In summer, it is better to spend more time in the fresh air in the cold. Gathering at the computer will not be useful to anyone. After all, for that they are the summer holidays for children to communicate with peers and do something. Many have already forgotten, and maybe - they were never interested in how to make a water bomb.
This item also explodes, but do not think that it is dangerous. Most likely - it's funny. After all, the paper bomb is filled with water, and then they throw it on the asphalt, and the water splashes out of it under the influence of impact force. That's about the manufacture of this subject and will be discussed further. Thanks to paper bombs, you can cheer up and disperse boredom, despite the fact that it is only a few minutes to do it and the material can be used not expensive.
How to make a water bomb - what material to use
In shape, this item resembles a cube. You can make a water bomb from simple white paper, it will function well in this form. One leaf for the toy is enough for you. First you have to make a square from this leaf. And then to form a basic triangular base, it is then that it is collected by the technique of origami in a square. In the end, this cube needs to be inflated so that it becomes voluminous. Only after that is filled with water. For this cube, other materials can be used, so the bomb will be of high quality and not let water.
To get a strong bomb, it is better to use not ordinary paper, but colored sheets for origami, and even better - waxed paper. You can also take a sheet with A4 format and decorate with a wax pencil, choose the color as you like. This paper does not miss moisture, great for such structures.
IMPORTANT:If you paint the paper with pencils, then in addition to the beautiful color, still increase the moisture resistance of the material. The only thing to keep in mind that the inner layer of paper should be covered with wax, it is there that the bombing with the liquid is in contact.
In the image above, you will see waxed paper, ideally suitable for bombs. It is covered with thin layers of wax on both sides. It is such material that will be similar to balls with water. Paper bombs covered with wax are in no way inferior to rubber balls of water, which teenagers once threw from the balcony for laughter.
- These bombs can even be stored for some time due to increased density.
- Bombs from waxed paper have waterproof characteristics.
- The waxed paper has a translucent effect - it is beautiful and unusual.
Such waxed paper can be bought in household stores and various shops, where they sell materials for needlework and creativity. If there is a desire, then you can make this material yourself. To do this, you need paper, wax, iron, parchment paper and an old towel so as not to smear the place where you will iron the paper.
At first, parchment paper is folded in half, wax is placed inside, the contents are melted with an iron. And then quickly put a white sheet between the parchment sheets and reward again. All waxed paper is ready. It should be even and smooth so that it turns out just that, do not apply a lot of wax and smooth it evenly around the perimeter.
Origami from paper - water bombs
We decided on the choice of paper, now let's find out how to make a water bomb. Drive the process for only a few minutes and the product will be ready. You only need one square of the leaf. As in the figure below. Follow the lines with the arrows, they show the directions in which it is necessary to make bends. And the lines drawn by dotted ones are the lines of bends. Further more.
Process:
- Take a square, form two middle lines crossed in the center. As in image No. 1, which is higher. Then make bends in the place of the diagonals. Expand now the finished sheet of the square. You will get four lines. See picture number 2 in the figure above. All these lines should appear well on paper and turn out to be clearly designed reliefs.
- Now you should form a triangle. In Figure No. 3, arrows are visible, which connect the middle lines of the square. Your task is to combine them among themselves to make triangles. In image No. 4, it is just presented. The finished lines of the bends, cross your fingers so that they no longer disappear on paper.
- It is from this triangle that it is already very easy to form a water bomb itself. He is a basic figure. If everything is done exactly according to the leadership, then the cube will work out easily.
- Next, two isosceles triangles that have a common side (Figure No. 4.1) halve by half, making bends along the middle lines. On the other side, take the same effect. You will already have a triangular figure, but a square.
- Reduce the squares to the hexagons, as in Figure No. 4.2. Such figures must already bend well so that they do not extend, because of the thick layer of paper.
- It remains quite a bit, to form envelopes, bending the corners from above, from below the hexagons. Such bends are made so that the figure comes out, similar a little to the envelope with the corners. The figure is clearly visible, this figure. In order not to get confused in this process, watch the video provided below. It's simple, everything is visible there.
IMPORTANT:The corners should bend the envelopes correctly. They are launched into the side that opens. And one side should be left open. The opposite sides of the figures are made symmetrically. Formed all the bends carefully so that they hold well.
Then it remains only to gently inflate the finished cube, and then also pour it inside the water.

How to inflate water bombs?
Making water bombs from paper is half the work, it is also necessary to inflate such a design so that it acquires the necessary shape. There is a hole at one end of the future cube, so it should be inflated in it until it takes shape. If it is difficult to inflate the design of origami, then you can inflate the object through the tube, or a straw.
It is also interesting that there are many examples of inflatable origami and the most popular of them is a bomb from paper. It is popular among children of preschool and school ages. It is in it that then water is poured, for a spectacular explosion after hitting the bomb on the ground.
A water bomb from paper - how to fill with water?
If you know how to make a water bomb yourself, then filling it with water is no longer difficult. You can fill the item with a syringe, enema, or just through the watering can and a tube. Note that it is possible to fill them with liquid only before use, especially if they are made of ordinary paper without wax impregnation.
As you can see, it is not difficult to make origami bum, but how much fun the toy can bring not only to children, but also to adults.
