Eiffel Tower stencil. Disposable stencil Eiffel Tower. Applying the finishing effect

One of the most famous and amazing wonders of the world of our time, which thousands of people from all countries and continents flock to see, is the elegant and slender Eiffel Tower. Images and souvenirs of her elegant forms can be purchased when traveling to Paris. However, if desired, everyone can create a small tower for themselves, armed only with a piece of paper. So, how to make an Eiffel Tower out of paper?

Possible options

It must be said that craftsmen have come up with many ways to create real works of art. An Eiffel Tower made of paper can be folded using the origami technique, as well as assembled and glued from a pre-prepared layout. In the latter case, you will need not only a sheet of colored or white paper, but also scissors and glue.

Preparing for work

How to make the Eiffel Tower out of paper? You need to take a square sheet, white or colored, as you like. It is desirable that its width and length be thirty-five centimeters. The sheet should be placed with the wrong side facing you and folded in half towards you. Now that the fold is ready, you can unbend the sheet and proceed to the main part.

How to fold a tower?

First, the top sheet is folded in half, then the same is done with all its parts. That is, each square resulting from the previous operation is, in turn, folded in half. This must be continued until the sheet produces thirty-two horizontal segments, completely identical and even. All resulting folds must be carefully ironed. Then the leaf unfolds so that the folded lines are vertical. How to make the Eiffel Tower out of paper next? Do the same with all the squares, this time folding the horizontal segments. The result is a lot of fairly small cells.

Folds and markings

The next stage is the creation of the “floors” of the tower. First, the topmost edge of the sheet is folded and cut off. It won't be useful. Then it is folded over and the side is cut in the same way. If everything is done correctly, the result will be a square with markings with a side of thirty-one centimeters. It should be folded twice diagonally, thus creating a central intersection of all folds. The sheet is placed face down on the table, and from the bottom edge a strip of seven and a half segments is folded towards itself. Exactly the same fold is made through three segments, and then everything is repeated on the top of the square and on all remaining sides.

The tower folds

How to make the Eiffel Tower out of paper when all the markings are ready? You need to find a central large square on the sheet that connects all the diagonal folds. On its basis, one of the main forms of origami is now formed - the so-called bomb.

That is, all sides need to be lifted and connected, getting a flat square at the top. The base is ready. The next stage is bending the figure with an accordion. This is precisely why separate segments were made. In this way, all the main corners of the tower are folded. They need to be wrapped inward to more clearly define the shape. The top remains vertical. The same is done for the middle level, which you need to remember to make a little wider than the spire.

Lowest level and shutdown

Having carefully ironed all the folds, you can proceed to the base of the figure. It is the widest. All edges of the folds and lower corners are bent upwards to create four “legs” of the tower and graceful arches between them. That's it, the work is ready. You can leave the figure like this or paint it, paste it with flowers or sprinkle it with glitter.

Tower from the template

An Eiffel Tower made of paper, the template of which you can draw yourself or copy from a picture, can also be assembled using scissors and glue. You need to cut out four identical sides, leaving allowances for the glue, carefully glue everything together, and wait until the glue dries. That's all, the tower is ready.

The product image shows in black the areas of the stencil that will be cut out; through these cutouts, paint, gouache, watercolor - anything can be applied to the surface to be decorated. The background on the product preview is for beauty; in reality, you can draw an entire work of art on any surface - be it interior items, household appliances, walls or ceiling. The product is supplied already cut and ready for use.

Using a disposable stencil is very simple: apply a stencil of self-adhesive film to the surface to be decorated in the same way as a vinyl wall sticker according to the instructions included in the kit. After a 10-minute procedure of applying a disposable stencil to the surface to be decorated, you can immediately begin to create. The areas shown in black on the product preview will be cut out, you can draw through these cutouts. After use, it is advisable to wait until the applied paint dries, and then remove the used stencil from the surface by pulling the parts of the self-adhesive film from which the disposable stencil is made towards you, thereby peeling them off. That's it, now everyone can enjoy the work of art that you created with your own hands!

The main difference between disposable stencils and reusable ones is that you can make a stencil of any complexity, with a large number of thin elements, for example. Also, in a disposable stencil made of self-adhesive film, there may be elements inside other elements; such components in a reusable stencil would simply not be secured and would fall off. Another important advantage is that a disposable stencil for walls fits tightly to the surface to be decorated due to the adhesive layer, and therefore even liquid paint will not leave smudges, as can be the case when using a reusable stencil for painting. To avoid smudges when using reusable stencils for decoration, we recommend using thick types of paint and carefully removing excess paint from the brush. And when using a disposable stencil, you don’t have to worry about this. Thanks to the special glue on the high-quality film that we use, after removing the drawing stencil from the surface to be decorated, no traces of glue remain. Only what you drew will remain. And, of course, you can paint the surface to be decorated through the cutouts with any types of paints and different colors. This is the main difference between decorative stencils and vinyl wall stickers, which are supplied only in color variations specified by the manufacturer. In the kit you will also find a small stencil in the form of our logo to practice beforehand.

What is a disposable stencil from the site? We produce disposable stencils for painting from high-quality self-adhesive film, which means that our stencils are easily pasted and removed from the surface to be decorated without leaving any marks. A decorative stencil is not only a creative tool, but also a great gift! We can make any idea come true! If you haven’t found a stencil in the catalog that keeps you up at night, write to us by email, we’ll make a layout and produce the product as soon as possible.

Before applying the design effect, it is necessary to carefully prepare the surface. Surface type No. 2, technique 1.
Conditions for application:
air temperature: from 5°C to 35°C
relative air humidity - no more than 75% (recommended - 60%).

Applying the base effect

1 Apply the first layer in accordance with the MM6 design effect technique. Products for this are listed in the Base Layer section of the detailed estimate. Let the surface dry for at least 36 hours. After this, you can start gluing the stencil.

Applying glue to the stencil

2 The stencil should be fixed on a vertical plane with the white side up and surrounded with plastic film. A thin layer of Colle Aérosol Repositionnable glue is sprayed onto the surface of the stencil from a distance of twenty centimeters. If necessary, the nozzle can be switched to the position for spraying a wide spray.

Pasting a stencil on the wall

3 Mark the area where the stencil will be located using a level, tape measure and masking tape. Wait five minutes after applying the adhesive layer, stick on the stencil and strengthen it using a pressure roller.

4 Remove the green mounting film and select the stencil elements, checking the diagram.

5 The stencil is rolled again with a pressure roller, pressing on it.

Filling the stencil

6 Fill the stencil with LoftBeton putty. The stencil should be filled in two stages - first halfway deep. After 12 hours, after the first layer has dried, fill completely and level the surface with a spatula to the level of the stencil to obtain a smooth surface.

Applying the finishing effect

7 After Loft-Beton has completely dried (12 hours), sand the surface with fine sandpaper. Apply a coat of Suprime-100 primer and let it dry for 8 hours.
