Tiger from bushings
Paper towels, cling film, foil, and parchment are sold as rolls on cardboard sleeves. This is a great material for various children's crafts. To make a tiger, taking a cardboard sleeve as a basis, you will need:
- paper towel roll;
- colored paper or cardboard in orange, white and black;
- black marker;
- scissors and glue.
Progress:
- Draw the face, ears, paws and tail on paper of the appropriate color. Cut all parts along the contour.
- If necessary, shorten the sleeve by cutting to the required length with a sharp clerical knife. Then paste over with an orange sheet.
- When all the details of the craft are ready, all that remains is to connect them together with glue and draw stripes for the tiger with a black marker.
The sleeve in the product can be positioned both horizontally and vertically. Examples of different options are shown in the photo. A paper tiger with a vertical sleeve can be used as a holder for pencils, pens or brushes. To do this, you just need to glue it to a stable base, for example, from a CD.
Advice! The sleeve may not be pasted over, but simply painted in the appropriate color with gouache.
Striped cats made of paper and cardboard
For children of preschool or primary school age, tigers made of colored cardboard and paper will be of interest, since they can make them with their own hands, practically without resorting to the help of adults. Each work is a craft, assembled from individual simple shapes (circle, heart, and others).
In the process of creating the symbol of 2022, you will need:
- orange, brown, black and white paper and cardboard;
- pencil, scissors and glue;
- black marker and additional decorative elements, for example, ready-made eyes.
Sequencing:
- Using a template, circle and cut out all the necessary blanks from paper. You can use the bottom of the glass as a circle template, and draw a heart template by hand.
- Connect the parts with glue. To do this, it is better to use a dry glue stick, and when working with PVA glue, you do not need to lubricate the entire part, several point applications will be enough.
- To complete the work, it is also necessary to revive the animal by drawing or gluing eyes and stripes on the skin to it.
You can turn any cat pattern into a tiger, just by adding stripes to it. They can be drawn with markers or paints, or they can be made of brown or other dark paper by tearing it with your hands into thin strips, which are then glued to the base.

For this you will need:
- paper or plastic disposable plates;
- acrylic paints or gouache and brushes;
- scissors and glue.

- Paint and paint the face on a whole plate and the front paws on a plate cut in half.
- After drying, glue the head, body and tail together.
Paper and plastic plates are more reliably fixed by polymer glue "Dragon" or hot glue from a gun.
