Is it time for our kids to learn new material? For example, cotton wool and cotton pads. You probably noticed how a child likes to tear soft material into pieces and then throw them around the apartment. Perhaps to find application to these pieces and at the same time to occupy the child with creation of original crafts? Let's learn the art of applique together and create interesting crafts from cotton and cotton pads.
Cotton bunny
It is necessary to take three cotton pads , stack them in a stack and pierce with a stapler in the center. Then each disk is divided in half into two layers. In turn, all layers except the uppermost one rise up. They need to be squeezed a little at the paper clip. For the bunny’s head, two disks will be needed, which must also be fastened with a stapler and with the help of scissors cut a circle of smaller diameter in comparison with the body.
To create the ears, take two discs and connect them with a stapler in two places, then cut out two ears, each of which will have a paper clip in the center.
The lower legs are made in the same way as the ears. For the upper paws, disc remains are used. They are glued between the layers of the body with glue. Such original paper and cotton crafts can be a great Easter gift for grandparents.
Cotton Poodle
To create such a craft from cotton, first of all you need to prepare a model of a poodle from white cardboard. Then balls are rolled from the cotton. Try to show your child how to do it right. When the baby is tired, interest him again and help stick the balls to the workpiece. For this, PVA glue is best suited . First, glue the model of the dog on colored cardboard and let the craft dry a little. Now we apply glue to those areas where cotton balls will be glued. The glue should not spread, but its layer should be quite thick. Balls should be glued carefully one by one. To create an eyelet, a blank of cardboard is cut out, glued separately with balls and then glued to the main blank.
To make DIY crafts from cotton wool even more interesting, you need to decorate the poodle. First, you need to draw eyes, and you can also make a bow on the tail.
Flowers made of paper and cotton pads
Such simple crafts made of cotton and paper will be an excellent gift for various holidays and will simply make the children's room more colorful and unusual. To begin with, we cut out stems of flowers, grass and leaves from green colored paper. The very first on a sheet of cardboard you need to glue the stems, and then the leaves. After that, the grass is glued at the bottom of the craft in two stages: first you need to glue two grass elements next to each other, and then attach the third element on top of them. To create flowers, you need two or three cotton pads. You can use colored discs or pre-paint them with a brush and paints. Cotton pads are stapled or stapled in the middle. Then, with glue, they are attached to the base. After 10 minutes, you can carefully separate the disk layers in the same way as we did the bunny in the first example.
Such interesting crafts made from cotton, cotton pads and paper will look great on the shelves in the children's room, will be a good gift and will simply amuse your baby. After all, he is so pleased with your attention!
