Applications can be made from almost everything that comes to mind and comes to hand. An interesting application for Mother's Day can be made of paper, paper napkins and candy wrappers.
Workflow preparation
In order to make such an application, you will need:
- colored paper;
- album sheet or cardboard sheet;
- white paper napkins;
- candy wrappers;
- hole puncher;
- paints;
- tassels;
- glue;
- scissors;
- clear nail polish.
If there is no colored paper, you can do with white sheets and with the help of paints make paper of the desired colors from them. An album or cardboard sheet is needed as a substrate. If there is no thick paper, you can glue together two simple sheets.
It is important to decide what will be depicted in the craft. An application on the theme: “Mother’s Day” is usually either a flower or a butterfly, but you can depict anything — a fish, a bird, and a sprig of lilac. The main thing is that the details are not too small, otherwise the work will turn out to be difficult, it will require a lot of effort, time and perseverance.
The basis of future crafts
First of all, the foundation is being prepared. The background of the substrate should preferably be light, but this is a matter of taste. On the substrate, they draw thin lines with the outline of what they are about to portray.
The necessary details are cut out of colored paper - it can be a stalk and flower petals, butterfly wings or other elements of the applique. Now everything needs to be glued to the substrate.
Paper napkins
Napkins need to be torn into pieces with a diameter of about 1 cm and crumple them. But crushing to dense balls is not necessary. To paint the resulting little loose lumps with different bright colors. Or, if convenient, you can color the paper before tearing it.
It's okay that the paper gets wet through, you just need to let it dry (so as not to lose time while the wipes dry, you can do candy wrappers).
Now we paste the dried-up pieces of multi-colored napkins into the necessary places on the applications. They can be placed on the specks of butterfly wings, used for flowers. You can design them as a background of flying salutes. Or even put the whole flower out of them.
For example, a very beautiful application for mother's day will turn out if the whole branch of lilac is decorated with such lumps of napkins painted in lilac color. One lilac lump is one flower, and lilacs have a lot of them. Accordingly, they need to be glued in large quantities, close to each other.
Fantasy as a material for crafts
Sci-fi should not be too thin, otherwise it will not work to punch them with a hole punch. But they can be any: shiny, multi-colored, wrappers from chocolates, but anything, if only they were bright and colorful.
Now it’s the hole puncher’s turn, but before you start working with it, you need to open and shake out all the garbage from it. If the candy wrapper is still too thin and nothing works, you can try to fold it into several layers. You must make at least 40 holes. Now you need to open the hole punch and get the resulting "confetti" out of it.
If there is no hole punch at hand, you can use scissors. With their help, cut candy wrappers into pieces 3 mm in size. Then the resulting confetti will not be round, but square.
For example, you can decorate with such confetti the place of application on which there is a vase with a flower, or use it to decorate other areas. The application for the holiday Mother's Day should have its own zest. It can be a signature: “MAME”, made using the resulting confetti.
It is better to attach these spangles with the help of colorless nail polish, as ordinary glue will not hold them for a long time. It is not recommended to apply varnish immediately to the entire surface, because it dries very quickly. So you need to apply the varnish sequentially, in small patches, and immediately sprinkle confetti on this patch. Press slightly on top with your fingers, and shake off excess ones. If in some place it doesn’t stick, you need to touch the brush with varnish again and attach a couple of sparkles again. The application for Mother's Day is ready!
Conclusion
The main thing is desire. After all, to get the most beautiful application for Mother's Day, it is important to come up with a picture. And to make it beautifully is the second thing, for this you can use any materials at hand.
