DIY gifts for Easter

There are a lot of ideas for Easter gifts, you will get tired of choosing. I would like to hope that our master classes will help you in choosing.

From paper

An Easter basket for the upcoming holiday can be made from ordinary paper bag. Or from beautiful wrapping paper, maybe you still have candy boxes. There are many options. In such an interesting basket, multi-colored Easter eggs or delicious treats will look original.

For work you will need:

1. Paper.
2. Scissors.
3. Ruler.
4. Thermal gun or regular paper glue.
5. Pencil.

If you took a package for work, then you need to cut off the bottom of it. Cut the side. With a ruler and pencil, draw the paper into strips 3 cm wide.

We bend all the strips in half along the entire length.

We start weaving a basket from the stripes, as in the photo.

So that the details do not get confused, we glue the strips on the top of the basket, then cut it all off. Glue the handle and glue the top of the basket.

We will sculpt an interesting chicken stand for Easter eggs, as a gift. There are several recipes for making dough.

Recipe for wheat flour dough:

1. Flour - 2 cups.
2. Salt "Exra" - 1 cup.
3. Cold water - 250 grams.
4. Product storage bag.
5. 1 st. a spoonful of sunflower oil.

Recipe for rye flour products:

1. 3 cups (300 gr.) wheat flour.
2. 1 cup (100 grams) rye flour
3. 2 cups (400 gr.) fine salt.
4. 250 ml of water.

Rye flour gives the figurines a warm bread color. To prepare any dough, mix flour and salt, then gradually pour in cold water and mix again. The degree of readiness of the dough can be determined as follows: if the dough stretches and sticks to your hands, it means that there is a lot of water in it. Therefore, you need to add more flour.

For work you will need:

1. Salty dough.
2. Stack.
3. Peeler.
4. Toothpick.
5. Nail file.
6. Peas of black pepper.
7. Paints, brush.
8. The varnish is transparent.
9. Garlic press.

Roll out the cake with a thickness of 0.5-0.7 cm, this will be the chicken nest itself. We make the side parts of the nest with the help of a garlic press. We make "straws", wetting with water.

We leave the work for 1 day to dry so that the dough keeps its shape well in the future. Let's start making chicken. We sculpt the workpiece of the body. We need a chicken as an egg stand, which means we need to make a recess for the Easter egg. We take round shape, make a notch, sculpt the breast and neck of the chicken. With a vegetable peeler we make plumage on the breast.

We insert a toothpick into the neck of the chicken, leave 1.5 cm. Connect the nest and the body of the chicken. We roll out the dough, make blanks of wings 1 cm thick. We draw plumage with a vegetable peeler, attach it to the body of the chicken, wetting it with water.

Next, our task is to make the chicken a beautiful tail. We take an oval cake 0.7-1 cm thick as a basis. We make plumage with a vegetable cutter. We cut off the edges of the tail with a knife to resemble a feather pattern. We make the cuts neat, smoothing them with your fingers. Attach the tail to the body of the chicken. Put something under the tail, such as a ball or an apple. After the product dries, we remove the apple.

roll up round bead for the head. We decorate the scallop, with fingers and a stack, giving it the desired look.

To make eyes, you need to outline their place. We make dents for the eyes with a stack. Next, we make dents with a vegetable peeler so that the eye becomes curly.

We insert a pea of ​​pepper instead of a pupil. We make a beak and sculpt to the head.

We fasten the head and torso by putting the head on a toothpick. We fasten a small strip of dough for the stability of the head. Decorate the neck of the chicken with dough feathers. You can make chicken "earrings" from pieces of dough.

Similarly, we sculpt chickens. Do not forget to wet the parts so that the fastening is better.

We leave the product to dry for 1-2 days, putting them in a distant place, you can even on a closet. In a day or two, when the chickens and chicken harden, we finalize the work: we plant the figures on the leaves, moistening the middle with water. Leave in the air for 1-2 days. We dry the products first in the air, and then put them in the oven with a temperature of 50 degrees for 1 hour. After drying, paint with paints and cover with a colorless varnish.

Another option: dough figures: sculpt easter bunnies, chickens, chickens. You can make fridge magnets out of them, or you can make pendants for willow branches.

The fastest gift option is multi-colored paper napkins and ribbons. We twist the boiled egg into a napkin and tie it with a ribbon. Can be replaced with corrugated paper.

On this day, the tables are always full of various goodies - these are both, and, and soft buns that melt in your mouth, sunny cheesecakes, and much more.

This holiday also becomes memorable because many people want to do it and make some kind of festive craft with their own hands. And having entered the taste, even a few. These are egg baskets, and the eggs themselves, various coasters, cute figurines of chickens and Easter bunnies. Also postcards.

Kids love to make different gizmos from paper and various materials at hand. If at the same time they are helped by their mother, grandmother, or older sister, or maybe even dad, or older brother, then they can do this for hours.

Crafts are now being made in kindergartens and schools. And if in the garden, the kids take their first steps under the guidance of a teacher, then schools even give homework to create something for the holiday with their own hands. And then mothers begin to look for something interesting and original to do.

In today's article, we will look at various ways making various cute gizmos that can be done quickly and easily. Just a little perseverance, and your hands will make a cute craft that you can give to your family and friends, as well as congratulate teachers and educators with its help.

It will take no more than 5 minutes to make such a simple and at the same time necessary and beautiful egg basket. It will be executed in the origami style loved by many.

Any student can cope with this task. It just takes a little effort and perseverance. But what a chic gift for the holiday.

We will need:

• a sheet of double-sided colored paper
• stripe in contrasting color
• scissors

Manufacturing:

1. From a rectangular sheet of paper, we need to cut out a square. To do this, fold the sheet obliquely, connecting the two edges. It looks like two triangles stacked together.

2. Cut off the excess piece of paper.

3. Expand the square. Now we will need to tuck all the corners to the center. There is no need to hurry, all newly obtained triangles should turn out to be the same size and connect exactly at the central point.

Each internal figure folded into a triangle, but as a whole it turned out double square. We turn it over to the other side, that is, with the curved ends down.

4. The next step is to bend the edges up again, connecting them in the center.

You should get triangles, but with a cut in the middle.

5. Form the bottom paper basket. To do this, bend each corner to the opposite edge. Iron the fold line very well.

It should look like this figure.

6. Turn the workpiece over again.

Roll each of the 4 squares into a triangle.

7. Now let's give the workpiece the appearance of a basket. To do this, lift each corner up and bend it to get a three-dimensional shape. Then slightly lift the edges to make a box inside.

Iron the inner seam along the perimeter of the square with your finger to more clearly indicate the shape.

8. Now we need to make a handle. To do this, take the prepared strip of contrast paper, and cut off a strip 1 cm thick. To make the handle stand out, it can be carved. To do this, the strip will need to be cut not with ordinary scissors, but with curly ones.

9. Lubricate one side with glue, and stick it on the rest of the red paper from one of the long edges. Cut off a long strip with a total thickness of about 1.5 - 2 cm.

10. Inside the basket, or rather on its wall, there is a slot where you can insert the handles from the basket. And to create a stronger fastening, it is better to grease the edges with glue.

This will make it easier and stronger to hold on to. After all, we will put an egg in a basket.

11. The basket can be further decorated. To do this, cut out small oval circles and paint them like eggs are painted. Stick on the bases of the handles and on the sides.

Like this beautiful craft turned out as a result. You can put a painted egg in it, or something else, such as sweets or cookies.

Paper quilling Easter egg for school competition (master class)

And such a chic egg can be made using the quilling technique. With its bright and colorful appearance, it will surely attract the attention of a strict jury, and they will linger near it for a long time, admiring its beauty. And maybe the first place will be awarded for this work.

This work requires accuracy, attention and a desire to achieve results. And then everything will surely work out.

We will need:

• quilling paper
• PVA glue
• brush for glue
• scissors
• pen rod

Manufacturing:

1. First we need to stock up on an egg. It can be a product made of plastic or other material. But if this is not the case, then you can use just a hard-boiled egg for the form.

It is necessary to stick a thin strip of paper on it in the center, wrapping it around the egg twice. Glue the edges with glue.

In order for the glue to better hold the elements together, pour a small part of it into a mold, or just onto a piece of cardboard. It will thicken slightly and will stick faster and better.

2. Also prepare paper. Ready-made quilling kits for sale. Today we have prepared a set of 3 mm thick. This size will be ideal for a small egg, and the craft will look neater.

If the set was not found, then you can buy a double-sided colored paper for the printer and cut it thin ribbons the desired width and the same length.

3. To begin with, it is necessary to twist the blanks from strips of paper. To do this, take one of the strips and grease one edge with glue, then carefully wind it onto the rod. At the same time, try to ensure that the loops do not fall off, and are located strictly one over one. The more accurate the blanks are, the more accurate the final result will be.

For one blank, wind one strip of paper.

4. Then remove the curl, put it on the table, and let it unwind a little so that it looks more beautiful. Also, then it will be easier to make leaves and petals from such a blank.

Lay each subsequent blank on the table next to the previous one and allow it to unwind to an equal size with it. When this happens, fix it with glue, smearing it from the edge.

Consider pattern and color. That is, how and in what color scheme you will get a craft.

5. We begin to make out the egg from the center, namely from the base that we have already glued earlier. You can glue the blanks in the form in which we prepared them. And you can give them the shape of a leaf. To do this, take the workpiece from both sides, stretch it to the sides and lightly press the edges to make a corner. You get this figure.

We glue the first one on the green strip of the base, then glue the place next to it and the side of the first blank with glue, glue the second one next to it, then the third, and so on in a circle to the very end.

Let the first row dry thoroughly. for drying, it is better to put the egg on a stand. For this, a cap from any plastic bottle is suitable.

6. Then go to the second row. And while the first one dries, we begin to twist the blanks for it. Choose another contrasting color for this. And also give them the shape of a petal. To do this, squeeze the edge of the circle on one side only.

7. Arrange the second layer not in a row, but through one green leaf. Glue to the side of the leaves. Align so that the shape of the egg is preserved. And let it dry completely again.

8. In the meantime, our beauty dries up to twist blanks of a different color. And ask them again the shape of the leaves, pressing from two edges. Then fill in the empty gaps between the rose petals.

Then twist more circles and stick them next next. Allow each row to dry. And you can also fix them with rubber bands.

9. For the top, take a different color, and twisting the rounds, fill them with an empty surface.

Let the glue dry completely. Then carefully remove the half of the craft from the egg.

10. But first you need to draw the tops of the lower half on the egg with a felt-tip pen. So that we do not make a mistake with the joining of parts at the last stage.

While the first half was drying for the second, we also prepared leaves, petals and circles. And by analogy with the first part, we repeat the same thing. You can use the same colors, or you can make them different and in a different order.

11. After drying, remove this half and glue both parts.

12. Then we make a stand and install our beauty on it.

But really, look what a beautiful egg turned out! "Live" it looks even more attractive.

Do not be afraid that you will not be able to repeat the result. The most important thing is to have patience. If it didn’t work the first time, then go back to the stage where the error occurred. Fix it and everything will go like clockwork.

And there is one more piece of advice. If you are doing a quilling craft for the first time, then wrap the egg with cling film. And when you make the first part and fix it with glue, the film can be removed. The same can be done with the second part.

Thus, fixing parts will be easier.

All the best!

Easter holiday - all Christians are waiting for this day with special trepidation. The brightest and purest Easter holiday is celebrated on the same day by both Catholics and Orthodox. Traditionally, various kinds of Easter souvenirs will appear in stores, but why not try to make them yourself? After all, do-it-yourself Easter crafts are not much inferior to store counterparts.

There are many wonderful Easter ideas, many of which can be made by the whole family, including even small children in needlework. Do-it-yourself crafts for Easter can be accompanied by stories about the history of this holiday.

The symbolism of the holiday is very important. Traditionally, its symbols are what one way or another means the renewal of life - these are Easter streams, Light is the Easter fire and Life itself (cakes, eggs and rabbits).

Easter eggs are the most common holiday symbol that marks the victory of life over death. Traditionally, they should be red, but today eggs are decorated in every way. But red is still important. Indeed, according to legend. when Mary Magdalene came to the ruler Tiberius to inform about the miraculous resurrection of Christ and brought him an egg as a gift, he said: “It is impossible, just as it is impossible that the egg will turn red.” And the egg turned red in the hands of Tiberius! Since then, red means the victory of life over death, renewal.

For more than a century, there has been such a tradition: to send beautiful gifts to relatives and friends. Easter cards. They depict not only symbols of the holiday, but also all the beauty of spring flowering. As well as cute chickens, rabbits, flowers, Easter cakes.

There are a lot of options for decorating an Easter egg. They depend on what materials to use: paper, embroidery, just threads or beads. But first you need to make its preparation.

Easter egg preparation

As a blank in the form of an egg can be:

• wooden blank
• foam blank
• natural material preparation
• non-standard blanks

Wooden blank for eggs

Perhaps the most convenient will be a foam blank. And all because it perfectly holds its shape, while not being too hard. You can easily stick pins into it, etc.

Styrofoam egg blank

But doing Easter crafts with your own hands is also good because even a blank can be made from improvised materials!

In the most ordinary raw egg, we have to make two small holes: on top - no more than 2 mm, and on the bottom - about 5 mm in diameter. For this purpose, we need an awl or a fairly thick needle. After these procedures, the protein and yolk will easily pour out from below. You just have to wash the shell and dry it.

A plastic egg from a well-known children's chocolate treat can also be used as a blank - it is quite possible to braid it with beads or tie it.

Easter eggs from beads

Beaded eggs are distinguished by their grace and always attract attention. This is quite painstaking, delicate work, but the result is always impressive. We need to weave a special pattern, and then carefully transfer it to the egg, on which we will first apply the thermal sticker. But if you have not been beading before, it will be difficult, although such a detailed master class as will be a great help in the first creative experience of this kind.

Easter eggs with embroidery

Why not break away from the voluminous egg standard by making a flat embroidered pendant? It looks very cool, original, and not to say that some kind of work is difficult to do. V detailed master class describes how to embroider and assemble such an unusual egg. The difficulty, perhaps, will be only in the fact that the embroidery itself will take some time. But the result is worth it!

You can still stay with the traditional idea of ​​​​a voluminous egg, and in this case, "Cross" recommends paying attention to the creation master class. Only instead Christmas ball we will use an egg-shaped blank. Rest assured, the souvenir will be very delicate, everyone will want to take a closer look at it, or even become the owner of such beauty.

Easter eggs made of felt and fleece

If you do so unusual gift for Easter with your own hands, be sure it will be appreciated. It can even act as a talisman, because souvenirs made from these materials always look bright and unusual.

And, by the way, you can definitely involve children in the preparation of this souvenir. The main requirement is accuracy, but there will be no difficulty in the process of making such an egg, everything is extremely simple. However, evaluate for yourself by watching the master class "Easter eggs made of felt - a wonderful souvenir on a bright day!"

Felt egg garland

One has only to stock up on these incredibly advantageous materials in needlework, and then the work will go like clockwork.

Knitted Easter eggs

Even if you know little about knitting, you can also make beautiful knitted Easter eggs. It is enough to pick up a hook, bright yarn and master the reception of a single crochet.

Of course, there are more difficult options. More experienced knitters will probably want to already tied in a simple way egg attach bright flower with a beautiful button in the core. But on its creation you will already have to try, although this is not so difficult to do.

Easter eggs look very cool, "dressed" in an openwork cobweb. This is a gentle, delicate, and not at all difficult work. The master class with the beautiful name "Lace Splendor" describes in detail all the moments of making this handmade souvenir.

It is also a very interesting version of a souvenir - such a hand-made gift for Easter will appeal to many. In order to make it, we need:

• foam blank
• silk or cotton white threads
• PVA glue
• pins
• polyethylene film
• decor details

First, we close the foam blank with polyethylene. This is necessary so that our threads do not stick to the foam and subsequently come off easily. Then we need to very carefully stick the needles into the blank. One row will be along the edge of the future window, and the second row will go along the oval of the Easter egg.

There will no longer be a window in the second half, so we will make a number of needles exclusively along the oval of the egg.

The halves are made separately from each other!

We moisten the threads in PVA glue, and wrap our workpiece with them. It is better to wrap not randomly, but following the “zigzag” pattern through the pins of the outer and inner rows.

When the wrapping is completed, the threads can be covered with glue a second time. Next, wait for the workpiece to dry thoroughly. As soon as this happens, we very, very carefully take out the pins, and then remove the half from the workpiece.

We do the second half in a similar way. Now you need to connect them to each other. You can tie them with a satin ribbon or fix them with a hot gun.

It's great if you plant a fluffy miniature chicken or rabbit inside such a delicate Easter egg. The egg can be tied with a thin ribbon, decorated with a bow on top for beauty. It turned out to be a very beautiful craft: many will be surprised that you did it yourself!

1. We need to prepare 99 green and 112 pink triangular pieces.
2. In the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rows there will be 8 green modules each. They are easily placed on top of each other.
3. In the 4th row there will be 16 pink modules, which you need to wear with one pocket.
4. We make the 5th row according to the principle: 2 green modules - 2 pink modules - 2 green, etc.
5. 6th row: the same principle, but the pattern itself needs to be slightly shifted to the side.
6. Next, we try to give the egg the shape of a bowl and continue to lay out the same pattern, not forgetting to move it to the side.
7. You need to make 8 rows with a pattern.
8. The next row will be of 16 pink modules.
9. The work will be completed next to the green modules, which will be mounted on three corners.

• egg preparation
• pins
• paper pins

And then you can carefully remove the workpiece. This is necessary in order for the egg to turn out hollow and openwork.

If you chose the second option, then the manufacturing principle will be the same as making an Easter egg from threads. That is, we go the following way:

1. We close the egg with polyethylene, and then, starting from the very top of the workpiece, we glue the quilling elements. Each element should not only be attached to the previous one, but also secured with two or three pins.
2. This is how the upper half of the egg will be done, after which you need to cover it with varnish, leave to dry.
3. Now you can do the second blank (lower half), and after drying, glue both parts.

The quilling elements are twisted the way we need it. It is better to practice in advance so as not to waste time in the process of making an Easter egg. In order not to get lost, it is better to follow this video master class:
