| Text | The garland is made up of the interweaving of a series of links. Each link requires a rectangular sheet, 3x1 format. A4 sheets cut in 2 do the trick.
Preparation of material for a link 1. Take a sheet of A4 paper, hold it in a horizontal position. 2. Form a valley fold by bringing the right edge to the left edge from right to left. Strongly mark the fold. 3. Cut along the hinge fold, resulting in two rectangles with a ratio of approximately 3x1. Making a link 1. Take a rectangle in a horizontal position. 2. Form a valley fold by bringing the bottom edge up to the top edge. Mark the fold well. We have a horizontal rectangular shape composed of two flaps linked by a lower horizontal hinge edge. 3. Form a valley fold by bringing the top edge of the front flap up and down over the bottom hinge edge. Mark the fold well. 4. Flip the fold from right to left. 5. Form a valley fold by bringing the top edge of the front flap up and down over the bottom hinge edge. Mark the fold well. 6. Open the fold along the hinge edge. Place it in a horizontal position, with the two adjacent flaps facing upwards. We have a horizontal rectangular shape composed of a rear flap carrying two identical front rectangular flaps, one upper linked by an upper hinge edge to the rear flap, the other lower linked by a lower hinge edge to the rear flap. 7. Form a valley fold by bringing the right edge to the left edge from right to left. Above all, do not mark the fold. We have a three-dimensional rectangular shape which forms a loop whose two ends meet on the left. 8. Form a valley fold by bringing the left edge of the loop from left to right through all the layers onto the loop itself. The fold should be located approximately 1cm from the left edge, and be parallel to this same edge. Mark the fold well. We obtain on the left an upper fold composed of a first small flap linked by a left hinge edge to the rear part of the loop. Under this first flap hides a second small flap linked by a left hinge edge to the front part of the buckle. This is the inner withdrawal. 9. Flatten the buckle with a left to right movement, disengaging the end of the front part of the buckle from the upper fold. We now have a horizontal rectangular shape with a small flap on the left in the upper position (valley hinge fold), and on the right with a small flap in the lower position (mountain hinge fold). The entire shape is made up of a horizontal rectangular flap carrying two horizontal rectangular half-flaps, joined on the central line and linked at the top and bottom of the rear shape by a hinge fold. 10. Using a movement from right to left, lay the upper left flap flat. 11. Open the left part of the rectangular shape as much as possible, spreading the upper and lower front flaps. We can manage to completely flatten the left end without completely unfolding the flaps. The right end should remain closed. The model is three-dimensional. 12. Form a valley fold by bringing the left edge from left to right on the rectangular shape, relying on the vertical folds corresponding to the upper fold made previously. Mark the fold well. 13. Raise the lower and upper left peaks almost vertically using already existing horizontal valley folds. Two vertical edges are formed. This operation will facilitate the following movements which will lead to closing the link. We have on the left, at the foot of the two vertical sides, a pocket formed by the fold prepared previously. Open this pocket slightly. 14. Using a movement from left to right and from bottom to top, bring the small lower right flap flat, in line with the rectangular shape. 15. Using a movement from right to left, bring the right edge of the rectangular shape as far as possible under the pocket. Do not crush the whole thing, so as to form a loop. The two vertical edges serve as a guide. The model now has a complex three-dimensional structure: o on the left, we find a horizontal part framed by two vertical flaps, o each vertical flap extends towards the loop located on the right, gradually becoming horizontal. o when we arrive at the loop, there is only a flat strip, double in thickness. o if we follow the loop, we return to the left via a strip which plunges into the pocket which forms the starting horizontal left part. 16. Slide both thumbs inside the upper part of the loop and go as far as possible towards the left part of the fold, until you go beyond the left end, keeping the part that is in the poached. By pushing to the left, well flat, the strip must fold along already existing vertical valley folds and lay flat. The two vertical edges on either side of the upper part of the ring must be exceeded by the thumbs. 17. Fold the two vertical sides inwards, which permanently close the loop. Flatten the folds well along both sides of the link. Here is a completed link. Making a garland 1. Prepare as many links as you want, without closing them completely, except the first. 2. To form the garland, simply nest the links into each other, closing each link once its place in the chain has been found. All that remains is to make as many as you want, mixing different colors, or even rings of different sizes by modifying the size of the starting sheet. All variations are possible. Perhaps a little precaution: you need to nest a link into the garland being created before closing it. It's more convenient! |
