Another no less exciting technique of creativity is corrugating paper. This paper is in itself an interesting material. But facing is a kind of construction. Using small wooden sticks, small tubes are used to create tubes (trims). This is the so-called art of paper rolling. Such bright trimming tubes can be fixed with glue or plasticine. This technique has several types: volumetric trimming or contouring, planar or multilayer. Today you will learn how to make a snowflake from corrugated paper on a plasticine basis.
For work you need:
- any basis (you can just cardboard of a beautiful shape);
- plasticine (it is better to take in tone of paper);
- blue corrugated paper (if the base is a blue hue, then you can take white paper);
- the ruler and pencil are simple;
- scissors;
- a thin wooden stick (a toothpick or a skewer without a sharp edge).

materials


Using a ruler, draw a pencil outline of the snowflakes. It can be of any shape and size. Snowflakes look intricate design. In the photo this is the simplest intersection of 4 straight lines.

Now take the plasticine and cover it with all the lines drawn with a pencil. To do this, roll it in the form of sausages and stick to cardboard. Try to keep the plasticine layer high enough, because otherwise the paper trimming will simply fall off. It is better to choose plasticine for the color of corrugated paper, so that colored blank spaces are not visible.

sculpt from plasticine


Take corrugated paper and cut three strips 1-1.5 cm wide. Unwind them along the entire length.

Cut these stripes into squares. If they turn out to be 1.5x1.5 cm, then the work will look more voluminous, if 1x1 cm - then a little flat.

Now take one box. Put a wooden stick in the middle of it and wrap the edges around it with your fingers.

Without removing the workpiece from the stick, attach it to the plasticine and stick it into it. Pull out the stick, the paper tube remains in the plasticine base. So keep filling all the parts of the snowflake.

The tighter paper trimming will be located to each other, the more magnificent the work will turn out. Try to fill the plasticine base not only on top of the product, but also on the sides.

When you finish filling all the parts of the snowflake, then carefully inspect the work again. If you notice empty edges or sometimes peeking clay, it is important to correct such errors so that the work is more accurate.
