Hagamos cotillones escolares de graduación. Let's have school graduation cotillions.

In my tutorial today I will show you how to make school cotillions, you know that the end of the year is approaching and the teachers are asking with time to the representatives the folder, the cotillion and cap for the children who pass from one school stage to another, and as the budget is short, it is good that you go buying the material so that you go making them little by little.

So I'm going to start making the cotillion and I want to invite you to join me, learn and do it with me, then I'll show you in other tutorials how to make the folder and the biretta.

You will need:

With the materials ready, let's not wait any longer and get started!

Step 1

• The first thing is to disassemble the box of the big bulb, then place it on the corrugated cardboard and mark all the contour except the tabs at the bottom as shown in the photo.
• After marking, cut out and outline with the tip of the scissors or pen without ink but gently along all the lines drawn and make the folds.
• Then measure the width of the box which measures 9x9cm and mark on a piece of anime and cut out with a knife.

Step 2

• Now apply silicone on the side flange and on the bottom of the box, then glue the anime and close the box, as you can see it is a very easy process.
• Then mark the drawing of the graduate and start transferring each piece on the corresponding foami color, placing the drawing on top and rub with the scissors to mark it and cut it out.
• Cut a strip of blue frosted foami 3.5cm wide and the size of the width of the box.
• Now in the center of the strip, cut out the shape of the front of the biretta.

Step 2

• Now apply silicone on the side flap and on the bottom of the box, then glue the anime and close the box, as you can see it is a very easy process.
• Then mark the drawing of the graduate and start transferring each piece on the corresponding foami color, placing the drawing on top and rub with the scissors to mark it and cut it out.
• Cut a strip of blue frosted foami 3.5cm wide and the size of the width of the box.
• Now in the center of the strip, cut out the shape of the front of the biretta.

Step 3.

• After cutting out all the pieces, start painting the face, apply white paint on the eyes and let dry, then apply the desired color and bind with white paint and water and let dry.
• Then outline with black or dark brown paint the eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, nose and mouth.

Step 4

• Now apply silicone on the upper part of the face and glue the hair, then cut a square in blue foami 11x11 for the lid, a square of 3.5x 4cm and cut into strips for the tassel.
• Then assemble the bust by gluing the neck and scarf.
• Then place the foami lid centering it with the box lid and make a hole in the center with a wooden stick.

Paso 5:

• Apply silicone to the lid (blue foami), turn the box upside down and glue the two lids together and let dry well, then insert the strip through the hole but from the inside out, apply silicone and glue to the base of the cardboard lid.
• Now apply silicone to the fringe square and roll up to form the tassel and then decorate with gold strips.

Step 6

• Apply silicone to the back of the figure and glue on the box, centering the shape of the biretta on the doll's forehead.
• This is how this beautiful cotillion for children is finished.

Step 7

• With the same mold you can make a boy and a girl, only that you will make bows, curls, bows and tendrils for the girl.
• To make the curls, cut a strip of foami about 1.5 to 2mm, roll it on a stick or wire, fasten the ends with thread or type, heat the iron and turn it so that it heats the curls on all sides and let it cool.
• Apply silicone and glue to the box.

Now I'll show you how they turned out.
