A weightless craft made of napkins and wire will decorate any room. Gentle, graceful ballerinas can be used as pendants, put on a festive table, hanged on a Christmas tree. For work, you will need a piece of flexible wire, several napkins, glue, scissors.
First we make the frame. We twist the body, arms, legs from two wires. We make brushes, feet, and head in the form of loops. Then we cut the napkins into equal strips and wrap the entire frame of the craft. For thin paper to bond well, the tips can be slightly wet.
To make a pack, you will need to straighten one napkin, cut into four squares. We impose the details on top of each other and twist two times to make an acute-angled triangle. Squeeze and scroll the paper with your hands - give the texture. Round off the bottom edge of the future skirt.
Now dress the ballerina in a weightless outfit. To do this, make slots for the head and hands and place the dress on the frame. In the waist area we tie a thread or a shiny ribbon. You can decorate your head with beads, craft a paper kokoshnik, crown, hoop.

Preparations for the spring holidays are held with special trepidation. Making ceremonial dolls for Shrovetide has long become an established tradition. Beautiful crafts from napkins will be a great gift, decorate a plate with pancakes and other treats. To create a miniature beauty of Shrovetide, several multilayer thin sheets, threads, scissors will be required. We will act in the following way:
Gift wrapping
With your own hands you can make not only the original packaging for the gift, but also decorate it with bright napkins. We will use the simplest materials in the next master class: empty pack packaging, two-color napkins (for example, red and pink). You will also need glue, a figured and a simple hole punch.
We prepare the box - remove the glossy layer with the manufacturer's information. We paste it on all sides with a napkin of a brighter color. When the gift box dries out, cut off the protruding paper over the edges and proceed to the decor. We take a pink napkin, wrinkle and glue, without straightening, on the product. Divide the red blank into 4 squares and twist from each flagella. Then we lubricate the tubes with glue, with effort we wind them onto the handle in a spiral.
When all the parts dry out, glue the bundles on a pink background, imitating an uneven twig. We make flowers from the white album sheet with a puncher and slightly twist the leaves with them. Combine the petals with an offset to the center and glue to the red branches. The middle can be decorated with a rolled up napkin.
The use of napkins for decoupage in the interior
For the decoupage, special multilayer napkins with a stronger upper layer are used, but ordinary table elements are also suitable, provided that the decoration takes place very carefully. So that the product does not tear and sticks better, needlewomen use some tricks: they apply hairspray to the surface or glue them using a file.
