How to make a paper backpack

All girls play with dolls, inventing various stories, making the world of toys look like reality. In the game, the doll is often sent to school.

To send a first-grader to a toy school, you will need many different accessories, including a backpack. No need to immediately run to the store to buy everything you need. After all, you can make a backpack with your own hands.

Making the necessary accessories is quite simple. In addition, you do not need to buy anything for this, everything is done from improvised materials.

We will tell you how to make such a backpack out of paper.

What will be needed for work

The following materials are needed to make a homemade backpack for a doll:

  • paper;
  • scissors;
  • pencils;
  • adhesive pencil.

How to make an origami backpack

The execution technique is quite simple and is done in several steps.

The basis

  • You must take a sheet of A4 paper and place it in front of you. On the right, a 1 cm wide strip is measured. A fold is made along the marking line.
  • The sheet must be bent in half so that a clear bend is obtained exactly in the middle.
  • The strip needs to be glued to the opposite side. It turns out a kind of "pipe".
  • On one side of the resulting "pipe" you need to measure the middle. To do this, it is necessary to connect the opposite corners, and slightly pinch the formed fold line.
  • Bend the corners to the marked line and draw along the folds of the resulting triangle. It must be omitted and the bend line clearly marked.
  • The workpiece must be deployed back. All fold lines should be well marked.
  • The “pipe” with the resulting bends must be opened and gently pulled in the middle so that a rhombus appears.
  • We divide it into three equal parts located at the same distance from the center of the workpiece.
  • We raise the lower corner to the resulting line, after which it is glued.
  • Similarly, we perform manipulation with the upper corner. He drops and sticks.
  • Bend the right corner of the rhombus to the center line, then the left. The corners are straightened. It turns out the package.
  • We lower our hand into it and carefully straighten all corners.
  • We hide the sides in the resulting package.
  • On top of the package, we bend about 4 cm and draw a semicircle with a pencil. The excess is hiding inside the semicircle and lower it. This is a backpack valve.

Webbing

The next step is the straps. We also make them from colored paper. You need to cut pieces of paper of the required length and bend them several times along the entire length. Then stick to the backpack.

TIP. The resulting backpack can be beautifully decorated with applications, make a pocket, and draw patterns along the edges of the straps and lids.

Another variant of origami is presented in the following diagram.

Making a backpack with a pocket

Materials for the manufacture are used the same as when performing work in the origami technique. However, for design it is necessary to additionally take paper of another color.

The basis

  • You need to take a sheet of A4 format and place it horizontally.

  • One third part is measured from the upper edge, after which a fold is made along the marked line.
  • The top of the sheet is folded to the fold line.
  • A sheet of paper is required to unfold across and bend along the edges, backing off the same distance.
  • Extra bends located in the upper part need to be cut, and glue applied to the side.
  • The lower half rises and sticks to the marked places.

The basis for a backpack turned out.

Additional details

  • Now you need to make the valves . To do this, take paper of a different color and cut 2 identical valves of any desired shape.
  • The resulting tongues stick to the top of the backpack. These are the locks of the future portfolio.
  • Take a sheet of paper of any desired color and cut out small rectangles that are glued on the front side. So it turned out pockets .
  • A pen and straps for a briefcase are cut out of paper. The handle sticks to the top of the briefcase. One part of the straps needs to be glued near the handle, and the second at the bottom of the backpack.

    If desired, a felt-tip pen can be applied to a pattern that simulates a seam.

TIP . To decorate products, you can use beads, sequins, appliqués made of fabric or paper, ribbons.

Having spent a little time and a minimum of materials, you can get an original portfolio for the doll, which will please its owner.
