How to make a paper soldier with your own hands

Making paper toys is available to everyone in principle. Anything can be made from paper, for example, soldiers of all times and peoples - you just need to choose the right silhouette and figure out what uniforms the army is wearing. Designing paper soldiers can keep your sons busy for a long time, and many prominent military figures began their careers with just such an activity. See also others in this section.

To make a paper soldier, you will need thick paper or thin cardboard, felt-tip pens, pencils or paints, a piece of thick cardboard. The uniform can be made from thin colored paper, or you can draw it. Also stock up on PVA glue, scissors, a sharp knife, a compass and a ruler.

Find a suitable picture with a soldier. He must be depicted in full growth. It is highly desirable that the soldier stands straight. You can, of course, make a soldier in profile, and on a horse, and with a cannon, but still paper for this is not the most suitable material, since the soldiers will turn out to be flat. Cut out the figure of a soldier strictly along the contour lines.

Fold a piece of paper or thin cardboard in half, right side out. Lay the figurine of a soldier on the sheet so that the top line of the shako or cap is on the fold line. Circle the figure strictly along the contour.

You can print this blank of soldiers, and then just cut and glue them.

Blanks of paper soldiers

In order for the soldier to stand, he will need a stand. To make it, draw a straight line where the soldier has the soles of his boots. If the soldier is small, then it is enough to continue the line 2 cm from the toe of each boot. Divide the resulting line in half, put a compass needle in the middle of the line and connect the ends of the line with a semicircle, the radius of which is equal to half the line. On a piece of thick cardboard, draw a circle of the same radius and cut it out.

Cut out the soldier. The sheet of cardboard is folded in half in exactly the same way as when you traced the figure. The next step is up to you. You can first color the soldier, and then glue it, or you can do the opposite. Do not paint over or glue the half circles intended for the stand. On one half of the workpiece, draw the soldier's face, hair, shako visor, make buttons and aiguillettes. On the other, draw a rear view - the shako is completely painted over, the uniform and everything else too. You can make a mentic or tunic with an appliqué by tracing the pattern again, cutting out the clothes along the contour and sticking it on the workpiece.

Bend the stand so that one semicircle is in front and the other is behind. Coat the stand with glue and glue it to a circle of thick cardboard.

Fold an A4 sheet in half along its long side, cut along the fold line. Set one part aside, you won't need it. From the edge of the wide side, cut a piece equal to the length of the edge of the side and 1 cm wide.

On a larger rectangular piece of paper, we bend both corners on both narrow sides diagonally, first from one, and then from the second side.

We turn the sheet over and first bend one narrow side into the middle to the place where the lines of the previous stage intersect, and then the second side.

Let's turn the piece over. On one side, we bend the upper corner to the fold line, and then the lower one. Fold into a triangle. The procedure is repeated on the second side.

We turn the corner of the upper triangle on one of the sides in the other direction, and lift the corner up. We do the same with the second side.

We turn over the workpiece. We bend the narrow sides up, and put the ends into each other.

From the small rectangle that was cut off at the beginning, twist the tube to form a barrel. Insert it into the tank.
