OPENWORK FIGURE EIGHT MADE OF PAPER

Send

On the eve of the beautiful holiday on March 8, representatives of the stronger sex are preparing unusual, pleasant presents for their beloved women: mothers, sisters, friends. And what can be better and more expensive than a handmade gift. From plain paper you can make an original openwork figure eight - a symbol of the upcoming women's holiday.
For work you will need:
• sheets of thick paper,
• stationery or breadboard knife,
• scissors,
• stapler,
• carbon paper or tracing paper (you can use a printer),
• pencil.
First you need to print or redraw the blank for the future figure eight.
Using carbon paper or tracing paper, you need to transfer the pattern to sweaty double-sided colored paper. But if you have a printer at your disposal, it will be much easier to immediately use it and copy the eight.
The stapler needs to fasten two sheets, and then carefully cut out all the internal patterns. This is the most painstaking and difficult part of the job. It will take all your patience and perseverance. You can cut out patterns using a clerical or breadboard knife.
But if you do not yet have the skills to work with these tools, then it is better to use manicure scissors, thanks to which it will be possible to quickly and easily perform this laborious work. But it should be remembered, in order to avoid damage to the work surface, it is better to put something under the paper, for example, a wooden cutting board. It remains to cut the outer contours
Now fasten the two parts together using the lower and upper locks. This will give the figure eight stability and volume.
The craft is ready. This voluminous postcard can be presented to a loved one or used as a holiday decoration for your interior.
