Step-by-step process of making cactus applique

1. Choose a yellow sheet of thick paper for the background. A4 format. You can use a sheet of yellow cardboard.

2. Cut out the templates.

3. Fold a sheet of green paper in half, apply templates to the fold and cut out 4-5 pieces of each detail.

4. Cut out thorns for a cactus from red paper - very thin stripes (slightly pointed to one edge) 1.5-3 cm long.

5. We begin to glue the cactus from the bottom tier. To do this, take one largest part of the cactus, grease half of its outer side with glue, glue 4-5 needles on it and glue the other part of the petal on top.

6. By analogy, we glue all parts of the same size, gluing needles between them.

7. Similarly, glue all the other elements of the cactus. It turned out five shoots of a cactus with needles.

8. Glue the branches to the background, connecting them together.

9. We are making a blooming cactus, so we move on to making flowers. Cut out 4 red flowers using a stencil. Flowers can be of other shapes.

10. Fold each petal in half lengthwise - the petals become "alive", they rise up.

10. Glue the ready-made flowers to the cactus sprouts.

Helpful advice. You can plant a cactus in a pot. To do this, you will first need to cut a pot out of colored paper, for example, in the form of a trapezoid.

Application is a fascinating form of artistic creation. Applications are made from paper, fabric, leather, felt, plasticine.

Children love applique classes, because they get a bright, beautiful picture without any extra effort. Craftsmen use appliqués in fabrics, knitting and embroidery. They are used to decorate clothes, bags, decorative items.

This application is simple, available for middle-aged and older children.

Target: make an applique of colored paper for a gift to mom or grandmother.

Working on a craft trains paper cutting skills, the ability to use scissors, develops artistic taste and teaches to distinguish between colors.

Materials:

Step-by-step instruction:

1. First you need to cook background for picture... Let's take two colored cardboard rectangles of different colors. Place the large sheet with the colored side up. We smear the smaller rectangle with glue on the inside and glue it on a large sheet so that a frame from a large one is formed around the small sheet.

2. In this frame you need to stick a vase of colored paper... Kids cut out a vase of colored paper, drawn by the teacher, or draw a vase according to a template, and then cut it out. Older children themselves make a symmetrical vase from a sheet of paper folded in half.

3. The vase is glued at the bottom, in the middle of the prepared frame.

4. To make the flowers beautiful and voluminous, you need to make each of them from five flowers of different sizes. You need to prepare five templates of different sizes.

5. Cut out 5 flowers of the same size... Flowers can be different in color, then we make five flowers of one rose of the same color, but of different sizes. We bend the petals of each flower, helping ourselves with or without a ruler. We fold the petals in a pyramid, starting with the largest one, arrange them in a checkerboard pattern so that they look like roses or peonies. We glue them together.

6. Glue the resulting flowers on the picture, placing them harmoniously on it. Cut out sharp small green leaves from a paper strip and glue between them. Kids can draw and cut out the leaves according to the template.

Making flowers from colored paper

Flowers of different shapes need to be cut in different ways:

From all the cut out elements, we compose and glue on the background sheet a composition of flowers, stems, leaves and grass in the form of a bouquet or meadow. You can make a symmetrical butterfly, bee or bug. The painting will look complete.

The volumetric applique looks beautiful. Children still do not know how to draw well, and applique is an easier way for them to create, so they are happy to do it and enjoy the results of their work.

The simplest volumetric applique.

Cut 6 - 8 identical petals and two long green leaves. We bend each petal in half, form a flower, glue the petals to the leaf with one side, glue the middle in a different color. We glue the stem. Cut out two green leaves, bend it in half lengthwise and glue it to the stem on one side.

To make the flower look beautiful and voluminous, we form it from several flat flowers glued one on one. The petals must be bent and staggered.

Paper flowers will be voluminous if you fold the paper rectangle like an accordion, bend it in half, round off the petals and form a flower from paired petals folded like an accordion. You will get flowers with petals - fans.

A voluminous vase must be made of accordion-folded paper. Fold a rectangular piece of paper so that one piece is three times the size of the other. Make an accordion, unfold. Most of the leaf is a vase, the smaller part is the base. We glue the upper most part at the extreme folds to the background. Bend it a little. We straighten the lower part like a fan.

Cut out the daisies, glue the middle and glue them on the stems. Glue the resulting daisies inside the vase to the base by the stalks. We do not glue the daisies themselves, we slightly bend them towards the viewer.

Volumetric applique bells from bags

Materials and tools:

  1. Colored paper.
  2. Scissors.
  3. Glue stick.

Step-by-step instruction:

By the same principle, you can make an applique from cornflowers..

Prepare a yellow background. Several circles of different sizes need to be cut out of blue, blue paper. Fold each circle, as for a New Year's snowflake. Cut out the lace petal of the cornflower, gently unfold and smooth. From the obtained blanks, fold the cornflowers into 1, 2, 3 layers: below are blue large flowers, above are light and small; then lay the flowers on a sheet and glue, and bend the openwork leaves.

Cut thin stems 11-12 cm and narrow leaves 6-8 cm from green paper.

Arrange the stems and leaves at random, glue them not completely, only at the base, so that they look voluminous.

It is useful to carry out applications of paper flowers with children, they teach them beautiful things, develop creative imagination, a sense of composition.

Applications are always exciting and interesting, so many children are happy to start creating such crafts.

  2. Cut out some green stripes. Set aside three of them for the stems, and for the remaining two or three pieces, fold the ends, forming small loops - chamomile leaves. Glue the ends.
  3. Now you need to make the buds themselves. Use a yellow paper circle for the core, and cut out a few thin white stripes for the petals. With each of them, you need to do the same work as with the sheets. After making the petals, glue their bases to the wrong side of the yellow circle. To make the parts stick evenly and get the same size, you can draw a smaller circle on the core and glue the petals along this line. In the master class, it is proposed to make three such flowers.
  4. Collect all the details into one appliqué. Per sheet cardboard glue the pot, place green stems with leaves in it, and then arrange the chamomile buds.

Piggy bank of applique workshops + interesting ideas

It is nice to know that different types of appliqués made by children, such as appliqué made from torn paper, or from corrugated material, are a good memory. Yes, and irrefutable evidence that our little ones have talent. The child is developing. And in this we help him.

Obviously the most beautiful appliques - paper flowers... Whether it's the simplest daisies pasted on a cardboard greeting card or gorgeous in wooden frames, they invariably delight those who are presented with such work. After all, flowers, even paper ones, always remain for us the standard of beauty, tenderness, and perfection.


Paper flower appliques

Colored baby paper flower appliques help toddlers create their first real picture. While the pencil still poorly obeys the fingers of young artists, and the paints merge into one large colored spot, cutting out of colored paper becomes a real find. Prepare sheets of bright paper for work, baby scissors with blunt ends, glue stick.

Explain that the main elements of a flower are the stem, leaves, grass and the flower itself, the inflorescence. Stems, grass, leaves are cut out of green paper, while the color of the material for flowers is chosen by the baby himself - which one he likes best. In order for the flower to be as symmetrical as possible, use cutting from a sheet of paper folded in half. For the simplest paper flower applique patterns can be easily found on the net. Having printed them on sheets of colored office paper, it will be easier for a child to cut, adhering to clear lines. Also teach the use of multi-layer elements that give the work advantages - stick the same, but smaller size on top of the flower, decorate the leaf with a small insert of a darker color. By the way, this way you can learn the correct color combinations. Prepare a few basic elements together and let your baby create a complete composition on his own.

You can build on your success by adding new elements to your work. For example, learn how to make appliqués with croup. In this case, the middle is laid out from buckwheat. On a sheet of colored cardboard or paper, draw an image of a flower - a large round center and many small petals. On the second green leaf, draw leaves and a stem, grass. We cut out all this with scissors, slightly twist the ends of the sunflower petals down to give the craft volume. Apply PVA glue in an even layer to the middle of each sunflower, and while it is not dry and covered with a film, pour a handful of buckwheat onto the surface. We simply sprinkle excess grains that will not stick from the sheet. But we must be sure that the buckwheat core will hold firmly, for this we apply transparent nail polish to the surface of the core, let it dry. Now all that remains is to glue the sunflowers and stems with leaves onto a sheet of cardboard. If you want to give the craft more volume, then glue a square of corrugated cardboard on the back of each flower and leaf, and only after that stick it on the sheet, you will get it.

But not only buckwheat can be used to decorate flowers collected in a composition. It all depends on the goal that you set for yourself, getting to work. If you need a beautiful work for the competition, if you are making a flower card, then you can decorate the middle of the flowers with beads or beads. Such work will surely attract attention, because the combination of jewelry and colors, even in applique, is a win-win option. In this applique, a flower made of colored paper is decorated with a small pearl in the center and this makes the most simple and ordinary daisies exquisite.


Paper flower applique

Spring tenderness is reflected in the next paper appliques. Flower snowdrop is beautiful in itself, but this one, which has become part of the spring composition, is perfect as a gift for mom or grandmother -.

For each flower in such a picture, you will need three petals. They are cut from white paper using an arrowhead-like pattern. Each petal folds in half lengthwise. You will also need stalks. They need to be twisted from green corrugated paper, rolling it between the palms into flagella. On a large sheet of cardboard - the basis of our picture, we glue a cardboard vase. Using paints, paint green leaves, a lush bouquet, placed in this vase. When the paint is dry, begin to glue the corrugated paper stems onto the green surface with glue. After that, we glue the petals, first the lower one, fold up, then the two upper ones, fold down. It remains to give our snowdrops a color, but it should be very delicate, by no means bright, so we will use wax crayons for coloring. We outline the edges of the snowdrops with blue chalk, draw the background behind the vase with yellow, add a little rich green - the picture is ready.

If cutters are not too fond of your child, then he will surely like making flowers for the next job. Such an applique is a combination of breakage and mint, since the leaves need to be created by tearing off green paper, and flower petals - from crumpled paper leaves - are ideal. We twist the stem from a sheet of green paper - just crush it into a thin sausage. We glue the stem on a sheet of paper. We cut off the green paper squares at the edges so that they resemble pink leaves in shape and also glue them on the sheet, on the sides of the stem. Squeeze a square of red paper to make a small lump. If you are using single-sided red paper, then make sure that the white wrong side in the lump is on the bottom and back and after gluing is not visible. We also place the roses on a sheet of paper and glue them. The final touch is to apply veins on each of the green leaves with a black pen.

Crafts made of corrugated paper are very delicate, airy. Even the simplest flower applique will look luxurious. From multi-colored paper we cut out simple flowers with round petals according to the template. We should have several blanks, which will differ from each other in the size and number of petals. Glue the largest workpiece first. Then we drip glue into the middle and glue a slightly smaller one. And so on until you have glued all the layers conceived. The middle for a flower can be made from a cardboard fringe, rolled into a roll.


Applique flowers from colored paper

Place on a holiday card such application of flowers from colored paper very simple, especially if you help the child. In it you can see a beautiful combination of classic applique and quilling technique - rolled paper strips.

To create double flowers, we will use quilling paper, cut it into strips about three centimeters wide. Each strip will need to be cut with a fringe on one edge. You will also need green and yellow quilling strips. You twist the yellow ones into tight rolls and glue them, and you twist the green ones in the shape of a rhombus (slightly dissolve the original circle, glue the end of the strip and align the corners with your fingers). Glue the fluffy strips onto a long thin strip and start twisting them to make such lush flowers. We fix each flower with glue and attach to the base. We make the stems from ordinary green stripes. Lay out the middle with yellow stripes, and make the leaves from green rhombuses.

It will be interesting for the child to depict not only flowers standing in a vase or blooming in flower beds. After all, in the spring, beautiful flowers bloom on the trees. It was the flowering tree that became the theme for the next applique. Take a sheet of white office paper, use wax blue crayons to draw fluffy clouds, cut them out of paper. We will also need squares of pink corrugated paper, which we will crease using the facing technique. If you have not yet practiced in it, then in a nutshell, we will tell you that trimming consists in sticking pieces of paper into the surface with a pencil or an inverted rod. Thus, an unusual volumetric texture is created. So, on a sheet of paper we glue the trunk and branches of a tree made of brown paper. Place the pink square in the palm of your hand, press in the middle with an inverted pencil so that the paper becomes concave. We drip glue onto the lower part and glue it to a tree branch. When all the flowers have found their place, you can complement your work with white spring clouds, green grass below, a butterfly made from a folded sheet of paper.

The facing technique in general helps us very easily create an effective paper applique. Flower patterns, complex schemes and techniques are not used here. There is simply a surface that is filled step by step with bright pieces of crumpled corrugated paper. If you do this work on paper, then use glue to fix it, and if your base is soft, for example, foam or polystyrene, you can embed the pieces with a pencil directly into the surface.


Applique flowers from colored paper

We continue to give new examples color paper flower appliques... Of course, the most beautiful works will always be voluminous compositions in which flowers and leaves are created in several layers, which makes them look very realistic.


Volumetric paper flowers applique

The first volumetric applique made of colored paper made in a manner that is more common: volume is given only to the flowers themselves, but the stems and leaves are made from simple strips of green paper. However, for beginners, such a craft is perfect.

The next application looks and becomes more complicated. And the flowers themselves are made from strips cut with fringe, and voluminous stems and leaves of flowers are made from the same strips.

The last work is a heart made of three scarlet roses using the paper-plastic technique. A heart is cut out of a cardboard base, decorated with openwork paper for crafts. A lot of squares are cut out of red corrugated paper, which we round on one side - we get pink petals. The very first petal looks like two connected to each other, we twist it into a cone, fix it with glue. Now glue the petals one at a time. Before that, each of the petals must be slightly straightened with your fingers and twisted inward with a pencil. It is necessary to arrange the petals on the bud in a checkerboard pattern. And be careful with the glue, there should not be too much of it. We place three ready-made roses on a stand in the shape of a heart, glue them to the surface with glue.
