A sheet of green paper 10 x 17 cm;
beige paper;
yellow paper;
red paper or star sticker;
black cardboard;
artificial eyes (optional);
markers;
glue;
scissors;
ruler.

How to do

Fold a sheet of green paper in half with the long sides facing each other, align and iron with the palm of your hand. Expand. This will help you find the middle of the part. Fold one of the long edges to the resulting fold.

Fold the second edge of the sheet towards the center fold.

On one side of the sheet, bend two corners towards the middle so that you get a triangle at the end. Mentally divide the remaining space in half and place your finger in the middle.

From the point where the finger lay, bend the edges symmetrically outward, as shown in the picture.

Bend the product so that the lower straight edge does not reach the upper triangle by about a finger.

Lubricate the inner surface of the upper corners with glue and attach them to the base so that they do not stick out.

Apply glue to the bottom of the craft, between the corners bent outward, and glue the folded figure together.

Cut an oval out of beige paper so large that it fits between the folded bottom edge and the top triangle. Attach to the soldier.

Gift for dad on February 23rd made of colored paper

DIY plane for February 23

A themed homemade souvenir or toy for Defender of the Fatherland Day is the best gift for the most courageous, courageous and courageous family members.

The various models of military equipment made by the children - tanks, combat vehicles, airplanes - look especially impressive.

But the craft does not have to be serious and complicated. For example, any child can make a beautiful and cheerful paper airplane for February 23rd if they use a simple template. This craft would be perfect for kindergarten on February 23rd, as an option for a gift for boys from girls.

DIY plane for February 23

All you need for the job is cardboard with a corrugated layer (it can be replaced with foam cardboard), glue, scissors, a stationery knife, pencil, paper, paints and a brush. If foam board is used, paint will not be needed.

We make a template on paper: fold it in half, draw half of the main part of the plane - its body. Cut it out, unfold it, and transfer it to cardboard.

In the same way we prepare two cardboard front wings, two rear wings, a tail and a pair of wheels.

Cutting out cardboard blanks

Then we bend the cardboard body slightly, mark and cut out a rectangular hole in its upper part, which will become the pilot’s cabin.

Cut out and slightly crumple a cardboard toilet paper roll

We unfold it and use a utility knife to make two notches for the front wings, two for the hind wings and one for the tail. I'd like to do this using a ruler, noting in advance what length and width we need the cutouts to be.

Cut out from cardboard according to the sample

Bend the body again and insert the wings and tail into the required holes. If we didn’t calculate it a little, we trim it. The parts should be held tightly and not jump out of the slots.

Glue the wheels. It is better to use polymer glue; it fixes more reliably than PVA or regular office glue.

We connect the center of each wheel with a thick thread or wire so that the plane holds tightly.

We insert the wings and tail into the holes, glue the wheels

We color the plane as you like. Don't forget about the inside, which is also clearly visible. You can paint the parts before assembling the model, but then you will need to work carefully so as not to smear the paint.
