===================================

CRAFTS FOR THE DAY MOTHERS from napkins.

Necessary materials for crafts from napkins for Mother's Day :- red cardboard sheet
- stationery glue pencil
- paper napkins (pink and white)
- narrow satin ribbon or braid
- scissors
- double sided tape
- simple pencil
- template in the shape of a child's palm
- yellow colored paper
- a sheet of white landscape paper

Step-by-step instructions for DIY napkin crafts for Mother's Day:
1.Draw a large heart on a sheet of red cardboard by hand, and then carefully cut it out with scissors.

2. Turn the heart over with the white side facing you, attach a template of a child’s hand to it and trace it with a simple pencil.
3. Take several white and pink napkins and cut them into four identical strips. Then cut each strip with scissors into squares measuring 3x3 centimeters.
4. Roll the napkin squares into lump balls, being careful not to press the paper too hard. The final round should be slightly fluffy, not hard. There is no need to wet the napkins with water during the manufacturing process.
5. Gently coat the drawn palm with glue along the contour and lay it out in snow-white lumps. Then fill the entire internal space with them. Place the balls close to each other.
6. When your palm is filled with balls, set the workpiece aside for a while so that everything sticks well. Then cut a piece of satin ribbon or braid of a suitable length and glue it to the top of the heart using double-sided tape. This is a suspension loop.
7. Grease the empty surface of the heart on the outside with glue and lay it out with pink lumps of napkins. Move from the edges to the middle and place the lumps as close to each other as possible so that there is no gap between them. Place the balls adjacent to the white palm especially carefully so as not to disturb the shape of the hand and fingers.
8. Take a white sheet from a regular sketchbook, draw a flower with petals on it with a pencil, cut it out with scissors, and glue a bright yellow eye in place of the middle. Twist the edges of the petals slightly and glue the chamomile to the heart.
9. Glue a handwritten or printed holiday poem to the back of the item.

A child’s creativity cannot be replaced by expensive gifts.

Features of creating crafts

Crafts for mom's birthday most often become the first children's gift. Such creativity begins with a simple drawing and an attempt to write a message to mommy.

With age, the desire to please a loved one becomes a need, and the search for an idea begins long before the event. Modern children get them from the Internet, but dad shouldn’t stand aside. He can unobtrusively support the child’s initiative and help in making a choice.

A birthday gift for mom - a craft or something else - can be very simple. It is important that it is made with your own hands. In production you can use paper, fabric, thread, plasticine, plywood, plastic. The combinations of their natural raw materials – twigs, leaves, etc. – look original.

Basic principles of creating crafts for mom:

Voluntariness. A child should never be forced to give a gift. The child himself must express such a desire, but helping him with this is the responsibility of an adult.
Independence. The child himself must choose the idea for the craft. Both the gift and the creative process should be liked, first of all, by himself.
A sincere desire to please my mother.
Individuality. The child will subconsciously add his own twist to the craft, which will touch the mother.
Color color. Bright colors give the gift a special festiveness and solemnity.
Size. The craft should not be made too large.
Sensuality. If the craft takes into account certain character traits of the mother, this will evoke special feelings in her.
Absolute safety and harmlessness to the child during the manufacturing process.

Ideas for children's crafts should be appropriate to the child's age. The simplicity of your baby’s crafts will evoke a special maternal tenderness and will remind her of this time for a long time.

Don't try to complicate them. In adolescence, on the contrary, one should highlight the abilities of a son or daughter (the ability to draw, sew, knit, cook, or simply a penchant for creativity). Mom can show off this gift to her friends

A birthday gift for mom - a craft or something else - can be very simple. It is important that it is made by hand

Paper crafts

One of the simplest, most accessible and common craft materials is paper. It can be easily processed and can be used by children of any age. White and colored, thin and thick, smooth and corrugated paper is used. You can make both flat and voluminous crafts from it.

Postcards

One of the simplest options for paper crafts is postcards. In this case, you can use different techniques depending on the child’s age and abilities:

Hand-drawn postcard. The range is wide - from the scribbles of a child to the small “masterpieces” of a novice artist.
Application. On a sheet of thick (preferably glossy) paper, you can create a picture by gluing various figures from colored paper, scraps of fabric, thin multi-colored plastic.
Volumetric postcards. Not only an applique can be glued to the surface of a thick sheet. A three-dimensional picture can be created by attaching beads, buttons, threads and ropes, twigs and various miniature, three-dimensional figures.
Volumetric opening card. Its essence lies in the fact that when you open a folded sheet of paper, figures rise in the center, creating a three-dimensional picture. The simplest option is done this way: a sheet of thick paper is folded in half, paper balls and various flat multi-colored figures, as well as a sign with congratulations, are rigidly attached to the fold line. Now, if you open the sheet, then all the fixed elements will rise vertically in the center.
Computer processing. Teenagers who are able to work on a computer independently can print postcards with the most original content.
Postcard photo. Using a family photo with a beautiful design will appeal to any mother.

Important! DIY postcards can be made in different ways.

The most important thing is to accompany any picture with congratulations and wishes, which must be sincere.

Origami

Volumetric paper crafts using the origami technique look very beautiful and are quite simple to make.

The following ideas may interest your child:

Fan. To make it, you will need a strip of thick paper about 100 cm long and 14-16 cm wide. On it, in a chaotic or specific order, multi-colored elements are drawn with a felt-tip pen - circles, lines, various geometric shapes, the sun, stars, etc. Whatever your own imagination suggests. The brighter the coloring, the better. An “accordion” is formed from the strip. Its edges are connected along the entire cut line, and a handle (for example, a popsicle stick) is glued at the junction. The joint can be reinforced with a strip of tape.
Flowers. You can use paper of any bright color. From a sheet of A4 colored paper, make a square along the short side, bend it in half, and then diagonally. The sheet unfolds and bends in half in the other direction, after which it folds into a double triangle. Both lower corners of the triangle are connected to its vertex. 5-7 pieces of such parts are produced. They are applied to each other until the flower is formed. They are connected together by carefully bending the leaf.
A colorful bouquet is made.

Modeling

A craft for mom can be made from plasticine or salt dough. If the first material is more suitable for little ones, then you can create from dough at any age. On their birthday, mothers often receive gifts from their sons made by modeling.

Plasticine can be used not only to create various figures. The original vase will be made from a bottle covered with plasticine. You can form various reliefs and ornaments on it. Using materials of different colors, it is possible to sculpt a bright pattern. One option for a vase is to cover a bottle or jar with plasticine “sausages.”

Once hardened, salt dough produces durable products. By adding simple dyes, you can create a masterpiece of any color. As an example, we can cite the process of making a three-dimensional still life in the form of a rowan branch:

Preparing the dough. Ingredients: flour (2 cups), salt and vegetable oil (1 tbsp each), water (0.5 cup). Instead of oil, you can add hand cream. The mixture is divided into 2 equal parts, red gouache is added to one, and green gouache is added to the other. Everything is carefully moved in 2 containers.
On a dark base in the form of a circle (you can use a flat plate) a small branch of any tree (birch, linden, etc.) is placed. It should not go beyond the boundaries of the base.
Elongated leaves are molded from green dough, which are glued to the branch one by one, and at the same time fasten it to the base.
Linear veins are drawn on the leaves in a thin stack.
Balls with a diameter of 5-7 mm are formed from red dough. A small cross-shaped pattern is made on the side to imitate a real berry.
The balls are placed in the form of a cluster and connected to the foliage.
Small branches with leaves are added.
After the still life has completely dried, using gouache of the desired color, the coloring is made brighter. To preserve the color palette for a long time, acrylic varnish should be applied on top.

You can make all kinds of figures and even beautiful paintings (panels) from the dough.

Interesting! Gift souvenirs with magnets that can be attached to the refrigerator are quite popular. In this case, you just need to place a small magnetic plate inside the dough figure.

From the dough you can make all kinds of figures and even beautiful paintings (panels)

Other ideas

Crafts for mom can be very different; the choice depends on imagination and the availability of available materials.

Sweet flowers

Delicious gifts can be made from round-shaped sweets in a wrapper. You will need paper (silver or gold), corrugated paper, wire, polystyrene foam, tin can, PVA glue, adhesive tape. Details for decoration - beads, ribbons, plastic leaves, beads, mesh.

Making a craft in the form of an unopened rose is carried out in several stages:

The core of the flower. It is made from candies that are wrapped in golden or silver paper over a candy wrapper. The base is firmly secured with wire.
Flower petals. Each petal is made of pink or red corrugated paper, and the top part is rounded. The core is completely wrapped into a petal. A total of 2-3 petals are laid.
The bases of the petals, together with the base of the core, are secured with wire.
A cup of leaves is made from green corrugated paper and secured to the base. Then the base is thoroughly coated with PVA glue.
The branches are made of wire wrapped in a green paper strip.
Several roses are collected into a bouquet.
The vase can be made from a tin can, beautifully decorated with corrugated paper.
A foam plastic disk is tightly placed at the bottom of the vase, into which the flowers are stuck. The space between the buds should be filled with green ribbons or mesh.

Delicious gifts can be made from wrapped round sweets

Heart made of coffee beans

A template is made from any paper. The outline of the heart is drawn on the sheet and carefully cut out.
Using the template, identical hearts are cut out of cardboard (2 pieces).
A wire is glued to one of the hearts, which will serve as a base.
Both cardboard blanks are glued together, and cotton wool is placed between them to create a three-dimensional figure.
The outside of the voluminous heart is covered with a layer of cotton wool and wrapped with thread.
The entire surface is painted brown to provide a uniform background. After this, coffee beans are glued to the canvas.
A tin can (from instant coffee) is used as a base, which is decorated with colored paper.
The wire extending from the heart is wrapped with tape or threads with sizing.
A sponge or foam plastic is inserted into the can base and the heart is fixed.

A heart made of coffee beans will not leave anyone indifferent

Balloon flower

Elongated balloons can be an excellent semi-finished product for making a gift flower:

A red balloon is inflated and the edge is secured to a knot.
Both ends of the ball are tied together with thread.
Exactly in the middle the ball bends and twists.
The resulting workpiece is divided into 3 equal parts and twisted in 2 places.
