New Year is a holiday filled with magic,miracles and, of course, gifts. No child will refuse to present a small New Year's hand made by own hands, grandmother or other relative. Such a gift can become an appliqué "Santa Claus and Snow Maiden."
Materials for application
To execute this picture, you will need:
- Black or dark blue cardboard.It should be dense enough not to warp under the glue. You can also take a thick cardboard from under the box and paint it with the desired gouache paint. The application "Santa Claus" will be glued to this cardboard.
- Color paper - blue, red, beige, white and yellow. This can be any paper: ordinary, two-sided, glossy or even self-adhesive.
- Vata. It will be needed to add the amount of application.
- Glue. The best option would be a conventional PVA, but also a "Moment" or a self-made paste.
- Scissors. For children the ideal option will be a special scissors with closed blades and rounded ends.
- Ruler.
- A simple pencil.
- Compass.
- Felt-tip pens.
Beginning of work
The application "Santa Claus and Snow Maiden" is carried outfrom cut geometric figures of different sizes and shapes. For this, it will be more convenient for adults to prepare cardboard templates in advance: a medium-sized circle (the head of Santa Claus), an average oval (the head of the Snow Maiden), a small oval (mittens), two triangles of different sizes (Santa Claus and Snow Maiden fur coats), two rectangles of different sizes ), two small triangles (caps), a small asterisk, a very small circle, a large circle (a bag with gifts), a small triangle.
Then, from the colored paper, you need to cut out the right amount of all these shapes. The application "Santa Claus and Snow Maiden" consists of the following stages:
- From blue colored paper, you need to cut onetriangle (a coat for the Snow Maiden), one small triangle (a cap for the Snow Maiden), two small ovals (Mittens of the Snow Maiden), two rectangles (the hands of the Snow Maiden).
- Of red paper - a large triangle (Santa Claus fur coat), a smaller triangle (cap), two small ovals (mittens), two rectangles (hands), a large circle (bag) and a small triangle.
- One circle and an oval (faces of Father Frost and Snow Maiden) are cut from beige paper.
- From white paper you need to cut a lot of small circles (snowflakes), for this you can use a punch.
- Of the yellow - asterisk.
Assembling the applique
- Half the cardboard backing should be covered with white paper. It will be snow.
- Then we need to expand the figures so thatThe application "Santa Claus and Snow Maiden" was received. To do this, first gather the figures of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, who will stand side by side. From Santa Claus put a bag with gifts. When assembling the bag on top of the circle, a small red triangle is applied, the corner of which closes a little around.
- Stars and snowflakes are spread out in a uniform and chaotic manner, without affecting the white half of the cardboard.
- Then all parts of the application are glued to the cardboard with glue.
End of work
The appliqué "Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden" is made volumetric with the help of cotton wool.
To do this, a thin layer of glue is smeared with snowbelow the picture, the region of Santa Claus's beard, the lower edge of the caps and fur coats of heroes, cuffs sleeves and snowflakes. Then the cotton wool is neatly distributed to these places. On snow and snowflakes, cotton wool should be a little, but on fur coats and hats it is better to take it more and stick it thicker. The Santa Claus's beard is performed in any desired length and thickness. Also of cotton wool, you can make a collar or braids Snow Maiden.
After the glue dries, markers need to be drawn to Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden of the face. You can also decorate with fur coats and a bag with gifts.
Making this picture will help the child learngeometric figures, and the cutting out of small details will develop small motor skills. In addition, the production of a themed gift will give a New Year's mood. The application "Santa Claus", created by oneself, is so simple and interesting, especially if you add the Snow Maiden to it.
