Application

To learn this kind of needlework, like hand-made articles from pasta and cereals, it is recommended to start small children with the manufacture of applique. To do this, you will need cardboard, PVA glue, cereals (buckwheat, millet, rice, peas and any others), macaroni of different configurations, pencils or markers.

On the cardboard draw a simple pencil contours of the subject or the plot composition. Discuss with the child what materials you will make out every detail of the picture. Then, starting from the top of the cardboard sheet, spread a small piece of paper with glue and sprinkle with one or another cereal, spread the pasta. So fill the entire composition. Carefully remove excess glue with a napkin. Cover the application with an even hard object (plastic or wooden plank) so that it does not curl up from moisture, and leave to dry. After that, paint with colored pencils or markers fine details on the composition, select the outlines. That's all. Such articles made of pasta and various cereals can become an original decoration of the children's room. They simply need to be fixed in a frame and hung on a wall or put in a conspicuous place.

Bijouterie

Crafts made of pasta (photo - a vivid confirmation of this) can be made in the form of carnival decorations - beads, bracelets, belts. Small needlewomen will like not only to decorate their image, but also the process of making.

For work you will need macaroni-feathers, gouache, PVA, thread kapron, needle. Paint the paint with water and glue until the consistency of sour cream and color all the macaroni.

Fasten the product with a knot - the beads are ready. Alternatively, you can change the sequence of this craft: first, string all the macaroni, fix, and then paint and dry.
