MEANING OF PAPER FOLDING TECHNIQUES

Paper folding techniques means shaping or building prototype of different geometric or basic shapes and sizes to form cuboids, pyramids, abstract, sculptural figures etc.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS

The basic materials for paper folding techniques includes:

  1. Chipboard
  2. Cardboard,
  3. Strawboard,
  4. Embossed card,
  5. Drawing sheet,
  6. Brown paper
  7. Adhesive (glue or gum).
  8. Pencil

The basic tools include:

  1. Instruments for cutting (razor blade, cutter, scissors) others are
  2. Ruler or compass
  3. Measuring tape.

EVALUATION.

  1. Define paper folding technique.
  2. Mention five materials that can used in paper craft technique

PROCESS OF PAPER FOLDING

The type of model to be constructed determines the method and materials to be used, this is because the method for constructing a building model (prototype) is different from the one for constructing pyramid or cuboid.

FOLDING A CUBOID

Cuboids are solid objects with six rectangular sides that stand at right angle to one another. This can be got by assembling two cubes side by side. ( a cube is a solid with six equal sides and all its angles  are at right angle)

Step 1: Sketch the object you desire on a piece of cardboard as shown below. Make sure all the six squares             are equal. (it will be good to create flaps on the sides of section 1 of the squares to help for easy pasting of the adhesive)

Step 2: cut out the drawing

Step 3: fold the cardboard along the dotted lines to form a square shape

Step 4; open the square cardboard to form a cube

Step 5: now use adhesive (glue, gum) to join the wings together. (You can easily apply the adhesive on the flaps)

Step 6: produce as many cuboids as possible like six or eight and gum them together in a creative manner as you desire.

USES OF PAPER FOLDING TECHNIQUES

  1. It develops the students’ accuracy.
  2. It develops sense of harmony in the student.
  3. It helps in the basic training of anything construction.
  4. It is used for structural composition
  5. It is used for the production of learning materials such as three-dimensional objects/design.
  6. It develops a sense of creativity in students

SAFETY MEASURES

  • Avoid the use of razor blades, use scissors or cutter
  • Measure accurately to prevent waste of materials
