Older Person's Day Applications

Giving gifts is sometimes even more enjoyable than receiving. Especially in cases where the present is intended for a loved one. And if it is made with your own hands, pleasant emotions are doubled. Without much difficulty, you can do it yourself. It is made of various materials and decorated depending on the theme of the event. For the Day of the Elderly, you can draw beautiful portraits or make postcards with congratulations and poems.

Bouquets are different in terms of the complexity of making. For example, there are very complex compositions, the creation of which requires certain skills and knowledge from a person. And there are bouquets that even young children can handle. Such a gift can be a card with flowers from hearts.

To create it you will need:

• scissors;
• a template for making hearts, the flower itself and foliage;
• pencils, paints or markers;
• glue;
• cardboard of different colors;
• several small photographs of the person for whom the intended gift is intended.

The creation process consists of several stages. The first step is to cut the hearts out of colored paper. They should be made of plain paper of the same color. It will take about a couple of dozen hearts. Then they should be glued together in the shape of a flower. This will work if you glue them onto the base (cardboard) with an overlap in a circle. Such a hand-made craft will constantly remind you of the touching feelings of the one who gave it.

As a result, you should get several identical flowers. And in the middle there should be photos of the recipient.

The stalk is completed with a green pencil (or paints, felt-tip pen).One should also not forget about the petals. They also need to be attached.

In addition to a postcard, you can make a craft in the shape of a grandfather and grandmother. In this case, the figures of people are made from cones. Making such a toy does not require much time, but it will delight the recipient for a long time.

For this you will need:

• paper of different colors;
• a tool for making holes (hole punch);
• pencils, paints or markers;
• glue, scissors;
• blanks for body parts made of cardboard;
• templates to be used for making cones;
• threads required for knitting (white or beige);
• cotton wool.

The creation process begins with the manufacture of a template for obtaining cones.... Then, using an awl, holes should be made for the hands through which the threads are threaded.

After that, two more threads are knitted to the threaded threads of the future dolls. As a result, they get fasteners for arms and legs.

The next stage is that the existing blanks of arms and legs are glued to the corresponding threads. The "heads" are naturally attached with glue to the tops of the cones. If this is a doll - "grandmother", then do not forget to make hair. This is what cotton wool is for. But the doll depicting "grandfather" should be glued with mustaches, sideburns and eyebrows from the same material. For the colorfulness of the craft, you can supplement the cone with various decorations in the form of buttons, leaves, beads or other elements.

You can also make a craft in the shape of a grandfather or grandmother from vegetables. This creative idea will appeal to all family members. To do this, you will need the following materials:

• potato;
• peppercorns;
• cherry tomato;
• zucchini;
• corn;
• matches.

The manufacturing process is pretty straightforward. First, choose a large potato (preferably pink). Then make holes for the eyes and insert peppercorns or rowan fruits into them. The nose is made of a match with fruits of the same mountain ash (or peas) strung on it. But the tomato is used as a mouth.

For hair, you need corn or regular thread. The headdress is made from a cut of a vegetable marrow or even a pumpkin. Well, we make our hands from ordinary matches.

The application for the Day of the Elderly, made by from old computer disks. In this case, we are talking about a panel, for the manufacture of which you will need several discs and multi-colored plasticine.

A composition is made of plasticine, for example, in the form of green grass, flowers, birds and butterflies. Then it is attached to the CD for the rigidity of the base.
