Tank of paper with your own hands

Parents of boys know exactly - no matter how old a boy, in his heart he is still a great commander. And what kind of battles can there be without a full-fledged army? Today we will tell you how to equip the army of a small general with real tanks, making them with their own hands of paper. There are a lot of ways to make a tank of paper, starting from the application and ending with a model made of paper and cardboard of a real military tank, made on a reduced scale, but we will make a homemade tank in origami and cardboard technique.

We make a tank of paper - instruction

1. For the craft, we need a sheet of ordinary office paper medium density A4 size.
2. We tear off a strip about 4-5 cm wide from the short side of the sheet.
3. Bend the right upper corner of the strip to get a triangle.
4. We bend the top of the sheet.
5. We bend the top of the strip in the triangle in the other direction.
6. We get a strip of paper with clear fold lines at the top.
7. Using the planned fold lines, turn the top of the strip with a pyramid.
8. Press the pyramid to fix it well in the folded state.
9. In the same way, we turn off the pyramid in the lower part of the strip.
10. Now it is necessary to bend the outer details of the pyramid - the "ears" upwards.
11. We bend the pyramid bent upwards to the right.
12. Bend the left edge of the strip inside.
13. Then bend the folded edge of the paper strip halfway outward.
14. Repeat these operations on the other side of the strip.
15. As a result, we get here a strip of paper with arrow-pyramids on both sides.
16. We unfold the pyramid at the top of the strip and turn it inward in the other direction.
17. We turn the resulting part to the other side.
18. Bend the lower pyramid to the middle.
19. Now bend the upper pyramid until it touches the bottom.
20. Now we work with the lower ears.
21. We insert one pyramid in another.
22. We get here such a construction.
23. We fix it by bending the ears.
24. Straighten the "ears" of the upper pyramid.
25. We bend all the "ears" of the upper pyramid inward.
26. Now our tank has a tower!
27. We pass to the caterpillars.
28. Straighten the bent part of the strip to give the volume of caterpillars.
29. Carefully straighten the tank from all sides, including the tower.
30. What kind of tank without a barrel? For him, we need a small piece of paper, about 4 * 4 cm in size.
31. Fold the paper into a tight tube with a thickening at the end.
32. Gently lifting the tower of the tank, we get a place to fix the barrel.
33. In the end we get here such a wonderful tank!

We make a tank of cardboard - instruction

1. We will prepare the necessary tools and materials: PVA glue, epoxy adhesive, clerical knife and scissors.
2. Details will be cut out from a cardboard box of the appropriate size.
3. The base of the tank will be a rectangle cut from the box with a square hole cut in the middle of the tower.
4. For caterpillars we will cut rectangles with pointed ends from cardboard.
5. Also we cut out the side details of the base.
6. We glue the side walls to the base part.
7. The tower is also made of a rectangular piece of cardboard.
8. And we will make the barrel of a tank triangular.
9. We glue to the base of the caterpillar.
10. We get here such a wonderful tank . For greater realism, it can be pasted with colored paper or painted with acrylic paints.
