Teachers' Day applications
DIY applications for Teacher's Day may be different. However, these are always memorable gifts for the teacher, since they are made by children's hands. About what such crafts are, will be discussed in the article.
Simple paper options
The simplest applications are postcards... They are performed on plain paper, cardboard, album sheets. By the type of execution, these are crafts without volume. As a rule, they consist of individual elements of different sizes and colors.
The degree of difficulty depends on the age of the child and his creative abilities. It can be a simple sheet of paper with fragments of a picture pasted on. Some people like to decorate a craft with a complex mosaic pattern.
Often, postcards are created from downloaded and printed templates. If desired, the child can print fragments of the applique on colored paper. To make a beautiful postcard, he will only have to cut out the details and glue them to the base.
Simple applications include postcards with an unusual shape... For example, it can be an option in the form of a portfolio, a maple leaf, an autumn flower, a pencil. Despite the simplicity of execution, such cards look extraordinary precisely because of the shape.
Some kids decorate the greeting text inside the card with different decorations. For example, it can be confetti from figured hole punches, all kinds of rhinestones. Often, children complement the applications with congratulations written with felt-tip pens of different colors.
The easiest way is to paste a ready-made text into a postcard. So that it does not look trite, the edges of the congratulation can be cut off with scissors with a curly edge. Optionally, you can circle the congratulation with a felt-tip pen after gluing.
As a rule, they try to use unusual paper or cardboard for simple postcards. Most often it is double-sided, decorated with funny drawings that create the right mood.
To create the effect of volume, the card is folded in several places. For example, you can cut a card in the shape of an owl, bend its wings. Inside, under them, you can glue the congratulations themselves.
DIY posters
Children in high school can give the teacher an unusual poster with volumetric applique. The type of gift may be the most unusual. To create a poster, take a Whatman paper.
To make the image interesting, the background is colored. And also an unusual background can be made using the sprinkling technique or stencils. Ordinary autumn leaves can be used as templates.
Next, various elements are glued onto whatman paper. These can be congratulatory inscriptions on the theme of the holiday. Large letters made of colored paper look beautiful on a wall newspaper. However, they can be of different colors.
To make the design more interesting, you can add various volumetric elements. The simplest fragments are lush flowers in vases or bouquets.
It is not difficult to make such flowers. For example, you can cut mugs from napkins by folding them in four. Then it is enough to fasten them in the center with a stapler, glue them on a Whatman paper and slightly crush each layer. To make such flowers look more interesting, you can dip the edges in paint.
Light voluminous flowers can be done differently. For example, cut out blanks of different sizes, then bend in the center and stick one on top of the other. To make them look more interesting, you can supplement them with similar leaves.
Flowers from paper strips look unusual. To do this, they are glued into loops, glued to paper, and then supplemented with centers. The cores can be flat or voluminous.
Asters are easy to create... They are done in different ways. For example, you can cut strips of paper, then roll them into thin tubes. After that, it remains to stick it on the paper and close it in the center with a yellow center. Use knitting yarn as the core.
Several circles of different diameters can be cut. Then cut each one towards the center and twist the resulting strips. To make the flowers lush, you need to cut more circles.
You can make a voluminous decor in another way. To do this, choose a flower pattern, and cut out several identical elements. Then you need to bend them in half, then glue the half to the half. If there is no time, you can not glue in the center, but stitch. Then you need to glue the decor on paper and straighten it.
Congratulations in the form of clouds look beautiful on the wall newspaper... In addition, the congratulatory text can be glued in the form of a book. To do this, it is printed and glued only at the side edges and in the middle. To make this fragment look better, you can glue strips of colored paper on the sides of the "pages".
The original version of the design with your own hands - fragments collected by an accordion. These can be circle flowers of different colors and sizes. The accordion assembly method can be used to make autumn maple leaves. They will decorate any wall newspaper.
It is not difficult to make them in stages. It is enough to circle and cut the blanks, then fold and connect in the center. They are glued to the Whatman paper at the very end of the work, when the rest of the applique elements are already glued to the wall newspaper.
Scrapbooking postcard
To create such postcards, there is special kits... The size of the crafts is small, there is more work with them. They are made of special paper, decorated with various elements (for example, narrow nylon and satin ribbons, metal clips).
Most often, small pencils, letters, paper flowers, wooden and plastic buttons, bells, felt and cardboard elements are used in applications. The type of postcard can be different. Sometimes it is even decorated with small knitted fragments and beads.
The manufacturing principle is the same as for conventional appliques. However, some elements do not adhere to regular office glue. Therefore, a special composition is used in the work. Most often it is a hot melt glue, which becomes liquid when heated.
Crafts from waste materials
Applications from waste materials Are some of the most creative. Their manufacturing principle is similar to conventional flat crafts. The difference lies in the stronger adhesive (as with the scrapbooking technique).
Basic materials are unnecessary discs, plastic bottle caps, old buttons. In addition, plastic spoons, forks, lace napkins and plastic bottles themselves are often used in the work.
Cut spoons produce beautiful petals. To create a panel with bouquets, the blanks are painted. Often, plastic spoons are supplemented with leaves from unnecessary artificial flowers.
Such applique crafts are decorated with different frames.... If the crafts are light, they can be framed with a ceiling plinth. For other crafts, baguettes from unnecessary frames are used.
To make beautiful vases for flowers, the discs are broken or cut. Then the fragments are laid out close to each other in the form of flowerpots. Such crafts look very beautiful and impressive.
A floral net for flower decoration can become a beautiful background for a postcard. If there are pom-poms in the house, they are also suitable for application. They will make excellent floral centers.
You can use a regular newspaper as a decor for a postcard. It looks great against the background of bright plain cardboard. Glue it in the usual way.
Someone creates postcards from ordinary pencil shavings... Despite the fact that it is difficult to work with it, it looks very impressive. Original crafts are obtained by using unnecessary rags.
