Application of thread or a wonderful transformation of scraps

If you do needlework, then in the house there will necessarily be small and unnecessary balls of old threads. It seems to be a pity to throw out, but at the same time, they are so small that it is impossible to tie them together. Even the finish is not enough. So these unattended remains of yarn lie for years. We suggest you use them for their intended purpose. You wanted to put them on the finish? It will be an appliqué of threads. Do you agree? Then we begin!

What is a thread application?

This is a very exciting activity for you and your children, which helps to free the apartment from unnecessary glomeruli and thread remnants. This is how you can have fun with children, eliminate yarn deposits and at the same time independently produce gifts for all kinds of holidays for friends and relatives.

Such an application can decorate a box for needlework or a spectacle case, put it in a frame and give it to relatives or make a funny card for friends. Everything is decided only by the availability of a handy material and a flight of fantasy! And in the rest you are not limited by anything.

What will it take to work?

Materials we will use the simplest and at the same time very affordable. After all, our goal is to use the most unnecessary things as efficiently as possible , and not to spend the family budget for the purchase of expensive consumables!

• The basis. It all depends on where our appliqué of threads will be located. If you plan a picture or a postcard, then a sheet of cardboard is enough. If you will make a box for needlework as a gift to a grandmother, then you need to find a suitable box. It is not important, it will be cardboard or plastic, just to fit the size.
• Glue. You can use a paper pencil glue to work with paper or a quality adhesive for working with plastic and cloth.
• Scissors, markers, paints. This all we need in the process of work.
• Threads. The more they are, the better. Although you can do only two - three shades. Quality also does not play a big role. Let it be mohair, wool, acrylic, roving. The richer the choice of shades and materials, the more interesting it will be to work.

Application of thread. How to do it?

In fact, the application of threads is done elementary. Prepare the thread and the base. If necessary, you can paint the background for a postcard or a picture with watercolor beforehand or paste colored paper. The box can be painted or wrapped very neatly with a cloth. Try not to have wrinkles and wrinkles.

Determine which pattern you will take as a basis. Can not you draw it yourself? Cut out of the magazine or print a suitable picture. Make a stencil out of it and circle or paste on the base.

Then spread the pattern with glue, cut the threads (about 0.5 cm) and allow further action for your children. Now their task is to glue thread cuttings on the drawing. And you just control the process and correct minor shortcomings.

Immediately make a reservation, it is not necessary to make applications of threads completely. You can make a piece of cloth or paper. For example, to collect a figure of a cat from a paper, and mustaches and brushes on ears from threads. The motifs can also be linked from threads, and then they can be glued to the base. But this is an activity for older children. Or you will have to knit yourself.

Be sure to ask your children to make some such crafts. They will certainly like it, and you will be very satisfied. Communication with the child is always a pleasure, and if it involves joint activities, then this is a double pleasure and benefit!
