All the materials that we will use to create gifts for March 8 are very simple. Most likely, you already have everything you need. If this is not the case, you will not have any difficulty finding it in the craft departments or hypermarkets.

We have collected the most popular, but not trivial gifts. Choose what you like best and feel free to get down to business. A gift for International Women's Day can be made even in 15-20 minutes!

Paper flowers

Paper crafts for March 8 are very popular. We invite you to make a beautiful and very delicate bouquet of flowers using the quilling technique. Such a gift will not leave anyone indifferent, because it is difficult to find a woman who does not appreciate flowers. This simple craft is a great gift for mom, grandma, or teacher.

We will need:

  • wire;
  • colored paper;
  • decorative branches;
  • decorative butterflies (or cardboard and stencil);
  • Styrofoam;
  • flower pot or basket;
  • Super glue;
  • glue stick;
  • quilling needle.

Please note that a flower pot or basket can easily be replaced with wrapping paper.

We have previously told you what it is. In the article at the link you will find useful tips on choosing paper for crafts using this technique, as well as information on what you can use to replace a quilling needle if you do not have a ready-made option.

Let's start creating flowers. To do this, cut all the paper into strips 0.5 centimeters wide. It is desirable that the length of each strip is at least 50 centimeters. However, to create petals that are not too large, A4 sheets will be sufficient, which we will divide into strips (cut along, not across).

We take a white strip and wind it tightly onto a needle, forming a very tight “bobbin”. Then we pull out the needle and, using our fingers, give the untwisted part the shape of a petal. Press the end well. The tip can be glued to a glue stick. Make at least 10 petals per flower. Determine the number of petals by the number of flowers in the craft by March 8th.

Fold the yellow strip in half, and then in half again. Leaving 1-2 mm on top, make a fringe along the entire length of the resulting part. Coat the uncut strip with glue and twist the part into a flower - this is the middle of the flower.

We connect the yellow center with the petals using superglue; this must be done from the “wrong” side. The petals should point slightly upward. Make the required number of daisies.

Now let's take care of the legs. To do this, cut a small piece of wire (the length depends on the desired size of the flowers). We entangle the entire wire with a green strip of paper. On top we make the same dense bobbin as on the petal blanks. Raise it up a little and add a drop of superglue. Connect with the flower itself.

You can wrap the resulting gift in wrapping paper. A bouquet placed in a pot will look even more interesting. To do this, glue a piece of foam plastic to the bottom of the basket or flowerpot and simply stick the wire legs all the way to the base. We pass decorative leaves between the flowers, and plant a beautiful butterfly on top.

This craft will be perfectly complemented by vintage paper butterflies. If you like homemade paper flowers, you can see how to make your own dahlias for the holiday. This is no longer quilling, but the technique is also interesting.

Beaded roses

This March 8 gift master class will not be difficult even for children: we will make a beautiful festive rose from beads with our own hands. This is another option for presenting flowers to your beloved women, which the recipient will definitely like. This craft is a great holiday gift for your mother, sister, grandmother or friend. The main value of such flowers is their stunning appearance and durability; Such gifts are kept for years.

We will need:

  • beading wire;
  • green beads;
  • beads for the base.

In this case, you will not need complex beading patterns. The flower is assembled from several petals, and this greatly simplifies the task. This means that even beginners can master the master class.

We start with weaving greenery. To do this, bite off a few pieces of wire and prepare green beads. We will need 13 beads for one leaf. Take a look at the photo to see how the rows are built.

At the end of each petal we make a small knot. For one beaded rose we will need at least 5 green leaves. It will be nice to place 1-2 extra leaves on the flower stem, but this is not necessary.

Then we weave one row at a time, constantly increasing the number of beads by 2. That is, in the third row there are four beads, in the fourth there are six, etc. In total you need to make 8 rows.

After this, pass a row of beads along the edges of each petal to the very base to complete the leaf beautifully and round the edges.

To diversify the composition, you can add several larger green petals. It is better to weave them right away - before assembling the flower.

We round the petals a little towards the center and insert them into each other. We weave the wire together - just twist it.

We place green leaves under the base of the bud. Place a couple of green leaves in the center of the stem. We braid the stem itself with an additional piece of wire to make the craft look neat.

The original gift for March 8 is ready! You can give one rose, making it large - with a long stem. If you wish, you can weave a few more flowers and arrange them into a beautiful homemade holiday bouquet.

Candy heart

What woman would refuse sweets on her main holiday? But giving candy just like that is a little boring, let's decorate it nicely! We will make a very beautiful present for March 8th, which will appeal to girls and women of any age. You can make it yourself for a friend or offer such a craft to a child (elementary school, kindergarten) as a gift for a teacher or educator.

We will need:

  • hacksaw;
  • skin;
  • corrugated paper (white and colored);
  • acrylic or spray paints;
  • safety pins;
  • any decor.

Expanded polystyrene is the same material that can be found at the bottom of the boxes in which household appliances were packaged. Take a careful look to see if you still have this material that will be useful for you to create crafts for March 8th. If there is nothing suitable, replace it with foam. However, keep in mind that the foam will rustle unpleasantly when cutting and crumble.

Draw a big heart on a piece of polystyrene foam. This can be done using a stencil or by hand. A great idea is to cut out a heart from paper and then simply trace its outline; so you can't go wrong.

We cut out the heart using a hacksaw and sand the edges so that the craft is smooth.

In the center of the future gift, draw another heart, and then carefully hollow out the middle part. We do this using a hacksaw and a hammer. It is also better to sand the edges so that the recipient does not notice the flaw in your holiday gift.

We cover the side parts of the craft with white corrugated cardboard; its remains can be secured to the bottom (meaning the recess). Use superglue to securely fix the decor. Line the inside of the box with pink corrugated paper. Drape the edges of the product beautifully, trim off the excess. The bottom can be treated with acrylic paint or spray paint. If there is nothing suitable, cover it with corrugated paper.

The gift for March 8 is almost ready! We need to place the recipient's favorite candies in the center. Safety pins will be required for secure fixation. We attach one candy at a time - just stick the needle into the candy wrapper (you can do it on both sides). We complement the festive craft with decorative flowers.

You've got a great sweet gift that the recipient will definitely like. Complete the composition with a bouquet of flowers - and the recipient will be amazed! Flowers and sweets are a standard gift for March 8th for mothers, grandmothers, and girls, but all this can be presented in a very unusual and soulful way.

Beautiful rose candles

Candles are one of the best gifts for women. It's romantic, beautiful and very cute. Especially if the gift is made with your own hands and looks like buds of beautiful roses. Candles will be an excellent gift for mom (primary and middle school children can do this under adult supervision), girlfriends of any age, and beloved mother-in-law or sister.

Of course, you can find beautiful candles in any hypermarket, but in reality they cannot be compared with homemade ones. Just imagine how nice it will be for the person who receives as a gift a unique item that you worked so hard on.

We will need:

  • several white candles (the simplest ones);
  • candles with a metal base (“floating” candles);
  • dry food coloring or red (pink) pencil lead;
  • wooden skewer;
  • metal plate or saucepan.

If you have crayons or pencil leads, all you have to do is take one of them and crumble or grate one of them. However, for richness it will be better to add dry food coloring. If you don’t have pink or red dyes, use others - no problem (modern roses come in yellow, blue, and any others).

Mix the dyes in a metal bowl and rub paraffin from old candles into it. Save the wick strings - we will need them later. Don’t throw away the metal candlesticks either – we will place our roses in them.

Place the plate in a water bath or over very low heat and melt the mixture. It should resemble jelly in consistency and be evenly colored.

Next, we need an old cutting board or any other surface that you don’t mind scraping with a knife. Using a brush, make a few blurry drops: they should be slightly narrower at the bottom and wider at the top. Do not remove the remaining paraffin from the water bath yet.

When the mass applied to the surface has cooled slightly, carefully scrape it off with a knife and roll it into a tube around the wick. Form a petal by pressing the bottom part with your fingers.

Gradually build up the mass of petals around the wick. Press each new petal slightly in the center and bend it back, giving the shape of a bud.

Please note that the petals do not have to be the same shape. It's okay if the outer part of the petals is wider. It's even more convenient.

Distribute the paraffin that you did not remove from the bath over metal candlesticks. Stick the formed bud into this mass and wait until the mass sets. Ready!

If you want to make scented candles, add 10-12 drops of rose essential oil to the mixture. This way, when the candle burns, the room will be filled with a wonderful aroma. Additionally, the festive craft can be decorated with dry glitter. They do not smell when in contact with fire, and make candles elegant.

Another great idea is colored petals. If you have several food colors and the ability to place several plates in a water bath at once, then the petals can be made in two or more colors, and then combined in random order or alternately.

This gift is appropriate to give even to a stranger. For example, such candles would be good as a gift for female colleagues. It’s absolutely okay if your gifts for March 8th are homemade, because this is always highly appreciated.

If you don't have floating candles or want to "plant" a rose in a jar, take a look at these instructions. However, please note that you don’t need an ordinary jar, but one with a wide neck so that the paraffin does not drip onto the table when burning.

Topiary for the holiday

Another great gift for March 8th is homemade topiary. This craft seems difficult, but even children can handle it. Topiary is a wonderful DIY gift for mom. In addition, it can be given as a gift to a teacher or grandmother. The craft can become the central decoration of the holiday and will last for a very long time.

In this video tutorial, crepe paper serves as the basis for a festive topiary. However, there is nothing wrong with replacing it with something. For crafts for March 8, ready-made decorative flowers, roses made of satin ribbons, kanzashi flowers, paper flowers on skewers, tulips and roses made of beads (instructions can be seen above), buds made of felt or foamiran are suitable.

In a word, choose any material and make holiday flowers, and then simply stick them into a ball and decorate them, as shown in the video master class. A girl of any age will love this gift. If you have a child and are going to do crafts for school on March 8, take these instructions into account.

Choose any of the presented master classes and delight your beloved women with pleasant homemade gifts! Don't forget to add sweets or flowers to the gift to make it even more enjoyable. Your efforts will definitely be appreciated. All the instructions presented will help you make win-win gifts with your own hands, which are always popular with women and girls of any age.

Chocolate maker “To Mommy on March 8th”

A beautiful chocolate card, where you can put your sweet surprise, will complement the main gift in an original way. In addition, the chocolate bowl can also be used as an envelope for money, or you can put tickets for a concert or trip into it.

If you give just sweets, then after they are eaten there will be no memory of the gift, but if you present them in a chocolate bowl, then after the tea party you will be left with a beautiful postcard and a sea of ​​pleasant impressions. Your beloved mother will be pleasantly surprised by an unusual handmade gift.

To make a chocolate maker using scrapbooking technique, we will need:

  1. Thick white cardboard;
  2. Blue paper with polka dots;
  3. A sheet of paper in a box;
  4. Glue;
  5. Ruler;
  6. Awl or sharp scissors;

To begin, draw a diagram of the chocolate bowl on a checkered sheet of paper, or print it out on a printer. This master class has a ready-made template. The dimensions of the postcard correspond to a standard chocolate bar.

Place a ruler along the fold line and draw the awl firmly to mark the fold lines so you can easily bend the cardboard.

Glue the chocolate bowl together.

Glue the chocolate bowl together. Glue a small strip of tape on the bottom to prevent the chocolate from falling out.

Let's start decorating the front side. Cut the cardboard with the pattern to the required size, cut out the inscription.

Cut a piece of gauze, spray it with hairspray and scrunch it up.

Twist the stamens together and glue them to gauze. Plant decorative paper flowers on the glue, add an inscription, and decorate the whole thing with half beads.

Using a ribbon, tie a metal heart to the gauze, tie a bow, and scorch the edges of the ribbon with a lighter so that they do not fray.

Make a bow at the bottom of the card and decorate it with half beads in the shape of a flower. Hide the edges of the tape under the back of the cardboard.

Using thick double-sided tape, glue the decor to the chocolate card. Thanks to this tape, a space is created between the card and the decor, and the finished product looks more interesting and voluminous. On the inside, glue thin satin ribbons to the edges of the card so that it can be tied.

Now you can write the warmest and most sincere words for your mother, put a chocolate inside, tie it on both sides and the gift is ready!

DIY gift for grandmother on March 8

DIY paper teapot

This teapot will be a wonderful gift for your mother or grandmother. Every housewife has beautiful plates and a salad bowl in her arsenal, in which she serves delicious holiday dishes to the table when guests arrive. An ordinary tea party with visiting friends is a completely different matter. It does not provide for the use of plates with appetizers and meat dishes, so it will not be possible to surprise guests with beautiful dishes.

What do you usually serve tea bags in? In a box or on a platter? This master class will give you an original idea for an unusual and beautiful presentation of tea bags.

You will learn how to make an extraordinary paper stand for tea bags. It is made in the form of a teapot. Interested? Then quickly prepare the necessary material:

  • a piece of wrapping paper with a bright print;
  • a sheet of white cardboard;
  • glue stick;
  • scissors;
  • pen (pencil);
  • stencils in the form of a teapot and a small cup;
  • heat gun;
  • ruler;
  • braid, openwork flowers, bows and other ready-made decorative details.

First, take a sheet of cardboard and cover one side with brightly colored wrapping paper. To securely connect these materials, use a glue stick.

The result is a sheet of thick cardboard with a print in the form of roses.

Now prepare your stencils. Images can be found on the Internet and printed on a printer. If you know how to draw well, then draw the silhouettes of a teapot (teapot) and a small cup yourself.

Trace each stencil 2 times, placing them on the colorless side of the cardboard.

Cut out the blanks and cover them with wrapping paper on the other side.

You get these 4 parts that are needed for subsequent work.

Cut 2 strips from the remaining cardboard. One should be 5.5 cm x 15 cm in size, and the second should be 2.5 cm x 9 cm.

Cover each blank with wrapping paper with a picture of roses, and then fold it twice.

Now you need to assemble all the parts into a single structure. First glue the stripes using a glue gun. Apply glue to one of the parts of the teapot and fix the curved strip, as shown in the photo. Glue a narrow strip to the cup.

Glue the second part of the teapot and cup to the strips symmetrically to the first.

You get 2 blanks with deep “pockets”.

Now the cup needs to be glued to the teapot.

The main work is done, all that remains is to decorate the stand. You can use pieces of braid, bows and flowers.

Glue bows to the central part of the craft, flowers to the lid of the teapot, and place strips of braid on the bottom and top of the teapot.

This is what the finished craft looks like.

You can put napkins in the large “pocket”, and tea or coffee bags in the small one.

Or this option: in a large “pocket” place tea bags with different flavors and coffee in sticks, and in the small hole of the cup there will be bags of sugar.

This original stand for bags of tea, coffee and sugar will become a real decoration for a tea ceremony. It will cause surprise and genuine interest among guests, and the tea drinking process itself will become twice as enjoyable.

Crocheted potholder for grandmother for March 8th

Another gift for grandma in the same red and white colors is an elegant potholder, which can also serve as a napkin for hot dishes, decorate the kitchen, and make it more comfortable.

11, 12, 13, 14 rows. We knit with white yarn.

We double one column in each sector. Otherwise we knit similarly to the previous row. Each sector should have 14 single crochets. When knitting the connecting loop of the fourteenth row, change the color of the yarn. We cut the white thread and fasten it. We won't need it anymore.

15 row. In each sector after the double stitch we knit 2 sc, the next stitch we knit with an elongated loop into the stitch of the thirteenth row, the next – into the stitch of the twelfth row, the next – into the stitch of the thirteenth row.

On each of the eight sides of the polygon there are two groups of loops of different lengths. Between them we knit two sc, after the second group of loops we knit 3 sc. We finish the row with a connecting loop.

16th row. We continue to knit 15 sc each with red thread, doubling the sixteenth stitch. We knit this way in each sector.

17th row. We knit in the same way, doubling one stitch.

18th row. We finish knitting according to the same pattern, only after finishing the last circle, we knit a loop. We collect 16 VPs and, closing them in a ring, tie the ring with twenty single crochets.

Now you need to lightly steam the product using a damp iron, giving it a finished look. The potholder is ready.

DIY crafts for a friend

If you want to give your girlfriend some jewelry or a scarf with flowers, but you think it’s not very interesting, then take it and make it yourself! Such a gift will be individual and will definitely not leave your friend indifferent. And you can put a piece of your soul into it, and at the same time show your imagination and love for your friend. In this master class prepared by Anna Moiseeva, we will crochet an easy necklace!

In order to knit such a necklace we will need:

  • blue, light blue, white thread;
  • hook 1.75 mm;
  • scissors;
  • needle;
  • chain.

To knit such a product, it is better to take thin yarn. The thinner the better. Our necklace will consist of 7 circles. 1 of them will be the largest and will be located in the center. The remaining 6 are 2 sets of 3. The sets will be the same.

Let's start knitting from the central one, that is, from the largest circle. We knit 12 sc in a slip stitch with blue yarn. We close the circle with a joint and tighten the ring.

We knit 1 row with blue yarn, adding every 2 stitches in the row. Closing the row, change the thread to white. We perform a row, adding every 3 loops of the row.

And we just have to knit the last row. In it we make additions every 5 loops of the row. The central circle is ready.

The next circle will consist of only 4 rows. First, we form a slip loop with blue yarn and work 12 sc into it. We will consider this to be the first row.

Then we change the thread again, but now to white. Add through 2 loops. Once again we change the thread to blue and knit a row, making increases every 3 loops of the row.

We knit 1 more exactly the same circle. We just have to connect the last 2 circles. These are the smallest parts of the necklace.

Again we knit 12 sc in a slip stitch with blue thread. Then we change it to blue. We perform a row with an increase through the loop.

We knit the same circle again. Now we just have to assemble the necklace. To do this, you first need to unfold it in order to understand how to sew the parts together.

Then we sew 2 smaller circles to the central large circle. Sew on different sides.

And then we sew others onto these parts. And at the end we sew on the smallest circles.

The last step will be the chain. We attach it to the loops of the circles. The crochet necklace is ready!

Craft - surprise “Candy message” for March 8

When you don’t want to give your close friend a banal gift, the kind that others can give, your head is full of thoughts and wild fantasies, but nothing wise comes to mind, you can follow simple advice. The best solution in your situation is to prepare a gift with your own hands! For example, you can give a gift “Candy Message”. It requires little investment and half an hour of free time.

In order to make this gift, you need to purchase a vase for candies and the candies themselves, which, naturally, must be tasty and beautiful in appearance. You can also use a decorative box, a satin bag, a basket for small items, and more as a candy dish (instead of a vase).

Also, to make a gift you will need several short satin ribbons of any width (or thread) for winding scrolls and paper “scrolls” for wishes. Chains and beads, as well as various decorative elements, can be used as decoration and addition.

On the paper prepared for the scrolls, you need to write wishes, wrap the paper and tie it with ribbon or thread. The number and size of the scrolls should depend on the size of the vase and the number of candies. The color of the ribbons should be in harmony with the color of the candies and vase or be neutral.

Candies must be placed in a candy bowl, and scrolls with wishes should be beautifully placed between and on top of the candies. The gift is ready - stylish and fast!

Champagne with sweets

A traditional and at the same time banal gift for colleagues and teachers on March 8th is wine, champagne and sweets. In order not to change its essence, but to surprise with its design, you can create a unique bouquet of sweets or decorate the bottle in this way.

This one gift will contain champagne and goodies at the same time. It doesn’t matter what kind of candy you choose for this, chocolate or caramel, if you know the taste preferences of the woman to whom you will give such a bouquet - great! Well, if not, then it’s okay, take the most common ones and believe me, such a bouquet will definitely not leave anyone indifferent.

To work you will need colored corrugated paper, cardboard, a plastic yogurt jar, scissors, tape, ribbons for decoration, thread, champagne and 7 sweets.

Making a skirt for a bottle. Cut the corrugated paper to the width of the circumference of the bottle, two heights of the skirt. In this case, one edge should be 2 cm shorter.

Fold it in half and stretch the paper wide along the fold line. Using a short edge, glue the skirt to the neck of the bottle with tape.

We wrap the long edge with thread to match the paper.

Using a lid of a suitable size, draw a circle on the cardboard - this will be the base of the cap. We use a yoghurt jar to make the top of the hat.

We wrap the blanks in paper and glue them together.

We cut out rectangles measuring 5 cm by 8 cm from corrugated paper, rounding the upper edges with them. Using your fingers, we stretch the petals wide along the upper contour, creating a gentle wave.

We begin to wrap the petals on the candies. One flower will need 5-7 petals.

We combine the blanks into a product. Tie a ribbon to the hat and glue a candy flower. Additional decoration if desired.

Glue flowers to the skirt in any order.

Petals made from green corrugated paper will look beautiful with flowers. Decorate the neck of the bottle with a lace veil. The original gift set is ready.

A classic gift set for a woman can look like a real work of art. Such a gift will not leave any woman indifferent.

DIY postcards for March 8

As for the postcard, which does not require too much effort to make, you must use cardboard for its base, and the design can be done as appliqué, decoupage, scrapbooking or origami. It doesn’t matter what style such a card will be in, the main thing is that it should evoke tender feelings, be spring-like, bright, preferably with some flowers and contain warm words of congratulations. Usually there are no difficulties with materials for such a gift.

A fluttering and weightless butterfly landed on a postcard intended to congratulate loved ones on a wonderful holiday - International Women's Day. This gift is quite possible for a child to make if he is already a schoolboy. Mom will be happy to receive this elegant product, and the child’s efforts will be appreciated. Since the card was made for congratulations on March 8, you can get a little creative and make the central figure not quite ordinary.

Let the butterfly’s wings remain chic and spreading, bright and eye-catching. But let the body itself be made in the form of the number 8. This is the main highlight of the proposed gift. Not everyone will dare to play with a simple insect figurine like this, but the result will be truly beautiful.

To create the same bright and unusual postcard, prepare:

  • thick cardboard base;
  • plasticine for creating a background, design, inscription and additional decoration;
  • a toothpick that will allow you to draw on plasticine and also attach small balls.

Making a greeting card with your own hands

Take everything you need for work. A big plus is the brightness of the plasticine; the brighter and more attractive the color of the material itself, the more expressive the postcard will be. Selecting shades of plasticine is already half the success.

To begin, very carefully apply juicy green plasticine to the surface of the cardboard. Try to make the layer very thin and smooth the pieces in different directions. It doesn’t matter that the light surface of the cardboard will show through. This way we will create an unusual, slightly aged effect. In general, the craft will look harmonious.

Make a thin purple sausage. It should be long enough to form a number 8. Glue the ends together to make a ring, then cross over to create the desired piece. Make wings from bright orange plasticine. Knead the pieces of plasticine in your hands, then press them on both sides with your fingers, while simultaneously giving the wings a suitable carved shape.

Start assembling a beautiful insect. Of course, we only use the silhouette to decorate our wonderful card. Stick a figure eight in the center. Adhere to it on both sides of a pair of wings. Now we see a butterfly in front of us.

Roll out oblong white droplets from white plasticine. Make pairs of droplets of different sizes. These parts are intended to decorate the wings. Stick a few pieces on each side.

Also, use a toothpick to glue red balls along the edge of the wings. Above the image of the insect, write “Happy Holidays!” In this case, there is no need to indicate March 8, because the number eight already appears on the postcard, so it is immediately clear what holiday the craft is dedicated to. Add patterns to the corners to complete the look.

A beautiful gift does not have to be expensive. The main thing is to do it from the heart and not spare your imagination. Pack the gift beautifully, tie a bow, and now present it to your loved one with beautiful words.

Greeting card with roses made of plasticine

It is customary to depict flowers on cards dedicated to International Women's Day. This is the most desirable and most beautiful gift for the fairer sex. And even if you don’t know what to give, flowers will always help out, it’s a win-win option.

But in this lesson, prepared by Elena Nikolaeva, we will not talk about how to choose a beautiful gift, but how to make it with your own hands. We offer an unusual three-dimensional option - a postcard decorated with a bouquet of plasticine. The central buds are roses, the additional branches are blue cornflowers. The card looks gentle and rich at the same time.

Materials for the postcard:

  • thick cardboard;
  • multi-colored plasticine: red, yellow, green, blue and white;
  • thin toothpick.

How to make a beautiful greeting card with your own hands

There is a canvas in front of you. It doesn't matter what color it is. Pay more attention to its density and size. Choose the size for your craft, as well as the background color that will perfectly match the buds in the bouquet.

Fill the background completely with bright plasticine. Since you need to independently apply bright plasticine in a thin layer to the surface, the color of the cardboard is not initially important.

A beautiful bouquet can be made rich and beautifully complemented with simple wildflowers, such as cornflowers. Florists often do this. For small graceful branches, prepare thin green threads and green leaves, small blue beads.

First glue thin green twigs with leaves under one side of the card.

Then press down each leaf with a thin needle to make the surface more realistic and textured.

Collect small cornflower flowers. To do this, combine 4 blue balls together, press with your fingertips to get petals. Insert a white ball into the center. Attach the resulting flowers to ready-made branches.

Make 10-20 blue wildflowers. Stick in different places. Press the white bead in the center on top with a toothpick, and also press down each blue petal.

Now move on to the rose leaves. They should be much larger. Make green flat droplets. Draw veins on top with a thin tool.

Assemble several combinations of thin green threads and the resulting carved drop-shaped leaves.

Glue green leaves randomly over the field branches.

For beautiful roses, prepare red plasticine. Cut small pieces from the block.

Press and smooth each piece so that you get a flat, oblong petal.

Start twisting the petals into spirals to form beautiful red buds.

Form 3 buds. This will be enough to fill the picture.

Attach all the rose heads to the bouquet. Now you have a wonderful flower arrangement.

To make the inscription “Congratulations!”, stick a pink stripe somewhere on the side. Make an engraving with the sharp end of a toothpick.

If desired, fill the empty space with small multi-colored plasticine balls to create a rainbow-colored picture overall.

A beautiful greeting card with a bouquet of plasticine flowers is ready.

Handmade gifts for any occasion are highly valued and arouse interest and tenderness towards them. Of course, you can’t say for sure that any woman will be happy with some small gift that you make with your own hands. After all, many expect chic and elegant gifts from their other halves. In such cases, a homemade gift can be given as a complement to the main and exquisite one.

Things are moving towards March 8th and your kindergarten has announced a competition for the best DIY “Flowers” ​​craft. No problem. In this article you will be offered several options for making flowers with your own hands. This activity will be very interesting for your kids. In addition, this lesson will offer color options designed for different ages, starting from the youngest. It seems that your child will want to make such a flower not only for a competition in kindergarten, but also for his beloved mother, grandmother, sister, etc. And what could be nicer than a gift made with your own hands.
And so we move on to some options for making flowers and their brief description.

To make flowers, depending on the option chosen, you will need one of the following tools and materials:

  • colored paper;
  • glue;
  • scissors;
  • plasticine;
  • ribbons;
  • plastic bottles;
  • cotton pads;
  • juice tubes;
  • paints, etc.

1. The first option involves making flowers from plasticine. This is a very simple craft that can be completed very quickly even with the smallest child. Flagella are rolled out of brown plasticine, from which a twig is formed. The twig is glued to a sheet of paper. Small circles are made from yellow plasticine and glued onto a branch, thereby forming flowers. Also, the inscription “Happy March 8th” is made from plasticine and glued to the bottom of a piece of paper.

2. The second option is to make flowers from ribbons. Flowers made from folded ribbons and petals, which are also made from ribbons, are glued onto a sheet of paper. To decorate the bouquet, a bow is glued, and foam balls are used for flowers.


3. The next version of flowers is proposed to be made from colored paper. A sheet of green colored paper is folded like an accordion and spreads out into a fan. Flowers, also made of colored paper, are glued onto it. These can be tulips, daisies, lilies of the valley. In general, any flowers that you have enough imagination for.


4. To make this color option you will need a plate with grooved edges, woolen thread and colored paper. The thread is wrapped around the edges of the plate, without going into the middle, in the form of a cobweb. Flowers cut out of paper are glued to the center of the plate.


5. This option involves using the following materials to make flowers: juice tubes, flowers made of colored paper, part of an egg package painted green, flower leaves cut out of colored paper. The tubes are inserted into the egg packaging, the leaves and the flowers themselves are put on the tubes. The upper part of the tube is cut in a circle into small strips, thereby forming the pistils and stamens of flowers and thereby preventing the flowers from falling from the tube.


6. In this version, you need to cut out a mug and flowers from colored paper, stick flowers in the mug and on the mug to decorate it.


7. This option also involves using colored paper. The inscription “Happy March 8th”, as well as flowers and leaves, are cut out of colored paper. At the same time, when cutting out letters and flower petals, the paper must be folded in half and not cut all the way. Then only one part of the letter and only half of the petal are glued to the paper, and the second part of the letter and petals are opened, thereby creating a three-dimensional picture.


8. This option for making flowers from colored paper is also suitable for little ones, because... it's quite simple. A rectangle is cut out of colored paper and folded in half. A square is cut out and glued to the bottom edge of the rectangle folded in half, but not in the fold area and only on three sides. The top edge of the square is not glued. Then circles of various diameters and colors are cut out, as well as strips of paper, which are flower stems. Flowers are formed and placed in a pocket formed by a glued square.


9. The next three options are also simple and involve the use of only colored paper, from which all the necessary elements are cut out (flower petals, complete flowers, stems and leaves, mugs, vases, etc.). Next, these elements are either glued onto a sheet of paper (photo 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 18), or the composition is assembled from them (photo 10, 12, 14). When making a bouquet as in photo 12, take a sheet of green paper, fold it in half, roll it into a tube and cut it all the way around into thin strips from the fold of the sheet and not all the way to the end. Making flowers as in photo 13 involves making flowers directly from scrap materials such as buttons, parts of flowers from artificial flowers available at home, and cups from candy.







10. This option for making flowers involves the use of plastic bottles. In this case, the flower itself is cut out from the bottom of the bottles, the neck serves as a stand, and the stem and leaves are cut directly from the rest of the bottle. The stem can also be made from a cocktail straw. Watercolor paints are used to give flowers a more colorful look.




11. Take a plastic cup and decorate it with colored paper. A flower is cut out of colored paper. A button is used for the center of the flower. The stem of the flower and the leaves that hang on the sides of the glass are cut out. The flower is placed in a glass and filled with whatever you have. This could be shavings, foam balls, etc.


12. A heart is cut out of thick paper and sewn around the edge with thread. Flowers in the form of roses are made from cotton pads and attached to paper or glued with a stapler. Stems are formed from green tissue by twisting the flagellum, petals are cut out and glued to the heart. A bow is made from packaging tape and the bouquet is decorated.


13. To make these flowers you will need ribbons. The stems and leaves of flowers are formed from green ribbons by cutting out narrow strips, twisting them and folding them into a flagellum. The flowers themselves are made from yellow ribbons by winding them into a ball and gluing them. Some fluff up, some stay that way.
