split the branches. To do this, take seven modules for the inner row and seven for the outer. Connect. Lock in the ring. Then assemble the top of the eight modules. When all the components of the Christmas tree are ready, we take a wooden skewer and stick it into the eraser. Create a craft from a large circle, then an intermediate ring and so on. At the very end, the crown is worn.
As you can see, a child will be able to learn how to collect crafts from modules. It is very simple. The main thing is patience and perseverance. DIY assembly of modules from modules is an interesting activity for children and adults. Go for it!
