How to make a cup out of paper with your own hands? This is not difficult. There are several original ways to assemble a voluminous craft. A reliable and durable cup will be made using the papier-mâché technique; the craft made up of individual elements will look great.
The cup consists of 4 parts. This is a stand, a thin leg, the actual capacity of the cup and curved handles on both sides. Not a flat drawn prize looks beautiful, but a volume one, which is solemnly awarded to the winner in his hands.
Material for work
To convey the necessary form of crafts, use two paper disposable cups of different sizes. You can buy a stack for the bottom stand, and a large 200-gram glass for the cup itself.
Between them is a thin backup from the toilet paper sleeve. It can be installed on a tight circle or square. Carved curved pens are drawn first on cardboard, and then cut out along the contours with scissors. Connect the construction details with PVA glue or transparent tape.
Cup decoration
The finished craft can be painted from a spray can or gouache with a brush. You can decorate the cup with stickers in the form of stars or hearts, place flowers or geometric shapes. Design depends on the purpose of the prize.
If he is presented for sporting achievements, then you can draw balls, shuttlecocks or rackets, skis or other equipment. If the artist is awarded, then they paint a brush and paints, a palette or put colorful blots.
Papier-mâché variant
A cup glued from cardboard can be wrapped with cling film and pasted with paper pieces in several layers. The first layer is not smeared with paste, and the paper is simply dipped in water and applied to polyethylene. The remaining 5 or 6 layers are glued alternately. It is more convenient to use different types of paper, for example, a newspaper and a white sheet. Then it will be clearly visible whether the surface of the crafts is completely pasted over or voids remain.
Papier-mâché dries out within a few days, so do the work in advance. When all the layers have dried, cut one side of the goblet and take out the base on which it was going. The incision is sealed with a layer of paper, and the surface is decorated as desired.
Now you know how to make a cup of paper in a simple way and you can do it yourself. Good luck
