DIY craft for Mother's Day - postcard. Description of the manufacturing process

1. Flower. From colored paper, cut a strip 4 centimeters wide. Notch it with a “fringe”, not reaching the edge of 5 millimeters. From paper of a different color, cut a thin strip (half a centimeter) and wrap it around the match. Secure the end with glue. From above, wind the fringed workpiece and glue its edge. Remove the match. Gently move the petals down with a match. The flower is ready. For one postcard it will be enough to make three such elements.
2. Leaf. From paper of green color cut a strip 1 cm wide, wind it on a match. Do not rush to glue the end of the part, let it “bloom” slightly. Fasten the edge. Press the resulting round spiral-shaped part in one place, forming the tip of the leaf. Perform a few of these items.
3. Postcard design. Fold the white sheet of paper in half. Inside the card, the child can draw a picture and an inscription. Glue flowers and leaves on the cover page.

So the postcard has been made - a wonderful do-it-yourself hand-made article for Mother's Day!

Each child will be able to make a container for flowers from improvised material. To make a vase, you will need a plastic bottle of yogurt, plasticine, cereals and seeds. How to make a small flower vase? Cut off the upper part of the container; we do not need it for further work. Oblitech the resulting cup with plasticine over the entire surface. From cereals and seeds, complete the decor. Most babies can fix beans, pumpkin seeds or watermelon. Older children from smaller products (buckwheat, rice, peas) can lay out ornaments. The vase is ready!

Flowers

It will not be good to present an empty vase for Mother's Day. DIY crafts, made in the form of a bouquet of flowers - this is exactly what you need! To make it, prepare:

• colored or wrapping paper;
• bright buttons;
• wooden sticks;
• PVA glue;
• scissors.

How to do the DIY do-it-yourself diy in the form of a bouquet of flowers: instructions

Fold a sheet of square paper four times, then a triangle. Cut the wide edge in a semicircle or triangle. Expand the part. The paper flower is ready. To make it voluminous, glue one or two of the same parts, smaller in size, on it. Attach a button in the center. Glue the stick-stalk on the wrong side of the product. It can be painted with green gouache. From the paper, make an oval leaf and attach to the skewer. Make three or more of these flowers with your baby and place them in a vase. A wonderful gift for mom is ready!

We hope that the presented workshops will help you and your children in creating beautiful products for Mother's Day. Easy and enjoyable moments of creativity!
