Show dove template for paper cutting. Master class “Volume paper doves”

There are many paper crafts that can be used as room decoration, events or children's toys. Some of them are paper pigeons. These birds of the world look quite unusual and graceful. You don’t need to spend a lot of time to make such a craft. Just 15-20 minutes is enough.

How to make a paper dove: necessary materials

You can use several techniques at once. Most often, such doves are cut out according to a template. You can also try making birds using origami or another method. You may need the following equipment and supplies.

Paper - it is better to choose a special one for creativity. For example, if you decide to decorate a bird made from ordinary office paper with paint, the material may get too wet and ripple. This will ruin the appearance of the craft. Office paper can be replaced with white cardboard for creativity. It is better to choose matte rather than glossy, since the plumage of white doves is not very shiny. Watercolor paper will also work. It is usually sold in small folders of 10-12 sheets.

Many craftswomen use various craft materials as decoration. This could be, for example, corrugated paper. Remember that the density of the material must be sufficient, because... Some parts are bent to add volume.

Decorative materials - paper doves can be decorated with transparent glue with glitter. Various patterns are also applied to the wings of birds. This can be done using markers or paint. It is better to choose acrylic or gouache, as they form an even, durable layer on paper.

Additional devices - birds are also sometimes used to create garlands. Therefore, it is worth choosing ropes for them. An interesting option in the shabby chic style is the use of jute rope or twine. Also, pigeons are sometimes hung in the room. An interesting craft can be made if you attach the birds to a round metal base. You can use a regular embroidery hoop as it.

Paper dove template: features of work


Making a dove using the template is quite simple. Prepare thick paper. If you have a printer at home, you can immediately print the template. In this case, you should first stretch the image so that you get the required size.

You should cut out 3 parts - the body, wings and crest. This should be done along solid lines. Dotted lines indicate fold locations. There should be no cut holes in the center of the body template!

Let's move on to forming the volume of the bird's head. To do this, bend the back template along the dotted lines. The beak should point down. Next, cut the feathers on the tail. To make the bird more realistic, it is worth creating plumage. To do this, we make oblique cuts in all places except the head and beak. This also applies to other details. The crest should be especially lush.

We form the wings. To do this, we also bend the middle part along the dotted lines. You should get a small triangle that goes down. Don't forget to feather the edges using oblique cuts. Coat the triangle of the central part with glue. Then we glue it to the body in the middle.

The final stage is the crest. We also bend it a little (you should get a small “tongue”), and then glue it to the bird’s head.

Dove of peace: making a bird using origami technique

Take a square piece of paper and fold it diagonally. Then repeat this action for the other side. Leave it in the shape of a triangle. Turn the workpiece so that the split top is facing left. Then bend it to the right side. In this case, the fold should be located from the wide right side at a distance of 2-3 cm. Repeat the same action in the opposite direction.

Then we lift the resulting protruding part up again, capturing part of the future body of the bird (about 1 cm near the triangle, which is located behind the part). We practically have a bird. All that remains is to wrap the dove's beak. To do this, bend the part of the triangle closest to us on the left side of the craft downwards.

A dove of peace made from paper using the origami technique can be not only white, but also any other color. It is best to use thin paper. It will be easier to roll it up. You can decorate the craft by coloring the bird with felt-tip pens. You can also glue paper eyes and beak on it. This kind of craft looks very nice. If you hang it with thin ropes or fishing line in the form of a garland. Pigeons are placed at the base of the chandelier.

Interesting pigeons can be created using alternative techniques. One of them involves using wet paper. The resulting birds can be used as figurines for garlands or used to create various applications.

You will need:

  • Multi-colored paper napkins
  • Hive PVA
  • Drawing template
  • Plastic bag or film

Manufacturing instructions:

  1. Print out the template for making doves. It is better to choose drawings in which birds are depicted in profile. Place plastic film on top of the printed sheet of paper.
  2. Let's move on to rationing paper to create crafts. To do this, prepare several bowls. We take multi-colored napkins and tear them finely with our fingers. We sort paper of different colors into different bowls. Add a little water and glue to them. Stir the resulting mass in any convenient way. As a result, the paper should get thoroughly wet. The resulting mass is very plastic and molds well.
  3. We take wet shredded paper and lay it on film in accordance with the contours of the drawing. After you have filled the entire body of the pigeon, leave the mass to dry. This takes a maximum of 1 hour to 2 hours.
  4. The dried workpiece can be used in any way. For example, they can be hung on strings on a Christmas tree. Also, with the help of such pigeon blanks, interesting applications are made. For example, birds, flowers and children’s hands made using the wet paper technique are placed on a thick sheet of cardboard. The method is interesting because such birds can also be used to decorate scrapbooks and postcards.

Corrugated paper origami


You will need:

  • Thick cardboard
  • Scissors
  • Dove patterns
  • Corrugated paper

Manufacturing instructions:

  1. Using the template, cut out dove figures from cardboard. Cut the corrugated paper into medium-length square strips (about 3 cm).
  2. Roll the stripes into small “roses”. The easiest way is to place a pen in the center of any piece of paper.
  3. Then you need to fold the free edges of the paper up. The part is fixed with your fingers. Then it is coated with glue from the inside out. This needs to be done in the middle.
  4. Then the corrugated paper piece is glued to the cardboard dove template.
  5. Other parts are formed in this way. They are glued over the entire area. As a result, we get a figurine of a dove filled with paper.

The white dove is a symbol of life, peace, renewal, love and purity. By choosing accessories with doves for a wedding celebration, the couple emphasizes the tender nature of their relationship and harmony in the future family. There are many ways to decorate a holiday with beautiful birds: buy ceramic or wooden figurines, paintings with doves, decorate printing with appropriate images, but it will be even easier and cheaper to create symbolic doves with your own hands. Two master classes with photographs and a simple origami video tutorial will tell you in detail how to do this.

How to make a paper dove for a wedding with your own hands?

You can make beautiful doves yourself using different materials - sew felt toys in the shape of birds, make cardboard figures, but the easiest way, which does not require serious investment, is to make paper birds. Pigeons (depending on the technology of creation) can vary in size, be voluminous or flat. In the case of origami, needlewomen only need to use scissors and paper, but when creating birds using patterns, they will have to additionally use glue to hold some parts of the workpiece together.

As for the color of the paper, white is ideal: it reflects the true meaning of the dove of peace and emphasizes the solemnity and festivity of the event. However, if desired, the hero of the occasion can create doves of any other shade to match the palette used at the wedding. Slightly aged paper or even ordinary sheets of checkered or striped notebooks look interesting and cute - such doves will go perfectly with a shabby chic celebration or an eco-wedding. Scrapbooking sheets decorated with different types of patterns are well suited as a base.

Volumetric paper doves

Many girls try to decorate their wedding with voluminous doves, because they look more natural and interesting than flat paper birds. You can “plant” such pigeons on the table, make a magnificent garland with them, and use them as place cards for guests. For beautiful dove figurines, the bride can use paper of a snow-white shade, ivory, milky, cream, golden color - depending on the style of the holiday.

Advice

Sometimes doves are used to make a beautiful decorative element that resembles a “dream catcher.” To do this, the birds are attached to strings and hung from a hoop.

  1. We will need a square sheet of paper. Bend it diagonally to form an isosceles triangle.
  2. Fold the triangle in half again, then again, folding the top layer in one direction and the bottom in the other.
  3. We bend the top of the resulting triangle to its base on one side, then on the other.
  4. Expand the triangle. If you did everything correctly, you will see folds inside the shape.
  5. Fold the triangle in half, and fold its upper part inward along the folds. We do this on both sides.
  6. Fold the bird's wings upward.
  7. To form the beak from the side of the wings, bend the corner of the triangle down, and then turn it outward. The dove's beak is ready.
  8. On the side opposite the beak, bend the tail down. You should end up with a piece that resembles a kite on top.
  9. Around the tail we bend one half inward, then the other.
  10. The dove is ready.
