Funny applique: animals in different techniques

All children like this type of needlework, like applique. Animals are in great demand in any technique. Paper volumetric models are used in games, a flat image increases the child's self-confidence, and tissue models not only decorate clothes, but also used as didactic material.

Classic type of applique

First, children get acquainted with the paper application. It can be flat, as well as voluminous. Small children attach cardboard to the details of the animal. For example, you can print out a template for coloring pages, cut the details, translate them to colored paper. Animals can be constructed using geometric shapes, which develops imagination in children.

The three-dimensional applique looks unusual . Animals from paper balls, strips, crumpled paper are of interest to children. For example, to make an elephant, on the cardboard outline an oval trunk. Glue the strips-legs. Take the paper more torso by two centimeters, cut off with a wide tail.

Mne, twist the tail, torso straighten, glue. Just do it, glue round ears, head with a trunk. On top decorate the grass (cut with thin strips of green paper). If you make an image with balls or stripes, then simply paste the template with colored elements.

Application from leaves: animals

Leaves are a fertile material for crafts. Collect on the fly, autumn a variety of natural material (seeds, leaves, ears, acorns, seeds, flowers), dry (like a herbarium or in sand), soak in glycerin. Leaves in the first way are very fragile, and glycerin gives softness, flexibility, but changes color.

Any application from leaves (animals, landscape, people, fish, birds) develops imagination, thinking, logic. The child learns more about the plant world, the properties of natural material, how to interact with it.

Here are a few options for the manufacture of rodents. For the mouse you need the leaves of birch, clover, karagacha, seeds of dill or flax, grass. Glue the birch leaf with the tail down (this will be the trunk). A small sheet of pint-weight without tail is placed on the trunk. Glue clover ears, and then head out of the karagacha. Seeds are used for the formation of eyes, nose, and grass is useful for mustaches. It turns the mouse into full-face.

If the head sheet is placed perpendicular to the body, the mouse will be in the profile. Accordingly, glue the paws, tail, ears, eye, nose. If necessary, adjust the shape of the sheet with scissors.

Tissue applique: animals

Tissue applications are often used as a decor of clothes, bedspreads, bags, rubber bands. The principle of work as a paper craft:

• Print a coloring template (for example, a dog);
• Cut the details;
• All the details are transferred to the fabric;
• Sweep the edges of the trunk;
• With soap, mark the location of the head, bones;
• Sew a suture seam bone to the torso;
• Then sew your eyes, eyebrows, nose;
• Then sweep the edges of the head, the bones;
• Connect all the parts.

The result was a three-dimensional application. Pets collected on a blanket, plaid, carpet, not only decorate a nursery, but also allow to expand knowledge about the animal world. The process can be simplified.

Choose the most basic templates, translate on one fabric entirely. Then you sew the animal to the flap, and then select the lines, parts of the muzzle with the same wrapping seam, changing the thread colors. Next, these squares with the application stitch with the main fabric. Note that the color of matter may not coincide with the coloration of the real animal.

Non-standard application

Try with the child to do different techniques. For example, an elephant made of felt in a geometric style (round head, oval eyes, rectangular tail and trunk, square bicolour ears, rhomboid legs, trapezoidal bicolour trunk).

Or draw an image of a duckling on cardboard. The eye, beak, paws should be glued from the seeds, and cover the head with the trunk with wheat. You can also make polar bears from dough, hares from semolina, hedgehogs of buckwheat or sunflower seeds. Even babies are attracted by the "cereal" applique "Animals".

How to make a craft from shreds?

Lay out all the shreds, according to the color scheme, determine the image of the animal. Make a pattern of paper and fabric, connect the pieces on the cardboard, glue the bottom layers, then top the parts. Draw a background, a frame.

For this technique, you can use a special imported fabric that does not crumble and is glued to the material with a hot iron. It is expensive, so you can train on a simple cotton.

Knitted applique

Knitted applique is attractive for needlewomen. Animals are bright, unusual, colorful. The image can be crocheted and knitted. The fastest option is to translate a whole pattern into a knitted fabric, trim it with a suture seam, cut off excess.

A qualitative variant is to find the scheme of the animal and bind it. But you can tie a crochet according to a pattern. For example, you tie a trunk, a collar, an ear, a tail, a stain, a dog's nose. Sew the details, embroider the eye, mouth, tie the edges.

Or here is a version of a step-by-step knitting of a mouse. Tie a circle to the torso. Connect the head and tail joints with pins. The last edge tie a column without a crochet, parallel tying the tail, reaching the head. Now on the marked loops knit circle, reducing the number of loops to the muzzle. You tie a round ear out of two colors, sew it to your head. Sew your eyes, nose. Thus, by connecting the circle in various places, you can get an owl, a chicken, a sparrow, a snail, a tortoise, animals' faces, and so on.

conclusions

Any application on the theme "Animals" will decorate the interior of the house, clothes, pillows, bedspreads, developing books and benefits. Just take into account the age, interest and abilities of the child, and also prepare the necessary material in advance.
