Find out how to make 3d Paper Decoration Baubles with Honeycomb
Picture 1: Make the primary half or your honeycomb decoration – reduce the circles
Choose medium-weight craft papers for this craft. Don’t use origami papers or lightweight papers for this craft. Hint and reduce out a spherical form of your alternative (this would be the measurement of the decoration).
Use this spherical cutout to hint 12 spherical shapes (x2) on the chosen coloured craft paper. Lower out the traced patterns utilizing a pair of scissors.

We make them in two halves. Most of my earlier circle formed ornaments, solely want 10-12 circles, so extra appropriate to kids in elementary college!
