The master class is designed for children 5-7 years old (depending on the development of paper handling skills). Young children can be offered ready-to-assemble elements for work. The children of the preparatory group cope with the work on their own.

Appointment: a gift to mom, grandmother.

Tasks:- continue to improve paper handling skills

Continue teaching origami and papermaking techniques

Learn to work with different types of paper

Instill a love of holidays, family values.

We need:

Green cardboard

Colored paper in red (other colors available)

A square of kraft paper 15x15 cm (experience has shown that for such work it is better to take kraft paper not for sketches, but either wrapping paper, or from bags (we cut the bag) - it is denser and holds its shape better.)

Progress:

We will start our work with a flower pot. To do this, take a square of craft paper, fold it diagonally. We put the resulting triangle in front of us at a right angle up.

Bend the bottom corner to the opposite side of the triangle.

Bend the second corner in the same way.

Fold down the upper corners. First on one side of the workpiece, then on the other.

We straighten the resulting "pot" - it has become voluminous.

Now let's take a flower, which we will plant in a pot. Cut out three "drops" from red paper; cut a strip from the green cardboard and cut out the leaves.

Younger children can prepare such blanks themselves, and offer stencils to older children. Let the children stencils and cut out the parts themselves.

We place one "drop" on the table with the sharp end up, the other two we fold in half, as in the photo.

We glue the folded blanks to the third one so that the flower “opens up”.

We glue the stem to the wrong side of the "bud".

We turn the work over to face us, glue the leaves.


We "plant" a flower in a pot.

The work is ready.

Note: The envelope pot turns out to be voluminous and you can put some kind of small surprise in it: a cut out heart, a small card with wishes, etc. Our guys and I once put a piece of candy in such an envelope.

The tulips in the photo were made by the guys of the middle group with the help of my "chintz" children. Mine were cut and folded, and the younger guys assembled.

Thank you for attention.

Dear Colleagues! On the eve of any holiday, when it is necessary to make gifts, the question arises: What to do with the guys this time?

One of the first spring holidays is March 8th. This is a wonderful occasion to say to your family and friends women "thank you!" and give them gifts, warmed by the warmth of their hands.

The traditional shades of this spring holiday are red, green, pink, yellow. The main symbols and themes are flowers, sun, spring and number eight. But before embarking on hand-made art, it is advisable to find out about the woman's preferences: perhaps her potholder has deteriorated, her apron has torn, her favorite vase has broken, or there is nowhere to hang the keys. It is doubly pleasant to receive a necessary and timely gift. Here are some simple ideas:

1. Original bouquet

Instead of fresh flowers that can quickly wither, on March 8, you can give an unusual bouquet of scrap materials. Here are some simple options:

This technique is very popular and is widely used in home decor. It is not difficult even for children to master it. With the help of a few sheets of colored paper, you can "wind" a beautiful bouquet of tulips.

Candies

You can attach candies to the petals of multi-colored paper flowers made using applique. In order for them to hold well, sweets should not be too heavy, and it is better to choose thick cardboard as a material for flowers.

Textile

It is easy to twist beautiful tulips from soft colored felt, which can be fixed on wooden skewers, also wrapped in green cloth. For the best effect, such a bouquet should be packed in a beautiful wrapper, just like for real flowers.

Foot and hand prints

Any mother will be very pleased to receive as a gift a bouquet consisting of multi-colored prints of the hands and feet of her beloved children. In addition, it is very easy to make such a present.

Fruits

Fancy cut fruits on skewers or whole bouquets of fruits look no less attractive than flowers. Bananas, strawberries, pineapple, dense pears, watermelon and melon keep their shape well. On sale you can find special devices for curly cutting of fruits and vegetables, which can be an additional gift.

Topiary

One of the most popular souvenirs for this holiday. There are different techniques for creating it, among which it is quite possible to choose an uncomplicated method and master it. For example, pieces of foam rubber can be sheathed with multi-colored shreds of fabric, getting voluminous flower petals from them. They fix it on a wooden stick or wire wrapped in a cloth and planted in a container with sand or stones.

2. Decorative vases

This household item is always relevant, especially on holidays, when a woman is presented with many flowers. So that she does not worry about where to put the next bouquet, you can present flowers along with an original hand-made vase. What to make it from?

Any jar can become an elegant and beautiful vase if it is decorated in an original way. Options for its decor: ribbons, beads, lace, buttons, colored paper and other available little things.

Colour pencils

An ordinary tin can (for example, from under peaches) can be decorated with colored pencils tightly attached to each other using beautiful tape and glue. Thanks to the variegated shades, the pencils look very cheerful and spring-like.

Discs with photos

CDs are not very popular these days. But their boxes can be used to create an exclusive vase of photographs. You only need four packs and four shots, which will especially delight a woman. Then the boxes are sealed with glue or tape.

Grass pots

Ordinary lawn grass of a juicy green color well refreshes the atmosphere of the room and gives a spring mood. It is easy to care for and can be planted in almost any container. But the containers decorated with photographs of children look funny and cheerful: the blades of grass will resemble the constantly growing hair of children.

3. Calendar for memory

This gift is both useful and memorable. Every month, you can decorate it with photographs or drawings that are dear to the heart of a woman, which will make the calendar an especially expensive and touching present.

What woman doesn't dream of getting breakfast in bed ?! To add charm to this beautiful gesture, breakfast can be served on a homemade decorative tray. It can be based on ordinary cut boards or pieces of old furniture. It is enough to decorate them, add tiled decor, painting, decoupage technique, etc. It is easy to attach handles from any furniture to the surface of the tray.

5. Festive wreaths

They are relevant not only for the New Year or Christmas - a beautiful decorative wreath can be an excellent gift for March 8 and a winning interior decoration. It will look good both on the door and on the wall.

Natural flowers

Wreaths of numerous live tulips or mimosa branches look gorgeous. It is convenient to fix them on a dense rounded base made of several layers of cardboard.

Candies

On the same base, previously wrapped in a thick cloth, candies are well glued. You can complete the composition with a contrasting satin ribbon.

Lamps

Used lamps can also be used. A wreath with them looks like a stylish designer piece for your home. It is better to choose the colors for painting the lamps that suit well the particular style of the interior.

Pompons

Such a variegated wreath of small multi-colored pompons or balls, made using the felting technique, immediately attracts attention and cheers up. You can complement them with a gift scarf or scarf.

Tea bags

Tea lovers will definitely appreciate such an original wreath. It is made up of tea bags of different types. They can be easily attached to the base of the wreath with clothespins.

6. Number 8

This is perhaps the most telling and symbolic present for International Women's Day. It is often made by children in labor lessons. But if you show a little imagination, effort and patience, then an ordinary figure can make a good memorable item for the interior.

The best gift for a woman on International Women's Day is a bouquet of tulips. But why are these flowers so popular on this holiday?

The women themselves answer this question as follows:

"I would like to receive as a gift something fresh, springtime ..."

"I would like to feel something tender, young in my hands ..."

Bouquet of tulips for March 8 women will be considered almost a royal gift! Moreover, nature itself, without stint, endowed these priceless flowers by March 8.

March 8 is the day when men can express all their feelings towards women. After all, there are so many relatives and beloved wives, girlfriends, mothers, grandmothers, sisters around. You just need to take care of the upcoming holiday in advance.

What is better to choose bouquets of tulips, taking into account the preferences of each woman, her social status?

LOVE. The day has come when you want to tell her about your love, to reveal the feelings that have long lurked in your soul. Present to your woman. A little variegation and brightness in addition to such a bouquet will not hurt, but will only remind you of a wonderful holiday.

OFFICE. Tomorrow comes the pre-holiday day - you and your male colleagues just need to congratulate your employees. It seems to me that you would not like to present them with compositions that are similar to each other and receive the usual smiles in return.

There are a lot of options for the uniqueness of the bouquet. You can present a bouquet of tulips in craft, or in natural packaging, it will be an exclusive congratulation.

ROMANCE. To impress a girl or woman, you can give her a huge armful of flowers on March 8th. These flowers can be arranged in a basket. An individual solution will be the design of tulips in the form of the number 8 in red and yellow colors. Stylish bouquets are made by combining tulips with other flowers. In addition, satin ribbons will become a kind of decoration for your bouquet.

Tulips- these are the flowers that are very good in different variations.

Another important piece of advice - think in advance about flower delivery... It happens that it is impossible to visit all the women on this day, for this a flower delivery service will be a good helper for you.

Feel the arrival of spring with your loved ones! Let your surprises be unexpected and welcome.

The first spring holiday, March 8, is unthinkable without flowers. And, as you know, there is also fashion on them, and not every modern young lady can please with traditional tulips. What bouquet to please your beloved, mother, colleague? How to issue it? Is it appropriate to give potted flowers? She answered the questions of the browser of the portal florist Anna Stasevich.

- In order to guess for sure with a festive bouquet, it is best to directly ask your beloved girl, wife, what flowers she likes. I like roses - give roses, she is crazy about orchids - give orchids, squeaks with delight at the sight of mimosa - give mimosa, the fashion for which has returned. Mom's tastes, of course, are also important to know.

Many women will be delighted to receive carnations. These flowers are no longer associated solely with sad events. Breeders have bred many interesting types of carnations (including the Shabo carnation), and their color palette is also impressive.

Dried flowers, bouquets of spikelets come into fashion - the latter are painted in different shades and mixed with cotton flowers.


In a word, today there are no strict requirements in floral fashion, the priority is the tastes of a particular representative of the beautiful half of humanity. If you want to make a surprise, or the flowers are intended for a colleague, boss, or relative - choose traditional tulips in neutral shades: white, pink, beige, cream.

- What tulips do modern women like? What colors can tulips be combined with?

- Modern girls, not being fans of Natasha Koroleva's work, do not perceive yellow tulips as "messengers of separation." The new generation associates these flowers with the sun, the arrival of spring. For some, they are a symbol of success. Therefore, on the eve of March 8, yellow tulips are in high demand.

A tulip is a self-sufficient flower, with a beautiful bud and lush foliage, so it doesn't really need "neighbors". An exception can be made for mimosa - such a "duet" remains relevant.

Tulip bouquets always look luxurious - it doesn't matter if it's a 15-piece mono-bouquet or a mix of yellow, red, purple, pink flowers. Also in the bouquet you can combine tulips with different buds: larger, smaller, regular, peony. The effect is very interesting! In a "modest" bouquet of 3-5 tulips, no more than two flowers are allowed, large "sets" can be bright.

- How to arrange a "8 March" bouquet?

- The trend is simplicity, so a bouquet with an unobtrusive design is considered stylish. Mirror film, jewelry, glitter, fern leaves are a thing of the past. Attention should be drawn to a flower that is beautiful in itself, and not a bulky and pompous package. It is better to buy an extra 2-4 flowers than to spend money on an expensive "outfit", which they will rush to get rid of.

Tie the flowers with a pretty ribbon - that's more than enough. Or pack the bouquet beautifully in craft paper. You can attach a small postcard to the package with mini clothespins, preferably handmade. It is very fashionable to insert sticks with wooden inscriptions into bouquets (for example, "With love", "Since March 8").

The eighth March bouquet can be supplemented with a helium balloon in the shape of a heart, a star.

- Are bouquets in baskets relevant this season?

- No, baskets have been replaced by flower boxes. They can be of different shapes - round, square, rectangular. A floral sponge soaked in water is placed at the bottom, then a bouquet is made. A mix of colors is appropriate. So, roses, carnations, peonies, tulips, mimosa and other flowers that the girl likes can coexist in the box.

- Of course. Women are traditionally given some kind of flowering plant. So, roses are very popular. Just keep in mind that flowering in such green pets most often occurs once. And when the petals fall off, you will only have to contemplate the bare foliage. Therefore, I recommend taking a closer look at cacti and succulents. A heart-shaped cactus, a creatively designed succulent plant, is a great gift for March 8th.


- How to extend the life of cut flowers?

- Cut flowers will last longer in a cool, damp environment. Tulips cannot be "settled" on the windowsill near the hot radiator. Drafts also make them uncomfortable. The water in the vase should be changed once a day, and the vase itself should be washed. In this case, the stems are cut each time - the cut should be oblique. To make tulips better absorb water, their "legs" are scratched with sharp scissors. Flowers will appreciate the cool water.

In flower shops, you can purchase special formulations to extend the life of flowers. As with aspirin, it is important not to be mistaken with the dosage: the slightest deviation from the instructions is fraught with the opposite effect. But activated carbon, which also slows down the decay process, is safe in any proportion. A quarter of a tablet is enough for a standard-sized vase - chop it and add to the water.

International Women's Day on March 8 is associated with bouquets. Tulips are one of the first spring flowers with a fresh scent. It is pleasant for any woman to get a bright bouquet for the holiday. You can please your loved ones and loved ones with flowers grown with your own hands. Recently, forcing has become a very popular activity. What is it, how does the process take place at home? How to make flowers bloom for the first spring holiday?

Preparatory work for forcing bulbs

Nowadays, a new hobby has appeared - to grow bulbous flowers in a house on a windowsill or in a greenhouse. Tulips are exactly the kind of flowers that are so in demand for the spring holiday. On their cultivation, you can make a lot of money if you try to grow by the holiday date.

First you need to deal with the variety so that the flowers are bright and beautiful. It is necessary to be guided by the following characteristics:

  • petal color;
  • plant class;
  • flowering time;
  • stem height;
  • disease resistance.

The last criterion is very important, because due to the disease, the appearance of the flower will not be so attractive. May appear dots, spots or dashes on the petals... Identifying diseased bulbs is not easy. It is better not to risk in vain and choose the most disease-resistant varieties:

  • Great;
  • Forester;
  • Kaufman.

The listed varieties have beautiful petals with a bright and unusual petal color. They have large flowers with a good medium-sized stem. After selecting the best varieties, you can proceed to the next stage - preparing the bulbs for growing in a greenhouse or in a house.

Growing flowers for the spring holiday

Plants belong to the group that a long time ago grown outdoors... Their biological characteristics do not allow tulips to grow on the windowsill as indoor plants and make them bloom in winter. The only way out is accelerated cultivation in the greenhouse or in the house. Modern flower growers began to use this technique. An artificial temperature and light regime is created for them, forcing the buds to bloom at an earlier period of time. Plants wake up early and bloom.

It is worth noting that emergency rearing is not an easy task that requires certain knowledge and time. If all goes well, it can be a lucrative and enjoyable hobby. The chosen method will help to achieve flowering ahead of time.

It is necessary to select the bulbs in the summer. They should be large and round, at least 3.5 cm in size, healthy and firm. You can select and own seed from your site. This must be done in the month of July. First, the material is dug up, then dried outside and then stored in a cool room at a temperature of 18-20 ° C.

After storage in September, you need to proceed to the next stage - cooling the bulbs. They are placed for 1 month in a room with a temperature of +5 o C and an air humidity of 85-90%. For this purpose, you can use your home refrigerator by placing seed on the bottom shelf in early September.

Exactly one month after storage in the refrigerator, they must be planted in the ground... Ordinary plastic boxes are suitable for this. They need to fill in a layer of a mixture of river sand and peat with a layer of 3 cm. The distance between the bulbs should be about 10-20 mm. They are slightly buried in prepared containers for planting. After that, the seed is watered and again covered with river sand, so that only the tops are visible.

Now, with the addition of a solution of calcium nitrate and water in a ratio of 1 g per 1 liter of water, the bulbs are watered again. After that, the boxes are placed in a cellar with a low temperature of up to + 5 ° C and a humidity of 85% in a dark place. When the soil dries up, it should be moistened every time, but only in moderation, otherwise the seed may deteriorate... It is very important that the soil for planting is permeable to air.

Already at the beginning of January, the first shoots should appear and by the end of the month their height should be about 3 cm. About a month before March 8, the boxes must be brought into a room with natural light. The temperature regime should be at +18 o C. If there is little natural light, then additional lighting is connected.

If there is a greenhouse, then tulips can be grown in greenhouse conditions. 21 days before the scheduled date, the pots or special boxes are brought into the greenhouse with a temperature of 14 ° C and maintained for three days. During this time, the sprouts will turn green and the temperature can be increased by 4 degrees with uniform humidity. Weeds should be removed and flowers should only be watered with warm water. The greenhouse must have a constantly high air humidity and the required temperature. To grow earlier varieties, they need already in October, bring to the greenhouse.

Process description

The growth of flowers can be controlled by using room temperature, lowering or raising it. If there is a desire to accelerate the growth process, then you need to increase the temperature, if it slows down, then, on the contrary, lower it by a few degrees.

Often, due to the lighting, the stems of the plant begin to stretch, this requires additional lighting. When tulips bloom earlier, the process can be paused. 10-15 pieces, together with the onions, are wrapped in paper and placed in a refrigerator, with a temperature of 1-2 ° C for 2 weeks. There are several important points to keep in mind when growing.

  • The increased temperature in the room causes deformation of the buds.
  • Peduncles can be short if the cooling period is insufficient.
  • When the leaves begin to grow intensively, they should not be kept in direct sunlight. This will cause the greenery to grow quickly and not bud.
  • Flowers can be exposed to the sun only for a short time, otherwise the buds will quickly open and fade.
  • It makes sense to apply fertilizers in the form of calcium nitrate only at the very beginning of the growing season, then there is no need for this. Correct and timely feeding will increase the number of buds and positively affect the beauty of flowers.

Flowers have faded, what's next?

After the tulips have bloomed, they must be cut. This is not done with the aim of collecting a beautiful bouquet, but in order to save the bulbs for planting next year. If everything is done correctly, then next spring they will begin to bloom again, but not so together. Flowers need restoration after forced flowering.

You should remove the peduncles, leave the leaves on the stems, water and fertilize the plants until the leaves wither. Immediately after this, the bulbs are removed and dried, freeing them from the ground. The dried heads should be stored in a cool dry place until autumn. They can be planted again at their summer cottage. They are not suitable for repeated distillation; they need a recovery period of 1-2 years.

In the spring, you need to mark the largest and most beautiful, so that later they can be selected for home. Peduncles cut as soon as the colored buds appear. This will allow the flowers not to use their internal supply, but to save it for growing at home. When the leaves on the plant wilted, you can start digging out the roots, and then follow all the steps for preparation.

If you wish, you can grow not only tulips for the spring holiday. These can be irises and hyacinths, crocuses and daffodils. The main thing is to correctly observe all stages of the forcing process, and then the flowers will delight all family members with their beauty and aroma. In addition to beauty, they can bring additional income, which can serve as the beginning for a big business.
