Lessons of Samodelkin: handmade crafts from an improvised material

Parents and children can not only confront each other as representatives of different generations, but also very fruitfully cooperate. For example, mastering together something original and interesting.

Cones, twigs, paper

Let's say you walked around the park and found a few cones, chestnuts. Take them home, at the same time picking up the branches from the tree (they are lying around the tree a lot - pinching off birds or breaking off the wind), twigs and generally such "garbage" that you might need. With the help of all of the above, you will get great crafts from your hand. And when you come home, carefully study the "catch". For example, you can make a fragment of a winter or summer forest. Let us dwell on the first option. Take a piece of cardboard of any shape. If the front side is white, give it an easy blueness with colors or a pencil. It will be snow. And if the cardboard is yellow or brown - paste the album sheet and paint it. The basis for your crafts with your own hands from the available material is ready. Now pick up the white plugs from the plastic bottles. Pierce them in the middle and insert the sprigs of the spruce bottom down. It will be trees. Plug the cork around the edge with the glue "Moment" or PVA and stick it in random order on the base. You will get the Christmas tree in the snow. Now we make a forestry out of cones. To do this, we insert the twigs into the place of the hands (turn the cone upside down), paint the cap-cap. You can paint a smile too. Now we also attach it to the cardboard. Either with the same cork, or carefully glaze the ends of the elbow with the glue and press them until they come to grips with the paper. And the last element of this crafts with your own hands from the handy material is to make a chest of wood for a tree-plant. To do this, with a sharp knife, cut the round part twice - there will be a handle. Carefully hollow out the flesh so that the "handle" does not tear. Here and there is a basket. Glue it. Everything, one version of handmade crafts from the handy material you made.

Cheerful Pigs

To prepare an original surprise for your relatives or kids, you can really take any improvised material. Let's say eggshells. It's easy to make funny piglets out of it. Only the condition: carefully pour the contents of the shell through a small hole so that the "capacity" itself remains intact. So, we will prepare 3 empty shells - they will make excellent children's crafts. From the handy materials that we can use, it's probably the most fragile. But also original. This means that the contents are released into the plate. Through the hole pour hot water with soap or dishwashing gel, shake to rinse the walls of the remains of the egg. Now insert a bundle of threads into the hole - it's a tail. The shell itself, paint with a pink varnish. And on the sharp end draw a cheerful muzzle. And so three times. Naf-Naf, Nif-Nif and Nuf-Nuf, right? Make them legs of plasticine. Here are such handicrafts from the handy materials, photos of which you see, are made quite easily and quickly, only your desire and imagination are important.

A little more creativity

And do you know how to make chasing from a tin tube from a cream or toothpaste? Cut off both ends of the container, cut along, open it. Wash, straighten. Then, with a pencil, apply a pattern from the "cover" side and interlock it with a knitting needle. On the shiny inner "metal" side, you get a chiseled design. Now make a cardboard frame and insert your "picture" into it. You can give it to someone or leave it to your memory.
