How to make the Snake Gorynych from paper
Making the torso
If you have a white or pale box, you can paint it with green paint. If there is a color one, the box must be wrapped in green paper. It may be difficult for children to cope with this task; they can stick the paper onto the box, having previously prepared small pieces.
You can wrap the box in paper as follows. First, wrap the entire length and measure the required dimensions, trim off the excess and glue the edges.
Then fold the top side of the roll from the side.
After the sides.
And finish with the remaining bottom.
Repeat the procedure with the second side. You will get a gift like this in green packaging.
Making the neck of the Serpent Gorynych from paper
The three-headed neck is a two-color accordion. To create it, cut two thin strips from the wide side of A4 paper. The dimensions must be selected based on the size of your box. In this craft, the width of the box is 10 cm. Therefore, three necks fit in the upper part, with stripes 2 cm wide.
Glue the ends of the strips at right angles.
Then move the strips one by one, layering them on top of each other. For example, fold the red one onto the green one, press the folds, then fold the green one onto the red one. And so on until the very end, without using glue.
But glue the ends together; if there is any short excess left, cut it off.
Since the Serpent Gorynych has three heads, make 3 such necks. They can be of different colors, combining not only a red stripe with a green stripe, but also red with orange, green with orange, which will contribute to even greater brightness and fieryness of the dragon.
Glue the necks to the body.
Making a head
The head of a fire breather consists of:
- Actually, from a pear-shaped head cut out of green cardboard;
- Two green ears and inner orange parts repeating the shape, but slightly smaller;
- A small circle of black paper cut in two, which will be the nostrils;
- A long red tongue or fire, but it is only in one head;
- Red horns, which can be different shapes on all heads;
- White small rectangular teeth.
Glue all the parts together, glue on the eyes and you will get this head of the Serpent Gorynych.
Make 3 heads, experimenting with colors, shape and number of horns, and ear position.
Glue the heads onto the necks.
Tail and wings of the Snake
Fold the paper in half and cut a triangle. Also cut out scales from red paper.
Glue the scales along the triangle, bend the edges of one of the sides. The photo shows the fold of the triangle from below.
Cut out dragon wings from red cardboard and paws from green cardboard.
Glue the tail to the back of the body and the wings to the sides.
Decorate the body with arbitrary multi-colored figures that match the general colors of the craft, and the paper Serpent Gorynych is ready.
Since you and I already know how to sculpt a dragon from plasticine, sculpting the Serpent Gorynych will not cause you any difficulties, because these mythical characters are similar. Only the Serpent Gorynych is a native Russian hero, and the dragon came to us from Eastern mythology. In any case, you may need to make the Serpent Gorynych if you are staging a puppet show based on any popular folk tale. There is no need to explain to anyone that such a character is usually depicted as green, with a long tail and three fire-breathing heads.
To sculpt the Serpent Gorynych you need to take:
- green and red plasticine;
- black and yellow plasticine;
- stack.
1. Most of all green plasticine will be used for sculpting all the main parts. Also, the mass should be dense enough to hold its shape well, especially in the place where the three heads will be attached.
2. Roll one large ball for the body and tail, three small balls for the heads and necks.
3. Turn all the prepared green parts into tadpoles.
4. Bend the parts (head and neck), draw out the front part of the muzzle. Cut the mouth. The snake should be made to breathe fire, but it is not necessary to attach fire to all three heads. For example, attach an orange flame to one head and a red snake tongue to the other. Also make the eyes red to show a fierce appearance.
5. Draw out the ball into a drop, showing the body and tail. Attach all three heads to the body.
6. Add nostrils.
7. Form triangular cakes for the wings from the yellow or orange plate. Show the membranes in a stack.
8. Attach the wings to the back. Attach green paw cylinders with red claws to the belly.
Russian folk craft, the hero of many fairy tales - the Serpent Gorynych is ready from plasticine. Our lesson can be considered finished, but an interesting performance based on our favorite epic can begin.

You can make very interesting and beautiful garden crafts from plastic bottles and polyurethane foam. The site has already collected quite a collection of various crafts for the garden, made with your own hands from scrap materials (plastic bottles, twigs, old tires, etc.). Each craft on our site is original and unique. You can find both the simplest ideas and more complex ones. You have also already become acquainted with interesting crafts for the garden of Nadezhda Gulak, and today you will get acquainted with another work of this wonderful master - this is the Serpent Gorynych made from plastic bottles and polyurethane foam. Look how funny Gorynych turned out, I just want to quickly create something exactly like this for myself. Don’t be afraid to create, it may seem difficult at first glance. Even if you don’t succeed as you planned, I know for sure that your crafts will be unique in their own way.
Method for making the Zmey Gorynych: To make the Zmey Gorynych, we need a KAMAZ filter, into it we insert three sticks of the length we need, stick a plastic bottle in there and foam it. You can make a frame from other available materials, depending on your imagination.
Now we take 2.5 liter plastic bottles, cut them in half, make them shorter and put them together again (this is done so that the faces are smaller and not very elongated). Then we attach them to the frame; these will be the faces for our Serpent Gorynych.
We take a stone and place it on the filter, this is done for the stability of our Gorynych. If there is a strong wind, our craft will not fall or fly away. If there is no stone, find something heavy and replace it.
We draw the location of eyes, nostrils, etc. on plastic bottles.
To reduce the consumption of polyurethane foam, we add volume using newspapers. We wrap newspapers around Gorynych’s torso and use tape to secure them.
Now we will make ears from a plastic bottle. We cut small squares from a plastic bottle, round them and make ears. Using tape, we secure the ear so that it does not unfold. See the dimensions of the blanks yourself, because each craft will turn out to be different in size, some are large, some are small.
We fix the finished ears on the top of the head))) We make small holes in the bottle and insert the finished ears there.
We also cut out blanks from thick cardboard for making the tail and wings. We also fix them in the right place.
Next, we apply mounting foam throughout the frame.
For stability, we stick a wire - this will be the tail.
We take nylon tights, fill them with scraps of polyurethane foam (waste left over from crafts) and make the stomach, legs and arms.
Trim off excess foam.
We take the wire and make fingers on our hands.
Then we wrap them with a bandage and foam them.
Wrap the entire craft with a bandage and then treat it with PVA glue + tile adhesive.
This is how the Serpent Gorynych turned out from bottles and polyurethane foam.
Now we cover our Gorynych with three layers of primer. Allow each layer to dry a little.
The Serpent Gorynych is almost ready, we paint it with regular enamel, you can also use paint in spray cans. All Zmey Gorynych from plastic bottles and polyurethane foam is ready.
You can give him something in his hands, for example a flower. Here, too, as your imagination tells you, or you can leave it unchanged, it turned out very beautiful.
We thank the author for the interesting master class on creating the Serpent Gorynych and are looking forward to new interesting ideas.
Snake mask with snake skin effect: instructions
Recommendations on how to make a Snake mask with the effect of snake skin:
- You can take a regular paper carnival eye mask and creatively process it. For example, take lace fabric and apply it to the mask, then stretch the fabric and apply acrylic paste using a bristle brush. At the same time, the lace fits well to the mask without creating folds.
Mask
Lace
- Interestingly, after covering half of the mask with paste, you can remove the lace from it, since the texture of the lace will immediately be imprinted on it. It’s better to apply it this way, in halves, letting each one dry in turn.
- And, by the way, it is not at all necessary to cover both halves with paste - the second can be decorated with painting or even left with a smooth surface - this will make it even more mysterious and interesting. If a piece of texture suddenly remains sticking out somewhere, sand the mask.
Paint
- Now this beauty needs to be painted. It is generally accepted that the snake is green in color. You can use this color, or you can choose your own, for example, to match the color of the suit. Having chosen the colors, dilute the acrylic paints with water so that the coating becomes embossed, and cover the entire mask with this mixture. By painting, you can combine and add colors - this will only “revive” your mask.
Painting
- When the entire surface is painted, darken the edges of the eyes, it will be more expressive. But on the contrary, lighten the top a little.
Painted over
- Now let the paint dry and varnish the product.
Varnish coating
- The final touch is the decoration of the Snake mask: rhinestones, shiny buttons, beads, in a word, anything can be glued to the mask, adding charm to it. Queue for the elastic band that will hold it in place, and your mask can be put on!
Ready
You can also make masks of Santa Claus, Wolf, Bull, Sheep, Hare, Tiger according to the instructions given in the article. It also contains the best templates for crafts.
The easiest way
Do you want to spend a nice day having fun and usefully, watching how a kite you made with your own hands cheerfully soars in the sky like a bird?
If you do not yet have experience in creating such aeronautical structures, we advise you to start your journey by assembling the lightest kite model. It is attractive because it can be done without a complex drawing. To work, you will need the simplest materials at hand:
- tracing paper;
- scissors;
- wooden twigs or skewers about 60 cm long;
- tape or tape;
- thick threads or twine.
Instead of wooden twigs, thin window beads will do, and tracing paper can be replaced with plain paper (but remember that the lighter the kite, the better it will fly).
Fold the twigs crosswise as in the photo, secure the joint with thread or thin rope, and lubricate it with quick-drying glue for strength.
Place the resulting blank on tracing paper and cut out a quadrangle (well, it’s hard to call it a rhombus from a mathematical point of view), for which the crossed sticks will be diagonals. Glue the twigs with tape to the paper base, paying special attention to the corners.
Cut a tape about 2 m long and 2 cm wide from tracing paper. Glue it around the perimeter of the quadrangle with tape.
Cover the intersection of the rods on both sides of the tracing paper with tape. Using a nail heated over a fire, carefully burn a through hole to secure the thread to the kite.
Thread the thread through the hole, make a loop and tie it around the cross. Remember that the loop should be on the inside of the kite. Tie a thread, cord or fishing line wound on a spool to the loop (see how to make a spool at the end of the article).
The most important stage has arrived - decorating. Entrust this task to your child: he will independently decorate the craft at his own discretion. If you are assembling a test copy to study its flight characteristics, you can skip the design stage.
The simplest kite is ready. You can go outside to catch the wind and cheer yourself up.
