So, how to make a cracker made of paper? Everything is extremely simple. Even a child who can create such a toy for the first time will cope with the task.
  1. To begin with, it is worth preparing the material. To create the cracker, you will need to use a sheet of A4 paper or a regular tetrad sheet.

  2. Take an ordinary paper sheet of any color and size. By the way, the product will be very original, if you use a bright paper or sheet with an unusual print. Fold it in half, and then unfold. This will create a fold.

  3. Further, going strictly to the center of the sheet, at the point where the fold line was obtained, bend all the corners.

  4. Then fold the blank of the loud cracker in half. In this case, all bent corners must be inside the product.

  5. Now the resulting figure, resembling trapezoidal outlines, folded in half again. After the workpiece from the sheet of paper must be turned back. This will create the necessary fold lines.

  6. Then fold the corners of the future cracker so that their contours are exactly adjacent to the received line.

  7. Now you need to unbend the corners again. At the same time, the paper cracker is folded along the line, which was used as the reference axis in the previous step. It is very important to fold the corners along the already formed lines that remained after the folds. As a result, you should get a simple figure - a kind of triangle. All contours should be ironed.
