How to build a bucket for a snowman costume - cutting parts

You can, of course, take a ready-made plastic bucket and wrap it with a foil or papier-mache, but much more interesting to build a paper design. In addition, the paper bucket is much more comfortable in the sock, rather than its plastic analogue.

• The first step is to measure the scuffing of the head on which the bucket will be located.
• Next, build a pattern-drawing bucket. The finished image is a slightly curved trapeze (since. In the finished form, the bucket has the shape of a truncated cone).

1. Build an equilibrium ANBK trapezium, in which the smaller base (NB) is set up approximately 10-12 cm, and more (AK) are calculated as: VK (external circuit) / 3.14. The height of the trapezium is the height of the finished bucket. Set 18-20 cm. VK is determined as og (scalp) + 3-6 cm (on freedom of imprisonment of the finished design).
2. Extend the sides of the resulting figure before the intersection. The intersection point indicates T. P - it will be the center of your drawing.
3. By installing the circus in T. P, spend 2 arcs. The first radius will be a Pn (or Pb) segment, the second radius - PA (or PK) segment.
4. Take thread (or centimeter tape). The length of the thread is equal to the magnitude of the VC (calculated earlier). Put the thread on the external arc. The place where the thread ended, t. S.
5. Connect t. S with t. P. Point of intersection of the SP segment in the inner arc designate as L.

• When the drawing is ready, it's time to paint buckets. Cut the curved trapezium, the vertices of which are points a, n, s, p, and the bases are a fragment of a small and large arc.
• Now draw and cut the dyshko bucket. You need to draw a circle with a NB: 2 radius.

1. Cut the previously carved trapezoid base of the bucket. Blood the edge of the cut, making the sides of one side to another order of 1 cm.
2. Next, take the carved circle and slightly sweep its edge - by 0.5-0.7 cm. If paper is poorly deformed, you can make small cuts.
3. On the warmed edge from the outside, apply glue.
4. Install a donyshko bucket.

When the design is ready, you can proceed to the decor. You can decorate buckets with paints or wrap the corrugated paper, attach the rain or sequins in a circle, wrap a bucket with a ribbon or tie a bow - everything "in the hands" of your imagination.

An interesting option is obtained in the manufacture of a fabric bucket. It is also suitable for the pattern as when working with paper. But the skill will need a little bit more.

• Pick up a tight material capable of keeping the form. If there is no such, there can be a few layers of a thinner tissue, between which the adhesive fliesline will be located. This design will be both at the side wall of the bucket and its foundation.
• I expect a donyshko (or collect if it consists of several layers).
• Stile the edges of the trapezium, forming a central seam. Putting it.
• Without turning the resulting truncated cone, insert and sew bottom.
• Turn the bucket and decorate it.
