3D origami is a fun activity. From individual modules, which, by the way, are very easy to make, various products are assembled: from toys to interior items. If you are new to this business, then start from the very simple models. Try to assemble one product several times to understand the essence, train your hands, and consolidate your skills. For the first works, the pages of old magazines are quite suitable. Also prepare a ruler, pencil, scissors, cardboard, glue. You will need patience and accuracy and you will be pleased with the result.

Today I propose to make a glass for pencils using the 3D origami technique. You will learn how to make modules for three-dimensional origami, connect them into a circle, use different sides of the module, and design the modules into a product.

All 3D origami products consist of individual modules. To begin with, I suggest using large modules. Cut the sheets of paper into 10 x 6 cm rectangles. Fold the module in the order as shown in the photo. You will need 176 such modules.

We begin the work by assembling the modules in the first circle: we connect two modules with the third.



So we add 16 modules and connect them with the same 16 modules until we get a circle.


To make a circle, connect the first and last modules. Having made the first circle, we got two rows. It is difficult to assemble the first circle without experience. Therefore, many craftsmen use glue, spreading the ends of the first row.

We continue to string modules. In each subsequent row we put the module on the adjacent ends. My product assembly process is represented by modules of different colors for greater clarity.

Collect six rows in this order.

Turn the work over to the reverse side.

Squeeze the top with your hands.

We get a product that resembles a glass.

We continue to assemble modules in the same way. Make sure they are “looking” in the same direction. Make 10 rows.

For the eleventh and last row, put the modules on the other side.

As a result, you will get a neat tapered edge of the product. In this model we get a through hole. To close it, glue a cardboard circle to the bottom.

To maintain order on your home desktop, you need to purchase, or even better, make your own stands for pencils, pens, scissors and others stationery. A pencil stand will allow you to always keep writing objects at hand, rather than looking for them in the corners of bottomless desk drawers. In addition, you can involve children in making a pencil holder, who will bring something new and interesting to its design.


1. Pencil stand made from cut wood.

To implement the idea, you need to prepare a low frame of wood, then remove the inner part with a chisel and install pencils inside.

2. Pencil holder made from sewer pipes.

Using a jigsaw or hand saw, we cut sewer pipes of different diameters into small pieces. We glue each of the segments in a row onto a short, thin board (the board, as well as all the pipe segments, can first be spray-painted in shades that match each other).

3. Pencil in a vest.

Cut out a triangular piece of “shirt” from white felt and glue it to a tin of coffee or canned fruit. Then take a layer of gray felt, cut out a rectangle from it along the circumference of the can, in front, cut out a triangle to the size of the pasted white “shirt”, folding the edges and stitching with threads to the collar area. Glue the “vest” onto a tin can, use a blue marker to draw a tie on a white shirt, or cut it out of blue felt.

4. How to make a vintage style pencil holder.

Cover the tin can with pink fabric, then top, bottom and center with a beautiful lace ribbon. On the end part, glue pre-purchased accessories in the form of a flower with pearls (sold in sewing shops).

5. How to decorate a pencil holder with buttons.

Method number 1. We take an ordinary small glass jar from baby puree, then string red and white buttons onto a thin elastic band, tie the ends of the elastic into a knot, and put the resulting composition on the neck of the jar.

Method number 2. Glue buttons of different sizes onto a tin can (the color can also be any), then paint the product from the can in gold or paint it in a brick tone and shade it with gold.

6. DIY pencil stand decorated with twine.

We take a tin can, cover it with a layer of transparent glue, and wrap it with twine, tightly joining the threads to each other. Finally, you can stick a bow on the front of the product.

7. Pencil made from tree bark.

Carefully remove the bark from a dry tree and glue it to a glass or metal jar.

8. How to make pencil holders from toilet paper tubes.

We put vertical marks on each tube and cut the fringe along them. We apply PVA glue to each petal of the fringe, and glue all the tubes to a layer of cardboard. Then with a marker we draw faces on the front of the stand.

9. Pencils with decorative primer.

We glue a plain sheet of paper onto a tin can, which we then cover with decorative stones.

10. Marine style pencil.

We take several paper towel tubes and place them on a base cut out of cardboard. We cover each tube with white napkins, forming large folds (you need to glue the napkins with PVA glue). Then we glue the tubes to a cardboard stand and paint them with water-based blue, yellow and orange paint (you can mix white water-based paint with different colors of gouache, in this case you need to mix white with orange, white with blue and white with yellow). Finally, we glue plastic fish, starfish, shells and artificial algae to the stand; all this can be bought at a pet store.

11. Pencil holder made from pencils.

We cut off the sharpened parts of pencils, you can cut them stationery knife or use a jigsaw. We place the bottom row of pencils on the cardboard tightly to each other, and glue each pencil. Then we begin to lay out the walls, place two pencils on the sides and glue them to the base, we also glue pencils in opposite parts, and continue this until the height of the pencil holder is satisfied with its appearance.

12. Pencil box decorated with burlap.

Glue a piece of burlap onto a tin can and glue flowers formed from light linen fabric around the perimeter of the neck.

13. Cover the pencil holder with wallpaper or craft paper.

We cut off a part from the wallpaper or craft paper corresponding to the size of the tin can, and simply glue the resulting part to the can.

14. Pencil holder in a shirt.

From white felt we cut out a rectangle corresponding to the length of the diameter of the tin can, make a cut of about 2 cm in the center, glue the collar to the can, cut in front, join at the back, bend the collar. Cut a rectangle from an unnecessary shirt and glue it onto the jar on top of the collar. Glue buttons to the front and tie a tiny tie from a matching ribbon.

15. How to make a pencil holder from floppy disks.

In four floppy disks, you need to melt holes with a hot awl, in each floppy disk there are 4 holes (two on the sides and two on the bottom), in the bottom, fifth floppy disk we make 8 holes, the awl needs to be heated over a candle (be careful). Then we form a cube from floppy disks without a top part, we connect all the parts to each other with flexible wire, connecting its ends in the inner part of the product.

16. DIY pencil holder made from a shampoo bottle.

We cut the shampoo bottle in half, but not in the middle, but higher; the cut line can be smooth, round or in the form of cones (this will be the hair of the future monster). We cut out handles from the upper unnecessary part and glue them to the lower part. We glue the mouth of the future monster from black paper, and eyes and teeth from white paper. You can glue Velcro to the back and secure the monster pencil holder to the wall.

17. Vintage style pencil with lace.

We glue satin fabric onto a circle of cardboard and glue lace along the edge of the podium. In the center of the circle we glue paper towel tubes of different lengths. We decorate them with fabric, lace and artificial pearls. Closer to the edge we install a mannequin cut out of cardboard and also decorated with lace, ribbons and beads. We place a figurine of a bird in the center, and on the other edge we place a small photo frame made in a suitable style.

18. Pencil from a catalogue.

We divide the flexible catalog into five identical parts, lay it sideways, bend all five parts to the center, in the form of flower petals, gluing them with transparent glue. Apply a layer of glue along the top of the pages so that the pages do not fall apart. Finally, the product can be painted with spray paint and the unflattering parts can be decorated with beads or lace.

19. Decorate a pencil holder with ice cream sticks.

We glue the ice cream sticks onto two strips, then glue the resulting picket fence to a tin can. We complement the product with a wide ribbon tied on the outer part.

20. Decorate a pencil holder with fabric.

We cut out rectangles from thick fabric corresponding to the size of the selected tin can. Then we decorate each piece with machine stitching and contrasting color threads. We sew the cover along the inside, turn it inside out and put it on the jar.

21. Pencil made from a tree trunk.

We saw off a small part from dry wood with a saw, then use a drill to create many holes in the upper part of the stump, into which we install pencils.

Unusual industrial pencil holders.

We also decided to show various factory-made pencil holders, some of them are really impressive. Below you can see what stylish and unusual stands for stationery there are; they come in the form of: camera lenses, monsters, hedgehogs, balls, Rubik's cubes, imitate stacks of folded paper, garbage containers, etc.

Monkeys made of paper and on paper

Drawing postcards with children

Children should definitely be involved in preparing New Year’s souvenirs - let them at least make them with their own hands simple crafts with monkeys, for example, postcards. They will probably like the process, because during the work they will literally have to fumble around in the paint with their hands and feet)

To make a card with a monkey hanging on a vine, all you need is a sheet of paper and watercolors. Help your child paint 4 fingers and a palm with brown paint, and then let him leave his handprint on the paper! The monkey's head and tail can also be painted with paints.

Or you can cut them out of colored paper:

These simple elements can be used to create a cute monkey face)

In a similar way, children's footprints can be “transformed” into monkeys sitting under a palm tree!

Grandparents will especially like such sincere gifts, because the traces of the little hands and feet of their beloved grandchildren will forever remain on them)

Felt monkeys

If not all, then many needlewomen love felt. It’s a pleasure to sew memorable souvenirs from it! Let's get straight to the point and see how to sew an adorable felt monkey with your own hands.

Option one

According to the pattern, cut out the required number of blue and white parts from felt.

And then we sew all 4 legs and the tail with a buttonhole stitch and don’t forget to put the filling inside!

We try on the position of the legs and tail relative to the body and fix it with several stitches to the back of the body.

If desired, embroider the navel on the front half of the monkey’s body in the form of a cross, and then sew both halves together with a buttonhole stitch. We stuff the body tightly with padding polyester and only after that we completely sew these parts together.

Now comes the most crucial moment - we will make the face. The overall appearance of the toy depends on how cute it turns out, so be careful!

Using a drop of glue, fix the white felt piece on the blue circle, then sew it along the contour with a buttonhole stitch.

Using a few stitches of matching thread, sew on the beaded nose and embroider the mouth with brown thread. Using regular pink blush we draw the monkey’s cheeks)

We connect the front and back parts of the head with a loop stitch, not forgetting to insert ears on the sides, and a loop on top for hanging the toy! In the neck area we leave a hole for filling, fill the head with padding polyester and sew it up. Then we sew on the beaded eyes.

All that remains is to sew the head to the body and the monkey is ready! She's really very cute, it would be nice to receive one as a New Year's gift)

Option two

Elena Babenko prepared this master class on sewing a very cute monkey with a felt flower.

Option three

If you don’t have time to sew a monkey with arms and legs, then sew only the head, it will be perfect as a keychain.

Option four

Such a monkey can be cut out of thick felt by gluing all the parts together. It will be faster, and it will look just as decent.

Option five

Anastasia Kirilenko took the technique of decoupage on fabric as a basis and made felt medallions decorated with beads and sequins.

Medallions are perfect as toys for Christmas tree, and Anastasia also suggests decorating gifts and champagne bottles with them.

Fabric monkeys

Do you prefer another fabric to felt? Patterns of monkeys - very, very different - have been collected especially for you!!! Choose any one you like and sew with pleasure!

Monkeys in Tilda style

Fans of Tilda dolls will definitely want to sew the symbol of 2016 using this technique. A master class consisting of 2 parts (part 1, part 2) will help you.

But you can sew such a monkey toy with your own hands if you purchase the pattern from its author (tilda4kids).

Coffee monkeys

Coffee toys are sewn from plain white fabric (for example, calico), tinted in a special solution of coffee, cinnamon and vanilla, dried in the oven, and then painted acrylic paints. The technology for making such toys is described in great detail in this Cross master class.

Do you already understand where I'm going with this? Of course, this means that you can make coffee monkeys in the same way, which will fill the house with a wonderful aroma, and everyone who gets it will be in a great mood!

The order on the desktop is an excellent indicator of the organization and orderliness of the thoughts of the person who works at it. Nowadays you can find many options for desktop organizers on the Internet. But it’s much more pleasant to surround yourself with unique things that suit you. Anyone can make a pencil cup with their own hands and decorate their desk with it.

You just need a little patience and a little imagination. Material for creativity can be very diverse, sometimes you can simply find it at hand.

For example, make a cup for pencils out of paper. But the following are also suitable for this craft:

  • flower pots;
  • glass or tin jars;
  • plastic bottles;
  • knitting yarn;
  • cardboard tubes;
  • pencils or markers;
  • modular origami.

Modular origami pencil cup: step-by-step instructions

Modular origami- creation of three-dimensional objects from paper elements - modules. Using this technique, you can assemble a toy for a child, a decoration for a desktop, or a cup for pencils. Beginners should not immediately take on complex work and buy special paper. Newspaper sheets or magazine pages are quite suitable for training.

Craft materials

  • sheets of paper of two colors (here red and yellow);
  • ruler;
  • scissors;
  • cardboard;
  • glue;
  • slate pencil.

Using a cup as an example, you will learn the basics of creating paper modules for volumetric origami, connecting them into a cylinder, and experimenting with paper shades. The work is painstaking, you need to be patient, but the result is worth it.

First we need to prepare the paper from which we will make modules.

We turn ordinary paper into a module

Cut out 176 pieces of paper rectangles. We fold them as shown in the picture.

Assembling the base of the cup

When all the modules have been assembled, you can begin to assemble the first circle. To do this, we insert two modules with their sharp ends into the third. The first 8 rows will be assembled from modules of the same main color.

We create a circle of 24 modules. For beginners, making and connecting the first circle correctly is not an easy task. The parts can be glued together. Then they won't fall apart.

In the 9th row we begin to introduce modules of the second color, according to the scheme: 1 yellow module, 5 red ones and so on in a circle.

We gradually reduce the number of red modules between the yellow ones. We decorate all sides of the stand in a similar way.

Decorating the bottom of the craft

To decorate the bottom of the cup, you need to carefully turn its bottom over and seal it with another row of modules.

If desired, you can cut out a circle of cardboard that is suitable in diameter and glue the cup onto it.

Paper pencil cup: step-by-step instructions

Modular origami is a very beautiful and painstaking art. But there are times when time or paper resources are limited, but there is a desire to decorate your desktop with a cute and original stand for stationery. A master class on creating a cup for pencils from paper will come to the rescue.

To create a cup you only need one sheet of paper, but you have to be extremely careful, the paper wrinkles very easily. So that your craft does not get lost appearance While working, you need to collect the cup with light movements.

Step 1

We make a square from a standard A4 sheet. To do this, take it by the corner of the short edge and bend it diagonally. Trim off the rest.

Step 2

We bend the sheet diagonally and horizontally. In further assembly we will focus on the resulting lines. Fold the paper along the horizontal fold line to form a triangle.

Step 3

The upper corner of the triangle needs to be bent about two centimeters, drawn along the fold line with a fingernail and straightened back to its original position.

Step 4

We bend the lower right corner of the triangle to the left to the line marked at the top.

Step 5

Fold the lower left corner of the craft to the right to the same mark. Next, fold the left fold diagonally to the left again. We hide the bottom corner down, between the layers of the product.

Step 6

We carry out similar manipulations on the other side of the craft. Carefully smooth it out ready-made craft. Turn over and open the cup from the bottom. Use your fingers to smooth out the bottom of the cup from the inside.

Our stand is ready.

Stand for pencils and pens made of paper modules. Master Class

Pencil made from modules. Master Class

We will tell you how to make a stand for pens and pencils from modules.

This craft can be made by children over 6 years old. This craft is simple and good for those who are just starting to practice the art of origami.

Paper pencil. Manufacturing

To make a pencil holder we will use three colors of paper: blue, white and yellow. The size of one module in our case is 7.5 by 5 cm. (Modules can be made in a different size and color)

1. Collect yellow, white and blue modules. You will find diagrams for assembling modules.

2. Take 20 blue modules for the first row, 20 modules each for the second and third row. Based on the photo, connect the modules using method 2 ( see module fastening). Close the modules into a ring.

3. Taking the workpiece with both hands, simultaneously press on the middle and lift the outer edge up. The long side of the modules should be on the inside. To prevent the workpiece from unfolding, hold it in your hand.

4. Place the fourth row of modules (long side out), alternating 2 blue and 2 yellow modules.

5. Make five more such rows, shifting the modules by one corner in each of them.

6. In the tenth row, put on 20 white modules with the short side out.

7. The eleventh row should consist of 20 yellow modules, put on with the short side out.

8. In the same way, assemble another row of 20 white modules.

9. In the thirteenth row, put on (short side out) 1 blue, 1 yellow, 1 blue piece, skip two white corners and repeat this pattern four more times.

10. In the next row, for every four middle corners of three modules (blue, yellow, blue), put on 2 blue modules.

11. Finish with five white pieces, placing them on the middle corners of the blue pieces from the previous row.

Note: for a more durable connection of parts, use PVA glue.

The stand for pens and pencils is ready.

PROGRESS OF THE MASTER CLASS

1. Update:

Hello, dear parents. We are glad to see you and invite you to make a pencil holder using the origami technique together with your children, which will be useful for your children in the group, and joint production will bring you closer to your child.

Teachers in many countries have long noticed that origami:

Teaches you to listen to oral instructions;

Teaches you to take consistent actions;

Develops the ability to control fine movements of the hands and fingers with the help of the brain;

Improves spatial imagination and the ability to mentally operate with three-dimensional objects;

Introduces basic geometric concepts in practice;

Develops confidence in one's strengths and abilities;

Helps develop first drawing skills;

Stimulates memory development;

Teaches you to concentrate;

Develops creativity and research skills.

2. Origami – this is an art and not just one, but the art of folding paper. Today, origami is most often taught to children in kindergartens, primary school and various circles of teenage clubs and centers.

Origami is a truly universal constructor, since you can make anything from just one piece (a sheet or square of paper). In most other construction sets, the parts are different, however, with the help of paper you can also master this principle of assembling complex structures.

In this case, a separate paper piece is called a module from the Latin word modulus - beat, rhythm, measure, module). Modules can be the same or different.

Various modules are usually used to create complex structures such as dinosaur skeletons or three-dimensional car models. In this case, we talk about heteromodular origami (multi-modular, from the Greek Heteros - different), when the model is made up of differently folded squares.

3. Workshop:

We will make a pencil out of paper using the origami technique.(Calm melodic music sounds)

You have colored sheets of printed paper of different colors on your tables.
