We make 7-10 inclined slits along the fold line (approximately every 1 cm). Their angle of inclination is 50-70 degrees, and their depth is ¾ of the height of the folded sheet.

As an original New Year's craft, you can make such a cockerel out of paper with your own hands. And make it voluminous, and not just a silhouette.
This is exactly what we will do in today's master class.
Necessary materials:
- double-sided half-cardboard in red, white, yellow and brown tones;
- black marker with thin tip;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- glue.
Stages of making a three-dimensional rooster craft:
- Since our rooster is fiery, we will make its body red. Therefore, take a sheet of paper of a given tone and cut out a large circle.
- Make a cut from the edge to the center of the circle. Fold the circle into a cone.
- Apply glue to the sides and glue the figure together.
- In the meantime, cut out a beautiful and large scallop from yellow paper.
- Place it on the top of the cone.
- And then take yellow and brown paper and cut out two elements.
- We bend the yellow strip in half and glue the ends together to obtain a voluminous cockerel beard. But we simply bend the brown diamond in half.
- Glue the beard in the center of the cone. We put the beak on it.
- Now we will make eyes from white paper. To do this, cut out a part in the form of glasses. Let's draw two black pupils. Glue the finished eyes onto the cockerel's muzzle just above the beak.
- Cut out long strips of brown paper, 1 cm wide.
- We fold each strip like an accordion.
- Apply glue to one bent part and glue it to the inside of the bird. On the other ends we glue the paws, which we cut out in advance from paper of the same color.
- The bird's wings will be yellow. Cut them out in the shape of big hearts.
- Bend the sharp tip of each heart.
- Apply glue to the bent part of each wing and glue it to the sides of the craft.
- Now let's prepare the elements to create a fluffy tail. To do this, cut out strips different lengths, alternating colors. The more stripes there are, the more magnificent the rooster's tail will be.
- We twist each strip.
- We connect the strips to each other.
It’s worth starting classes with a poem about Cockerel .
Cockerel
By the river above the water
A tower was built.
There with Sister Hen
Once upon a time there lived a brother, Cockerel.
Winter is already turning silver,
There was ice on the river.
“What a nice ride!” —
Thought the Cockerel.
Sister forbade
Ride the Cockerel
And she didn’t even let me in
Walk along the shore.
I watched him closely,
Scarecrow Cockerel:
“There you will slip down the hill,
And the river is deep.”
Sister on her birthday
I was expecting guests,
And lots of treats
I had to cook for her.
She's standing by the stove
And fries pies
And the brother rushed to the river,
Grabbing your skates.
He barely rolled
And he sang: “Ku-ka-re-ku!”
How the ice suddenly broke...
Oh, woe to the Cockerel!
Can't move
Like a key, it goes to the bottom.
Oh oh! Save me, sister!
Oh, Chicken! I'm drowning!
My sister runs to the scream
And the guests follow her:
Magpie, Goose, Tit,
Bullfinch and Sparrow.
They have a lot of difficulty
The prankster was saved
Covered with a blanket
And they took us on a sled.
Came to see the patient
Scientist Doctor Goose.
“There is no great harm here,
I undertake to cure.
Let him drink aspirin
Twelve powders
He will drink tea with raspberries,
And he will be healthy."
Our guests settled down.
Lunch is already ready:
Mountain of oatmeal
And a pile of pies.
Then suddenly I got worried,
My sister's brother jumped up:
He was very scared
That the guests will eat everything.
And the guests made noise,
There was laughter all around,
Like a Cockerel out of bed
He fell head over heels.
The birds trilled and laughed,
The goose started cackling...
And then the fun began -
Can't describe it with a pen!
- Guys, why did such a misfortune happen to the cockerel?
— How was the cockerel treated?
— What amused the guests?
This is the kind of funny cockerel that we are going to make now.

It is not difficult to guess that the Fire Rooster brings with it fiery and bright colors: orange, red. Sages have long been of the opinion that fire symbolizes a continuous upward striving and has a powerful living energy that has purposefulness and self-improvement.
Red colors have always symbolized love and passion. So we can conclude that 2017 will be full of romantic adventures and adventures.
For established couples, the year promises turning points: marriage, rebirth former passion etc..
In accordance with eastern calendar, The Rooster appears as a sophisticated, witty and insightful animal. In all his endeavors, he strives for perfection and tries to bring everything he starts to an ideal end. In addition, he simply cannot ignore attention and loves compliments in his direction.
When celebrating the New Year 2017, its symbol should be present in every home, so in this article we will look at how you can make a rooster with your own hands. Such cute souvenirs can also be used as a gift, because they are always priceless.
There are always a few balloons at home. If from a yellow ball of yarn there is a thread about 1.5 m long left, and there are scraps lying around somewhere in the bins cotton fabric, we will take out the listed wealth, PVA glue, a piece of cardboard and scissors. Let's make a colorful Christmas tree toy - a rooster.
In order to make a rooster with your own hands, you need to prepare:
- ball of yellow yarn
- balloon
- scissors
- red fabric
- ready-made eyes for toys
- PVA glue, or better yet superglue.
First, let's inflate the balloon to the size we need. This makes it easier to decide what size to make the paws, beak and comb of the cockerel.
From red fabric we cut out a triangle - a beak, two legs and a trapezoid. Last geometric figure will soon turn into a real comb. We won’t decorate the earrings, too many red details spoil it appearance toys.
Fold the trapezoid in half and round the fold line in two places. After this, shorten the base of the ridge slightly.
Lubricate the balloon generously and quickly with PVA glue. We take the ball in our hands and wind the thread around the ball in in no particular order. The number of turns is not limited, only the second row will have to be additionally lubricated with glue.
On the last turn, we decided to leave a loop, with which we will hang the cockerel on the tree.
All that remains is to glue the parts cut out of red cotton onto the yellow base. I must say, the work is not easy. PVA takes a long time to dry. It is better, if possible, to use Moment glue or any other superglue.
Bye part Christmas decorations dries out, let's take care of the cockerel's wings. We will cut out a blank from cardboard that is similar in appearance to the crown shown in the picture.
We wind a thread of yarn between the teeth of the cardboard in several layers, after which we fix the bottom of the wing by stretching the thread between the rows. We remove the finished wing from the machine. Let's repeat the procedure again.
We glue the wings to the toy using PVA. We are waiting for the result - for the glue to dry completely for at least an hour. Well, all that remains is to attach the ready-made eyes purchased at the craft store.
We can't wait to put the cockerel on the Christmas tree and admire the toy we made with our own hands.
Everything is fine, but an orange ball with yellow yarn looks more harmonious. We recommend using fleece instead of cotton.
