How to make paper nails?

It's no secret that many children play with pleasure, imitating or imitating their beloved fabulous and animated heroes, animals. And it is clear that each child wants to be as much as possible of the chosen character, and so for the fun of your loved ones, moms often have to make a lot of efforts to create all the characteristic features of the image. For example, some characters have long nails. Agree that such a bright attribute can not be ignored, without it the hero will not look holistically. But meanwhile it is not easy to find such an "accessory" on sale, even in specialized stores long marigolds are a rarity. But there is a way out. We suggest that you learn how to make nails from paper. It turns out effectively and inexpensively, paper - the material is very affordable and certainly will be found in every home.

Nails made of paper in origami technique

Very comfortable false nails made of paper are obtained in the origami technique. This is the name of the ancient Japanese traditional art of folding figurines from this non-trivial material. To create each nail, you need one A4 sheet and your skillful hands.

Performance:

1. So, first bend the sheet diagonally, forming a triangle.
2. Then the resulting angle is bent to the rectangular corner of the figure, forming a new one more triangle.
3. Bring the preform to a square shape, bending the upper part of the figure to the center.
4. After that, we have to add our diagonal on the diagonal. By the way, we do it on the diagonal line that is already on the workpiece. As a result, we get a right-angled triangle.
5. The resulting triangle must be turned upside down.
6. After this action, add the left corner of the triangle to the center so that a perpendicular line is formed to the bottom of the workpiece.
7. Then fold this angle again, but not to the center, but to the left corner.
8. Cover the newly folded element with the second angle.
9. For the stability of the design of paper nails, insert the upper corner of the workpiece into the formed pocket.
10. That's all! Similarly, you need to create false nails for the other fingers.
11. Put each blank on the finger, rounding the pocket of the structure.

How to make paper nails?

There is another way to create paper nails without the use of origami technique. True, the nails really look terrible, but very realistic. And what else do you need to simulate your favorite character?

In addition to the paper you will need:

• glue;
• scissors;
• pencil.

So, let's start making nails of paper with our own hands:

1. Draw on a sheet of paper and cut out a triangle with scissors similar to the one in the photo.
2. Fold the workpiece into a tube and gently glue it together.
3. When the part dries, cut the nail into three parts with scissors.
4. Then these three parts need to be connected among themselves at different angles, inserting into each other and creating a long curved nail. Again, use glue, but very carefully. As a result, you should get such a frightening claw.
5. Similarly, the remaining marigolds are created. By the way, we recommend making nails of different length (for this triangles are cut out from paper of different sizes), which adds naturalism, if I may say so.

If you need colored nails, use a colored one instead of the usual landscape or office paper. Paper nails can be simply put on fingers. But it is much more effective to first put on your hands simple black gloves and only then on top of each finger to plant a long paper claw. Such marigolds perfectly fit into the image of Baba Yaga , witch, vampire and other "evil spirits." Does it look ominous?
