Indeed, if you have an unnecessary plastic bottle or an egg box at home, then you should not throw these things away. They will come in handy for you to create a beautiful craft - Rooster, which is very easy to do with your own hands. If you are interested in how a rooster craft should be made from an egg box, then this article was created especially for you. Here you will see the process of creating such a thing.
How to make crafts from egg trays - a rooster
Your rooster will have a complex shape. Therefore, it can be installed on a shelf. On the Internet you can find a huge number of crafts that you can easily make with your own hands. But our craft will please you with its originality. To make a similar craft, prepare:
- the egg cartons themselves,
- newspapers and balloon
- PVA glue,
- glue moment and acrylic paints.
Progress:
From this article you can learn how to make a rooster from egg boxes. To create crafts, prepare cells with elongated cones. They will be used to feather the rooster.
The cones should be cut. Cut out the corners between the petals. As a result, you will get petals. From the edges that remain, cut out double petals.
For the beak, immediately glue a couple of triangles. Parts must be glued together with the glue of the moment.
Next, start gluing the rooster out of the egg trays. Starting from the head. Your first row of feathers should have 5 ends. The second row should have 6 rows. The third row should have 8 rows. The fourth row should have 10 rows. The fifth should consist of 12 rows. The last row should have 8 petals. It should cover the back of the neck.
The next step is to make the body of the rooster. It should be created from papier-mâché. To do this, cut newspapers into strips and soak them in water. These newspapers with PVA glue should be applied to the ball. From above, the craft should be pasted over with white paper.
As soon as the papier-mâché is dry, it is worth cutting an oval in the ball. The bottom part should look like a basket. The inside should be painted white.
Now cut out the feathers that will be used for the cock's tail. They are cut out of ordinary cardboard or cardboard boxes. The length of these feathers should be 15 cm.
From ordinary cardboard, it is worth cutting out an oval that will look like a wing. Flowers and petals from cones are glued on top of this oval.
The next step is the final one. In this case, it is worth starting to assemble the cockerel. You should cut the strips and glue them into a circle. As a result, you will get a stand for a rooster. A body should be glued to it. After that, a short but dense strip should be glued to the body, which will be the holder. Attach the head to this strip. After that, glue the wings and tail to the craft.
Painting a rooster with your own hands
If you are done with the creation of the rooster, then after that you should start painting the product. For this purpose, you should use acrylic paints. And all because your cockerel will stand on the table and serve as a basket for you. You will put something in this basket. For painting a rooster, mother-of-pearl paints are best suited. In this case, the rooster will look solid on you.
For painting, it is best to use 5 colors:
- yellow or gold
- blue,
- green,
- red,
- orange.
If you want your craft to look more textured, then while painting on the tips of the petals, you should add other shades.
Finally
Rooster from egg boxes can be varied. But in this article we described the creation of the most original crafts. And if you show a little diligence and your attention, then as a result you will be able to get a beautiful product that will become a wonderful decor in the house. Also, this craft can be a wonderful gift for everyone.
New 2017 is just around the corner. Its symbol will be the Fire Rooster. Naturally, a gift with the image of the symbol of the year is one of the most suitable options. You can quickly make a cute origami cockerel with your own hands and give it to loved ones as an independent craft or create a postcard or panel based on it.
Preparation for work
Since the origami rooster does not require too many additions, both paper and thin cardboard will work. The figure turns out to be monochrome, so it doesn’t matter if the paper is one-sided or two-sided. The Cockerel is performed on the basis of the basic forms of origami "Bird" or "Crane", and our step-by-step master class will facilitate the work.
How to make an origami cockerel out of paper
1. Take a square sheet of paper. Draw diagonals. Then fold the square in half lengthwise and across.
2. Place the square up one of their corners. If you are using single-sided paper, its colored side should be at the top - this is the future color of the whole figure. Fold the basic “double square” shape along the marked lines, as if wrapping the side parts of the sheet inward.
3. Bend up to the center of the lower sides of the square.
4. Turn the work over. Repeat manipulation. You should get a rhombus, resembling a kite in shape.
5. Unfold the sides you just folded in towards the center, grab one layer of paper at the bottom corner of the square and gently pull it up. If thin paper is used, be extremely careful, otherwise it may tear.
6. It turned out a rhombus elongated vertically. Repeat the manipulation on the reverse side of the work. The result is the basic shape of the "Bird", which was mentioned above. But our goal is a voluminous origami rooster, so let's continue.
7. Now grab the top of the diamond and bend it down. Repeat the same on the other side of the work. You again have a rhombus, similar to a kite, but now without seams and other extraneous elements.
8. Check that all the seams on the resulting figure are neatly ironed. Carefully unfold the figure without straightening the seams to the end. The plan should be a four-pointed star.
9. Bend the figure along the marked seams horizontally and place it flat on the work surface.
10. We begin to form the legs of the cockerel. Bend the central triangle to the left. At the same time, make sure that the lower edge of the part goes clearly along the border of the lower edge of the main part of the figure.
11. Turn over the work. Repeat the previous step. Please note that the legs should be bent, that is, look with sharp corners, in one direction. That is, after the work is turned over, the central small triangle now needs to be turned to the right. Let's leave the legs for a while.
12. Now it's time to form the tail and head of the rooster. This will need to be done in parallel. Bend up large side sharp triangles. Note, however, that the pieces don't just fold over, but seem to fold inwards so that the head and tail on both sides of the work look the same.
13. We form the cockerel's tail by bending one of the parts again.
14. With the help of a similar fold, we begin the formation of the head.
The New Year holidays are coming soon, and you are not in the mood at all? Then create an atmosphere of joy and fun around you by making the symbol of 2017 - the cockerel with your own hands. Plus it's a great gift idea! You can make it from anything. In the article, we will consider how to make a rooster out of paper, the most accessible material. Crafts can be made in a variety of techniques: postcard, appliqué, quilling and much more. Which way will you choose?
The simplest cockerel postcard

Let's make the body first. From cardboard (preferably colored), cut out a square of arbitrary size. You can make miniature or large cockerels, which will then act as a postcard. With the help of a ruler, we outline the fold line on the square. Then fold it in half. The body is ready.
Before you make a rooster out of paper with your own hands, let's prepare the rest of the elements. Cut out the head, comb, eyes, beak, wings and tail. It is better to take multi-colored paper so that the cockerel turns out bright and colorful. Glue the cut pieces in place. Cockerel is ready! Now inside the crafts you can write pleasant wishes.
If you want to hide the gluing points, then make the cockerel a little differently. Cut out two circles for the head and glue the comb and beak between them. On both sides of the square (along the fold line), make small cuts. Glue the head and tail into them. This version of the cockerel turns out to be more accurate.
How to make a rooster out of bulk paper
To complete this craft, you will need all the same materials, only you can do without cardboard.
Roll a cone out of colored paper. You can do it, for example, like this. Draw a circle on the sheet and cut it out. We mark on it one fourth part. Cut it out of the circle. Now we turn the resulting figure into a cone and glue the joints.
From colored paper, cut out eyes and a beak in the form of a rhombus. Glue in place. Now cut out narrow strips. In total, about 13-17 pieces are needed (for a comb, beard, wings, tail and legs). Fold three strips in half (but do not bend) and glue to the head. This will be the comb. We do the same with the stripes for the wings, tail and beard.
We are already approaching how to make a rooster out of paper. We fold two strips with an accordion and glue where the legs should be. Let's straighten it out a bit. Optionally, you can cut the paws in the form of circles or cloves. The playful cockerel is ready!
Rooster made of paper in the technique of "application"
With a child, you can make a beautiful application from colored paper. Choose the right colors and think about where you will stick the cockerel. Thick cardboard works best. It should not be colorful, otherwise the application will simply get lost. Stick to pastel colors like green or blue. In addition to cardboard and colored paper, you will need scissors, a simple pencil, glue and a cockerel pattern. You can draw it yourself or take a ready-made scheme.
Let's go directly to how to make a rooster out of paper in We transfer the drawing that we have chosen to the cardboard. We cut out the details from colored paper: torso, head, beak, scallop, eye, beard, wing, tail and paws. Now you need to stick the parts of the cockerel on the cardboard. It is better to start from the middle, that is, from the body. Then we glue the rest of the details, gradually moving towards the edges.
Show your imagination, add or weed. So the craft will look finished.
We make a quilling cockerel
In this technique, narrow paper strips are used, twisted into different shapes with a toothpick or a special device. The works are very beautiful and unusual. How to make a rooster out of colored paper using the quilling technique? In principle, this is a kind of application. First you need to transfer the drawing to cardboard and think about what shape the strips will be twisted into for one or another part of the body. It can be circles, curls, drops, crescents, oblong ovals and other options.
Once all the details are ready, they need to be glued onto the drawing with an edge. Start with the outline of the tail. The strips should fit snugly against each other. Wait for the glue to dry. Now fill in the tail from the inside. Let the glue dry again. Do the same with the wing, head, legs and body of the cockerel.
table setting element
Please your children, make a beautiful accessory for the New Year's Eve - a rooster-cup! Although some adults will not refuse such a table decoration. How to make a paper rooster if we need a cup? Everything is very simple!
The base will be a plastic or paper cup. Wrap it with paper to match the future rooster. Print or draw the details: head, tail and wings, then cut out.

How to make a paper rooster mask
From colored cardboard or thick paper, assemble a cone according to the size of the head. Until you glue it. Cut out the red comb, beak and beard. From blue and black paper, make circles of different sizes. Now glue the scallop into the seam of the cone. Let's collect the eyes. Glue blue, then black circles on the cheeks on both sides. We fix the beak and beard. It remains only to make a hat holder. To do this, sew an elastic band or ribbons on the sides of the cone. The cockerel mask in the form of a hat is ready!
