- double-sided tape on the foam;
- stationery glue;
- a simple pencil;
- black marker;
- scissors;
- ruler[/INDENT]

Stages of making a paper giraffe:

1. To create a giraffe from colored paper, we need yellow double-sided half-cardboard, which will be the basis of the torso of the animal and the main color in our craft. We take and cut out of it a rectangle with parameters 15 x 9 cm. If you want to make a giraffe from colored paper bigger, then increase these dimensions in two or even three times.

2. To make the torso, you will need to draw a rectangle. Horizontally, measure off sections of 2 cm and 5 cm. The sides of the torso will have 2 cm, and the front and back of the animal - 5 cm. You should also leave 1 cm for gluing.

3. Fold the giraffe torso blank along the pencil lines.

4. Put glue on the side that is 1 cm wide.

5. Glue. Allow a little time for the edges to set.

6. Let's start making the head. Take yellow double-sided half-cardboard and cut out a half-circle with a width of 5 cm.

7. Cut out two circles from white paper, draw pupils on them with a black marker and glue them on the yellow piece.

8. Now cut out horns and ears from the main color.

9. Turn the head over. Glue on the horns.

10. Now it's time for the ears. Glue them on the sides of the head with stationery glue.

11. Cut out hair from brown half-cardboard.

12. Glue them on the very top of the head.

13. Use a marker or felt-tip pen to complete the lines. Glue the head to the body.

14,15. Cut out an oval, 5 cm wide. Draw nostrils and a smile on it with a black marker.

16. On the back side of the section, glue a piece of double-sided tape on the foam.

17. Remove the top layer of tape and glue the oval. The head of the giraffe is ready.

18. To make the animal look like a giraffe, cut out spots from brown double-sided half-cardboard. They can be of different sizes and shapes.

19. Glue on the torso. You can also glue one small spot on the ear.

20, 21. Make the tail. Cut out a thin strip of yellow cardboard and the tip of the tail from brown cardboard. Glue them on top of each other.

22. Attach the finished tail to the back side of the giraffe's torso.

23. The only thing left to do is to make the legs. To do this, cut them out of yellow cardboard and the hooves from black cardboard.

24. Glue the hooves to the ends of the legs. Bend at the base at an oblique angle so that you can easily glue them to the body.

25. Glue on the sides of our blanks. And there, a beautiful giraffe from colored paper is ready!
