Applications on the theme "Basket with flowers"

Applications on the theme "Basket with flowers" - one of the most attractive options for decorative arts. A paper craft for children 6 years old can easily be made by hand with minimal help from parents. For those interested in this topic, ideas for making a simple flower basket for babies will also come in handy.

To make the simplest paper basket with flowers applique, you will need:

• one or more flower patterns (depending on the idea);

• set of colored paper;

• set of colored cardboard;

• glue for stationery (which is more convenient);

• scissors of the required size.

The contours of flowers and leaves are drawn using the templates with a pencil. Then these borders are carefully and without haste cut (or rather, cut). Another template will create a drawing of the basket. It will also have to be cut.

Next steps:

• circles are drawn on a stencil;
• cut them out with scissors;
• gluing flower blanks to each other;
• attach the circles exactly in the middle;
• blades of grass are formed from green paper;
• stick all parts on a cardboard base;
• optionally form a butterfly using a template and paint it.

You can act differently if children already have minimal ideas about wildflowers. In this case, the art of appliqué will help to secure them. Here the stages of work are as follows:

• draw a basket on whatman paper;
• use drawings with wildflowers or napkins with their images;
• glue the green stems;
• stick flowers (usually chamomile) on the basket;
• prepare poppies, cornflowers and other flowers (based on the same napkins or stencil);
• fix additional flowers on the surface of the basket;
• complement the composition with butterflies glued to plant stems.

Of course, the possibilities of creating "flower baskets" by the application method are not limited to this. It is useful to consider the option of DIY crafts for children 6 years old and primary school age. Here the emphasis is on the development of the eye and aesthetic taste, fine motor skills and imagination. Snowdrops are taken as a basis. You will need templates for work; flowers are made from white and yellow paper circles.

They start by getting the petals. To do this, fold the circles in two, then again in half. Next, it will remain on the right and left to fold them to the middle, round off a little and cut off the right edge. The last step is to unfold the part. All this is repeated 6 more times.

Then it will remain:

• make the central part of the flowers;
• in the middle of the circle with petals, add a yellow circle with a notched edge and the same white circle;
• fluff the center slightly;
• weave a basket of yellow and green stripes;
• cut it off;
• assemble the parts of the applique together.

There is another way:

• cut off a green wide strip;
• fold the remainder (one section a little more);
• cut a smaller piece;
• make a round blank for the basket and grass;
• glue flowers to the base;
• make the handle of the basket, and put it in place.

For applications, it is quite possible to take junk paper material - it will prove itself no worse. From the very beginning, it is necessary to teach children to see geometric shapes and elements in the images being created, to unambiguously isolate them. For work, you need to choose light, comfortable scissors with blunt edges of the blades. Necessarily - in good condition; Loose tools are dangerous.

For the smallest children, it is better to use starch rather than factory glue. However, from the age of 4, you can already use a glue stick. In addition to paper and cardboard, fabrics and other materials can be used in appliqués. It is very important to strictly observe the geometry and color of the displayed colors.
