The best gift will be a portrait of a mother with her own hands. Application allows you to create an image in incredible styles. Professionals make realistic portraits using magazine strips, threads, nails, buttons, corks and other material at hand. But with children, you can also practice in different techniques.
Application with drawing
Children love to draw most of all. And when the drawings become voluminous, there is no limit to children's joy. To create such a portrait, you will need the following material:
- paints;
- pencil;
- threads (floss, cotton, iris, fine wool);
- thick album sheet;
- Photo Frame.
With a pencil, draw a portrait of your mother in stages: first, an oval of the face, neck, shoulders. Then determine the place of the eyes, nose, eyebrows, mouth. You draw eyes with pupils, eyelashes. Remind the children of the nostrils, cheeks.
Then paint over your face with the color of your skin. To avoid blurring when painting small parts, color the background. Next, draw eyes, mouth, eyebrows with paints. Now go to the hair. To do this, wind the threads into a bundle, fix the skein of thread from one edge, cut the other edge.
The length and volume of the hair depends on the size of the skein. Glue the hair to the portrait, trim the ends. If the child wants to make a bang, then glue the pieces on the forehead, and decorate with a skein of hair.
DIY mom portrait: applique
To get full volume work, take cotton pads, cardboard, colored paper, glue, felt-tip pens. For the base, take white, beige or light pink cardboard (the color of the skin depends on its color).
With a pencil, slightly draw the borders of the face and neck. Then from the colored paper you cut out the “leaves” for the eyes and lips. Fold the resulting petal in half, so it is better to use double-sided paper. Attach details to the face, arrange cotton pads or cotton wool along the hairline.
Then adjust their position, stick. Felt-tip pen draw eyebrows, eyelashes, pupils, nose. Paint your hair with paints. From a colored paper, cut a sweater, glue it on paper.
It turned out an interesting application. The portrait can be slightly modified if the hair is made of paper. Cut three stripes equal to the bangs and tails. You cut each segment into thin strips of hair, scissor round them into curls, and glue them. Then decorate the portrait in a photo frame and hang it on the wall.
Application and rampling
Consider another way to make a portrait in a combination of applique and ramp. Draw on paper a complete portrait of mom to the smallest detail. First cut the outline, cut the same on the cardboard. This will be the basis where you will glue all the details.
Cut the hair from the sample, attach the part to the base, circle the lower border. Now you roll balls from napkins or tissue paper, stick them on your hair. From white paper you cut out your eyes like a leaf, from colored and black - pupils.
Glue the finished eye on black paper, cut off the strip, cut the cilia. Finished parts are placed on the portrait. Draw a nose, and cut eyebrows and mouth out of paper. Cut clothes out of fabric, glue on cardboard. It can be decorated with buttons, lace, braid. Glue the earrings and hair ornaments to the cardboard blank. Now glue the portrait completely on the cardboard and put it in the photo frame.
If you look at children's applications, you can find the same way to perform from different types of fabric and thread. That is, all the details are cut out of the fabric, glued, and the nose is drawn with paints or a marker. Eye pupils are made from buttons. But from the fabric you can make a bouquet of flowers, a hat, beads, which makes the portrait more vivid and unusual.
Unusual portraits
Teenagers will love the way to create a portrait of buttons. Select a photo, better zoom on the monitor, transfer to a fabric base (sold for paintings with rare weaves). With a pencil, draw all parts of the face.
Then sort the buttons by color and volume. Coat the fabric with glue, put on a cardboard base, glue the buttons. Choose a color scheme for the tone of the skin, eyes, eyebrows, hair. Buttons can be crushed, but in the handicraft shop you can even find millimeter ones. Frame out. Such works look foolish in the vicinity, but from afar the portrait of a mother with her own hands looks amazing.
Collage application also attracts attention. Professionals use color strips, pieces, snippets from magazines, newspapers to create a realistic portrait. But children can master this technique in a simplified form. It is enough to make a face and hair in any technology described above, and make clothes in the style of a collage (cut pieces of certain shades and stick to the right place).
Baby portraits of mom
Teenagers will appreciate another way of an extraordinary portrait - a silhouette carving. That is, the photo is literally cut out of paper. On a white or black basis, translate the image of your mother from a photograph. Next, with a pencil, clearly indicate the places that need to be cut. The meaning of this direction is that the portrait is created without glue using sharp scissors and a clerical knife.
Children can simplify this process. Circle the profile, cut it out of cardboard. Attach the template to black paper, circle it, cut it without damaging the base. Now you can do two crafts.
- On a black silhouette, also cut out the eye, mouth, nose, ear, use as part of the postcard.
- Glue the paper base with a cut silhouette onto cardboard of any color and glue all parts of the body from any material at hand.
Students have no difficulties with the design of these templates. Children's applications are so diverse that portraits always pleasantly surprise mothers.
Summarizing
All children want to surprise their mothers with the best gifts. Preschoolers are better off portraying a portrait in a combination of drawing and application. First graders can go to the collage. Adolescents may be interested in portraits, “clippings,” or button designs. By the way, instead of buttons, you can use beads, sequins, paper circles.
Professionals crochet portraits, embroider with a cross, satin stitch, beads and even weave on nails with ordinary sewing threads. Before introducing children to new technology, show them the work of the masters. This will expand their perception and give confidence. Then the guys will create an unforgettable portrait of mom with their own hands. Application, rampling, cutting, drawing, collage, blotography - these techniques will appeal to any child, and your family will receive an unusual gift for their birthday.
