Typically, the manufacture of paper grenades are interested in airsoft players. They do it themselves, not to spend money on ready-made analogs. In principle, a paper grenade with your own hands is not such a difficult task. Let's try to master one of the options.
Pomegranate from paper - master class
Grenade body
How to make such a grenade from paper? Quite simply. Its body is made of cardboard. It has the shape of a cylinder whose height is equal to the height of the firecracker. To perform this pomegranate from paper, we need to print out a card on the cardboard.
Cut out this shape, considering that the length of the solid part should be enough to fold it into the cylinder with a margin for a small allowance from one edge (up to 1 cm), because we will glue lapped.
The length of the triangles (protrusions) should be greater than the radius of the base of the cylinder by about 1 cm. To minimize this preform in the cylinder, it is desirable to use a mandrel.
All straight edges need to be glued overlapping, and then begin to bend the triangular projections along the dash-dot line shown in the diagram. Klete them one to another. To strengthen the bottom, you can paste a circle of paper on it. Do not touch the second bottom of the cylinder yet.
Fuse and bursting charge
We need:
- petard;
- matches;
- one-sided scotch.
Take a few matches and stick them with adhesive tape to the firecracker so that all the heads touch each other, leaving only one match in contact with the incendiary part of the firecracker.
Check and Trigger
We will need:
- plastic bottle;
- paper;
- scissors, stapler;
- thread;
- double sided tape.
First, cut a strip of 5 mm wide from the bottle, bend one side of it, forming a loop. Fix it with a stapler - it is for this loop that you pull the pin.
Then from the matchcover, cut the strip along the width of the plastic strip, glue it onto the double-sided adhesive tape to this strip on the other side of the loop. Attach the strip of thread to the petard by the side where the teal is located, and it should be pressed only to the first match. Chirkalo will pull out, lighting a match.
Assembling grenades
To finally assemble a grenade, you will need:
- glue;
- peas;
- sharp knife.
So, we proceed to the final stage. To do this, in the finished bottom of the body, around the center, cut out a rectangle with a knife - into it we need to enter a plastic strip. We introduce it by ring forward. Further - we put on the butt of the firecrackers on the side of the check a little glue, pass the check in the bottom hole and glue the butt of the firecracker.
We put our body open bottom up, fall asleep inside peas and glue the second end. We close the second bottom in the same way as we did with the first one. The finished pomegranate is pasted over with paper. So our homemade grenade is ready, you can go to the "war".
Origami - paper pomegranate
There are other ways to make a grenade from paper, they are suitable for more peaceful purposes - to develop their abilities for the art of origami. These grenades do not explode, they perform an exclusively decorative function. With them, your child can play with other boys, presenting themselves in battle. To make it, use the following diagram.
Another way of making grenades is from a foam egg.
To make this grenade you need to have:
- a foam egg;
- paint is dark green color;
- marker;
- brush;
- ring (check) from the old key fob;
- glue;
- cardboard;
- cutting knife.
We cut off the upper part of the egg, paint it in a cage like a real grenade, according to this drawing we make slits on the egg. Gently paint it. Then we cut out the fuse from the cardboard, fix it on the grenade, attaching it all with a check. The grenade is ready and looks pretty realistic. You can supplement your paper "arsenal" with a paper machine .
