Crafts in the technique of paper plastic
Paper plastic is one of the modern forms of art. It is a synthesis of various areas, such as modeling, applique, drawing, collage, paper design. She is a voluminous art form. The source material, which is flat in nature, is given a more complex, three-dimensional shape. With application, paper plastic is related by the fact that parts of the picture are cut out of paper, and then they are given a three-dimensional shape. Final assembly of the product is done using double-sided tape. With molding, this type of art is related by the need to manually change the shape of the parts of the product, and with the drawing - the ability to finish and color some elements of the product. At the initial stage, ready-made patterns are used to cut out the component parts, and as experience is gained, it will be possible to create your own, interesting and unique. Usual stationery scissors are used for this, but it is easier to use a special paper knife. And in order to give the components the necessary three-dimensional shape, use special tools. Often, to obtain a more complex product, a combination of techniques such as paper plastics and paper torsion is used. Novice masters can make, for example, a holiday card from multi-colored elements with the image of flowers, birds, butterflies and so on.
How to make a simple postcard
First of all, you need to choose a base card. You can purchase a blank or cut it from a sheet of cardboard of the desired color. Then, details of the future pattern are cut out of double-sided colored paper.
For example, for a New Year’s card in the style of “paper plastic”, you can cut out three parts of the Christmas tree in the shape of a triangle or cone. In the wide part, which will be directed downward, it is necessary to make parallel cuts to get a lace fringe. It can be bent to give volume to the product. Then parts of the composition need to be fixed on the base using double-sided tape.
