Creating a Handcrafted Masterpiece: A Step-by-Step Guide
Are you ready to embark on a creative journey that will leave you with a handcrafted marvel made entirely of colored paper? Prepare to bring your imagination to life as we delve into the intricacies of crafting a hand out of colored paper. Gather your supplies and let's dive into the wonderful world of paper artistry!
Supplies and Materials Needed:
Skin-toned paper
Juice lollipop
Threads to simulate nerves.
Pencil
Adhesive tape for assembly
Handmaking Stage:
Tracing and Cutting:
Begin by selecting a colored sheet of paper. Place your hand on the paper and trace around it using a pencil. Ensure that the outline captures the shape of your hand accurately. Once traced, carefully cut out the hand-shaped drawing using scissors.
Stage of Installation of the Nervous System:
Applying Adhesive Tape:
Lay strips of adhesive tape along the fingers and palm of the hand cutout. This will serve as the foundation for attaching the simulated nerves.
Cutting and Attaching Lollipop Pieces:
Take the juice straw and cut it into equal-length segments. Distribute the smaller segments onto the fingers and the larger segments onto the palm of the hand. Tie each small piece of straw to the upper phalanges of the fingers using thread. Repeat this process for each finger, ensuring a secure attachment.
Creating the Nerve Network:
Attach the remaining lollipop pieces to act as phalanges for the paper hand. Thread a piece of thread through each lollipop piece, starting from the upper phalanx that was previously tied. Repeat this step for each finger, creating a network of threads that will enable finger movement.
How It Works:
Activating Finger Movement:
By pulling the thread tied to a specific finger, you can initiate movement in that finger. The thread transmits the pulling force to the corresponding lollipop piece, causing the finger to bend.
