Very often for games with the child, and simply for creativity it is required to make a human figure out of paper. Of course, you can just draw a character on a sheet and cut it with a pair of scissors. And how to make a person out of paper if you want to create a three-dimensional shape?

In such an invention, nothing is impossible. After all, skilled hands in an alliance with an irrepressible imagination and a rich imagination can create things that not everyone will dream of in a dream. Sometimes it is difficult to imagine how the handicraftsmen and needlewomen create their masterpieces, multifaceted, unusual and complex, and using simple and completely uncreative things and materials that are purely utilitarian.

Anything can go to the course: napkins, newspapers, wire and pieces of dermatine, even toilet paper, the remains of beads, feathers and everything that is available at the right moment at hand.

So, how to make a man out of paper? First you need to decide on the materials. You will need a piece of not too soft wire, PVA glue, pliers (for twisting wire) and ordinary paper napkins. If a person from the paper should become a color, then you need gouache, tassels and a glass of water.

The beauty of this craft (and this is a papier-mache or paper test) is that it is simple, although it is not very fast. But it can be sculpted both alone and together with the child, even in the kindergarten and at the lessons of the creative circle. After all, the materials are very simple and affordable, and the main source is their own imagination.

First of the existing wire with the help of pliers you need to make a skeleton, the skeleton of the future little man. Everything depends on the chosen composition. If he will stand, then everything is simple. If, according to the plan, the figure should, for example, sit on a bench, then the frame should be bent legs and hands so that later a natural posture would turn out.

How to make a person from paper, making a base? Of course, proceeding to the next stage, namely to making a paper dough. For this, paper napkins are taken, finely torn, folded into a basin or a small bowl and poured with boiling water. There is also added glue. The resulting mass must be mixed to make it homogeneous. Everything, the dough for the figurine is ready.

Now on the wire frame you need to carefully and gently stick the thin layers of dough to get the "flesh" of the character. You can start with the head and hands, gradually moving lower. Now the molded figure is left to dry, which usually takes a couple of days. When the base dries, a second layer of dough is applied, but now it is required to form all the detailed details of the trunk, head and legs with hands. Great, everything is left for another day.

Well, the third stage of winding the figure is the sculpting of the details of the face and clothes. It's time to form a hat, boots, a raincoat or a dress, if the conceived character is a lady. Immediately, you can insert feathers into the hat, and the girl to fasten the beads and any selected ornaments for the dress. The figure again goes to dry (a day or two).

Now, when it is already clear how to make a person out of paper, the final stage begins: coloring. The clothes, the face are painted out, small details are put in hands - a fan or the newspaper. Now the character is ready, you can use it in the game.
