In many countries of the world, all women, regardless of social status and age, are happy to celebrate March 8th. And people, surrounded by representatives of the fair sex, strive to make this day even more enjoyable for them. So, husbands congratulate their wives with flowers, brothers-sisters - with small surprises, and children for their mothers and grandmothers make applications for March 8 with their own hands. At the same time, gifts made on their own deserve the greatest respect, because the child puts his whole soul into them.
Materials and Tools
Before you start making any crafts or applications for March 8, do-it-yourself need to collect all the necessary tools and materials. Among the main ones, it is worth noting the need for cardboard, preferably white and color, scissors, a simple pencil, colored paper, standard white sheets, glue and napkins for wiping hands and products. If you plan to make voluminous children's crafts by March 8, then in addition to the materials listed, you will need wire or wooden skewers for flower stems, a green teip tape, plastic cups in yellow and red colors, corrugated paper in several colors - green, brown, yellow, red, purple.
Of course, the child will not use all of these materials at the same time, but it is important that they be at his fingertips in case he wants to make several crafts for a gift to his mother.
"8" for crafts: template
Since we are talking about various applications, postcards and other crafts that children prepare for their mothers, grandmothers and aunts as presents on March 8, you simply cannot do without a template for making the main figure of the holiday. For this purpose, it is best to use ordinary cardboard, and then trace the craft along the contour, putting it on a sheet of colored paper, directly during the manufacture of the application by March 8. Patterns of eights do not have to be in the hands of every child, they are quite a few per group.
For the manufacture of "8" it is necessary to fold the cardboard in half, on one side from the edge where the bend takes place, draw half the number, which should consist of an external and internal contour. Next, cut out the template and flatten it. Thus, we get a figure of eight, which will facilitate the further work of children during the manufacture of the application for March 8 with their own hands. The figure eight cut out of color paper can be tied in the middle with a ribbon so that the finished craft looks more interesting. This figure can be glued on a card, and on vases with flowers, and on many other crafts by March 8.
Chamomiles for a card
Chamomiles are one of the most delicate and beautiful flowers, which is why they are perfect for making applications for March 8th. It will not be difficult for a child to make templates for them, since each baby has repeatedly seen this flower.
To make daisies, you will need to draw a flower with a lot of long and narrow petals on a white sheet of paper folded in half, it is important that they do not touch. Then cut the daisy along the contour, having received two blanks. There will be five such daisies, preferably of different sizes.
Folding cards by March 8
When sticking on a card, daisies will need to be put on top of each other to give the flower volume. In this case, the finished application for March 8 will have a more original look. The card also provides for the presence of a figure eight, cut out of bright paper according to the above pattern, 5 yellow circles to form the middle of the flowers and 5 leaflets cut out of green paper.
Next, a sheet of colored cardboard must be folded in half, glued on the top eight, next to it from different sides, slightly covering it, daisies, and to them already - leaflets. In order to make the card look more interesting, the edges of the middle and leaflets should be slightly cut with scissors.
Bulk paper application
Due to the fact that at the beginning of spring all the flowerbeds in our latitudes are “gray”, an application “March 8” made of paper, represented by voluminous colors, can be an excellent choice. To do this, from colored double-sided sheets, you will need to cut many petals, round at the top and pointed at the bottom. The leaves should look similar, only green paper should be used for their manufacture. For stalks you need to twist the flagella from corrugated paper.
Each flower should consist of 5 petals. In order for them to look voluminous, each of them should be folded in the middle at the base and glued, and then placed in the appropriate order on the base and glued. Draw the middle of the flowers with contrasting paint. Stick on the stems and leaves, after folding them in the same way as the petals. So the application is ready for March 8! A card with voluminous flowers will surely appeal to the mother or grandmother of the child, while not requiring too much effort from him.
Mimosa sprig: corrugated paper craft
A mimosa twig made by a child from corrugated paper can be a great present for mom. To do this, you need to draw the contours of a branch on a cardboard of any color except green and yellow. So that children can do this, you can show them a picture of a plant or draw it on a board.
Next, from a corrugated paper, it is necessary to cut a three-centimeter strip with a length corresponding to the length of the drawn branches. The strips must be twisted in the form of a stalk. Then, on the one hand, each of them should be smeared with glue and fixed on the contours of the drawn branch. You should start with the main one, and end with the smallest ones that are present in the application by March 8. With your own hands, you will need to cut out 4x4 cm yellow squares from paper that you need to roll into balls. These are mimosa flowers. Each finished ball must be smeared with glue on one side and glued to a twig, forming a composition.
What is mimosa without leaflets? After all, the application “March 8” will turn out incomplete. The senior group of kindergarten will easily cope with this task. After all, all that is needed is to cut out wide leaves, make their edges serrated and stick at the base of the branch. At the final stage, you need to make a frame. To do this, it is necessary to cut out two-centimeter strips from pasteboard contrasting with respect to which is the main background, and stick them around the perimeter of the finished picture.
Craft on March 8: a bouquet of lilies
By March 8, children's crafts can be presented in the form of not only flowers glued to the base, but also whole bouquets placed in a vase. One of the most interesting and easy to make are lilies. In order to get the petals of this flower, the child needs to place his palm on a white sheet of paper and, with a simple pencil, circle it around the outline and then cut it out. It is assumed that the bouquet will consist of three flowers, respectively, such details will need three. To get the middle of the lily, a long strip should be cut from a yellow plastic cup. It should be narrow in the middle and expand to the edges.
From green colored paper you need to cut long and wide leaves. For each flower, 2 leaves will be needed, that is, there should be 6 in total. To get the stem, wire or wooden skewers should be wrapped with tape.
Folding lilies in a bouquet
So, we proceed to the assembly of the bouquet. On the upper end of the stem, it is necessary to fix the middle of the lily with glue and wrap a palm print cut from white paper around it. If you want to get a magnificent flower, then there will be two such prints. Slightly below the middle of the stem should be glued on both sides of the leaves. As a vase, you can use a plastic cup, turned upside down. Ready lilies should be stuck in the bottom of the cup. Thanks to this, the craft will be stable and can always please the eye.
