We fold the sheets with an accordion along their width.

Round off the ends with scissors.

We find the middle of the accordion and tighten it tightly with a thread or fishing line.

Starting from the top sheet, we separate each of the layers in turn, forming a ball.

How to make do-it-yourself honeycomb balls from paper, step by step with a photo

Honeycomb balls must be made from a pack of paper of the same texture. Do not combine simple colored paper and corrugated paper, as they will immediately lose appearance. So, to create honeycomb-shaped balls, prepare 25 sheets of multi-colored A4 paper or cut corrugated paper with dimensions of 21x29 cm into 25 pieces.

Step 1. On a white A4 sheet, draw stripes across its entire width at a distance of 3 cm from each other. It is advisable to alternate the lines with two different colors(we have red and black).

Step 2. Fold all the cut paper in piles. We take a plate with a diameter of 20 cm or draw a circle on paper using a compass with a diameter of 20 cm.

Step 3. Cut out circles, fold them in half and cut. Thus, we will get 50 semicircles.

Step 4. We apply the first semicircle to the stencil so that the lower ends meet the edge of the stencil, and then apply a thin layer of glue to the red lines of the stencil.

Step 5. We apply a semicircle and coat with glue already along the black lines. We continue the gluing process with all sheets.

Step 6. After all the parts have stuck together, we also coat the upper part with glue in a similar way (if glue was applied from the bottom along the red line, then we coat it with black and vice versa).

Step 7. Expand the ball and glue the upper and lower parts of the semicircles. To keep the parts well together, we fasten the gluing points with a paper clip and wait until the glue dries.

Step 8 Remove the paper clips and the ball is ready.
