Step By Step Tissue Paper Ballerinas
You need some tools like scissors, pliers and a thread. First, take a wire and bend it into the shape of a small ballerina.
Now divide the tissue paper into several layers. Keep some single-layer papers for later use. Without using scissors, tear the papers into 1.5 inch wide strips.Take the wire frame and cover it with paper strips and glue it. Refer the figure here to get a clear idea.
Now decide the dress length of the ballerina and cut the tissue papers accordingly. Be sure to make a rounded hemline. To get beautiful folds, curl the ballerina dress in two different directions. For a single ballerina, you need at least two dresses.
Make a small hole on the dress and put it on the frame. Now you can tie the thread around the waist and adjust the dress.
