At the initial stage, polyurethane foam was in great demand in construction, and now crafts made from polyurethane foam are gaining more and more popularity. Polyurethane foam makes our work easier and helps us install doors and windows. When released, the foam from the can expands and fills all the voids. It is not a problem to fill even hard-to-reach places with polyurethane foam. Polyurethane foam is also used as thermal insulation and sound insulation. Thanks to the volume of foam, you can make many interesting crafts for the garden and playground.
A section has been created on the website, where you can find many interesting crafts made from polyurethane foam. And today we will look at two master classes on making a MERMAID FROM MOUNTED FOAM and a CAT FROM MOUNTED FOAM, the author of these master classes is Nadezhda Gulak.

To make a mermaid we will need:
* Polyurethane foam.
* Filter.
* Old unnecessary things.
* Film.
* Old covering material.
* Iron rod.
* Scotch.
* Serpyanka.
* Dye.
* Papier mache.

Method of making a mermaid:
Let's start production. The process of creating a mermaid itself is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance, but it is labor-intensive and requires skills when working with polyurethane foam. To make your little mermaid beautiful, you need to follow Nadezhda’s complete instructions.
First we need to make a frame for the future body of the little mermaid, but since the image of the heroine is difficult to keep in mind, you can find suitable pictures that depict the hero of your craft. To do this, we will need old unnecessary things, a filter, film, covering material old from the garden, an iron rod, and tape. The frame needs to be made so that it is not too light, and some kind of weighting material must be used. Because in a strong wind, your craft will fall and break. Most often, various plastic canisters, bottles, buckets, etc. are used when working. They are filled with stones or sand so that the structure of the finished crafts can hold up well. But it happens that this option is not suitable, especially when the crafts are large and standing. In such cases, a frame is made of thick wire, due to which the craft becomes more stable and the load is evenly distributed over all parts of the craft.

An iron rod was shaped into a sitting mermaid and welded to the filter; I collected all the old unnecessary things into women's warm tights and wrapped them with tape.

We give the body of our little mermaid a shape, take an old film of newspaper with tape and wrap it around it.

On the tail where there are voids, fill these places with polyurethane foam.

An iron rod was welded onto what the mermaid would sit on, so that it could then be screwed to a tree so that it would not fall from the wind.

Let's make the head. We take foam plastic and glue it to the thickness we need. We draw a head and facial features on the foam and cut it out.

Side view. Let's also draw the ears.

We apply polyurethane foam to the cut-out workpiece, and after a couple of minutes with wet hands we give it the desired shape.

When the foam dries well, apply a mass of papier-mâché.

The mermaid’s body has been shaped, and now foam can be applied to the frame. Before use, the contents of the can must be shaken well. Apply polyurethane foam evenly over the entire workpiece. We apply the foam in several layers, each layer needs to dry before applying, and only then we apply the next layer.

We applied polyurethane foam to the mermaid’s body, after a minute we knead the foam with our hands to give it a shape, and we wrapped it with construction tape on top... If there are small flaws, everything can be cut off with a stationery knife. That's it, the body was given shape. To protect the mounting foam from sunlight, and also to make our craft even, we apply a mass of papier-mâché on top. We apply papier-mâché when the foam dries well. See how to properly make papier-mâché for crafts from polyurethane foam. It is best not to use putty when working; crafts using it will last you much less than those made from papier-mâché. Therefore, do not take risks, but do it in proven ways. When making figures from foam, you do not need to putty them; practice has shown that over time the figures begin to crack. We also need to secure and foam the mirror and massager into our mermaid’s hands.

When the hair frame is ready, we apply mounting foam on it, this will be the hair.

Front view.

When the hair making process is finished you should end up with something like this.

Having shaped the hair using polyurethane foam, we also apply a lot of papier-mâché on top of it.

Let's start drawing the eyes.

We draw the eyes, mouth, teeth and eyebrows of our little mermaid. We make rings from wire and insert them into the ears. You can either make earrings yourself or take ready-made, old, unnecessary ones.

When the papier-mâché has dried well, which may take several days, we begin painting. We begin to completely color the little mermaid.

Look how beautiful the little mermaid turned out from polyurethane foam. You can make a beautiful wreath on her head, add a chain and that’s it.

We sit the little mermaid in the right place and admire the beauty. Let's create a fairy tale further, the mermaid needs a scientist cat. Next we will look at a master class on making a cat from polyurethane foam, which will also live next to the little mermaid.

Foam cat | Crafts for the garden

We have looked at the master class on making a little mermaid, now we will make a cat from polyurethane foam. Crafts made from polyurethane foam are good because they are not afraid of weather conditions, they will serve us well for many years. In addition, they are not difficult to make and the manufacturing costs do not cost much. And the most important thing is that the polyurethane foam is non-toxic, which means the crafts are also suitable for the playground.

To make a cat you will need:
* Polyurethane foam.
* Plastic bottle 2.5 l.
* Metal-plastic tubes.
* Film.
* Scotch.
* Wire.
* Serpyanka.
* Papier mache.
* Putty.

Method for making a cat from foam:
Making the frame of a scientist cat. The cat's body is made of 2.5 l. plastic bottle, and the spine, tail and legs are made of a metal-plastic tube.

We also make the volume of the body from old garden film and wrap it with tape.

We begin to apply the mounting foam, after another minute, sprinkle the foam and knead it with your hands, giving it the shape of a cat, this is necessary so as not to cut off the excess foam.

This is the cat we made from polyurethane foam. We make him glasses from wire.

We also give it shape by wrapping it with construction serpyanka.

We dry it and coat the polyurethane foam with papier-mâché; when it was all dry, Nadezhda applied the prepared putty.

Let's start painting the cat. We draw eyes, nose, eyebrows and mouth.

We color the whole cat completely.

We make the book from foam plastic, cut it out to the desired shape. We apply polyurethane foam, level it with wet hands, and when dry, apply papier-mâché. Then we dry it well again and paint it at our discretion.

We all sit the cat closer to the little mermaid and admire the beauty.

The long-awaited weekend is approaching. Your baby has been going to kindergarten all week, gaining more and more new knowledge and skills. Creative activities are especially popular in kindergartens. This includes modeling, drawing, and appliqué. And in some kindergartens they even teach how to use a needle and thread. Often children's work is hung on stands to show what their children have learned during this time. These include thematic drawings, crafts, and even decorations for a specific holiday.

Applications in kindergarten are distinguished by their simplicity and are based mainly on the study of simple geometric shapes. So, using ordinary circles and squares, you can eventually get images of objects around us - a car, a tree, a caterpillar, a snowman... What else can be made from ordinary geometric shapes?

Today we will make a fairy-tale heroine - a little mermaid. For work we will need:

cardboard
colored paper
doll eyes with painted eyelashes
brown and red pencils
scissors

Of course, the child still cannot cope with some details of the appliqué made from colored paper. The mother’s task is to cut out ornate shapes and help the baby place them on the cardboard.

For example, one of the complex details is the fish tail of the little mermaid.

Mom also had to decorate the body, but the little one can easily lubricate the finished elements with PVA and glue them to the base of the applique.

You can try to make the next part of the body together - let the mother cut out a circle from paper, and the baby uses scissors to divide it in half and glue it above the tail.

It’s possible that your child won’t be able to design a mermaid head on his own. Although a paper circle is the simplest geometric shape, kids rarely cut it out exactly. It's OK. After making minor adjustments by the mother, the baby can glue the little mermaid’s head to the body on the appliqué.

But cutting out a triangle from colored paper is easier than cutting a circle, because there are no curved lines. If necessary, the figure can be corrected. Glue the new part to the picture.

At the next stage, we glue plastic eyes onto the heroine’s face, draw a nose and mouth with pencils, and also add arms to the sides of the body.

All that remains is to make little paper hands for the little mermaid and decorate the seabed with green algae.

So that the paper heroine does not get bored, we cut out a friend for her - a yellow octopus.

At this point, the work on the colored paper appliqué can be considered complete. You can take the applique to kindergarten to show how great you are with scissors and glue.

Tits are wonderful and very beautiful birds. One of the few birds that do not fly away for the winter in search of warmth. Tits spend the winter with us.

Craft from natural material “Hedgehog and Hedgehog” Lesson: Craft from natural material and plasticine. Goals and objectives: 1) Develop small imagination.

Autumn is a very favorable time of year for creativity. Natural material underfoot, and on trees and bushes. My children and I during the fall.

Little mermaids are very cute fairy-tale creatures. They attract fishermen with their beautiful singing and unusual appearance: instead of legs they have a scaly tail. Therefore, you can make such a craft from colored paper, showing a little imagination.

Necessary materials:

colored semi-cardboard in blue, red, light yellow and green;
stapler with staples;
office glue;
scissors;
ruler;
marker;
pencil.

How to make a paper mermaid step by step:

Draw a rectangle with parameters 11 x 7 cm on a light yellow sheet of paper. Cut it out.
In the center of the sheet we draw the face of a girl with beautiful eyes, a cute nose and lips. Instead of painted eyes, you can use ready-made plastic ones, which will fit perfectly into this craft.
We cut out a strip of 11 x 1.5 cm, as well as a small part of the little mermaid’s tail.
Over the entire surface of the strip and details of the tail, draw scales in the form of a semicircle.
Glue a green strip with a scale texture to the lower part of the body. Next, we twist it into a tube and fix it with a stapler or glue.
We also use a stapler to attach the tail part to the body from the back side.
From blue paper we cut out a thin strip of 10 x 0.5 cm, as well as two shells. Which should be painted with a marker.
Glue a thin strip in the middle of the mermaid's body. We attach two shells to the strip.
Now let's create the sea girl's hair. To do this, take red paper and cut out a thin strip of 10 x 2.5 and a rectangle of 7 x 5 cm.
Cut a triangle in the center of the strip.
Glue it and get the top part of the hair.
Next, create a fringe on the rectangle.
Curl your hair.
Glue the finished red part to the top of the tube to create beautiful hair. Let's decorate the little mermaid's hair with a cute starfish, which should be cut out of blue paper.
A sea mermaid made of colored paper with red hair and a green tail is ready.
Girls will be delighted with such a craft, which they can decorate and paint, and then play simple games with their friends.
