A kitten made of paper

You can make a cute 3D kitten from colored paper. For this we will need:

Colored paper
white paper
Black marker
Paper glue
Brown felt-tip pen
Scissors

From white paper, cut two circles up to 1 centimeter in diameter. From the light pink paper cut the same circle, but only in the amount of 1 piece. Now take the orange paper and cut out two circles with a diameter approximately equal to the diameter of the glass or glass. From the same paper cut out two ears. The pink paper also need to cut out shapes that resemble the ears, but smaller in size than the ears of orange paper.

Proceed to the design of the body. To do this, you need to take one large orange circle and draw a tail on the edge of the circle. Cut out the tail to the middle of the circle, so that the tail is attached to the circle, but at the same time it is like a separate part. Outline the tail with a brown felt-tip pen and draw stripes on it.

Next, this circle should be cut to the center with scissors. Now you can fold the finished piece of cone and glue the edges of the incised circle. Thus, we got a cone-shaped body with a tail.

Now begin to assemble the head. To do this you need to take the second large orange circle and glue two white circles at the same level. These will be the eyes. The distance between the eyes should be about 5 millimeters. Then glue the bottom of the pink circle - a nose. Under the head you need to glue red ears, and on them the pink parts. This is the inside of the ear. The head is almost ready.

Next, draw the pupils of the eyes with a black marker. Inside the pupil leave white highlights. Under the nose, draw the cat's whiskers and cheeks.

Glue the finished head to the cone-shaped body and put the cat on the table. The handicraft is ready!

Scissors
Old DVDs
Highlighters or felt-tip pens
All-purpose glue
Ruler

Take 6 old discs and clean them from various dirt. Set them aside. Cut 6 circles out of cardboard slightly smaller than the discs, so that the shiny side of the discs serves as a border for the schedule circles. You can take different colors of cardboard, a different color for each day of the week.

Draw strips on each circle, as in the diary for the class schedule. Then use markers on top of each circle to write the name of the day of the week. The style of writing is up to you. Then write the current schedule on the marked out lines.

Glue each circle to the discs and glue these discs together with hot glue in the proper order.

Attach a rope or string to the edges of the product on both sides and hang it on the wall. That's how simple and interesting the schedule stand turned out. How it looks, you can see in the photo.
