NEWSPAPER ORIGAMI BOX PLEATED SKIRT
This is how to make a box pleated skirt out of newspaper magazine
papers.
I used 5 large papers for my own skirt. First all papers are glued
together into
one long paper and then the skirt is folded out
of it.
The skirt can be made out of other papers too, like wrapping papers or
colorful magazine papers, whatever you like.
Step 1:
Measure
your waist to decide how many papers you need for making the skirt.
Tape / glue 5 or 6 newspaper parts together into one long paper.
Step 6:
Fold
over these two lines.
Step 5:
Repeat
steps 2 to 4 until the skirt has the right waist length.
Step 2:
Each
paper part has two newspaper pages, prefold one page in half, see
arrow.
Step 4:
Glue
/ tape the upper part of both edges together, see white marked area.
Now prefold two pages in half over the two outer lines.
Then fold both lines inwards, to the edge of both pages.
Step 3:
Fold
the edges of the page to the prefolded centerline.
Step 8:
Glue
/ tape the remaining parts of the edges together, see white lines.
Step 9:
Fold
the (sharp) edge inwards.
Step 7:
Fold
parts sticking out of the model backwards, see black line as
example.
Glue / tape both ends together, see arrow.
