Triskele Paper Globes

Triskele Paper Globes

 

Another simple WOW factor craft!! These 3d paper globes look amazing and will be great to have as decoration for Christmas

I got the original Idea from Hattifant and made my own template. All you need is paper, pencil, ruler, scissors and colouring pens.

In the first step just copy this template.

You need to draw 3 rectangles about 27cm by 5.5cm (add another 1cm for joining at an end) Now I used a large mug and traced around its edge to make these half moons evenly space on the rectangles.

For the best effect colour in all the half moons the same way

Now colour in the backgrounds in a matching way

Then cut out the 3 rectangles

 

With this next step gentle and slowly fold along the lines of the half moons.

After all the half moons are folded, flatten them out then glue 2 of the rectangles into rings

 

Place one ring into the centre of the other

With the third rectangle place one end into the top gap of the inside ring

 

Now fold over and place the other end into the bottem gap of the inside ring

Pull the ends through to the other side

 

Then glue the ends together

It should look like this

Slowly work the rings around so all the half moons are showing to the front

 

In the final step just gentle push in all the prefolded half moons!!

DONE!!

 

 

How great do they look!!

 

 P.S. you could even make these with wrapping paper to save colouring in
