Crafts on the theme "Button World" for the younger group of the kindergarten can be made in the form of a fairy tree. This does not require special materials or tools, there will be enough available tools and a little imagination. An adult makes a blank - the basis of a topiary, and a child decorates a tree with beads and buttons.
It is necessary
- - cardboard tube - 1 piece;
- - white cardboard - 1 sheet;
- - PVA glue;
- - hot melt glue;
- - scissors;
- - simple pencil;
- - bamboo stick;
- - jute rope;
- - wire;
- - design elements (ribbons, beads, buttons, beads, lace, etc.);
- - cotton wool (foam rubber or other filler);
- - pebbles.
Instructions
Step 1
Take a cardboard tube from, for example, toilet paper or foil.
Cut the tube to the desired length, then cut a circle out of the cardboard that is equal in diameter to the tube. Gently, using hot glue, glue the circle to the tube, closing it on one side. It will turn out to be a kind of keg.
Step 2
Lubricate this barrel with PVA glue on the outside and cover it with jute rope, winding it around the barrel. Dry, filling in the meantime the resulting element of the future craft with diced foam rubber mixed with pebbles. Pebbles are necessary to ensure the stability of the topiary. Instead of foam rubber, you can use cotton wool or any other soft filler of your choice.
Step 3
Cut out a circle with a diameter several times larger than the diameter of the topiary keg from a sheet of cardboard. Add a radius and cut along the marked line. Make a slightly elongated cone and seal the edges with glue.
Step 4
Grease a bamboo stick with PVA glue and wrap it with jute rope. Fill a cardboard cone with soft filler, carefully insert the prepared bamboo stick. Cut a circle out of the cardboard, equal in diameter to the base of the cardboard cone. Cut along the radius and make a hole in the center of the circle. Slide the cardboard circle over the bamboo stick, covering the base of the cone.
Step 5
Insert the wire into the top of the cone, twisting it intricately. Lubricate the surface of the cone and the wire with PVA glue and wind tightly with jute rope. Insert the free end of the bamboo stick into the barrel-holder.
Step 6
Decorate the tree with ribbons, lace, beads, buttons as your fantasy tells you. For convenience, use hot melt glue at this stage. Just at this moment, involve the child of the younger group of kindergarten in the work. The kid will independently glue buttons, beads and beads, which, of course, will have a positive effect not only on the development of the child's fine motor skills, but also on the development of creative thinking. Work on the "Button World" topiary takes no more than two hours.
