How to make a peacock out of paper with your own hands

Paper, perhaps, is the most accessible material with which it is always interesting to work. From it you can make origami-crafts, postcards, flowers, garlands, birds, animals and much more. Consider how to make a peacock out of paper in many ways. Create this beautiful bird and settle it at home. At the same time, she will not have to feed and listen to her non-melodic singing.

How to quickly make a peacock

This hand-crafted article is very simple, it can be made even with a child of a kindergarten age:

1. We find the image of a peacock, make a stencil silhouette of a bird or draw it by hand and translate it to a colored cardboard. Legs, tail and wings do not need to be depicted. Cardboard is better to take two-sided or make two billet torsos and glue them together.
2. Carefully cut out the peacock with scissors.
3. We take two-sided color paper (office also fits) and fold the accordion. The more sheets, the more beautiful the hand-crafted, but you can take only one or two pieces. How to make a peacock of paper spectacular? Fold 12-18 different colored sheets.
4. We divide the accordion into four piles. We take the sheets from the first and glue them together. The same is done with paper from the rest of the heaps. Should be a big elegant fans.
5. Draw peacock eyes, nose, crest, feathers. You can make these parts from colored paper.
6. We glue the fan on one side of the trunk, then on the other. Now, in the same way, we make the second row of the tail.

Peacock is ready! To make it stand, you can glue a stand of wine cork to it.

How to make a peacock out of paper with your own hands: step by step we make an applique

From colored paper or cardboard we cut out the silhouette of a bird (it is possible together with legs). Glue or draw an eye. If desired, we simulate feathers. We lay aside the trunk billet sideways.

Now let's do the feathers for the tail:

• From color paper we cut strips (about 20-30 pieces). Their length and width will depend on the size of the trunk. For a basis it is possible to take parameters: two on seven centimeters. The more feathers, the more effective the tail will be.
• Fold the strip along, from both sides cut the corners and scissors along the entire length of the cuts. We unfold the paper, we must get a feather. So do with all the stripes.
• You can do a little feather a little differently. Fold the strip, scissors round one corner (not on the fold line). Above and along the entire length of the cuts. We unfold the strip. It turned out no less interesting feather.

Now let's proceed directly to how to make a peacock out of paper with our own hands, that is, start assembling:

• Take a cardboard or a piece of paper that will act as a background.
• From the top down we paste the tail on it, gradually increasing the number of feathers with each row.
• On the tail we lay out the trunk.

Peacock is ready!

Applied in quilling technique

Still we cut out a silhouette of a trunk from a paper or a cardboard, we paste it on a background. If desired, we add a spout, eyes and a tuft. They can be painted or made from colored sheets.

Cut the paper of different colors into narrow strips. Screw them into a spiral with a toothpick or a wooden stick. Give a little bloom, glue the edges. Put a drop, circle or crescent in the form of your hands. Stick the workpiece onto the peacock, forming feathers on the body and tail.

If the eyes, nose and crest at first did not add, then make them, too, in the quilling technique. If desired, decorate the background with paper curls or other material.

Now you know how to make a peacock out of paper in a quilling technique. Experiment with the colors and width of the paper strips, and each time you will get a new exotic bird.

Voluminous peacock

We crumple the newspaper and form a trunk and head from it. Billets in the course of manufacturing are fixed with paper tape. Then we glue them with napkins.

To the head we glue a beak from a cardboard or papier-mache. Cover the entire workpiece with paint: the beak - black or yellow, the body - blue or purple. Let's dry.

In the meantime, we'll make the plumage. We cut out circles or semi-ovals from colored paper, not necessarily exactly. They need so much to cover their torso and wings. We glue feathers from the neck to the bottom.

How to make a peacock from paper with volumetric wings? Very simple. From the paper we cut out two drops according to the size of the wings. We glue them with oval or round feathers. We try to give our hands a convex shape. Wings are glued to the body.

From the cardboard we make a workpiece for the tail. We cut colored paper into strips, they will be feathers. Fold them along and scissors round corners. Notch from three sides. We make a drop of paper, then a smaller oval and an even smaller circle. They must be of different colors. We paste in the same sequence on the feather. So do with all the stripes. The feathers are glued to the workpiece on both sides. We attach the tail to the body.

Now the peacock can be glued on a board or a stone, and from a green paper to make a grass. Only the stand needs to be made rather heavy, otherwise the craft will fall under its weight.

How to make a peacock out of paper with your own hands (origami)

As for all origami artifacts, we take a square sheet of paper. Fold it diagonally. Unfold the paper. Along the resulting line, bend the paper from both sides. The handicraft at this stage should resemble a kite.

Now fold the sheet on the diagonal line, which was done at the very beginning. On top measure about one third of the paper. This part is bent inward so that the sharp corner that was at the top, looked down.

Raise the edge up to get a neck and head. Now the tip is lowered down, bending it inward. It will be a beak. The bird is ready. Color it with bright colors, so that it becomes even more like a peacock.

Peacock from modules

How to make a peacock out of paper with your own hands? Step by step the photo below shows the entire assembly process. But first make triangular modules. In total 756 pieces are required.

Collect 26 modules in the ring. So do 3 rows. Turn over and lay out a circle of 12 pieces. So make 12 rows, reducing the modules by 1. The tail is collected in the same way as the trunk, but does not close in the ring. He needs 16 rows. It remains to collect the head and tuft.

Use in your crafts of different colors, and your birdie will look exactly like a peacock!
