VIDEO: Fold paper school cones to a maximum of A4 format

School bags made of paper for school enrollment

In many cases, school enrollment is a long-awaited event. Folding school cones with mum and dad or grandma and grandpa become wonderful hours of togetherness.

• Your paper for folding the School cone with a maximum format of A4 or less, it should be around 80 g / m². Material that is too solid is difficult to work with.
• A comfortable place with sufficient work surface is important for the child when folding and gluing.
• When folding paper, your helping hand is often important to get a correct result. In preschool age, children can have difficulty retracing the fold without slipping.

It's much nicer to do things together. The enthusiasm of the little ones when folding paper is a reward for the patience of the big ones.

Maximum A4 format for school cones as table decorations

Your guest list for school enrollment is ready. Paper in the children's favorite colors is ready. Ready to go.

1. You put paper to fold, up to A4 in size, upright in front of you.
2. Fold the lower right corner over to the left. The distance to the upper edge of the A4 sheet is 85 mm. It also goes from bottom left to top right.
3. Now fold this strip, 85 mm high and 210 mm wide, down onto the triangle. Here you have to make sure that the upper edge of the triangle is exactly at the fold of the rectangle.
4. Now the resulting school cone is turned over. The back is now in front. The protruding edge at the triangle slope also forms a small triangle.
5. First fold this small triangle from the edge onto the closed tip and then follow the knack. Then open the paper again and smear it with the glue stick.
6. Now this corner is glued in place. This is the lower tip of the paper school cone that you turn so that it is pointing at you. This certainly reminds grandma and grandpa of paper shopping bags that used to be commonplace in every store.
7. The long side of the triangle comes to the back, the short side to the front. Then align the fold flat to the right in the right angle to the work surface.
8. You open this bag and pinched the two sides of the triangle that were being created on the right and left.
9. Now you have a pointed triangle with a tapered flap that is turned back like an envelope to close the paper school cone.

Complete. The pointed triangle made of paper after folding is a maximum of 210 mm high.

After the folding comes the decorating

The paper school cones still look a bit bare. That can be changed easily.

• Children love stickers with their favorite motifs. This is an easy way to quickly decorate the folded paper nicely.
• You can also add flowers, hearts, sun, etc. Draw on paper with a different color and cut out for gluing.
• If your child or Grandchild likes to color, you can draw funny motifs on a white sheet and have them colored.
• The name of the guest is important. The grown-ups then have to write this or the children use a stamp box with the help of the adults.

Filled with little things (mini books, stickers, hair accessories, etc.) and sweets, the paper turns into a place card after folding and a loving souvenir gift for everyone.
