As a gift for the spring holidays or just for the mood, the application “Dandelion” made by the child will give a lot of pleasure and positive for both the baby and his parents. This article will examine in detail how to complete the original craft and what tips should be resorted to during the creative process.
Materials to complete
To perform the original "dandelion" application you will need:
- blue color cardboard (or white, gouache painted in blue);
- colored paper in green, yellow and white;
- PVA glue;
- a simple pencil;
- scissors with rounded ends.
The application "Dandelion" can be made of the above materials or using yellow napkins instead of color cardboard.
Step by step execution
Step by step description of the application:
- First, the bottom half of the blue cardboard is sealed with green colored paper. If desired, you can paint the cardboard with green paint. Gouache is best suited for this, as it has a thick, dense structure.
- Now you can prepare the parts. First, from a yellow colored paper, it is necessary to cut a large circle and about ten thin strips. It will be a sun with rays.
- Then proceed to modeling dandelions. According to the number of planned flowers, it is required to cut circles of different diameters (1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0 cm). Each of them at the edges is recommended to “fluff”, cut “grass”. Such a large number of fringed details are prepared in order for the Dandelion appliqué to be voluminous. Clouds are randomly cut out of white paper.
- Next, the paper application is collected on the basis. First, the sun is glued to the middle of the blue background. Then the clouds attach. And the last thing to go is the assembly of dandelions. At first, the green field is arbitrarily pasted over with the largest circles without fringe along the edge. Then fringed circles are taken and glued on top. Fringe does not need to be attached. Then in the same way the remaining circles are glued in descending order of size.
- Now you need to finish the application. For this, the fringe of each dandelion must be raised, so to speak, to give the flower a shape. Dandelions will become voluminous and fluffy.
The Dandelion application is ready.
One of the modifications
This picture can be done differently. The application "Dandelions" from napkins - and there is this modification.
The work is done in exactly the same way as the paper application. The only change is the use of napkins instead of cardboard to create flowers. All circles for dandelions are cut out of napkins and glued as described above.
To increase the volume, you can use white napkins. They need to be crumpled a little and glued on top to white clouds already crumpled. The volume of wipes must be maintained. Such a change diversifies the usual craft, revitalizes it and makes it more interesting.
The application "Dandelions" made of paper is an interesting activity that can deliver a lot of joy and positive emotions to your baby
