Mimosa handmade. Master classes. Outline of a lesson in fine arts (FINE, class) on the topic: Application from napkins "Mimosa Branch"

If you like to engage in artistic creativity with children or do it as your professional activity, information on how the Mimosa application is made from various materials will be very useful to you. These options can be offered to children of different ages. It is easy for kids to simplify tasks by eliminating complex details or preparing some elements in advance.

Tools and materials

To make a beautiful and neat Mimosa application with your children, prepare the following:

  • colored cardboard or blue paper for the base;
  • cardboard in a contrasting color, such as brown, to frame the finished work;
  • pencil;
  • eraser;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • green paper (plain or corrugated).

For the manufacture of inflorescences, you can choose one of the following materials:

  • cotton wool, which will need to be painted with yellow gouache;
  • corrugated paper;
  • napkins;
  • plasticine.

Keeping children at home

When a child completes a task with their parents, the Mimosa application can be created using any technique and in various combinations. Even children of primary preschool age can easily master any option together with an adult. It is better to do the work not at once, but to divide it into several stages.

Kindergarten Options

If you have a lesson on a spring theme or on making gifts for mothers by March 8, a good option is the Mimosa application. In kindergarten or when working with any organized group, it is important to plan the process correctly and make it as easy as possible for the kids to work independently.

Focusing on the age of the children, prepare stencils of leaves, draw the outlines of twigs, cut paper or napkins into equal squares so that the rolled balls are the same size.

Explain the sequence of work, tell about the properties of the selected materials, read a poem about spring, mother, the holiday of March 8 and the flowers produced. It is good to bring a natural mimosa sprig. In short, the lesson should contribute to the comprehensive development of children.

Application "Mimosa" from napkins

Yellow napkins are good to use as an alternative to corrugated paper. To make the balls the same size, cut the napkins into squares. If the application "Mimosa" from napkins is performed by a younger preschooler, who, most likely, will not be able to perfectly roll up tight balls, you can not make square blanks, but invite the child to tear off the pieces from a large napkin himself, having previously shown what size they should be.

If yellow napkins are not available, use white ones. First, roll balls out of them, and then lower them into gouache. You can immediately combine two operations by mixing paint with PVA glue and dipping the workpiece into the prepared composition, laying out the composition on a sheet, although it is better to let the workpieces dry after painting.

Paper mimosa: applique

If the work is done from corrugated paper, the sequence of actions is as follows:

From ordinary colored paper, the application technology will be similar. The only difference is that the branches must be made from thin strips or drawn. Yellow paper circles are easy to get with a regular stationery hole punch.

The only disadvantage of this method is that mimosa made of paper (application of inflorescences) will turn out to be completely flat. If you want to make a relief, it is better to combine ordinary colored paper with another yellow material to make inflorescences (corrugated, napkins, plasticine).

When the work is finished and dries, it must be formalized. The easiest way to do it is this:

  1. Take a sheet of cardboard larger than the base on which the application was made, and glue the resulting panel onto it. It will take on a neat, finished look.
  2. If there is nothing more, you can arrange the work in a passe-partout glued from strips of paper (white, brown). The ideal option is to place the craft in a real wooden frame. This method, of course, is only suitable for parents to perform. In the garden, you should use one of the simple methods. If the panel was made small, it is easy to glue it on a sheet folded in half as the front side of the postcard.

Cotton flowers

If you do not have napkins and corrugated paper, or the baby cannot roll up even, neat balls so that they do not unfold, use a material that is easier to process. Application "Mimosa" from cotton wool is done faster:

  1. Give your child a piece of cotton.
  2. Show your child how to pinch off small pieces.
  3. Explain how to roll into balls.
  4. Dip the resulting blanks in diluted yellow gouache.
  5. Lay on a flat surface to dry.
  6. Perform all other elements and actions in any of the above ways.

As you can see, the application "Mimosa" is made from different materials. Choose the appropriate option or let the child work in all ways. A great idea for making good use of your time at home, and a suitable theme for kindergarten.

Of all the spring flowers that can be easily made from paper, adults and children love mimosa the most. Delicate green leaves and small fluffy yellow balls cheer up and look great in a vase. Mimosa can be embroidered with threads, beads or satin ribbons, knitted, molded from plasticine, made using the “rampling”, “quilling” technique or in the form of a traditional appliqué, but this flower looks best of all from paper. It is not difficult to make this amazing plant, and if you wish, you can form a lush and elegant bouquet from several branches, which can be a great gift for the female half of your family.

Do you know what plant in our country is called "mimosa"?

In fact, the flower with yellow buds familiar to us is a silver acacia. True mimosa belongs to the legume family and grows in Australia and Latin America.


Necessary tools and materials

To create a composition "mimosa branch" you will need:

  • PVA glue;
  • scissors;
  • simple pencil;
  • thin wire for beads;
  • paper;
  • gouache;
  • semolina;
  • foam balls.

Advice

Best of all, mimosa leaves will look if you take rich green corrugated paper for their manufacture.

Preparatory stage

At the first stage, we need to make a branch of mimosa, for this:

  1. It is necessary to prepare several pieces of wire 4-5 cm long and the same number of paper strips about 5 cm in size.
  2. We coat the paper with glue and wrap it around the wire, after which we dry the resulting “stem”.
  3. After 15-20 minutes, apply glue to one end of the wire and attach a foam ball to it.
  4. We dip the ball first in glue, then in semolina and let it dry.
  5. We color the balls with bright yellow gouache.
  6. In a similar way, we prepare 15-20 similar branches with balls for a bouquet.

We form a mimosa

To collect a branch of mimosa you should:

  1. Take three ready-made wires with balls and tie them with a thread, wrapping paper on top.
  2. A little lower we attach one more wire and also tie them with threads, and then wrap them with paper. You will need to collect a branch of 16-18 wires with balls.
  3. The finished branch should be about 12-15 cm long. Three branches should be made for one bouquet.

We make leaves for mimosa

The leaves for this delicate flower are also one of the main decorations, so attention should be paid to their manufacture. It is advisable to choose moderately thick paper of juicy shades, in this case the green leaf will contrast perfectly with the bright yellow mimosa inflorescences.

  1. To make leaves, you need to take rectangular paper 15 cm long and 6 wide.
  2. We cut three such strips, fold each in half lengthwise and cut the edges with a wavy line, after which we cut the edge with a small straw, unfold the sheet.
  3. We wrap a wire for beads 15 cm long with paper, glue it, dry it and glue it to the middle of the leaf. As a result, we get three finished leaves for the bouquet.
  4. We connect green leaves and yellow buds, at the bottom the bouquet can be wrapped with a thread or tied with a ribbon.

Output:

Paper crafts are a great pastime for the whole family. The opportunity to make something beautiful with your own hands will surely interest your child, who will be able to show imagination and, at the same time, learn perseverance and accuracy. You can make a delicate paper mimosa for International Women's Day, this plant is also suitable as an original gift or addition to a souvenir.


Mimosa from paper and napkins

Mimosa do it yourself

How to make paper mimosa

Among the first spring flowers, a special place is occupied by bright and fluffy branches of mimosa.

What can you make a cute gift for mom or grandmother for Women's Day?

Many needlewomen have leftover yarn in stock.

To make a mimosa with your own hands from the remnants of woolen threads, we need:

    thick woolen threads of yellow color,

    thin wire (you can use wire for beads - it comes in different colors, durable and flexible),

  • paper glue,

    corrugated green paper.

Threads can be taken in different shades of yellow, then the craft will look more natural. If you want the mimosa flowers to be large, then you can use ordinary scissors. To get small flowers, it is better to use manicure. For convenience, the wire can be pre-cut into pieces 8-10 cm long. Corrugated paper is cut into strips 1 cm wide. To make tight coils of wire and securely fasten the thread trimmings, we need pliers or pliers, but you can just work with your fingers.

We attach a piece of wire to the side of the scissors and wind the yarn. For convenience, one end of the wire must be made approximately twice as long as the other. In order for a hand-made mimosa flower to be quite lush and the wire to be invisible, you need to make at least 12-15 turns of the thread. Gently tighten the turns of the thread on the side of the scissors and begin to twist the wire. At the moment, you can use pliers or pliers, twisting the wire. But this must be done very carefully so as not to break off the ends. Next, carefully squeezing the scissors, cut the yarn. We got such a shaggy blank on a thin wire.

Now it's the turn of corrugated paper. We tightly wind it onto the wire, starting from the flower head. We cut off the tip of the strip and glue it for reliability. It looks like tiny dandelions.

Our next task is to put together all the blanks. We put together two "dandelions" and fix them with a strip of green corrugated paper. For reliability, we coat the product with glue. Add the next detail and again fix with a paper strip. Gradually adding blanks, we collect a sprig of mimosa with our own hands.

Your imagination will tell you how many branches will be in the bouquet and how to make the leaves.

Bright do-it-yourself paper mimosa branches

Plain paper gives the widest scope for creativity. There are a large number of different paper-plastic techniques. For example, a fairly new rampling technique. Applications made in this way develop fine motor skills and imagination. Pictures and postcards are bright, voluminous.

Prepare colored or white cardboard, which will serve as the basis of the postcard, a pencil and scissors, corrugated paper in yellow and green, and any paper glue.

On the cardboard we draw the outline of the future flower. We have a branch of mimosa. We cut the yellow corrugated paper first into strips 1 cm wide, and then into squares with sides of about 1x1 cm. We cut the green paper into strips 1 cm wide. If desired, ordinary napkins can be used instead of corrugated paper, but they should be quite dense. Now we begin to form the trunk and branches: we roll dense sausages from green stripes. We cut off the blank of the required length and glue it along the contour of the trunk. To make it thicker, you can fold two strips. We roll the next strip into thin sausages and glue along the contour of the branches.

We crush the yellow squares and form balls out of them. To give brightness and realism to the postcard, you can use paper of different shades. Glue yellow balls around the branches, on the branches themselves and around. We cut out several leaves of arbitrary shape from green paper and glue them on the application. A charming handmade mimosa bouquet is ready.

Another very interesting paper-plastic technique is quilling. This ancient art will help us create an original spectacular craft. You can purchase sets of special paper strips for quilling at a stationery store, or you can cut double-sided colored paper into strips 3-5 mm wide yourself. We also need a sheet of cardboard, which will serve as the basis for the postcard, scissors and paper glue.

We start with yellow paper. On the side of the strips we make notches to a depth of 2-3 mm at a distance of 3-4 mm from each other. We roll the strip into a tight roll and glue the tip. We choose strips of different lengths from 3 to 12 cm, because the flowers can be of different sizes. Slightly fluff the workpiece from the side of the notches and get a do-it-yourself mimosa flower. We make the required number of blanks of different sizes and different shades of yellow.

We make branches of our future flower from strips of brown paper. On the sides of the green stripes we make notches, as on yellow ones, only we place them obliquely. These will be the leaves of our mimosa. Glue the twig and leaves to the cardboard base.

Now it's the turn of the flowers themselves. In random order, alternating blanks of different sizes and shades, we place them on a postcard. Your fantasy and imagination will tell you how best to arrange the flowers. Of course, they also need to be glued to the base. A bright and original postcard is ready. It can be a wonderful gift for mom or grandmother for the holiday of March 8th.

Mimosa flowers, made by hand in various techniques from paper or other improvised materials, will be a wonderful sign of attention for your family and friends.


Very soon the most feminine day of the year will come - March 8th. And while there is time, little needlewomen and needlewomen should take care of gifts for their beloved mothers, grandmothers, sisters, girlfriends. Is there anything better than a handmade gift with love and tenderness? Therefore, I suggest you make the sunniest, most spring and most fragrant flower - mimosa - for the women's holiday. When doing this craft, we will use elements of the quilling technique, but don’t be scared, it’s not at all difficult, but very interesting and exciting. The main thing in any work is to be patient and in a good mood, and then you will definitely succeed!

For work we need:

1. A sheet of colored paper in yellow and green;
2. Strips for quilling;
3. Quilling tool;
4. Glue - pencil;
5. PVA glue;
6. Scissors;
7. Twig;
8. Green corrugated paper;
9. Styrofoam;
10. Sisal;
11. Simple pencil;
12. Ruler.


In order to make mimosa flowers, we take a sheet of yellow paper and draw it into equal stripes 1.5 cm wide.


As soon as the sheet is completely lined, cut it into strips.


Now we collect together 4-5 strips and cut them across, without cutting 0.5 mm to the edge.


Using a quilling tool, twist each strip tightly,


and the end of the strip, so as not to unwind, is glued with glue - a pencil. If you do not have a quilling tool, then the stripes can be wound on a wooden skewer or toothpick. This is how the preparation should turn out.


To avoid accidental damage to the flower, lightly glue its underside. When the glue dries, gently fluff the flower blank with your fingers, as a result, you should get such a fluffy flower.


You need to make about 20 such flowers.


Now let's take a stalk for our mimosa. We will use a wooden stick as a stem, which we completely wrap with green corrugated paper.




And now it's time to assemble our mimosa. We glue paper flowers on a branch next to each other, trying not to leave gaps between them.






In order to make mimosa leaves, we take a small piece of green paper, fold it in half and draw a half of a leaf on it with a simple pencil.


Without unbending the paper, cut out half of the leaf along the contour. And again, without opening the leaf, we cut its ends with a fringe.


Now you can open the leaf.


We make three identical leaves and glue them on the stem of the flower.


And to make the mimosa look like a real gift for March 8, we will make a vase with a stand for it. We glue together about 15 strips for quilling, the width of which is 0.5 mm., Then we twist them into one tight roll. Do not forget to glue the end of the roll with glue. The roll should be about 4cm in diameter.


Now gently squeeze the roll, achieving the shape of a vase.


To make the vase durable, we coat it with PVA glue from the inside.


The bottom of the vase is not very stable, and so that it does not fall, I recommend making a small stand for it. We twist a ring from strips for quilling, with a diameter of 2 cm,


and in its middle we glue the bottom of the paper vase.


Now our vase will be much more stable and we can start “populating” our mimosa into it.

Fill the vase with styrofoam balls


we insert the stem of the flower into it and lightly impregnate the foam with PVA glue.


Let the glue dry. From above we decorate a vase with sisal.

A gift for mom on March 8 is ready!


I hope you liked this master class and you will be happy to make this festive sunny spring flower. Happy Spring Festival everyone! Good luck and be creative!

STUDY PROCEDURE:

Educator: Guys, Lisa came to visit us today. Let's say hello to her.

Children: Hello Lisa!

A fox: Hello guys!

Educator:

(notes that the fox is sad)

Lisa, why are you so sad? What happened to you?

A fox: Spring has come, the birds are singing, beauty. I walked through the spring forest and I wanted to please myself. I walked past and in a clearing I saw a large, beautiful bush, on which large, yellow flowers grew. I liked them so much that I wanted to pick them up. But the raven didn't let me pick them, I don't even know why?

Educator: Guys, why do you think?

Children: (children's answers)

A fox: Well, think, at least one branch could have been plucked?

Educator: No, fox, you can't. It is necessary to protect all living things, not to pluck anything, otherwise everything will perish.

A fox: Oh come on. And I so wanted to break it, so I wanted to. Oh, I forgot the name of this bush.

Educator: Lisa, and in my opinion I guess what will be discussed now. The kids and I know the riddle, listen.

Yellow-gold flower

Like a fluffy chicken

Withers immediately from frost

Our sissy (Mimosa)

Educator:

Guys, pay attention to our pictures, look what a beautiful mimosa branch. Look at her appearance. What color are the flowers?

Children: Yellow color.

Educator: Can you tell me if the flowers are large or small?

Children: Small flowers.

Educator: The flowers are small, but there are many of them, they sit tightly on the branches, so the branch looks magnificent. What color are the leaves?

Children: Green color

Educator: Let's admire the mimosa twig again. The mimosa leaves are beautiful, green in color, and the flowers are bright yellow, small and fluffy on a branch, there are many, many. Beautiful branch?

Children: YES!

Educator: (again notices that Lisa is sad)

Do not be sad, Lisa, and now our children will show you how spring flowers can bloom.

PHYSICAL MINUTE:

Our spring flowers

open the petals

(children squat and stand up smoothly - hands up)

The wind breathes a little

The petals sway.

(children sway from side to side)

Our spring flowers

Close the petals.

(children close their hands, squat down)

Sleeping quietly

They shake their heads.

(squatting, shaking head).

A fox: Yes, they bloom beautifully. But I so wanted to break it, but they didn’t let me, it’s so sad. I don't even know what to do.

Educator: Guys, let's cheer up Lisa and make her happy. And how can we do it?

Children: (children's answers)

A fox: Oh, guys, really, make a sprig of mimosa for me. But I can't do it. Can I take a photo of you?

Educator: Of course you can. Guys, come to the tables, sit down. Now I will tell you how we will make our mimosa. We take a piece of a napkin, crumple it in our hands and roll a small ball between the thumb and forefinger to make a beautiful and even ball. Well done guys, everyone gets balls?

And now let's take the glue, spread our guidelines on the sheet and glue many, many balls to make a beautiful and fluffy mimosa branch. Children do the work, quiet music sounds (birdsong).

Did everyone get beautiful mimosa twigs?

Children: YES!

Educator: And now we need to make leaves on our branch. Look, you have rectangles of colored paper, they are folded in half, with the colored side inward, you need to take the workpiece by the fold andsymmetricalcut out cut leaf. And now we spread the leaves on the white side and glue them.

You all did your best, if someone didn’t succeed today or it was difficult, then next time you will definitely succeed. Did you like it?

Children: YES!

Reflection.

Educator: Guys, what did we make leaves for the twigs from?

Children: From paper

Educator: What color are our leaves?

Children: The leaves are green.

Educator: And what did we make flowers from?

Children: Flowers were made from napkins.

Educator: What color are our flowers?

Children: Flowers are yellow.

Educator: And now let's remember what kind of branch we did with you. What is it called?

Children: Mimosa.

Educator: All right. I think Lisa is very pleased with your work. Now she knows that a mimosa branch can not only be drawn, but also made from napkins.
