There are many educational activities for children. Constantly doing one activity can get boring for a child, so they need to be changed and something new added. To diversify your child’s leisure time, you can offer to make an applique from threads. This activity will captivate and will interesting for a child, and will also bring a lot of benefits.
Crafts develop fine motor skills, stimulate the imagination and introduce children to the world around them. The themes of the images can be anything: nature, animals, birds, flowers, seasons and much more. The works turn out to be quite unusual and original. And thanks to the threads, the pictures become fluffy and soft, which really attracts the attention of children.
Applications made from threads on cardboard are distinguished not only by the subject of the images, but also by the method of execution. Such appliques can be made from twisted, cut threads or embroidered with a needle. To better understand the technique of making such counterfeits, let's look at a few examples below.
Consider a thread master class in kindergarten. This lesson helps improve children’s memory and imagination when making appliques.
So, to work you will need: white cardboard, pencil, scissors, glue, woolen thread different colors, glue brush.
First you need to prepare the threads. Fold the thread several times and carefully cut it.
We arrange the resulting pieces into different vases depending on the color. Then we take cardboard and draw a template, in in this case This is a rowan branch. Now let's start designing the application. First, we glue the rowan branches with whole threads.
After this, you need to thickly coat the pattern with glue.
And we begin to fill out the drawing, laying out the leaves with threads.
Then you need to leave the craft to dry. After a few hours, you need to shake the applique, thereby removing any unadhered threads. The work is ready.
You can create appliqués from threads not only in kindergarten. Even in home environment The child will be happy to make an applique from woolen threads with his own hands. Initially, of course, he will need the help of an adult, but after a while he will be able to create on his own.
Children love such fakes due to their unusualness and softness, not to mention the beauty of the resulting works. And the creation process brings a lot of positive emotions.
To work you need: cardboard or paper for the base of the applique, pencil, glue, scissors, brush, thread.
The first thing to do is prepare the threads. They need to be chopped finely and carefully. First we glue the outline of the cat with a dark thread to make it brighter. Now you need to coat the cat template with a thick layer of glue. And carefully we begin to glue the cut threads, without going beyond the outline of the drawing. Let the application dry for several hours, then shake off any threads that are not stuck. This is how it’s quite easy to make the Cat applique.
In conclusion, I would like to note that it is not so difficult to create beautiful, bright and fluffy pictures. Applique from cut threads for children is a great opportunity not only to occupy the child’s time, but also to develop various skills. It is so surprising that ordinary threads can be used not only for knitting and sewing, but also for making such unusual fakes. Moreover, both the youngest children and older children can make such applications. Made products can be placed in a frame and decorate the interior of the room. Examples of other thread applications.

Amazing material - threads! Whatever they do with them: they sew, knit, weave: carpets, tapestries, panels; they embroider amazingly beautiful pictures. We have found another use for the remnants of threads from weaving and knitting - these are amazing applications in which threads are used as paints. Products using the thread applique technique look original, the techniques for working with it are simple and provide endless opportunities for creative self-expression.
The need for this technique arose after working on products using the macrame technique - there were a lot of thread scraps left different color. It was decided to master waste-free production and use the remaining threads in work. The technique of thread appliqué is very interesting, fascinating, and accessible to people. of different ages. Having mastered the basic techniques of working in this technique, based on the knowledge gained, you can create own works. By demonstrating creativity in these works, the creative abilities of the individual, characterized by a readiness to generate fundamentally new unusual ideas deviating from traditional or accepted patterns of thinking.
1. As an independent product, framed.
2. As a decoration for the interior of a room.
3. As an addition to a large composition (3 D effect).
In this master class it is proposed to perform the “Hedgehog” work using the thread applique technique. At the first stage, before starting the work, it is necessary to carefully work out every detail of the sketch. The second stage of work is the design of the outline of the pattern with black threads. At the third stage, it is necessary to cut the threads of the desired color as finely as possible, as if turning them into fluff, then the work will look more advantageous. It is necessary to lay out the prepared threads on the drawing, previously generously lubricated with PVA glue. Moreover, the entire drawing is not smeared with glue at once, but only those places on which work is carried out in this moment. The work is done from top to bottom.
Having filled the space of the entire drawing, the work needs to dry. When the work has dried, cut it out carefully along the contour of the black threads.

How to weave it into a wreath?
Standing in a white hat,
And if you blow, it will fly away.
(Dandelion)
What do you think we will do in class today?
Today in the lesson we will make a dandelion from cut threads.
Updating knowledge
Do you know what dandelion is popularly called? Just blow, guns, powder puff, milkman, bald man, milk pan.
Where did this flower get such names?
Just blow it - because if you simply blow on a ripe dandelion flower, its inflorescences will scatter in different directions.
Guns and puff - because when a dandelion ripens, it yellow flower turns into fluffy like fluff balloon. And if you pick a dandelion, you can see sticky milk coming out of the stem. That's why he is called the milkman. On the leaves and stem of a dandelion you can always find small insects, aphids, and snails that feed on its milk. This is where the flower gets its name - the milk pan.)

Doing something with your own hands is always pleasant and interesting. When you want to do something unusual and quite bright with your own hands, and also spend quality time with your child, then great idea will become knitting own painting from woolen threads.
We can’t argue with the fact that creating such an applique is quite exciting and fun. A little patience, imagination and tools are all that is required for this craft.
The first thing to say is that the skill of drawing with threads is usually called threadography. This technique was invented quite a long time ago by the Indian Huichol people, who lived in the western and central parts of Mexico. Their main craft was weaving and embroidery, so it was they who stood at the origins of thread printing.
If you take a serious approach to creating a picture from threads, then you can have a great time and learn something new, but make great gift for friends or family. People who might call themselves impatient will be happy to try appliqués from knitting threads because it is Nitography is an excellent endurance training.
Exists several main types of applications:
In this article we will analyze each of the above-described species using the example of dandelion and kitten.
As mentioned earlier, creating thread appliques is great for both children and adults. The situation is such that what more people engages in this craft, the more his endurance and imagination are trained. And this, as we know, is perfect for any person. Moreover, by doing this you can not only improve yourself, but also make an excellent interior element or gift.
If you follow the statements experienced needlewomen who know their business, you can be convinced that drawing with threads is so easy and interesting that it can give odds to standard drawing with pencils. Creating crafts using patterns with cats or dandelions is perfect for children.
The first step is to prepare all the tools, which may be useful in this method, namely:
And, of course, how can more threads. Which threads to choose is not so important. Depends on the desire of the creator. Most often, when working with children they use wool threads.
Once all the tools are prepared, you can begin. First of all, you need to draw a sketch of the future drawing with a pencil. For the first time, dandelion or kitten are perfect.
The next step is to select the thread colors that are most suitable for the selected pattern. It is also important to know the following: if you are a beginner, it is best not to use shaggy or curly threads. Of course, they make more interesting drawings, but they are difficult to work with. Therefore, leave them for more experienced times.
When all preparatory work finished, grab the glue and scissors and start creating. Apply glue to a brush or cotton swab and draw a line of glue on the base strictly along the contour. After this, press the threads to the canvas with your finger. First lay the material along the contour, then inside and outside.
At this stage it is very important to place the threads correctly on the base, pressing them tightly enough together and avoiding any voids. If this technique will be ignored, the final drawing will be, to put it mildly, weak.
Once done, leave the image to dry for several hours. Once you are sure that the glue is completely dry and the materials lie tightly enough on the canvas, you can steam the whole thing using an iron. This will help the threads become smoother and more beautiful.
By the way, in the future you can vacuum the painting without any problems without fear for your work.
As you might have guessed from the name, this method involves a radically different technique for creating a drawing. So we will need following tools:
In general, this method is much easier than the standard one. The main thing is to understand the essence of this technique and understand its implementation, after which you can create your own crafts without any problems. Let us remind you that it is best to train on light drawings: dandelions and cats.
As in the standard case, first of all we select a pattern for the drawing and apply it to our base. After this, we hammer nails along the entire contour and pull the threads on them.
It is best to first secure the thread to the first nail with a strong knot, and then pull it to the next nails one by one. It is best to come up with a diagram of the order of placement of threads on nails yourself. At this stage, you will realize that this technique is so exciting that it will not let you stop.
In principle, there are still enough ways to create appliques from threads. In this article, the most basic ones that are best suited for learning have been mentioned. As soon as you master these methods perfectly, you will immediately be able to create any paintings of this type without difficulty. Don't be afraid to experiment.
