Activity 93:   Paper Ball and Card Umbrella

​

We are going to make a Paper Ball, which can be adapted to make a paper umbrella in card.

We made this in one of our online classes - see our gallery page for some examples.

​

You Will Need: 

​

• Nice coloured paper

• Pencil

• A mug

• Scissors

• Glue

• For the umbrella card you will need a card and a pen too.

Step by step guide:

​​

Trace the circumference of the mug onto the paper.

Repeat step 1, at least 6 times to create 1 ball.

Cut out all 6 circles.

Fold each circle into a half circle with the pencil marking on the inside.

Now start to glue each half circle onto each other as shown on the photo. Hold the glue for a little bit to ensure the paper will stay in place.

If you would like to hang your ball up or make a garland out of them add your string before sticking the last paper part on.
