Napkin applications are a unique kind of creativity that will definitely appeal not only to children, but also to adults. Interestingly, it will be possible to create real masterpieces even without the use of scissors. In general, an application is called images that are made by gluing pieces of material onto the base. different color and invoices. It can be stones (including precious ones), fabric, sand, threads, shells and other options.

The most popular material for applications is paper. After all, it is she who is at hand for every master, absolutely safe even for the smallest creators, is inexpensive, but at the same time allows you to create real works of art. And it is most convenient to work with napkins. They are perfectly torn and kneaded into lumps, which fill the contours of the drawings of the future application.

Today on sale you can find napkins of various colors, which makes the creative process with them even more interesting and exciting. From multi-colored crumpled napkins, magical lumps are obtained from which it is very interesting to make the most different crafts. By the way, napkins are used to create paintings in other ways. In some cases, they do not crumple into small balls, but simply cut into pieces of the desired shape or twisted into flagella. Which option is better to choose, each master decides for himself. Often it depends on the desired pattern. So, with glomeruli and flagella, the craft is more voluminous.

By the way, I envy the current craftswomen with white envy - after all, they can easily find any information on the Internet. And I used to have my middle group I learned how to make applications from napkin balls for kids, went to a master class, manually wrote notes, and then other educators studied using my notebook ...

The discussed type of creativity has several advantages at once. Among them:

• development fine motor skills in the manufacture of applications from twisted napkins;
• great scope for creativity and creativity;
• the ability to work without scissors and other dangerous tools;
• development of tactile perception (if paper of different textures is used);
• the opportunity to start creating already with a 2-year-old baby.

Moreover, do not forget that the joint creation of any crafts unites children and their parents and helps family members to become even closer to each other.

Master classes of applications from napkins

Make it bright today beautiful crafts from the material under discussion will be possible even for a child without the help of adults. After all, there are detailed step by step master classes, which will tell you how easy it is to turn colored napkins into your favorite cartoon characters, lush bouquets or mouth-watering fruits.

rowan branch

The application “Rowan Branch” is obtained very beautiful and original. Interestingly, this napkin craft for children includes two techniques at once. The first part of the drawing is created from paper blanks., and the second - from lumps. Even a child over 5 years old will be able to cope with such an application. To create it, you will need the following materials and tools:

• sheet of paper (base);
• green or orange leaf napkins;
• red napkins for berries;
• color pencil;
• scissors
• glue.

First of all, a template is drawn on the basis - an image of a twig. It should be clear, so as not to get confused in the future, where to glue the various details of the craft. From green or orange napkins leaves are cut out and attached to that part of the picture where they should be located. Let such details be ribbed so that they resemble real leaves. By the way, at this stage, you can use napkins of two colors at once. For example, among the bulk of the orange leaves, stick a few green ones.

Berries are created from red napkins. Scissors are not required for this. You can simply tear off pieces from a napkin, form paper lumps from them and glue the parts in place of the intended bunch. The more berries there are on the craft, the more voluminous, realistic and interesting it will look. The formation of paper balls must be entrusted to the most junior masters. After all, this procedure perfectly develops fine motor skills.

Apple tree

There are many options for applications from napkins for children, which allow you to create beautiful lush tree on a sheet of paper. And thematic master classes will help them in this. The most interesting thing is to work on an apple tree. To create it, you will need the following materials and tools:

• multi-colored napkins (green and red);
• a sheet of paper for the base;
• simple pencil;
• brown felt-tip pen or paints of the same color;
• scissors;
• glue.

To begin with, a tree outline is drawn on the basis. If such voluminous application from napkins is performed together with the child, then you can simply circle his open palm. The area just below the wrist will become the trunk, and the fingers will become branches. Further, the future tree is completely painted over with a brown felt-tip pen or paints. It is allowed to use a colored pencil of the corresponding shade for this purpose.

When the base is dry, you can begin to form the leaves. To do this, green napkins are cut into small squares, after which each resulting detail is twisted in the middle into a flagellum. Finished "bows" are glued to the crown area next to each other. Let there be enough of them so that the top of the appliqué is lush and voluminous.

It remains only to decorate the resulting apple tree with fruits. To do this, you need to make a few lumps from a red napkin. Its parts can be cut off with scissors or simply torn off with your hands. Let the apples be large and bright. Such fruits will add beauty and originality to crafts. Fruits are glued on top of the "crown" in any chosen places. As you can see, for such an application from paper balls and flagella, 2 techniques for forming parts from napkins are also used at once.

To make the finished tree even more unusual, you can hide an owl in its crown. This surprise will definitely please the smallest masters. To create a funny bird no need to study a special master class. You can simply draw it on paper or cut out a suitable picture from an old magazine.

Squirrel

Making a squirrel from rolled napkins will be a little more difficult. This activity is more suitable for junior schoolchildren and older children. Can perform forgery together with adults to have a fun and exciting time with the whole family. And for those who decide to take on the creation of such an application, a thematic master class will help.

To make a bright beautiful squirrel using napkins, you will need to use the following materials and tools:

• white and orange napkins;
• a sheet of paper for the base;
• simple pencil;
• glue.

First you need to draw the outlines of the future squirrel on a white sheet of paper with a simple pencil. But this option is only suitable for artists with artistic talent. Everyone else can just print a suitable picture. For example, using a picture intended for coloring. They always have a clear bright outline and a snow-white base. If the squirrel in the picture is holding any object in its hands: a flower, a nut, a mushroom, then you will need to stock up on napkins of the appropriate colors to decorate them on the application. Or just color the corresponding part with colored felt-tip pens or pencils.

After that, you just need to tear off small pieces from the paper and roll them into tight balls. White details are suitable for decorating the lower part of the muzzle, tummy, tip of the tail and paws, and orange for the rest of the silhouette. It remains only to stick them in the appropriate areas of the picture. The larger the balls turn out, the more voluminous and “fluffy” the squirrel will end up being. The eyes and nose of the animal can be drawn with a black marker. What the result will be a protein depends only on the imagination and preferences of the masters themselves. By the way, such a red-haired beauty or any other character will be an excellent decoration for a homemade postcard. And if the napkin is cut into small squares, but not rolled into balls, but simply glued to the template in the middle, so that the tips stick up and form a fluffy squirrel fur, then this technique is called facing.

This wonderful carpet-picture the size of a Whatman sheet evokes admiration and surprise from everyone who sees them. It seems incredible that such complex compositions can be performed by children. It turns out that everything is possible. If you organize collective creativity correctly, then even preschoolers can cope with such work.

In order to complete the mosaic facing technique, colored corrugated paper is needed, or colored napkins, scissors, pencil and glue.

To make such applicationwe have gone through the following steps:

1. Draw a sketch applications« spring landscape» on paper.

2. From stripes corrugated paper cut into squares with a side of about 3 cm.

3. Squares must be turned into colored balls by rolling between the palms (children at this stage are the most the best helpers) . At the same time developing fine motor skills of children's hands.

These are various figurines, delicate compositions from openwork napkins, as well as a lot of options for napkin applications for children of all ages.

For the smallest children 2 - 2.5 years old, simple plots are suitable - a flower, beads. At this age, the main thing is to acquire the initial skills of working with the material. But older children - from 3 years old - are already quite capable of coping with more difficult work - a rowan branch, a snowman.

For older children, at the age of 4 - 5 years, images of insects, animals, more complex flower arrangements are suitable for creativity.

Spread the cardboard with glue, glue the legs and glue the balls of napkins on top. Cut out a head from beige cardboard, draw a mouth and eyes with a felt-tip pen or pencil.

Video: How to make beautiful flowers from paper napkins with your own hands?

Today I want to bring to your attention a very simple master class for children from 3 years old and older - an application of twisted napkins. This is the easiest job that you can do with your child using this technique. Application from twisted napkins is a rather exciting activity and, moreover, very useful for the development of children. This type of creativity contributes to the training of fine motor skills of children's hands, the development of color and tactile perception, stimulates the imagination, forms an interest in applications and in working with paper.

This application can be made on absolutely any drawing you like, the main thing is that the details of the drawing are not small and there is enough space for gluing balls from napkins.

For work we need:

1. Album sheet of A4 format or a finished outline drawing of a future application;
2. A sheet of thick A4 cardboard;
3. Napkins of different colors or corrugated paper;
4. PVA glue;
5. Scissors;
6. Wooden frame.

For applications from twisted napkins, ordinary multi-colored paper napkins are used, which are in almost every home or corrugated paper (you can buy it at stationery stores), but it is best to combine both, since corrugated paper has a much larger color scheme than napkins.

First, let's prepare the basis of the application: on an A4 landscape sheet - draw any large drawing, if possible, you can download a drawing for coloring from the Internet and print it on a printer. We'll take a picture of a butterfly. The drawing of our butterfly can be printed from here .

We paste a sheet with a pattern on a suitable size, pre-prepared thick cardboard.




While the base dries, we prepare napkins and corrugated paper for work.

We cut the napkins into equal small squares, then twist each square with our fingers into a ball. There should be quite a lot of these balls!

The resulting balls are glued to all parts of the picture with PVA glue. Glue balls of different colors on different parts of the butterfly wings. The antennae and torso can be painted over with a black felt-tip pen or pasted over with black corrugated paper balls.

The final decoration of the panel depends on the child's imagination: depending on the subject, the work can be decorated natural materials, threads, shells, shavings, pasta and so on. Separate details of the composition can be made of colored or velvet paper.

In our case, we also decided to cover the background around the butterfly with napkin balls.

It turned out such a motley butterfly! If desired, the work can be placed in a regular wooden frame.

I am sure that such a spectacular do-it-yourself painting will organically fit into the interior of any children's room or become original gift for relatives and friends. But the most important thing is that in the process of work, the kids will get a lot of fun and positive emotions, and this is the most important thing! Good luck to everyone and creative success!
