Mid-Autumn Festival paper-quilled mooncake basket and storage box handmade illustrated tutorial
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and the most indispensable thing during the Mid-Autumn Festival is mooncakes. But sometimes the mooncakes cannot be eaten on time. At this time, these mooncakes should be placed in a suitable storage box. This unique and interesting quilled paper storage box, or small basket, is also good. It is very suitable for placing unfinished mooncakes. It is ventilated, breathable and has a shading effect~~~The making of this small paper basket for the Mid-Autumn Festival also has some sense of turning waste into treasure. In short, it is fun to make and very interesting. Simple~
1. It is still very important to prepare several tools. For paper quilling, you only need to use simple paper quilling strips, pencils, compasses and white latex. These tools are easily available in daily life. Especially the paper strips, if you don't have them, you can cut them out yourself with a utility knife and ruler. These are easy and easy. As the bottom structure of small baskets and storage boxes, cardboard sheets are needed, so you can choose thicker cardboard as the structure of the floor and the support structure of the lid. First use a compass to draw two circles with a diameter of 9 cm. This limits the size of our final handmade paper basket to about 9 cm, which is definitely more than enough to place a mooncake. , if placed vertically, multiple mooncakes can also be placed. Use scissors or a utility knife to cut out the drawn prototype.
2. At this time, you can start making basic paper rolls. If you still don’t know what paper quilling is, you can refer to this classic tutorial: Basic paper quilling tutorial (Example of making paper quilling flowers). It also tells you how to cut theCome with your own paper. Here a loose roll is made, the basic diameter is 13 mm.
3. Paste the prepared quilling paper loose roll according to the edge of the previously cut circular paper piece with white latex. During the pasting process, not only the loose roll itself and the round paper piece must be bonded At the same time, the paper rolls also need to be bonded to each other with white latex. It’s really hard to say how many are needed. If you pinch it tighter, you may need more paper rolls. If you pinch it looser, you may need less paper rolls, but this will also make Eventually, there was less space for mooncakes.
4. After pasting the first circle, you can start pasting the second and third circles. You can make some adjustments to the color of the paper roll according to your own preferences. What is shown here is that the first three circles are blue paper rolls, and by the fourth circle it turns into white paper rolls. This kind of color change can not only combine corresponding patterns, but also use geometric pattern combinations, thus making the entire effect better.
5. We have made 9 circles here. This height can meet our requirements. If there are unique requirements, we can make it higher. If you want to reflect the feeling of a small plate, you can make it a little lower, which is fine. The most important thing is to make it look relatively stable.
