Tiger from bushings

- When all the details of the craft are ready, it remains only to glue them together and draw stripes on the tiger with a black marker.
The sleeve in the product can be located both horizontally and vertically. Examples of different options are shown in the photo. A paper tiger with a vertical sleeve can be used as a stand for pencils, pens or brushes. To do this, you just need to glue it to a stable base, for example, from a CD.
Advice! The sleeve can not be pasted over, but simply painted in the appropriate color with gouache.
Striped paper and cardboard cats
For children of preschool or primary school age, tigers made of colored cardboard and paper will be interesting, since they can make them with their own hands, with little or no help from adults. Each work is a handicraft, assembled from separate simple shapes (circle, heart, and others).

- pencil, scissors and glue;
- black marker and additional decorative elements, such as ready-made eyes.

- Using the template, circle and cut out of paper, all the necessary blanks. As a circle template, you can use the bottom of the glass, and draw a heart template by hand.
- Connect the parts with glue. To do this, it is better to use a dry glue stick, and when working with PVA glue, you do not need to lubricate the entire part, several spot applications will be enough.
- To complete the work, you still need to revive the animal by drawing or gluing eyes and stripes on the skin.

Symbol of 2023 from plates
Using paper or plastic disposable plates as a basis, you can make not only a tiger, but also its close relative, a lion. If you take one plate for the head, then the craft can serve as a carnival mask, and from two round blanks you can make an animal in full growth.
For this you will need:
- paper or plastic disposable plates;
- acrylic paints or gouache and brushes;
- scissors and glue.
How to:
- For a lion or tiger mask, cut the fringe along the edge of the plate with scissors. To make the animal completely, cut the second plate in half - this will be the body. Additionally, cut the tail.
- Paint and paint the muzzle on the whole plate and the front paws on the plate cut in half.
- After drying, glue the head, body and tail together.
Paper and plastic plates, more securely fix the polymer glue "Dragon" or hot glue from a gun.
Vytynanki
A paper tiger can be a beautiful decoration for a New Year's interior if it is an openwork vytynanka. The more realistic the silhouette, the more time it will take to create it.
Of course, there are no less beautiful, but simpler vytynankas. In any case, to work on them you will need:
- heavy paper;
- stationary knife and scissors;
- substrate (special or wooden board) so as not to spoil the table.
Besides this, you will need patterns of tiger protrusions and a certain amount of patience and perseverance to cut the stencil along the marked lines.
Origami craft
Paper tiger can be made even without using scissors. This is within the power of those who are familiar with the technique of origami. But even beginners, by folding a colored sheet according to the algorithm in the above photo diagram, will be able to get the head of the symbol of the coming year.
Usually two-sided colored paper is used for origami, but for this craft it is better to take a sheet of orange on one side and white on the other to get a white muzzle. Dark stripes can be drawn, eyes can be used ready-made, and mustaches, for example, can be made from fishing line.
gift box
In the New Year, it is customary for children to give sweets packed in beautiful boxes, on which, together with Santa Claus, they often depict the symbol of the coming year. You can make such a package for sweets or another small present with your own hands, using the provided scan, which must be printed, cut and folded.
And here are other, classic, schemes for New Year's boxes. In the form of Christmas trees, houses and sweets.
We work according to ready-made templates
Owners of the printer will be able to print ready-made patterns for their crafts, which then will only have to be cut and glued. It is better to print templates not on ordinary office sheets, but on a denser basis. So the finished product will keep its shape better.
Because it is not always possibleprint a color image, you can use a black and white template. It can be printed on a white sheet, and then painted with paints or pencils, or printed on a color (orange) basis.
The paper tiger will not only become a symbol of the New Year 2023, but also a guide for the child to the world of wildlife, introducing the baby to these brave and courageous predators.
