We all decorate our Christmas trees for the New Year, and everyone, of course, wants it to be the most beautiful in the world, and to please all the guests of your home and yourself. So, today we will make a beautiful toy from modules. We will create it from 300-400 parts, at your discretion. 100 green modules and 200-300 white modules. Also, the craft can be much smaller, depending on what kind of Christmas tree you have. So, the master class is called how to make a ball from modules with your own hands using a diagram and step-by-step instructions.
Let's get to work. For this we need:
1. Modules – green and white.
2. PVA glue.

The first row is 14 white modules. It is advisable to glue it with PVA glue so that it does not fall apart.
We assemble the second row in the same way. On the third row we begin to add 14 modules and alternate colors. We will get 28 modules. We put a new module on each corner of the previous row. We alternate 2 through 1 (2 white, 1 green).
Fourth row – 28 modules. We shift each module by 1 corner in any direction, and so continue until the 11th row.
We take 10 white modules and put them on 3 corners of the previous row. Look at the photo.
The thirteenth row – 10 white modules, put on according to the usual pattern.
We take a thread of any size and color at your discretion and tie it to sticks (toothpicks or matches)
We thread it through ours and tie it.
Now we give our toy the shape of a ball. And our toy is ready.

First, fold the upper corners of the sheet towards the center of the paper. Then we bend the resulting triangle downwards. We repeat the action: bend the upper corners to the middle, but so that the triangle remains at the bottom. Grab the bent corners and turn the craft over. Let's bend it in the opposite direction and bend the wings of the airplane down. Let's fold back the wings. The airplane is ready!

Modular origami
Assembling a modular origami toy is an activity that requires patience, perseverance and attentiveness from you. However, the effort spent will not disappoint you, but will give you another reason to be proud of yourself. This origami toy is proof of this.
Chinese dragon
Modular origami is quite difficult to perform also because it requires preparing a huge number of small figures. Their numbers range from several hundred to a thousand. Then these elements are put together like a construction set, forming a craft. Toys made from origami modules are a rather difficult task that requires certain skills.
In order to make a beautiful and stable craft, you need to choose high-quality paper that can bend well and hold its shape. Think about the color of the future craft right away, so that you don’t simply waste time.
Another New Year's craft using the modular origami technique from Lyudmila Prishchenko. This work embodies an amazing combination of an element from classic triangular modules and elements from the basic modules of Sakura kusudama. The result is a fantastic blooming paper snowflake.
New Year's toy “Snow Flowers”
This master class is intended for leaders of the Origami circle and all fans of modular origami. This toy can be hung on a Christmas tree, decorate the interior of a room or classroom, and can also be given as a gift to family and friends.
Goal: to teach how to fold a snowflake from triangular modules and simple flowers using the origami technique.
This work can be performed by children 9-10 years old.
Modular origami is a type of origami in which products are assembled from individual triangles (modules). Modules are connected by nesting them inside each other. And when folded, the friction force prevents them from falling apart, but glue can also be used.
To make a snowflake, we will need to prepare 444 white modules.
We begin to assemble rows 1 and 2. We take two triangles (hereinafter we will say modules) and put one triangle (module) on the adjacent corners. This can be clearly seen in the photograph:
We assemble the same number of modules in rows 1 and 2.
1 row – 6 modules
2nd row – 6 modules
In the next row you need to add 6 modules. We put one module on each corner of the module. In total there will be 12 modules in row 3. This is also clearly visible in the photo.
In the 4th row we put on the modules in the same way as in the 2nd row: we put on 1 module on 2 adjacent corners.
In the 5th row we add 12 modules, as in the 3rd row, and we get 24 modules in the row.
In the 6th row we put on 24 modules.
In the 7th row we add 24 modules, and we get 48 modules.
We won't add any more. Let's just make our snowflake bigger. To do this, we will assemble 3 rows of 48 modules each, that is, row 8 – 48 modules, row 9 – 48 modules, row 10 – 48 modules.
The base for the snowflake is ready. Now we make the rays of the snowflake. There will be 8 of them. Each ray starts with 6 modules. And the ray is assembled according to the following principle: 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1.
It turned out to be 1 ray.
We also collect the remaining 7 rays. And the snowflake is ready.
Now let's start making flowers. For 3 flowers we will need 15 squares of 9x9 cm blue.
Take a square and fold it diagonally.
Raise the bottom corners to the top corner.
Take the right triangle and fold it in half (flatten it), then take the left triangle and also fold it in half.
We bend the upper corners of the flattened triangles towards ourselves.
Fold the left and right triangles in half.
We connect and glue.
We make 4 more such modules and connect them together. It turns out this wonderful flower:
We make 2 more flowers and glue them onto our finished snowflake. Decorate with paper strips wrapped around a pencil.
Our snow flowers are ready.
I wish you success in making the New Year's toy “Snow Flowers”.
I present to you my new paper craft using the technique modular origami: ball for Christmas tree.
You will never find such a toy in a store, but making it yourself is simple and interesting.
Materials:
- White modules – 80 pieces
- Color modules – 420 pieces (7 colors, 60 modules each)
- Satin ribbon narrow and medium
- Toothpick
- Cocktail straw
So, first we assemble the modules, the choice of color for the colored modules is at your discretion. I used green, blue, cyan, yellow, orange, pink and red modules.
We begin the assembly by simultaneously assembling 3 rows of white modules, 14 modules per row. Please note that the modules of the first row are located on the short side, and the subsequent rows are located on the long side.
We close the modules into a ring.
In the fourth row, colored modules are used, which we put on 1 corner of the module of the previous row. We arrange the colors in the order you like, the main thing is to stick to it in the future.
We also have the next rows of colored modules, alternating them as in the previous row, shifting them by 1 corner.
As we assemble, we give the ball its shape; in total, we need to lay out 15 rows of colored modules.
Dear craftswomen - take a short break from your work and look at the interesting service salesscanner.ru
I discovered this service some time ago and I hope that it will be useful to you too. The main idea is that it collects sale items from top online stores on the Runet in one place, that is, it allows you to buy quality goods at a significant discount instead of paying full price.
We put on the last row of white modules in the usual way and shape it into a ball.
Now take a toothpick, tie a narrow satin ribbon or thread to it, and form a loop.
Place a toothpick in a cocktail tube and pass the tube through the entire ball.
We stick out the toothpick and remove the tube. We trim the ends of the toothpick quite a bit and hide them in the modules of the first row. Due to this, our ball will have a loop. And the structure itself will not be damaged.
On top you can decorate the ball with a satin ribbon bow. This is the master class: the origami modular ball for the Christmas tree is over. Until next time, and don’t miss the new article - a snowflake using modular origami technique.
