Teachers Day Crafts

On Teacher's Day, it is customary to give flowers or sweets to your favorite mentors. But children can additionally surprise their teacher with simple hand-made crafts.

A large number of cute gifts can be made from plain colored paper or cardboard.

Traditionally, the owl is considered a symbol of wisdom. Therefore, it is quite possible for the teacher to present a postcard made in the form of this bird. It is done as follows.

• First you need to cut a blank from thick cardboard. If you wish, you can additionally decorate it with scrap paper. To decorate the wings, you should use a material of a different color.

• From a sheet of paper or cardboard with curly scissors, you need to cut off a red or orange part.

• It must be glued to the inside of the template.

• The body of an owl must be cut out of the same material. This part is also glued to the workpiece.

• The finished craft must be decorated with big eyes and a beautiful beak.

When creating a three-dimensional postcard, colored paper and special blanks for quilling are used. A master class on assembling crafts consists of the following stages.

• Neat maple leaves should be cut out of paper. Thin stems are attached to each of them.
• After that, the blanks are fixed on a cardboard base.
• Then neat petals are twisted from thin quilling paper. The edges of the paper are glued to the base. The opposite ends of each petal are sharpened neatly.
• Green sheets are made according to the same principle.
• The foliage and flowers are then attached to the base of the card. A tightly twisted ring is placed in the center of each bud.

Products made from natural materials are also suitable for congratulating your teacher.

One of the easiest options is a cute photo frame. Any cereals, seeds or even coffee beans are suitable for decorating it. As a basis for this souvenir, you can use thick cardboard or even a wooden blank.

First you need to outline all the necessary lines. First of all, you need to allocate a place for the photo. Then the remaining space must be divided into small rectangles or squares.

Each of the individual parts is smeared with glue. A small amount of cereal is poured on top, or grains are spread. This is done with each rectangle. In this form, the craft must be left overnight. During this time, it will dry out.

An original gift for the teacher - a voluminous wreath of dry cones. It is not done very quickly, but the result is worth it.

• To begin with, all the buds must be dried. After that, they need to be painted. For this, you can use acrylic or regular gouache. Cones can be made both the same and multi-colored.
• From thick cardboard you need to make a round blank with a hole cut in the middle.
• Cones are attached to this base. You need to glue them in rows. They should fit snugly against each other.

The volumetric craft turns out to be unusual.

Even a preschooler can easily make such a gift arrangement. It is worth collecting leaves for crafts in advance. This can be done in any park. They work with foliage according to the following scheme.

• First you need to prepare some beautiful buds. They are all done according to the same principle. The sheet is folded in half. Then the back of the sheet is folded back 1 centimeter.
• After that, the bud is rolled up. The second sheet is folded in the same way. It is applied to a small bud with an overlap.
• Next, you need to pick up a greenish leaf. It is used in the same way as the previous ones. The finished flower turns out to be lush and beautiful.
• Its lower edge, together with the legs, must be wrapped with masking tape. The rest of the buds are made according to the same principle.
• All individual details are collected in one composition. The finished bouquet is decorated with the remains of foliage on all sides. They are also secured with tape.

Such a present will be an excellent decoration for a teacher's desk. It is done very simply.

• As a basis for this craft, a ball of the correct shape is used. It can be made of foam or papier-mâché.
• Coffee beans are attached to such a workpiece with a glue gun. At the bottom, you need to leave a small place for attaching the stick.
• When the workpiece dries out, a stem is attached to its bottom. The place of its attachment is also decorated with coffee beans.
• Next, you need to prepare the pot. A plaster base is poured into the container. After that, the stem is placed in the center along with the coffee flower. Grains are carefully laid out on top. In this form, the pot is left overnight.

You can also please the teacher with unusually decorated tasty presents.

Round candies are suitable for creating this unusual gift. They make a good base for simple flower buds.

• To begin with, you need to cut out squares of a suitable size from golden paper.
• These details need to wrap sweets.
• Next, you also need to cut small squares out of pink corrugated paper.
• Putting the two pieces together, the edges of each square must be carefully rounded.
• Next, the candy in a golden wrapper must be placed inside the petals.
• Having wrapped the candy in corrugated paper, the edges must be secured with golden thread. Further, the edges of the petals need to be straightened. As a result, you will get a beautiful half-open bud.
• A small square should also be cut out of green corrugated paper. Its upper edge must be cut so that there are five teeth on it.
• This detail is also wrapped in a roll around the flower.
• You need to fix it with glue and thin wire.
• The bud is attached to the wire. After that, the workpiece is wrapped in a green ribbon.

You can pleasantly surprise your beloved teacher with an appetizing fruit bouquet. Such a composition is done very simply.

The apples are attached to long, pointed skewers. Then the individual "flowers" must be connected to each other. To do this, you can use regular transparent tape. Further, the base is surrounded by other apple buds. When a large composition is assembled, it can be supplemented with small roses and fresh herbs.

Many beautiful presentations can also be made from this elastic material.

Teachers are often given fresh flowers in pots for the holiday. You can make such a long-lasting gift by making flowers from foamiran.

• To begin with, you need to cut the required number of petals from the selected material.
• Each such detail must be gently warmed up in the palms of your hands. Then they need to be stretched slightly to the sides. This will help shape the shape of a real petal.
• Using a glue gun, the core is attached to the main petal. For this, you can use beads or beads.
• The rest of the petals are collected around this core.
• The bud is attached to a toothpick or long wooden skewer.
• Then you need to find a suitable pot. It needs to be filled in with crumpled paper.
• Next, the green corrugated paper is cut into thin strips. It is laid on top of crumpled paper.
• Foamiran flowers on skewers are placed in the container. Place them next to each other.

Another simple present that you can make with your own hands is an autumn tree. It is done as follows.

• To begin with, sheets of a suitable size are cut out of foamiran. They can be done according to a template prepared in advance.
• Small streaks can be drawn on the surface of the sheets with wax crayons.
• Twigs of different lengths must be formed from the wire.
• Each such detail must be wrapped with floral tape.
• Individual branches must be connected together in the form of a branch.
• Next, you need to attach a bright piece of paper to the edge of each wire base.

There are other ideas for various crafts that you can present to your caregiver.

You can give an art teacher not only a beautiful, but also a useful present. This requires a simple glass vase, a set of pencils, flowers, and a floral sponge. The latter can be easily found in almost any gardening store.

The sponge must be carefully cut to the size of the container and soaked in water. Next, pencils must be attached to the vase using a glue gun. They should be close to each other.

Then you can start decorating the vase with flowers. First, stick the largest flowers into the sponge. Smaller buds are located next to them. The finished bouquet should be decorated with small flowers, leaves and twigs. For autumn crafts, details in red, orange and yellow colors are suitable.

To create this interesting bouquet, ordinary pencils are already used. But they can be easily replaced with ordinary pens, markers or felt-tip pens. A vase or container is used as a flower pot. This container can be filled with regular foam rubber.

Then you need to cut out small daisies from cardboard. A small hole must be cut in the center of each flower. It should be slightly less than the diameter of the pencil.

All these flowers must be placed in a prepared pot. Next, the foam rubber needs to be decorated with shavings cut from thin or corrugated paper.

A beautiful postcard for Teacher's Day can be easily made from plasticine and a dense cardboard base. To begin with, you need to mold blanks of autumn leaves from yellow, red or orange plasticine. The same material is used for sculpting letters.

A thin frame must be fashioned from unnecessary plasticine. Multi-colored beads are attached to it. They are placed as close to each other as possible.

The base of the postcard is filled with colored sheets. In the lower part there is a voluminous plasticine book.

Another simple children's craft is a vase made from an empty bottle and string. It is very easy to make it. The bottle must be washed and dried. After that, it must be wrapped with twine. The material is attached to the base with glue.

When the craft is dry, you can decorate it in any way. For decoration, you can use metal jewelry, rhinestones or bows. Even drawings created with shiny acrylic paint will look beautiful on such a basis. The finished vase can be used for its intended purpose.
