What is this mysterious volume application? Why is she so loved by those who at least once tried to make her? Very simple! This is an amazing pastime and a unique result! In addition, it is better to engage in the manufacture of such crafts with your child. And who is better than children to appreciate the opportunity to tinker in the same company with mom, while using glue, paper and a bunch of scraps ?!
What materials will be needed
Voluminous paper applications require materials that are likely to be in every home for their manufacture.
- Colored paper. If the house has children, it means that there are also several crumpled packages of paper. And you can endlessly remind you of the need to fold it carefully - nothing helps ... But this one will do for us.
- Scissors. Ideally, we need both large ones, for paper, and small ones. They are convenient to cut small details. But if necessary, you can do it alone.
- Glue. For the manufacture of paper applications, we will use ordinary stationery glue. If you plan a version of crafts made from fabric, then it is better to choose glue for the fabric. For example, "Moment".
- Filler. It can be thread trimming or cotton wool.
- Cardboard or heavy paper.
Volumetric application. Manufacturing technique
Let's talk about the sequence in which such an applique is made. We choose the basis on which our applique will be mounted - it can be cardboard or a dense album sheet. If you are not satisfied with the color of the base, then you can offer the child to pre-stick a sheet of colored paper on it or paint it with watercolors or gouache the night before. If the baby has chosen the option of painting, then thoroughly wash the child, the surrounding objects and dry the painted paper.
Then cut the workpiece. Let's say we decided to make a field of dandelions. Take a few ordinary paper towels. We will need bright yellow and white napkins. It is necessary to fold each napkin from the initial state in which it was in the package, two or three more times, and then fix it in the center with a stapler. Cut out a circle with a jagged, as if jagged edge. Next, very carefully raise the napkin layers sequentially to the center. We have a charming dandelion head. We make both yellow and "old" - white - flowers.
Then, from green colored paper, we cut out the stems and curly leaves for our dandelions. It only remains to stick them on our blank, and the volume application is ready!
What can be done in such a technique?
Using a technique called volumetric applique, you can make great gifts for all relatives and friends. In addition, you can lime a huge amount of unnecessary scraps of fabric and the remains of colored paper in order to make applications. Crafts made of paper and shreds will surely appeal to grandparents, aunts and uncles. The main thing is that you will do them with your child. Gifts that are made with their own hands are much more valuable than those that were simply bought at the store, because a piece of the soul is enclosed in them!
