How to make an air snake from paper
Snake from paper is a simple handicraft, which even a child can be constructed under your leadership. You just prepare the necessary materials and control the process.
It will take: a sheet of thick paper, a strong thread, tape, scissors, a stationery knife, markers. Tape for tail - 3 cm wide, 4-5 meters long.
To note: the air serpent consists of a housing, bridles (binding), tail, thread (leather), coils for winding thread.
Start with housing
Make a square from paper, bend it diagonally. Turn both sides to the fold line. Bend from two sides of the corners from the resulting figure. Punch the holes for a bridle in places, slightly above the inner corners (mugs in the photo).
Make a bridle
The bridle is the place of attachment of the rope or thread to the body, with which you can change the slope of the snake relative to the wind.
Grind the thread into the holes made, secure it on the trick of the snake knot and sticky ribbon. Pull the bridle to the desired distance by making a loop in the middle of the fold - here you make your thread here.
Create tail
For the tail, take the seized ribbon and attach it to the tape to the bottom of the structure.
To note: the tail must be not shorter than 1 m and not longer than 5 m.
At the tip of the finished tail, glue a paper garmrouse paper or thin polyethylene strips.
Make a coil
Cut the rectangle from cardboard - 10x20 cm, roll it in half. Denote a pencil hole for hand and thread, cut off the knife in the backup. Enroll the coil with color scotch or color markers. Mix on the coil of 20 m of a silk thread, and for her end, tie two matches - they will need to be bonded with a bridle on the snake.
How to make an air snake from the package
A simple variant of both manufacturing and materials. All you need is a dense polyethylene package, scissors, 2 thin wooden sticks or rails, tape, ribbon, long rope.
- Prepare colors for the frame, one - 60 cm, the other is 20 cm. Fold them perpendicular to each other (in the form of a cross). Rate 15 cm long rail from the top and secure both struts with a rope or scotch.
- Put on the package frame from sticks and mark their tips with the marker. Connect all the points and cut out the resulting quadrilateral from the package. It will be a sail of the air snake. Fasten his corners with a rope at the ends of the sticks.
- A piece of the twin, take a short rail to each middle of the short rail, and in a long tie the rope and connect it with a cross wand. It turned out a bridle. Agte the rope that goes from the coil. Stick the ribbon tail, draw the sail, give the design to dry and drill ready.
How to run an air snake
