Trimming
In the photo of crafts made from napkins using the cutting method, it is not immediately clear how the work was done. Fluffy three-dimensional drawings fascinate with their beauty.
The trimming method involves gluing twisted balls or tubes with glue or plasticine to a surface. The output is an airy composition.
This method can be combined with other types of applique or patterns, as well as trimming three-dimensional objects.
Ballerinas made from napkins
You will need: flexible wire that holds its shape well, multi-layer napkins, starch paste, pliers, white thread, transparent fishing line, scissors, thin needle.
Master Class
- Make a ballerina skeleton out of wire. There is no need to make it detailed; it is enough to simply outline the main contours - head, torso, arms and legs.
- Divide multi-layer napkins into separate layers and tear several of them into strips 1-1.5 cm wide.
- Wrap the wire frame of the ballerina with strips of napkins, then saturate the top with starch paste.
- Leave the ballerina to dry.
- Make a ballerina's outfit this way: fold the napkin as if you were going to make a snowflake and trim at the desired level. Slightly round the cut line.
- Twist the workpiece clockwise several times and then in the opposite direction to crease the folds.
- Repeat steps 5 and 6, making a second blank.
- Make a petticoat if desired.
- Make small holes in the dress for the arms and head, then put on the figurine.
- Pull the thread tightly around the waist of the dress.
- Thread the fishing line with a thin needle through the top of the figure for hanging.
- Make the required number of ballerinas in the same way, choosing the most beautiful napkins.
