Paper applique. Phloxes. Master class with step-by-step photos

Required materials and tools

■ Colored paper (pink, lilac, red and green flowers)

■ Thick cardboard Green colour

■ Scissors

■ Glue, double-sided tape

Step-by-step process for making flower applique

1. Select a leaf for the background green paper or cardboard. Paper size A4.

2. Cut out 9 circles from green cardboard: 3 with a diameter of 5 cm, 3 with a diameter of 7 cm and 3 with a diameter of 8 cm. We glue the circles sequentially one on top of the other using double-sided tape. As a result, you should have a pyramid-shaped structure.

3. Glue together two such pyramids. These pyramids will become the basis for gluing flowers.

4. Take paper pink and lilac shades. We cut out 15-20 flowers of each color according to the template, using the multi-layer cutting method.

If you have flower hole punches, you can use them to cut out flowers, as we did.

5. Glue the cut out flowers onto the pyramid and start gluing the flowers from the bottom tier. We make a smooth transition from one color to another color. So we fill all three pyramids with flowers.

6. Cut out stems and leaves from green paper.

7. Collect flowers on the background. First, we lay out the phlox heads on the background so that they all fit and only then glue them to the background.

8. Glue stems and leaves onto the background. We glue the leaves only at the base. We bend the tips of the unglued leaves slightly.

9. Glue a few more leaves at the bottom of the stem.

The application is ready!

It's cloudy and cold outside. However, the guys are sure that spring will soon replace winter. She will bring with her March drops, gray-blue puddles, sunny weather and, of course, good mood. The first shoots of crocuses will hatch in flowerbeds and beds, and snowdrops will emerge from the ground in forests and parks. Spring usheres in the season of flowers and bright colors.
What does this mysterious stranger look like? No one has ever seen her. So, let’s make the kind of spring from colored palms that we come up with ourselves. For the application you will need:

colored and White paper
a drawn girl's head (this could be a fragment of a coloring book, a clipping from a magazine, or gift packaging)
scissors
glue.

Palms can be cut out of paper different ways. For example, find a black and white picture of a glove on the Internet, print it and cut out a cardboard template. We always do things differently. We fold an A4 sheet (landscape) into 4 parts, place our daughter’s palm on the resulting stack, trace it with a pencil and cut out four parts at once.

After the multi-colored elements are cut out, you need to take care of the base of the applique. Unfortunately, we don’t have huge sheets (whatman paper), so we’ll have to glue 4 A4 sheets together. On the resulting base of the applique in the upper part, strictly in the middle, glue the heroine’s head, leaving space for the future flower wreath.
Let's make a red collar on the dress. Apply glue in the center of the palm, just 1 drop. Subsequently, we will have to lift our fingers and push new parts under the glued palms.

For the second row, four yellow elements were needed. To make the work more accurate, it is better to first “try on” the parts without PVA.

Two palms turned upside down are a kind of belt for our heroine’s dress.

Finally, we weave a wreath for the girl from two green palms. All we have to do is cut out bells, leaves, herbs from paper and decorate the spring headdress with vegetation.

What are we missing? Of course, gloves. Lightly cut along the contour of the standard palms, reducing them in size. The heroine's hands are ready.

We have a bright, interesting and truly spring applique.

All the kids will like this picture at the festival dedicated to welcoming spring. Join us!

In spring you want to create even more than at any other time of the year. Nature itself gives inspiration when fragrant delicate flowers bloom in flower beds and trees. Everything turns green, and this always lifts your spirits. The spring beauty of nature inspires the creation of original paintings.
For those who can draw, this is not a problem. If your skills visual arts not higher school curriculum, then try to do volumetric applique. For work you will need the following materials:
- napkins of different colors;
- corrugated paper in shades not found in napkins;
- scissors;
- a sheet of cardboard;
- a tube of PVA glue;
- double sided tape.
First, collect napkins and corrugated paper in the following colors: brown, green, blue, white, pink, yellow.

Take a sheet of regular cardboard.

Glue the green strip corrugated paper. This will be grass.

Glue the blue napkin on top to create the sky. There is no need to smooth the paper, otherwise the image will not be in relief.

Next, cut the brown paper into strips and twist them into flagella of different lengths.

Form them into tree trunks and branches.

Also cut the yellow napkin into strips and make flagella out of them.

Glue the long blanks in a spiral into a circle, and the short ones will make rays. The beautiful sun is coming out.

The clouds will be pieces of napkins, crumpled in a random manner.

Make the grass from corrugated paper. Cut small strips, cut the fringe from one edge and twist it with the blade of scissors.

Lush grass is ready.

To make snowdrops, cut out ovals from a white napkin and curl one of the edges with your fingers. Glue three petals together.

This is what delicate snowdrops look like.

If you twist the ovals in the center and glue 2 blanks into a lush flower, you will get a beautiful blooming cherry or apple tree.

Using the same principle, you can make blue blues.

The leaves on the trees are just opening. Form them from thin short strips twisted in the center.

To make a dandelion, you need to cut a yellow napkin into strips. Cut a short thick fringe from one of the long edges and twist the pieces in a spiral.

The result is lush yellow flowers.

For successful diversified development For a child, activities to develop fine motor skills are of great importance. One of the types of such activities is applications made from colored paper, templates for which were developed by methodologists taking into account the characteristics of age groups preschoolers.

It is important that the complexity of the task corresponds to the age of the child, that classes are carried out systematically, gradually becoming more difficult, and are carried out under the supervision and assistance of adults.

What are the benefits of template applications for development?

Paper applications – creative process, thanks to which children learn the world and acquire many skills. In addition to the development of fine motor skills of the hands, this includes coordination of movements, the study of colors and their combinations, the concept of composition, familiarity with various materials and textures, the development of observation, imagination and fantasy.

Working on an application in a team promotes organization, restraint, and accuracy. It is also necessary to note the development of spatial imagination: when doing appliqué, children create a whole from several components and, conversely, learn to divide the whole into parts.

Scientists have proven that in the cerebral cortex the center responsible for fine motor skills, located next to the speech center and promotes the development of speech skills.

Types of applications according to the template

There are three main types of application:

subject - the cut out parts have a simple, clear shape and proportions, an image is created that is not associated with any plot;
plot-thematic - correspondence to a certain plot (taken from a fairy tale or invented independently);
decorative – decorating postcards and photo frames with patterns of geometric shapes.

Simple applications for children 2-3 years old

Simple applications made from colored paper using templates can be practiced from 2 years old. However, some experts believe that children as young as 1 year can perform feasible tasks.

Initial lessons involve gluing pieces of paper onto a sheet of paper in any form. At this stage, the child must understand and remember the basic actions: spread, turn over, apply, smooth. Kids are still attracted to the process itself; they will strive for the result later.

At the second level of complexity, templates are used. The child must place the elements also chaotically, but within the contour, and a certain image appears.

Application template from colored paper “Hedgehog”

A template is a schematic image of a future picture, drawn or printed on a printer. Simple templates for applications made from colored paper can include, for example, a Christmas tree with balls, a tree with apples, and others.

For such work, you need to prepare elements: balls, apples, etc. The child must determine for himself how to arrange them on the templates.

Palm tree applique template

Flower applique template

For small children there will be interesting execution simple cut-off appliqué. A child watches an adult tear paper long stripes, then tears them to shreds himself. These pieces need to fill the outline.

If the child wants to tear the paper himself, then these uneven, awkward strips can also be used to create an applique, for example, grass. Ants are drawn using finger paints.

Further, the task becomes more complicated: you need to hit the element on a specific place in the template or drawn outline. So, using cut out circles, an image of a caterpillar is created. On at this stage Children are no longer interested only in the process, but also in the result.

When making appliqués from colored paper using templates and contours with children under 3 years of age, prepared cut out elements are used.

Three year old child You can already instill skills in working with scissors with rounded ends.

At the same time, it is necessary to explain how to properly hold scissors and paper so as not to get hurt. You need to start with straight cuts, then work on bends and roundings.

At this age, children are already able to create simple plot pictures. Elements pasted onto the template allow you to create a specific image.

The background for the application can be a drawn outline with partially drawn elements. For example, children can populate a template aquarium with algae and stones at the bottom with inhabitants: fish, jellyfish, etc.

Interesting activity there may be connection and gluing of the cut picture. If a child copes with such a task easily, it is recommended to complicate it: add raindrops to the umbrella, glue windows to the house with an attached roof. Such activities develop imagination, observation, and a sense of proportion.

Applications for children 4-5 years old

At this age, colored paper applications and patterns for them become more complex. By preparing, together with an adult, elements for a future picture, the child shows more independence: cuts, selects colors and, thus, gains an understanding of composition.

Such activities develop logical thinking, allows you to show creative inclinations.

For children 4-5 years old exciting activity is to make cards, which they then give to parents and friends.

The base is folded in half and elements are glued inside the card to form story picture.

The templates developed by specialists are only examples indicating the direction of work.

Parents and educators can contribute their ideas. For example, using a cut out outline of a baby’s palm in an applique – such pictures evoke amazement and delight in children.

Applications with palm

The technique of appliqué using only circles reveals for the child the relationship between the parts and the whole.

Developing creative imagination child, you should show him various techniques working with paper: for example, folding it in the form of an accordion. For such a picture you need to prepare a base and draw contours. The gluing process also becomes more complicated.

Complex applications for children 6-7 years old

Children of senior preschool and junior school age already have certain skills.

Practicing appliqué work from colored paper using templates during this period helps further develop fine motor skills, thinking, memory and concentration, and develops the ability to plan one’s activities.

An important circumstance is that the child anticipates final result your work.

At this age, children develop the skill of cutting out individual parts and solid silhouettes, symmetrical elements from paper folded in half, as well as the ability to create compositions and correctly arrange their individual parts on a base.

At this stage, children study color combinations, analyze and compare details. The texture of the material also becomes varied: in addition to ordinary colored paper, creped (“crumpled”), streaked (glossy), textured (embossed or imitating velvet), and foil are used.

During this period, you can move on to volumetric symmetrical compositions.

To complete this task, templates (clouds, Balloons) are cut in the usual way. Next, two identical templates are folded in the center and fastened together (can be sewn). The prepared elements are glued to the base.

To make a three-dimensional bird, the template is bent in half and glued together, except for the wings, which are bent along dotted line.

The resulting result can be pasted with one side and a wing onto the base (in the form of an applique) or turned into a craft by tying it to a thread and hanging it on a branch.

Having mastered the basics of composition at the previous stages, children aged 6-7 years are able to create entire paintings - landscapes, still lifes, using ready-made templates for appliqués from colored paper or making them with the help of a teacher or parents.

Applications using a disposable plate

Disposable plates are comfortable material, with which you can create original and beautiful compositions. Made of polystyrene or cardboard, of different colors, with different embossed patterns, they can be both the basis for an applique and elements for it.

You can involve children with disabilities in making applications from colored paper on a disposable plate using templates. younger age. On a prepared colored background, children place complex elements in the form of a pattern.

A more complicated option is to use two or more colors for the background and more complex elements. Children aged 6-7 years make up thematic compositions on plates or use them as material for individual elements.

Examples of gradually more complex appliqués on plates:

Combined applications

When making applications from colored paper, the patterns can be diversified by combining various materials.

Cereal applications

This type of application can be done even with small children. The algorithm of work is as follows: an adult applies glue to the prepared drawing, the child sprinkles cereal on it and lightly presses it with his finger.

The remaining grains that are not glued need to be shaken off. This activity instills attentiveness and accuracy in the child.

Older children can use different types croup In this case, the glue is applied one by one to individual areas. To make the picture more colorful, it is recommended to pre-tint the cereal with gouache. different colors. You can use your child’s own drawing as a template; this will stimulate him and inspire him.

Button applications

To perform such an application you need preliminary preparation. After studying the drawing and choosing colors, the child, with the help of adults, selects buttons that match the color and size. Then you should lay them out in a picture to visualize the desired result, and begin gluing.

For younger children who do not yet have the necessary skills, you can apply a drawing according to a template on a layer of plasticine - the child will attach the buttons by pressing. This technique is also applicable when working with cereals.

For combined applications, cotton wool, napkins, eggshell, natural materials - leaves, petals, seeds and much more.

Multilayer applications

Multilayer (overlay) applications made of colored paper or other materials are made using templates designed or made independently.

This kind of work develops spatial imagination and cultivates aesthetic taste. They are made from paper, fabric, leather, felt - the main thing is that the edges of the material do not fray.

Multilayer applications, like other varieties, come in varying degrees of complexity. For little ones, this is a simple matter of gluing parts on top of each other. By fastening elements only on one edge, you can create a three-dimensional effect.

More complex applications are characterized big amount parts, their production requires good skills in working with scissors, a sense of proportion and color.

Older children with developed fine motor skills and the skills to make complex parts create real works of art - unusual compositions and even portraits. Light and shadow effects give them special color.

Multilayer applique- this is a truly creative process in which imagination and artistic ability child. It is necessary to think over the image, color scheme, sequence of action, so such work implies a certain level of intelligence.

Piece applications

Appliques made from cut or torn pieces of colored paper using templates are a fairly simple form, even small children can do them. You need to apply a drawing to the base sheet. Besides ready-made templates You can use children's coloring books or come up with a sketch yourself.

The production of appliqué elements is carried out together with the child - small children happily tear the paper into pieces. If you already have skills in working with scissors, you can allow these elements to be cut out.

Important detail: how younger child, the larger the fragments should be.

Having selected the desired colors, you can begin gluing. The glue is not applied to small parts, and to the template, by sections.

When working with children, this process is carried out by an adult; older children themselves apply the glue with a brush. When gluing pieces of paper, the child must accurately fall into the outline.

A type of applique made from pieces is trimming. This technique is quite complicated, but children 6-7 years old are quite capable of it, especially with teamwork.

To master the cutting technique, teachers and parents are offered master classes on this topic.

Autumn themed applications

Bright colors autumn make it possible to create colorful pictures of autumn nature. For applications on this topic it is used as colored paper, and natural materials: colorful leaves, petals of late flowers, seeds, spikelets, twigs and other objects.

When making applications on autumn theme from colored paper according to templates and in a free composition, the main attributes are preserved - flowers, mushrooms, fruits, acorns, silhouettes of trees are cut out and painted. Required component - autumn leaves.

When working with natural material you need to prepare it. The collected leaves must first be leveled and dried under pressure. If the leaf needs to be given any shape, then use fresh leaf, which is then dried.

For collages and mosaic paintings you can prepare cardboard templates, onto which the elements are glued.

Autumn nature is fertile ground for the flight of children's imagination. Leaf applications placed in a photo frame will decorate any interior.

Spectacular decoration There will also be autumn lanterns. To do this, the outside of the glass vessel is covered with multi-colored leaves (paper or natural), and a small candle is placed inside.

Winter themed applications

To create winter and, in particular, New Year's applications Any of the described techniques is used, depending on the age of the children.

The most common type winter applications are snowflakes - this is a subtype of silhouette type applique. Fold the sheet correctly, trim the edge and sharp corner, it is recommended to make cuts first on plain paper- this is how a skill is developed.

In addition, pendants made of such snowflakes decorate the room. Thin, airy snowflakes can be glued to windows and other surfaces.

For small children, it is better to prepare templates (circles with an outline) and make a broken snowflake from pieces. For flat, voluminous, multi-layer snowflakes, you need to prepare patterns for cutting.

To make a traditional Christmas tree, kids use triangles from green paper, a snowman is made from white circles, and a teacher or parent helps add details to the applique.

Older children can be asked to make a Christmas tree from strips of paper or create a picture winter forest using templates using small pieces of paper or cotton wool.

A Christmas tree made of paper balls looks bright and voluminous. For this purpose, a template and elements are made from crepe paper. The main color is dark green; multi-colored balls are made for the garland.

Interesting application featuring winter accessories allows children to express creative imagination.

The decoration of the cap and mittens can be any ornament, animal figures, winter pictures, beads or rhinestones.

Cotton wool is used to imitate fur.

By using disposable plate You can make a craft-mask of a polar bear. Holes are cut out in the plate - eyes, the surface is covered with pieces of paper, used for the nose disposable cup.

Senior preschoolers and students junior classes are able, under the guidance of adults, to create complex winter landscapes using mixed media.

Spring themed applications

Snowdrops and lilies of the valley, starlings and flowering trees - these signs of spring are traditionally used in children's applications made from colored paper using templates. The little ones do simple tasks, placing the prepared elements on the contours. These same images can be complicated by adding pictures of spring nature.

More complex compositions - voluminous, multi-layered, with a large number of elements - are created by children who have the skills to work with glue, scissors, a brush and use different techniques.

Lilacs in a vase made of cereals, a spring picture using drawing and appliqué techniques - these and many other ideas are offered by experts to parents and educators for educational activities with children.

Application is visual activity. Having achieved desired result, the child experiences aesthetic pleasure, thereby joining the world of beauty, the world of art. A simple and accessible way for children to create artwork makes appliqué one of the favorite types of educational activities for children.

Applique is one of the favorite activities of all children. This great way interest the child, spend quality time and simply cheer up. Works made using the applique technique always turn out bright, they can then be presented as a postcard to your grandmother or mother, or you can decorate your child’s room with them.

Application is a very useful activity. By cutting out and gluing parts, the child develops fine motor skills, learns to use scissors, a brush, and glue. While doing the applique, it is easy to learn colors and shapes, and you can also practice spatial orientation (top, bottom, right, left, under, above, etc.). Using various materials, develop the child’s tactile perception. If you give free rein to the baby and allow him to do everything on his own, his imagination and fantasy develop.

Now outside the window spring is already actively coming into its own - beautiful time of the year. Why not take this opportunity and create one with your children? beautiful applications spring theme?
