Helicopter (figured postcard)

A description of the production was sent by Olga, Dima’s mother: “A postcard for dad. The simplest applique, but in the shape of a helicopter. And it seems that a child can’t make it. But no, it’s all simple: cut it out, glue it, and instead of a string - corrugated paper flagella."

The work is really simple, although very impressive. How to do it is clear from the photo. To make this craft from colored double-sided cardboard, you need to cut out two identical parts in the shape of a helicopter, cut out a window in the part that will be the front one and paste it over with pieces of multi-colored construction paper. Cut out circles (wheels) from black cardboard and make two holes in the middle of each with a hole punch. On the helicopters themselves, also make a hole punch along the edge of the hole and use a cord, rope or corrugated paper to connect the parts to each other, starting from the tail. Tie the ends of the lace or rope with a bow.

Only the background is from my mother’s work. Danya did the rest. To begin with, we made several separate applications (from ready-made sets) in the form different types transport. Then Danya glued them onto the background in the right places. He glued the cut-out “portraits” of dad so that it seemed like dad was driving a car, a helicopter, and so on. Well, pre-prepared details for decorating the background: leaves, flowers, birds - Danya glued them at his own discretion. As a result, we got a beautiful and interesting wall newspaper called “Dad can do anything!”

Crafts from little inventors can be of various types. different materials. The simplest ones: made of colored paper and cardboard. More complex: from the most unexpected materials. For example, a plane made of popsicle sticks or a tank made of kitchen sponges for washing dishes.

In our article, you will learn some interesting ideas for DIY crafts for Defender of the Fatherland Day.

DIY craft for children from plastic bottles

From paper different colors and a plastic bottle, you can make an excellent airplane. Older children can master it on their own. For kids who have recently learned how to make simple paper crafts, their mothers will help them.

We will need:

• plastic bottle (transparent, 0.5 liter volume);
• ruler;
• pencil;
• scissors;
• PVA paper glue;
• colored paper or non-hard cardboard: white, green and juicy green.

Stages of work:

1. First, let's move on to the body of the aircraft. He will white. To do this, take a sheet of A4. Let's put it vertically. Place the bottle across the white paper. So that its bottom is exactly along the edge of the paper, and the neck protrudes beyond.

2. Now we determine the place where the bottle narrows - the beginning of the neck. We put a mark, in pencil, on a white sheet. We remove the bottle and draw a vertical line across the sheet, in the place where we left the mark.

3. Take scissors and divide the A4 sheet into two equal parts, exactly along our line. We throw out the left part, and the right one will become the main part of the plane.

4. Fold the remaining piece of paper in half. We draw the tail part of the plane, precisely the one that does not adhere to the plastic bottle, but rises upward in the form of a tail.

5. Next, cut out according to your drawing on the side that will be closer to the bottom of the bottle. We wrap the “white body” around the bottle. We stack them on top of each other and glue them together. We fold the two parts of the tail and glue them together.

6. Cut out two trapezoids from bright green - these will be the wings of the airplane. And two rectangles for the engines of our “aircraft”. Bend the bases of the two trapezoids by one centimeter. We roll the rectangles into tubes and glue their edges.

7. Glue the wings to the sides of the white fuselage. At the bottom, using glue, we secure the pipes.

8. We only have green paper left. Let's cut out eight circles from it. They will be the airplane's windows.

9. Now we glue four windows on each side of the plane.

10. Our “air machine” is almost ready. All that remains is to cut out the dark green propeller. It is shaped like a bow. Cut a large hole in the middle of the propeller. So that the propeller can be put on the neck. And we push the neck of the bottle through the hole so that the propeller is next to the plastic ring on the neck. Now we tighten the plug.

The tone of the cork and the main colors of the aircraft must match. In this case, a green cap is suitable. If the shade of the cork is different, we advise you to match the aircraft with other paper tones.

11. And finally, from the remnants of green paper we cut out two small wings of the tail of the plane. We bend the base and attach it to the white tail using glue.

Our gift for Defender of the Fatherland Day is ready.

But the idea is more complicated, here you need to cover the plane with paper and decorate it, but it also turns out very cool

Here, for example, is a simple version of a pirate ship that even kids can handle:

You can even make a rocket:

Or this beautiful ship that you can take with your dad on a long voyage, if, of course, there is a body of water nearby.

And look at these binoculars, you just need to cut off the bottom of 2 bottles and connect them with electrical tape and tie a rope:

But this is how you can build a helicopter:

To make such a helicopter you need 1 PET bottle with a capacity of 0.5 liters. 1 ping pong ball, 3 straws, hairpin. stapler and scissors, here's the whole simple set:

I won’t describe how to make such a helicopter, and everything is clearly visible in the picture.

These are the kind of crafts you can make with your children and present them to your dad and grandfather. They will be touched by such a gift, because they were made by little beloved hands.

Making a gift for dad from paper and cardboard

The easiest thing you can make from paper and cardboard is a postcard. But we will not dwell on this, but will offer you to build such a tank.

We will need:

• sheet of brown cardboard;
• colored double-sided paper: green and red;
• ruler;
• a simple pencil;
• scissors;
• PVA glue.

Stages of work:

1. Cut out two strips of green paper. Size: length - 20 cm, width - 2 cm. Such strips will serve as tank tracks. Glue the ends of the strips together. As a result, we get two rings.

2. For the main part of the tank, cut out a rectangle. Size: length - 12 cm, width - 7 cm. We measure 5 mm from the shorter sides and draw lines. Next, count another 2.5 cm from each edge. And we also draw two lines.

3. Now we bend the paper along the lines. As shown in the picture.

4. Let's start making the tank turret. It is similar to the main part, but smaller in size. Let's cut out a rectangle. Size: length - 8 cm, width - 6 cm. Also measure from the edges: 5 mm. - on both sides. We draw lines. And another 2 cm - draw lines. After that, we bend the lines exactly as we did with the bends on the tank body.

5. Now let's make the barrel. Cut out a small rectangle. Size: length - 8 cm, width - 4 cm. Bend the resulting figure in half. This must be done along the length of the rectangle. As a result, we get a paper quadrangle consisting of four parts. The width of each is 1 cm, respectively the length is 8 cm.

6. Glue the two edges of this sheet together to create a triangular barrel. Before this, we make three small cuts. In the picture they are shown with green lines. We bend the strips a little. This will be needed so that we can glue the future barrel to the tower.

7. Now we connect all the parts of the tank: glue the barrel to the tank turret, as shown in the picture.

8. We install the tower on the hull. Glue will also help with this. Now we glue all the parts to the sheet and add a red star to its body.

The festive tank is ready.

It is worth noting that such a tank can also be made from non-solid cardboard.

• You can make a fake in the form of a car and glue the face of dad and son, in my opinion it’s very original:

• Photo - frame

• Cap made of colored cardboard

Crafts for school from plasticine for Defender of the Fatherland Day

This is not a complicated craft that fits perfectly with the holiday theme. The only materials we need are plasticine. In our case: blue, red and green shades. But, you can take other, matching colors.

Stages of work:

We make a sausage from blue plasticine. One side will be much thicker than the other. We attach the tail of the airplane to the thin end of the sausage.

Now we sculpt the wings and attach them to the main part of our “flying machine”.

We decorate the front part of the plane with green plasticine. And the wings are red stars.

Our plane is ready.

You can also make a tank from plasticine, here are several options:

And now you can make a submarine, it’s not difficult at all:

Either fighter:

And here's what beautiful photo frame came from plastic clay:

Master class on making figurines from salt dough

Maybe some people may think that modeling from salt dough is difficult, but this is not true at all. Try it at least once and see how easy the craft is.

We will need:

• frame;
• glue moment;
• salt dough;
• gouache or watercolor and brush;
• a rectangle of white paper (the size of the inside of the frame) and a file.

To start modeling, we need to knead the dough. Mix a glass of flour and a tablespoon of salt. For elasticity, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil and hot water. Mix everything to a homogeneous plastic consistency.

If the dough comes out a little liquid, add flour and mix the mixture again.

Now put the dough in the refrigerator for three hours. After which, you can start making a cat soldier. Place a paper rectangle on the table and cover it with a file.

Let's start making the body of the cat. From a piece suitable size, roll the ball.

Let's make a drop out of it. And flatten it between your palms. Place the cat's body on the file in the right place. Press the top of the droplet with your finger. This is where we will place the bottom of our cat's head.

For the head we will need a piece of a slightly larger size than we used on the body. We roll the ball in the same way, but now we flatten it right away. The approximate thickness of the head is 7-8 mm. We make ears on the sides: stretch the dough out a little and press it with your fingers.

We put the remaining dough in a plastic bag each time, otherwise it will simply dry out. Also suitable plastic container with lid.

We wet the pressed part of the droplet body with water. For this you will need a brush. Glue the head to the body. Using a plasticine knife, we make indentations in the ears. We draw the fur of the cat along the edges of the craft - using scratching movements.

Using our fingers we determine the location of the future eyes. We will get two indentations in the middle of the face.

Mark the nose with a knife.

Twist a small ball for the spout. Now we make a drop out of it and flatten it a little. This is exactly how we did the torso. Next, flatten the droplet from below. We get a real cat nose.

We wet with a brush the place where our nose will be located. And glue it on.

For the mouth, visually divide the head into two equal parts - with a horizontal line. We put two lines, almost near the edges of the cheeks. And cut the dough from the bottom of the nose to each of the cheeks.

Open the mouth and draw the lower lip.

Now let's add some brightness to the cat.

Both watercolor and gouache are suitable for coloring. If you use acrylic paints, it is better to wait until the work dries.

Fully coloring the cat orange(we don’t touch only his nose). Using white watercolors we paint the cheeks, tips of the ears, lower lip and the middle of the tummy. We tint the cat's nose with a soft pink shade.

Roll a small piece of dough into a sausage. Use a knife to separate the edge and cut off two small (equal in size) pieces.

From each plate we form a ball (slightly oval in shape). These will be the eyes.

If the paint has dried, moisten the eye holes with water. But usually, the watercolor does not have time to dry yet. Next, glue the eyes and slightly flatten them on top.

Let's start making the cat's eyebrows. To do this, take a small piece of salt dough. Roll into an oval ball and cut in the middle. We get two even halves. Roll each into small balls. We make elongated droplets out of them.

Glue the eyebrows just above the eyes. The wide side is inward and the narrow side is outward.

Now let's make a cap. To do this, we need to roll a ball from a small piece of dough. After that, we make a drop out of it and flatten it. Cut a small triangle into the base of the droplet. We shape the cap with our fingers and glue it between the ears of our “mustachioed soldier.” The narrow side of the drop will be between the eyebrows, and the cut out triangle will be on top.

From the top of the triangle, use a knife to press a small groove in the form of a continuation of the top of the triangle.

Next we make an army belt with a large buckle. We will need a small piece of dough. Roll it into a ball and flatten it into a thin pancake (about 3 mm thick). We spread the resulting layer on the table and cut out a strip 1 cm wide in the middle. We attach the belt to the cat’s belly. We cut off the excess edges of the strip.

Now let's color the new parts of the cat. Draw the eyes with dark green color. For the cap, mix green and yellow-brown colors. As a result, we get a swamp shade or khaki color. We paint their cap. Paint the eyebrows white. Paint the belt with black paint.

We make a buckle from a small piece of dough. Roll into a ball and flatten with your fingers. Place the plastic on the table and cut out a rectangle. Glue the buckle to the belt and press through a small star.

Now color the buckle yellow.

Let's start making the cat's paws. Roll the dough into a sausage as thick as your index finger. Cut off the rounded ends and divide it into two equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball. Then we bring it into an elongated drop-shaped shape. Using a knife, we form three fingers. We push through one claw on each one.

When one paw of the soldier cat is ready, try it on. If it turns out to be too big, separate a small part of the dough from it and roll a new one.

You can check whether the paws are similar in size by rolling each piece into a ball and visually comparing them.

We wet the foot with water and glue it to the body. We do the same with the second paw. The only difference is their location. One lies on the belt, the second is raised to the head.

We make boots. Roll a piece of dough into a ball. Then we bring it to oval shape. Divide with a knife into two equal parts. Roll each into a ball. We bring it into the shape of a droplet. We press the bottom of the drop - this will be the sole of the boot. Squeeze it a little on the sides and glue it to the right place. We also make the second one. As a result, the boots turn out to be glued to the cat’s belly and to each other.

Press the boots well, otherwise they will simply fall off when the picture is in a vertical position.

Now let's start painting the new parts. The paws are orange, like the body, and the boots are black. We also draw black pupils and dots for the mustache. Draw a star in red on the belt buckle and cap. Use brown paint to highlight the mouth, the inside of the ears, the folds between the fingers and the claws.

When the black paint dries on the pupils, paint small highlights on the eyes, buckle and middle of the cap. We will also draw two white stripes on the paws and white fur at the bottom of the face. Without removing the cat from the cardboard, place it on the radiator and let it dry completely.

If desired, you can decorate the main background of the picture. We are waiting for the paint to dry.

When everything is dry, insert the background into the frame (under the glass). And we will glue the cat to the glass with Moment glue. Apply glue to the back side of the “mustachioed defender”. Gently press it against the glass. The mother can help with this so that the child does not get glue on his hands.

At the beginning and end of the craft we showed different backgrounds for our gift. Which one is better? It's up to you to decide.

Here are some more interesting ideas from this material:

• Painting

• Star

• Figurines

• Portrait

Learn how to make a gift from matches with your own hands

We can make a wonderful panel from matches.

We will need:

• holiday themed postcard;
• matches - several boxes;
• thick cardboard;
• universal transparent glue “Moment-Gel”;
• clear nail polish;
• PVA glue;
• scissors.

Stages of work:

We make the base of the gift panel. Apply PVA glue to cardboard. Now we glue the matches vertically. Starting from the corner. The first will be positioned with the cerumen head up, and the second - down. We continue this way until we get a square. It will take about 17-18 matches.

Nearby we make the same square from horizontally arranged matches. This is how we alternate vertical and horizontal squares. As a result, we will have an applique measuring 3 by 3 squares. To make the parquet made of matches dense, we lubricate it again with PVA glue. We are waiting for the base of the panel to dry completely.

Then we cover the matches with colorless nail polish. We also wait until everything is completely dry.

If there is excess cardboard left, carefully trim the edges.

Now let's start decorating. We cut out the necessary details of an old postcard for Defender of the Fatherland Day. And glue them to the matches with “Moment” universal glue.

Our festive applique ready!

Let's make a card from napkin balls.

We will need:

• sheet of A4 colored cardboard;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• napkins of different colors.

Stages of work:

Let's draw a boat. All its parts must be large.

Cut the napkins into small squares (about 2 by 2 cm). Take a square and roll it into a ball with your fingers. I think all kids will enjoy this activity. In addition, it develops hand motor skills well.

Apply PVA glue to the design and glue each ball.

If desired, you can make the inscription “To your beloved dad.” The holiday card is ready.

• two cotton swabs;
• yellow felt-tip pen.

Stages of work:

From a rectangular sheet blue color make a square. To do this, bend the sheet diagonally.

We get a triangle, an unnecessary rectangle on the left side, cut it off. We expand the triangle and we get a square.

We place the sheet on the table surface - in the form of a diamond. And we make an envelope from the bottom sides. First we bend the right edge, then the left. We bend the corners of the front side of the envelope.

Now coat the left edge with PVA glue. The envelope is ready.

Let's start making flowers. To do this, color three cotton heads with a yellow felt-tip pen. Cut the sticks in half. The half with the white cotton head is thrown away.

We bend the cotton pad, just like an envelope for flowers. Insert a cotton swab into the middle. We glue the front part of the flower. We do the same with the remaining disks and sticks.

Next we make the leaves. Cut out a rectangle of green paper (6 cm wide, about 5 cm long). Fold the rectangle in half and cut out an oval edge. We unfold the paper and get a leaf for the koala. We will need three of these.

We attach all the details to the blue envelope. There we will see which arrangement of flowers and leaves will look best. Now we glue everything with PVA glue.

You should not glue all the details completely, this will make the card more voluminous and more beautiful.
