“Oh, what a loss - winter is gone ...” Yury Vizbor once sang. I hope you also love this fabulous time of the year, when the world is white and clean, dim and silent, a time in which you think and dream so well, breathe so easily, and at the same time, comfort and warmth are so dear. hearth. If you want to reflect the charm of winter in your needlework, our master class is for you.

Decoupage is a kind of needlework in which, with the help of cut and pasted drawings, they create the effect of a surface decorated with painting. Drawings are cut out from special napkins for decoupage, decoupage cards, even clippings from ordinary three-layer napkins, pictures printed on a printer, dried flowers, threads and lace are used.

In order for the product made using the decoupage technique not to become a primitive appliqué, a background is created for the product and supplemented with a drawing.

There are two main approaches to getting the job done:

• Background drawing, drawing sticker, revision; drawing in this sequence often rises above the background.
• Surface preparation, image sticker, background work. When working in this sequence, the pattern and surface merge.

In order for the product made using the decoupage technique to look solid, it is extremely important that the background merges with the cut out picture. To create a background, paints are used, more often acrylic, as they have many advantages: the industry produces many colors and shades of acrylic paints; easy to apply to the surface; dry quickly and do not smell; by diluting acrylic paints, translucent shades can be obtained.

Techniques used to refine the product:

1. Drawings;
2. Applying shadows;
3. Creation of three-dimensional drawings using three-dimensional decoupage cards, thermoplastics and thermal films.

The finish of a product has an important influence on its appearance. Usually the product is varnished.

Experienced decoupage craftswomen advise using:

• Acrylic water-based varnishes, glossy and matte;
• Yacht lacquer, it can also be glossy and matte, gives the surface a yellowing effect, good for vintage styling;
• Parquet varnish.

For the manufacture of products using the crackle technique, the essence of which is the visual building up of the surface by creating a grid of small cracks on it. To achieve this effect, a special craquelure varnish is used, which can be one-component and two-component.

Decoupage is relatively easy, faster than mosaic or patchwork and very beautiful.

You can make a panel on a saw cut tree with your own hands, use a ceramic plate or any other base. Choose a picture and - creative success to you.

Beautiful winter panels in other techniques

Inspired by the beauties of winter, you can make wonderful panels with your own hands that will decorate the wall of your house, using a variety of techniques.

Among them are:

1. Patchwork;
2. Quilling (twisted paper products);
3. You can make applications from a variety of materials, you can combine materials.

It is especially pleasant to use the little things stored in the house, which are a pity to throw out and can no longer be used for their intended purpose.

Patchwork or patchwork technique

To create a patchwork style panel, it is interesting to use scraps of fabrics, ribbons and lace left over from other needlework or well-preserved details of used clothing. We look at what we have, get inspired and draw a sketch. Then we wash and iron the material. We cut out the patterns according to the sketch and cut out the material. We process the edges of the parts. We sew parts onto the base manually or on sewing machine- and our panel or even a whole patchwork picture is ready.

Quilling technique

This is the creation of compositions, both flat and voluminous, from twisted narrow strips of paper - the so-called modules. You need to start, as in almost all needlework, by creating a sketch. Then they choose paper, create modules, stick them on the base - and you can admire the masterpiece. Despite its simplicity, this work requires perseverance, patience and accuracy. The beauty of the product depends on the evenness and uniformity of the modules and on the accuracy of gluing. To obtain even modules, you need perfectly even paper strips and a special twisting tool - a ruler with a slot or a needle.

A handy DIY tool for twisting can be made by taking a darning needle, driving it into a pencil to make it comfortable to hold, and breaking off the top of the eye to make a small two-pronged fork. Grab the end with this fork paper strip and twist - you get a tight and neat curl.

Application

If you want to do crafts with your children, or you are looking for inspiration for needlework in kindergarten, then ideal option will create an application from cotton pads. Blue cardboard, white paint for snowflakes, yellow for the moon and stars, three cotton pads, small button-eyes, a mouth drawn with a felt-tip pen or lined with lace - and a wonderful snowman is ready.

Take your baby for a walk in the forest or park, see what beauty is around. Maybe you will see new ideas for joint needlework. And then a wonderful winter fairy tale will forever remain with you, reminding you of winter and the joy of communicating with the closest and dearest person and the wonderful moment of the birth of an idea. Dare!

Kanzashi hair ornaments

The Japanese traditional kanzashi hair ornament has been known since the 17th century. Kanzashi is made from varnished wood, precious metals, turtle shells, silk. Creating real kanzashi is a laborious, jewelry work that only professionals can do.

In amateur needlework, kanzashi is understood as the creation of hairpins decorated with fabric flowers.

There are only two elements in kanzashi - a narrow petal and a round petal. Petals can be voluminous and flat. Both of them are rolled from a square blank and glued together.

Experienced craftswomen advise to immediately melt the prepared squares on a candle or a lighter. Or immediately cut the parts with a soldering iron or a wood burning device.

5. Brushes
6. Simple pencil
7. Piece of cloth

8. Small cardboard box
9. The threads are thick
10. Papier-mâché
11. Plasticine stack

Progress
To begin with, we decide with a picture what to draw. You can like mine, a house with a tree and a fence. Or you can have a Christmas tree instead of a tree, you can even have a snowman, a complete flight of fancy.

After we have decided on the pattern, we begin to lay out our papier-mâché pattern in volume. I make the mass myself, you can make a lot of it and store it for a long time in a tightly closed bag or in a jar with a tightly closed lid. I take white paper napkins, tear them into large pieces (and sometimes entirely), pour hot water over it, and then thoroughly mix all this porridge with a blender into a homogeneous mass. Then I squeeze out all the water through cheesecloth: it is better to squeeze out in small portions, it is more convenient. When the whole mass is squeezed out, I add PVA glue there, in such an amount that a plastic mass is obtained and everything is very well kneaded. Then I add linseed oil. For lack of linseed, you can add olive oil. The only difference is that olive oil can “turn yellow” after drying, but it doesn’t matter to me: I paint everything anyway.

I used a palette knife in the formation of snowdrifts, you can use a plasticine stack. You can also trim the uneven edges of the tree with a stack. But it is better when the tree is a little careless, as trees in nature do not have even trunks. I made twigs by twisting flagella. At the log house, she rolled sausages and if it was long, she removed the excess with the help of a stack. Of course, you can simply apply a mass and then squeeze the logs into it.

After the drawing has been laid out, we moisten our fingers in glue and smear our laid out drawing a little bit. Our craft must dry, it takes about a day.
After drying, proceed to coloring. I made the sky dark, of course you can paint everything black, but it will not be as interesting as mixing blue and black. And you don’t need to paint everything in one color, make small stretches from blue to black. To do this, mix all the colors on the palette. Keep in mind that gouache has such a property as lightening when it dries. It is not necessary to use a purchased palette as a palette, here I have a regular piece of white plastic. You can use a white plate or even cut a plastic bottle and put a sheet of white paper under it.

After we proceed to the snow, we still mix the colors on the palette. The snow is not just white in winter, it is some kind of hollow-white, blue-white. In the shadows sometimes already blue.

We paint our birch with white and black, we still mix the colors on the palette. Draw the missing branches.

We paint the house and the fence. If your set of gouache does not have a brown color, you can get it by mixing red and green colors. And if you want a lighter shade, then add white paint. As always, mix all the colors on the palette and not on the work itself.

When everything is finished, we start drawing the stars and the moon.

In order for our work to be completed, we make a frame, I chose to make a frame from threads. If you have other ideas, feel free to use and try.
I smeared PVA glue along the contour of our work and then attached the braided threads to the pigtail.

If the thread falls off, then press it with clothespins, I don’t have such, I used paper clips. And so let the work lie down for about 20 minutes, so that the glue dries a little bit.

Let's start making supplies for work. Glue a piece of fabric to the cardboard on both sides. Let the glue dry. After drying, glue the fabric on cardboard to our work with reverse side. For greater reliability, I glued more pieces of paper on a glued cloth. The glue dries in about half an hour.

Well, the work is ready.

Long winter evenings, quiet family environment, new year holidays- and here we wake up with the desire to create unprecedented beauty with our own hands. And if you also connect to your own imagination that huge mass of ideas that the Internet is simply full of, then you can definitely get hooked on homemade products. Moreover, no unusual materials are needed for this. Just the opposite: on winter crafts everything that is in the house will fit.

Such funny snowmen made of felt, socks and even.

Snow-white winter for many of us is a favorite time of the year, and New Year- one of best holidays. Just imagine: it's cold outside, the roads are covered with snow, everything is covered with huge snowdrifts, and the whole family gathered in a warm cozy house on a day off. And when the kids start fiddling with colored paper and scissors, normal parents will not be able to stay away and will definitely join the needlework, which will please both themselves and the kids. Even more desire to create wakes up with the appearance of a fluffy Christmas tree. That's when the children with mom and dad open a real workshop of Santa Claus, so many toys for the Christmas tree, garlands, snowflakes and decorations for gifts appear from under their hands. This is not only beautiful, but also gives great joy to those who are engaged in homemade products, and to those who see them.

Joint family activities always have a very beneficial effect on the atmosphere in the house. And making crafts on New Year's Eve is a long-standing wonderful tradition in many families. But for all its seeming simplicity, this work is quite painstaking, and it requires a lot of time and effort. But what won't you sacrifice for this fun, meaningful activity? Indeed, from such a pastime, the hearts of all family members unite. And because adults and children are engaged in New Year's crafts, the kids will not only get a lot of joy, but they will also try very hard to make their parents like their work. Therefore, it is important to choose options for crafts in which the child can fully express himself. You also need to properly distribute responsibilities, highlighting the leading role for the baby. And believe me: your efforts will not be in vain.

These delicious decorations can be placed under the Christmas tree or on a festive table. A head is made from a walnut, on which a face is drawn with paint. The sharp end of the nut is the neck. Then you need to attach hair from cotton wool and the same beard. The cap is made from a triangular piece of felt folded into a cone and glued together, a cotton pom-pom is attached to its top, and the cap is glued to the head. After that, a large red apple is carefully polished with a napkin. A drop of glue is dripped onto his tail and the head is glued. If the family has small children who are used to testing everything by tooth, then glue can be replaced with caramel or gelatin. To connect the parts, you can also use a toothpick.

DIY winter crafts

If you took on DIY winter crafts you can make very cute SNOWFLAKES. Moreover, they can also be very different in terms of complexity. For example, simple ones - from a sheet of paper folded into a corner and cut off in the center and along the edges (either with a simple notch or with more complex figures). Snowflakes can be made voluminous if, according to the standard principle, a sheet of paper is folded several times through the center to the corner, and then counter cuts are made in a checkerboard pattern, but not reaching the edge of the opposite side. In such a snowflake, the top may not be cut off, but the opposite side is cut off with a simple straight cut parallel to the oncoming cuts. After unfolding, the resulting corners are gently wrapped in one direction towards the center and glued. Not involved corners are wrapped on the other side of the product. It turns out a beautiful lush snowflake. You can make this invariable winter attribute of beads and beads. The central circles are made from small beads, and the upper circles are made from ordinary beads. Such a snowflake must be woven from the central circle. You need to take a needle with a fishing line, put 5 beads on it, close it into a ring, and then put on 5 more beads each, from which to make loops again. They must be attached to the beads in the central circle, and then gradually increase the number of beads collected, and attach the loops to the already formed petals. For beaded snowflakes, wire is also suitable, which will make the decoration smoother. Such a snowflake will not bend and it will be more convenient to hang it on a Christmas tree. This is also better because with such weaving a needle does not need to be put on the wire.

Wire and yarn can make a wonderful Christmas decor.

This is a salt crystal snowflake. Remember ours.

If you remember, we detail how to make a solution for crystals.

Our inventive mothers, if desired or necessary, can adapt any item for decoration. So New Year's crafts FROM FIGURED PASTA have become very popular. You can dream up with your child and make unusual toys and funny garlands. Even if they are just painted in gold or White color, showered with piece frost, then the tree will sparkle from them, and the baby will be simply delighted. For the little ones, simple toys made according to cardboard templates are suitable. The child will be able to cut out figures from paper, felt or foil on them. You can also adapt unnecessary beads and buttons found at home, different in shape and color. Their child can sew according to his own taste to previously made figures. Then they must be hung on the Christmas tree in the place of honor.

For crafts you will need different shapes pasta, glue and glitter.

Children's winter crafts

For older guys, you can offer more serious kids winter crafts requiring certain skills. So younger students can easily cope with the New Year's crafts - SLIPPERS WITH SANTA FROST. Of course, they can be made "in an adult way" - from thick felt, insoles, padding polyester. But in our case, a simpler one is suitable - a souvenir version of slippers that can be hung, for example, for combs in the hallway. They are made either from thick fabric or cardboard. At the same time, the child circles his foot on the cardboard and cuts out the base. Then he cuts out the top of the slipper from another piece of cardboard, and you can offer him to cut out its shape according to the template you made previously. Before connecting both workpieces, top part decorated under the face of Santa Claus. To do this, you can take a braid of a suitable tone, a dense fabric, colored paper, two white buttons and two black beads, from which eyes are made, multi-colored yarn, a synthetic winterizer for mustaches, beards and hat edges. You can decorate everything with white gouache and sparkles. If your child gives such a souvenir to his beloved grandparents, then their happiness will know no bounds.

And here is another postcard with a snowman.

A funny version of New Year's crafts - Christmas tree decorations FROM EGG SHELL. At the beginning, from a whole egg (fresh), the protein and yolk are gently blown out through the punctures at its ends. Then the most creative stage begins - decorating the shell. The easiest way is to glue the entire surface eggshell small pieces of colored paper. Can be glued from the same colored paper different applications. If you add cotton hair, a mustache, a beard and a paper cap to the drawn mouth, nose and eyes, you can get a cute gnome, clown, Santa Claus or someone else. You can also paste over the egg with sparkles, decorate it with finely chopped “rain”, various ribbons, as well as absolutely everything that comes to your hand. And you can just paint the shell, but not with watercolors and gouache. They do not attach well to the surface of the egg, so oil or acrylic paint. The thread for hanging the toy, pre-threaded through both holes, is fixed at the lower end of the egg, for example, with a thread tassel or a bead.

Sugar snowmen.

Do you still not know how to use plastic bottles?

But for the PARADISE APPLE, everything that is in the kitchen will do. So you can crumple the foil and give it the shape of a small apple. On top of it you need to wrap the finishing layer of the same foil. A peppercorn is glued into the recess at the bottom of the apple, and two holes are pierced in the upper recess, into which the stalk, leaf and fastening thread are inserted. For a handle, you can use a knot, a real ponytail from an apple or a piece of twine, and a leaf can be successfully replaced with a bay leaf, which is better to tint for greater naturalness. Now it remains only to sprinkle the apple with snow. It can be replaced with scraps of paper, small foam balls, or you can use ordinary granulated sugar. In order for the snow not to crumble, the apple should be smeared with glue or clear varnish(for nails) and roll in ahead of time prepared material for snow. Moreover, you do not need to roll the whole apple, but only one of its sides or top. When the apple dries, it will be ready to hang on the Christmas tree.

In order to make a do-it-yourself winter panel for kindergarten you will need to use the hardboard substrate removed from the frame. A white fabric, preferably dense, should be glued onto the substrate, which will become a kind of canvas for the picture.

Do-it-yourself panel formation is carried out from the background in order to gradually build up the motive and ultimately create an original winter panel for kindergarten. From the ribbons prepared in advance, you need to take away the strands and block the background of the sky with them. Thus, it will turn out to manually mix the paints and make a smooth transition.

1. Initially, a background with snowdrifts is laid out, and it is important to pay attention to how thick the cotton wool will be laid out, which will primarily affect the appearance of the canvas.
2. It will not work to lay out a strand of cotton wool with long fibers, and therefore they need to be cut into small pieces, in particular for a fence.
3. Using tweezers, you can pick up wool in neat pieces and form a house out of them, smoke on a chimney, and even some small silhouettes of people in the distance.
4. It is worth remembering that the design of the panel must be done in a certain winter style, which means that snow must be present on every part of the picture.
5. In order for the roof on the house not to merge with the overall picture, it is worth adding dry paint or the most ordinary gouache to the fluff, but only so that the fluff retains its fluffiness.
6. Through colored wool, it is fashionable to decorate doors and windows on the house, which will add originality to it.
7. Use your fingers to twist the wool of a darker look, then lay a tree trunk next to the house and decorate the leaves with green wool.
8. If you apply maximum imagination and creativity, then you can make tediko panels for kindergartens in such an original way that not only the child but also the baby's educators will be surprised. Namely, with the help of tweezers and bright yarn, it is worth laying out various plantings in the form of Christmas trees near the house, and depending on the scale of the canvas, you can add decorations to the Christmas trees to create an interesting New Year's motive. Christmas trees must also be immersed in snow, otherwise you will not get a real winter picture.
9. Naturally, the moon should be present in the winter night sky, bright and beautiful, which can be made by twisting yellow wool.
10. The moon ring is laid out on the background and filled with white wool. And in the foreground in front of the moon you need to plant a snow-covered Christmas tree, which covers the moon a little. It is much better to make a product on a large scale, so that there is where to roam when it is being made.
11. If you start to finely cut the wool over the picture, you can make an artificial snowfall.

After that, the picture, without turning over, is placed under the glass and it is necessary to remove the remnants of wool that can stick out on the sides so as not to spoil the view. Such a landscape will great option in order to give it as a present for the anniversary of the kindergarten, or simply to decorate a panel in a kindergarten with a winter motif.

Idea 5. Snow globe ... more precisely, a bank

Now we offer to make a real souvenir with your own hands - a variation of a snow globe. True, it will be made from an ordinary glass jar. A child will be able to present a craft to a loved one, present it at a winter crafts competition, or simply leave it on a shelf for beauty.

What you need:

• Glass jar with lid;
• A piece of foam;
• Glue (hot or "Moment");
• Acrylic paint to decorate the lid (optional)
• Artificial snow or just sea salt, sugar, grated white soap or polyethylene foam;
• Figurines that will be placed in a jar;
• Styrofoam balls or any white beads;
• Fishing line;
• Needle.

How to do it:

Step 1. Repaint the cover in the desired color and leave to dry. In this project, spray paint was used to remake the lid.

Step 2. While the paint dries, we will make a “snowfall”. To do this, you need to string several foam balls on a fishing line threaded into a needle. To attach the "snowflakes" to the jar, use adhesive tape.

Step 3. Circle the bottom of the jar directly on the foam, then use a knife to cut out the resulting circle from it. This circle will become the base for the figurines.

Step 4. Glue your figures to the foam circle, then glue the resulting composition to the bottom of the jar.

Step 5. Fill the jar with artificial or homemade snow, close it with a lid with snowflakes and enjoy the view of a winter fairy tale.

Idea 6. New Year's card

New Year's cards are never enough, so we suggest making a few with your child.

What you need:

• Sheet of white paper;
• A sheet of colored paper;
• Scissors;
• Glue stick;
• Markers.

How to do it:

Step 1. Fold a sheet of white accordion paper three times so that each top layer of the accordion is smaller in width than the previous one.

Step 2. Straighten your harmonica, cut the sheet diagonally and slightly in waves as shown in the photo above, then reassemble the harmonica. You have a slope of a snow-capped mountain.

Step 3. Now take a sheet of colored paper, glue the blank on it and cut off the excess. Hooray! The postcard is almost ready.

Step 4. Decorate the mountain with Christmas trees, draw snowmen and skiers, and finally sign the card.

By the same principle, but using paper bigger size, you can make winter crafts in kindergarten.
