Making the application "Grapes"

The application "Grapes" is perfect for different age groups, as it has several versions. It will be interesting for both preschoolers and junior and middle school students. To create a composition, you can use various natural elements and materials, which greatly increases the child's interest in making crafts. Detailed instructions will tell you how to make the application "Grapes" together with your child and will help prevent mistakes.

Variant of the application "Grapes" for preschool children is made of colored paper. The work is simplified as much as possible and does not imply any complex actions. Parents will only need to help cut out individual elements so that the child does not get hurt with scissors, and he must do the rest with his own hands. After all, making such crafts on their own perfectly develops hand motor skills and attention, teaches perseverance, which is very useful in school years.

When making a simple version of the "Grapes" applique, you will need the following tools and materials:

• scissors;
• PVA glue;
• a sheet of white cardboard;
• set of colored paper.

Step-by-step instructions for making the application "Grapes" for preschool children.

• Draw and cut a sprig of grapes from brown colored paper.
• Cut 2-3 grape leaves from green paper.
• Cut a sheet of blue colored paper into several strips 2-5 centimeters wide.
• Bend the resulting strips in half, and draw even circles of different diameters in the upper corner of each of them.
• Fold the strips with an accordion so that the circles are on top.
• Cut out the circles with scissors - these will be grapes.
• On a sheet of white cardboard, first glue a brown grape twig, then the leaves, and finally form a bunch of grapes from circles of blue colored paper.

Volumetric application "Grapes" can be made of two types, the choice will depend on the age of the child and personal preferences. For the first, lighter variety of crafts you will need:

• a set of colored paper;
• green corrugated paper;
• PVA glue - liquid and in the form of a pencil;
• simple pencil;
• scissors;
• ruler.

The order of work.

• Cut the purple colored paper into strips 2-3 centimeters wide, cut them into equal rectangles 5-6 centimeters long. On average, you should get 30-35 rectangles.
• Roll up the rectangles into tubes, connecting their edges with a glue stick.
• Putting the tubes vertically, form a bunch of grapes from them on a sheet of white paper. It is better to attach them to a sheet of paper with liquid PVA glue, and connect them together with glue-stick. It is necessary to form a bunch in rows starting from the top, gradually narrowing them to the bottom. You should not make the rows too even - it is better that they are asymmetrical.
• Cut out grape leaves from green colored paper; for convenience, it is also better to use a template from a magazine or newspaper.
• Cut 2 strips 5-6 centimeters wide from corrugated green paper, twist them into flagella. So that they do not unwind, you need to lightly coat their surface with glue and then twist it again with your palms. As the glue begins to dry, the flagella will become wavy and resemble the tendrils of grapes.
• Glue the flagella to the leaves.
• Leaves can be glued both on top of a bunch of grapes and on it. You can slightly change the order of actions, and first glue the grape leaves to a white sheet of paper, and then fix the purple tubes on them.

To make the second version of the applique, you will need the following materials:

• a sheet of white cardboard;
• purple colored paper of different shades;
• scissors;
• glue stick, PVA;
• green gouache paint;
• grape leaf.

Stages of making crafts.

• Circle a round object, such as a coin, on a piece of purple colored paper, and cut out 30-35 circles along the contour.
• Using scissors, carefully cut to the middle of each circle.
• Apply a layer of PVA glue to the resulting cut edges and connect them, forming a small cone.
• On a sheet of white cardboard with a simple pencil, make a light sketch of a bunch of grapes without leaves.
• With PVA glue, fix the cones inside the contour of the bunch so that they do not go beyond the pencil lines.
• Apply a thick layer of gouache paint on a grape leaf, then make an imprint next to the grape bunch.

Craft from leaves is a voluminous option. To make it, you need real grape leaves, preferably dry ones. A natural element will also be used as berries - acorn caps. In general, to create crafts you will need:

• 2 dry grape leaves;
• 25-30 acorn caps;
• liquid PVA glue;
• purple watercolor or gouache paint;
• sheet of white cardboard.

A craft is made in a few simple steps.

• Glue dry grape leaves in the upper part of a sheet of white cardboard, directing them in different directions.
• Twigs and tendrils can be drawn with felt-tip pens or paints, or made from corrugated green paper.
• Glue the acorn caps onto the cardboard under the grape leaves, forming a bunch.
• Paint the resulting bunch with purple paint.
