Colored paper hedgehog application: how to make?

If your child likes to cut and glue panels from cardboard or multi-colored blanks, he will definitely like the application “Hedgehog” from colored paper. Suggest sticking the parts cut out according to the printed or drawn pattern or to perform the elements yourself, for example, using the quilling technique or any other.

Materials and Tools

In order for the child to get a beautiful application “Hedgehog” from colored paper, prepare the following:

• base for crafts, such as colored cardboard;
• template with the image of a hedgehog (natural or cartoon);
• colored paper (usual for children's art or corrugated);
• scissors (possible with curly blades);
• glue.

If the work will be done by a small child, an adult should prepare all the paper elements. Older children can circle a contour according to a given stencil and cut blanks on their own. Thus, you need to plan a lesson in accordance with the age of the child.

How to make a hedgehog app by pattern

The easiest option for children's creativity - sticking on the model.

The sequence of joint creativity with the baby is as follows:

1. Find a suitable image on the Internet. It should be simple, but colored, better designed specifically for such work.
2. Print the blank.
3. Draw or print a contour image of the drawing on the sheet where you will stick the parts.
4. Cut all the required workpieces from the first sheet. The same is easy to do from sheets of colored paper, if you did not print the template.
5. Stick the elements sequentially on the base. If the images were printed on thin paper, it is better to use a glue stick so that the paper does not get wet and does not warp, and paints do not accidentally spread out.

The application “Hedgehog” from colored paper can be beautifully framed. If there is no wooden blank and glass (this is the best option for a flat panel), use an additional sheet of cardboard or paper of white, brown or other suitable color of a larger size. Stick the work done on top. If the desired sheet is not, use any of which you can cut strips. Glue them on the front or back of the sheet.

Application "Hedgehog in the autumn forest"

A very unusual panel can be easily obtained by creating a three-dimensional or relief effect.

There are several options for manufacturing volumetric parts. For example, it is enough to cut several circles from corrugated paper, fold them one on top of the other, and glue them in the center and cut along the perimeter of all the blanks with a fringe, glue them to the right place.

The application “Hedgehog in the Autumn Forest” will look good with the use of quilling elements.

In this way, it is easy to collect both the surface of the fur coat of the main character and craft the environment - trees, leaves, mushrooms. The work is done like this:

1. Cut colored (preferably double-sided) paper into strips about 5 mm wide.
2. Twist from them dense preparations, using a toothpick (or a special tool). Leave parts tight or slightly untwisted. Glue the free end of the strip to the previous layer. Form the necessary configuration of the workpiece.
3. Do all the details.
4. Stick them tightly to each other or arrange them at a distance.

How to make a volume application

Another way to make a embossed hedgehog is this:

1. Cut a rectangle out of colored paper.
2. Fold the blank in the form of an accordion, having previously drawn with a pencil on the ruler the guide lines of the folds located at the same distance;
3. Cut the corner of the folded accordion.
4. Expand the part. From the side where the corner was cut, beautiful cloves turned out.
5. Glue the blank on the base where the coat of your hedgehog should be.
   

Corrugated paper applique

Another bright autumn applique "Hedgehog" can be made of this pleasant to the touch and varied in color gamut material. The sequence of work is as follows:

1. Take a sheet of cardboard on which you will stick the details, and draw on it the contours of the proposed objects (the hedgehog itself and, if necessary, others - fungi, trees, etc.).
2. Make stencils of blanks of paper or cardboard to draw contours on them on a corrugated sheet. This is especially true when working with an organized group.
3. Cut the necessary blanks into stencils from corrugated paper of the corresponding colors.
4. Glue them on the base. In this option, it is better to use glue stick so that there are no traces on the paper and so that it does not get wet.
5. Cut stripes of 1 to 2 cm wide from black, gray or brown paper, depending on the size of your hedgehog.
6. Scissor cuts along one of the long sides of the resulting tape.
   
7. Now you can immediately paste the prepared "needles" in layers onto the hedgehog, where its prickly fur coat should be. If the child has enough patience or adults are ready to help, you need to pre-wrap each small “needle” on a toothpick or piece of wire so that a voluminous twisted part is formed, like a real needle. So the hedgehog will turn out to be more natural and realistic, but it will take more time for such work. This option is more suitable for younger students who are rather assiduous.
   

Thus, the application “Hedgehog” from colored paper can be performed using different blanks and even grades of material. Choose the option with which your child is easiest or most fun to work with.
