It is required to you
- Color paper, cardboard, scissors, office glue or PVA, embroidery floss, strong threads, pricker.
Instruction
1. The first way. It is the simplest small lamp. It is made of the sheet of color paper which is put in half, do cuts across bend, then develop it and stick together the ends. Such small lamps can be hanged out as independent jewelry or as "clothes" for candles.
2. The second way is more difficult. The strip of paper redof colors which is stuck together in cylinder, white (5х18 cm), put by 4 times undertakes. We cut out the animal figure corresponding, for example, to animal symbol of the future year from white "parcel". After deployment at us the chain of 4 animals will turn out. We paste them on red paper cylinder. Before we stick together cylinder, we do cuts on its horizontal edges, and we bend cloves inside. Then we paste over cloves with green circles from two parties (diameter – 6 cm). Through the received preparation we pass lace on which we strengthen three circles of green color, but different shades. Under the last of circles it is possible to attach bunch of red embroidery floss and small lamp it will be ready.
3. Way third allows to make the revealing small lamps of the same paper. The big leaf is put longwise in half and we form of it accordion. We part edges of accordion in the parties that we had figure like lodge roof. We press edges of folds fingers, we put accordion in dense pile, we watch that regions did not meet. We put accordion on cardboard and we cut out sidewalls at small lamp on its contours. We glue the turned-out patterns from cardboard to accordion, to their top corners we fix loops from strong threads. We puncture the lower ends of "pieces of cardboard" with pricker, connect and too do loops, otherwise the accordion will collapse when opening.
4. Everything that remained to us - it is to wait for drying of glue and having pulled for the top loop to open accordion which will take the form of convex disk. Brushes which attach to small lamp can be made of tissue paper. And our wonderful ornament is ready.
