Craft "Winter's Tale" - master class and photo

Seasonal contests are often held in the children's institution. Winter crafts on a fabulous theme are now relevant. See how to craft one of these.

Take:

large box;
plaster mix;
ceiling tiles;
water-based paint and gouache;
artificial snow;
PVA glue;
baking soda;
wooden skewers;
foam green sponge;
LED bulbs;
spruce cone;
broom;
foil;
electric garland;
batteries;
wires.

Take several pieces of wire, twist a birch trunk out of them first, then make branches from other scraps. When you create the trunk, make several branches immediately below, which will become the roots.

Combine PVA glue with white acrylic paint and cover the tree with this compound. Now take black gouache and cover the birch with it in some places. Then you will apply a characteristic pattern.

Very soon you will have a winter-themed craft. In much the same way, you need to create a snowy tree. Its branches will be white and the trunk will be dark.

Twist the spruce out of the wire. It will turn out to be realistic. To do this, cover it with a little black and brown gouache. To make needles for this tree, cut a green sponge and stick it on the branches. It's very interesting to make a house. It is created from ceiling tiles.

Now look at how the terrain is done. Take water, plaster mix. Mix. Using these materials, fix the trees, then the house glued from the ceiling tiles, also a fence with a gate. Cover the rest of the territory with this mass so that it looks like it is snow and a path.

Mix baking soda and glue and cover the surface of the snow with this material to make it appear even whiter. You will make a lake out of foil, and a reed from twigs from a broom. Form the lanterns from cocktail tubes. But in them you need to stretch the wires, fix the LED bulbs at the top. Make a bridge from the skewers, dress up the Christmas tree. Such a wonderful craft will turn out, and if you also transform it with the help of illumination, then the winter fairy tale will be a success.

If you look closely at the cotton swabs, then you will understand that these are ready-made logs for the next winter craft. It is very interesting to craft from such material, especially since it is inexpensive and very affordable.

DIY winter crafts from cotton swabs and cotton wool

Take:

cotton buds;
glue;
cotton wool;
sheet of cardboard.

Master Class:

Glue a few pieces of fluffed cotton wool onto a piece of cardboard. It will turn to snow.
Cut a few cotton swabs so that only fluffy tips and straws remain. Place them at an angle to each other, you can thus make a beautiful fluffy Christmas tree.
Take a piece of cotton wool, roll it into a ball. Make two more smaller balls in the same way. Glue these blanks by placing them on top of each other. This will make a wonderful snowman. You can cut and glue a nose and eyes out of colored paper for him, as well as make a bucket that you put on his head.
To make a house, first create a log house. To do this, put the cotton swabs perpendicular to each other in a checkerboard pattern. They will repeat the log structure.
To make a roof, cut a rectangle of paper out of cardboard, fold it in half and unfold it. Now stick the cotton swabs on the front side. Bend a little again and create such a roof glued to the frame.

From cotton wool you will get another craft on the theme of "Winter's Tale". You will make this snowman from this material. Fluffy drifts are also made from cotton wool. Fluff it slightly before sticking on a sheet of cardboard.

If you need a winter garden craft, then the next option will probably suit you. After all, even a small child can create it.

You will need:

cotton buds;
napkins;
glue;
a sheet of cardboard;
paints;
colored paper;
scissors.

The child will be happy to draw a background on a piece of cardboard, help him with this. Then he will take a cotton pad, tear it into pieces and glue these snowflakes on top of his work. And the baby will make a snow-covered path from pieces of napkin. You need to create a roof from the same material. Cut the napkin into strips and show your child how to glue.

Logs are located below the roof. Create them with cotton swabs. These blanks must be placed horizontally and glued to a sheet of cardboard. Let the child attach the window here with glue. He will create a snowman from cotton pads. Two pieces are enough. On the lower one he will draw red buttons, and on the upper one - the facial features of a snowman. From colored paper or from a rectangle of fabric, the baby will cut a bucket and glue it on the snowman's head. Small balls of cotton will make the arms and legs of this character.

Here is another piece of work on the theme of "Winter's Tale".

Crafts on the theme of the Winter's Tale

It is similar to the previous one in terms of theme, but fewer cotton swabs were used for the house. Four upstairs are enough to make a gable roof frame. The same number of sticks will create the top wall as well as the floor. 3 parts each on the right and on the left will help to make the restraints for the house.
To make a whisk for a snowman, you need to glue a piece of a cotton pad on the tip of a cotton swab, cutting off a fragment from it and cutting it into strips from above. Three cotton circles will be the base of the snowman. The head needs a small disc, so cut off the excess around the edges.
Have your child cut the cotton pads into halves and glue them as snow drifts. And a semicircle made of this material will become a month. Stars can be made from yellow paper. The child will stick them on the sky.

Wonderful crafts are made from cotton swabs. Check out what another fluffy house you can make with them. The blockhouse is assembled as in the example above. If you want to make a window, then you need to cut the sticks, wrap cotton wool around the free ends and create a wall around it using these elements. Make a roof with cotton swabs as well. Cover it with cotton wool on top to cover the plastic sticks. Only the fluffy tips from one end of the roof and the other will be visible. Cut a few snowflakes out of foil and decorate the top of the house with them. And also make a snowman out of cotton wool, like the area around the building.

Craft "Winter's Tale" will be complete if you make a snowflake. After all, this is an attribute of this time of the year and the New Year's holiday. First you need to cut the snowflake out of the cardboard, then glue the cotton swab scraps so that only their fluffy ends with a small amount of plastic pieces remain. Glue them to the base, make a hole in the snowflake on top, thread a small ribbon here so that you can hang this product.

How to make bullfinches - MK and step by step photos

Take:

cotton wool;
white PVA glue from a hardware store;
capacity;
gouache or watercolor;
water;
beads;
napkins;
threads;
Styrofoam;
glue Titanium or similar;
thin wire.

Pour two parts of glue and one part of water into a container, stir. Tear off a piece of cotton wool, form the head and body of the future bird out of it. Then quickly dip this blank into the diluted glue so that it only gets wet on top. It is important. Now smooth the cotton wool, pull it from the sides and wrap it inward. Tighten the area that will separate the body and ponytail with thread.

Dip the brush in the glue solution and lubricate the bird, but do not wet it too much. Trim the ponytail to make it smoother. If you need to coat something else with glue, do it. Hang the bullfinch to dry this piece. Do not place it on the surface, otherwise the breast will adhere, it should be round.

After this part is dry to make your winter craft further, see where you need to add water. Glue these places. Go over this patch with a brush and glue. If the back is uneven, add cotton wool here and glue. This is the workpiece that should be the result. Do not forget to coat the outside with an adhesive solution, but in a small amount.

If you need several birds for winter crafts, be sure to create a chick with wings spread. To make them, take two pieces of wire, stick them into the back, then form the wings and stick the opposite ends of the wires back into the back and hide them here. Now cover the wings with thin pieces of cotton wool, soaking it in a water solution of glue. Make the first wing first, then the second.

Put some cotton wool on the back, glue it here, also apply a little of this solution on top and spread with a brush. Hang this bird up to dry with a rope. In this way, form some birds.

When these bullfinches are dry, start painting them. Make the breast red, the tips of the wings and the head black, and the back gray.

Dry the birds, then take a white acrylic paint, paint it on the beak and under the tail. Look where the eyes will be, here you will need to glue the beads. You can attach white and then paint the pupils black.

Create some of these birds. Among the bullfinches, there may also be a pair of tits. Paint them with yellow, white, black and blue paint. You will glue these birds to the tree. To do this, nail a nail to the board with the point at the top. Tie three branches with wire to this metal part with a rope. Then grease the trunk line with glue, insulate it here with napkins, glue it again. When the branch is dry, paint it light brown to create a bark. Cover thin branches with the same composition.

To make it seem as if there is snow on them, you need to break the foam with your hands. Lubricate the tree branches with Titanium, sprinkle with Styrofoam snowflakes. Attach the birds with Titan glue. They will sit firmly in their seats.

If you need a winter craft for school, then you and your children can create a scene from the life of the Arctic.

To do this, you will need:

flat shoe box with a lid;
styrofoam rectangle;
cotton wool;
glue;
blue cloth or paints or a sheet of that color;
a photo of the sky with clouds printed on a printer or a similar picture from another source;
figurines of reindeer herders and arctic animals; cotton pad;
White paper;
glue;
two small Christmas trees.

Cut off a piece of the box at the front. Cover the cut with a strip of white paper. Take the styrofoam and position it to create not only a flat road, but drifts as well. You can pre-cover the foam with a white cloth. It should be of such a size that a small area in front remains uncovered. You will glue it over with a blue cloth or a sheet of paper of that color. You can also paint this part.

Glue a cotton pad here. Place a sea seal figurine on it. Attach other inhabitants of the Arctic Ocean as well. Inside the top of the lid, you need to glue the printout of the sky with clouds. Glue pieces of cotton wool from the sides and at the top. Secure the Christmas trees, put polar bears, reindeer herders and a deer.

You can make a winter craft for school from pine cones. Cover them with white paint, mold the heads and wings of these penguins from plasticine. And large open cones will become Christmas trees. Attach artificial snow or crumbled foam to the base.

If you need to quickly make a winter craft, then you can also craft it from an open box. Fix that in this position. Take a thick piece of styrofoam, place a ruler on it, and cut with a knife.

Let the cuts be not very even, so that then it seems as if it is an ice floe. Cut shapes of various shapes out of polystyrene, lay them on top of one another and fix with double-sided tape. These will be small ice floes.

Place a bear next to it, and place two Christmas trees in the distance. You will also create the place of the ocean using blue paper, and make a border from the snow with cotton wool. Cut snowflakes out of paper or use cotton swabs and glue them to the top of the lid.

You can make a craft out of cardboard. Volumetric figures will turn out if you cut out their base from one sheet, and then attach the front and hind legs. Attach the antlers to the deer. Make a sleigh, use a rope to tie two huskies to them. Christmas trees also need to be made of cardboard.

Such a tree is created using a very interesting technology. But first take:

a piece of green paper;
scissors;
glue stick;
beads, rhinestones or pompons.

If the child is very small, then decorate the tree with him with not small objects. It can be decorated with pom-poms.

See how to cut a piece of paper. But first, cut a square from it. To do this, bend the corner to the opposite side, remove the excess with scissors. Now from the side opposite to the fold, cut this place into strips.

Starting at the bottom, fold the strips towards the middle and glue them here. The folds do not need to be flattened in order for them to remain voluminous.

Leave the top intact so that it looks like a star on the tree. And at the bottom, glue a small rectangle of brown paper, this is the trunk of a tree.

Now it remains to decorate your creation and teach your child to create such a New Year's craft for kindergarten.

To teach kids to play sports from a young age, show how you can make crafts on this topic. It will be interesting for a child to move such a skater.

This craft is created from:

a small tin can;
colored paper;
coins or paper clips;
magnet.

You will also need paints or markers and glue. First, you need to decorate the bottom and top interior of the box so that it looks like it's a skating rink and its surroundings. Cut out a girl on skates from thick paper or cardboard and glue her to a paper clip or coin. On the reverse side, you need to apply a magnet and move it. The figurine will also move.

You can make a skater who will be on the rink. To do this, cut out a round sheet of cardboard, glue a sheet of blue colored paper on it.

Have the child cut and attach the snowflakes here. He will make the side from cardboard, and from colored paper a skater. You need to glue a strip of colored cardboard to it and use this part to attach it to the ice.

If you have a small matching doll, it can also be turned into a figure skater by making a matching outfit. Flip the box on its edge, arrange it so that it looks like ice. Attach the tree, fix small shatterproof balls on the threads at the top.

You can cut the edges of the box in a zigzag pattern, and attach tinsel in waves. Glue the corresponding picture on the back. Make ice from a piece of foil; you need to create a Christmas tree from tinsel. Attach a skater in the center of this composition, and a beautiful winter craft for kindergarten is ready.

You can make such sports-themed masterpieces using ice cream sticks. They will turn into skis, toothpicks will become sticks. It remains to draw a figurine of a girl or a boy on white cardboard, attach it to the previously created sports attributes and admire the result.

If you wish, make a voluminous composition in which many attributes will be present.

Cut out the details of the house from cardboard, glue them. Ice cream sticks make a wonderful bridge across the river, it can be made from foil. Take green plastic forks or paint white that color and glue the tree from them, attaching these parts to a green paper cone. And you will create a tree according to the principle described earlier, as well as birds for it.

If you need a winter composition, where everything will be covered with snow, you will need a lot of cotton wool or white filler.

You will glue such houses from cardboard and foam, and make roofs with cotton pads. They look like snow covered tiles. Use ice cream sticks to create a fence, fabric or cardboard, and place them here. Attach a few twigs and fix them with glue.
