How to make a number from napkins?
Perhaps one of the easiest options are numbers from napkins.
For work, we need such materials:
- cardboard or box;
- several packs of napkins;
- scissors;
- holographic sheet of cardboard;
- stapler;
- Scotch;
- glue moment.
Cut one napkin into four pieces of the same size.
We connect two quarters with the help of a stapler. We repeat the same with the rest.
We cut the corners on each workpiece, forming a circle.
Gently lift the first layer of the napkin and squeeze it with your fingers. Do the same with each layer.
We straighten the petals a little and the result is a flower, as shown in the photo.
We make the necessary number of blanks on the same principle.
From white napkins we make the same blanks. In this case, they are a little larger, so we crop them so that they become the same as red.
The result is quite a lot of colors. But absolutely all of them will be needed further.
On a sheet of thick cardboard or box draw a number. It is very important that it be proportional and have the correct shape.
Cut the number in duplicate. From the remaining cardboard we cut strips of the same width. They will be needed to form the side parts.
Glue the strips to one digit with adhesive tape.
Only after that we fix the second digit on the cardboard blank.
We glue the flowers on a cardboard frame with glue.
This should be done carefully so as not to crumple the flowers.
You can also make additional decor figures in the form of a crown. To do this, print a stencil on a piece of paper or draw it. Cut the workpiece and circle it on holographic cardboard.
We cut out the crown in duplicate and glue the parts together.
Glue the crown to the flowers with glue. Beautiful, stylish decor in the form of numbers is ready!
In fact, napkins are almost always used to create numbers. This is not surprising, because it is they that make them more magnificent.
