DIY gift for March 8th – ladybug made of foam rubber sponge with photo and description.
Thanks to detailed descriptions and detailedillustrations of each important stage of work, this master class on creating a ladybug from foam rubber will be within the power of even children of senior preschool groups. In addition to parents, this lesson can be usefully taken "into service" by educators and teachers of additional education. A ladybug created with your own hands will be an excellent prop for dance compositions, games, and also a wonderful gift for mothers for March 8.Children will gain a lot of useful information from this master class:
- learn how to create crafts made of foam rubber;
- bring up the accuracy;
- will develop creativity and diligence;
- learn about ways to use available materials for games and dances.
If you intend to give the product you are creating as a gift,then it would be most correct to use it as a pincushion. Of course, it is wrong to delegate the entire process of making ladybugs to children alone, so parents or educators can help them by making a ladybug. Children always love to create all sorts of living creatures with their own hands, and they will especially like such a bright insect as a ladybug.First, let's decide on the materials and tools we need for this master class. These will be:
- dense green cardboard;
- A simple pencil;
- brush;
- figured scissors;
- sponge 140x90 mm;
- Knife stationery;
- PVA;
- gouache is red and black;
- a can of water;
- straight scissors.
A small recommendation.Try to find red or pink foam rubber for this craft. The fact is that in the process of painting the foam rubber with red gouache, you will need much less of it, and the painting itself can be done only once. Also, in practice, it has been noted that white foam rubber needs to be painted many times, since it actively absorbs paint, and when dry, it leaves gaps of white color. This drawback is no longer observed when using pink foam rubber. Description of the progress of work. Using a stationery knife, a foam rubber sponge measuring 140x90 mm is cut into four identical parts - these will be four ladybugs. Those who took a two-layer sponge will first have to separate the layers from each other using a stationery knife. To give the ladybug a rounded shape, carefully round the edges of the foam rubber with scissors.
Next, we give our future ladybug a basic color tone, for which we paint it red using gouache. After this, the craft needs to be given a certain amount of time for the paint to dry.
While the gouache is drying, we can make a leaf where our cow will be placed. Cut out a leaf template that is approximately 95 mm long.
Using the prepared template, trace twoleaflets on green cardboard. Each ladybug will need two leaves. This is because the leaves will be glued together.
For the lucky owners of double-sidedcolored cardboard will be enough to cut out one leaf per cow. Cut out the leaves. Now the leaves need to be glued together using PVA. You can place the leaf under the press, and after drying, it will become smooth.
Having left the leaf to dry, without wasting time we continue to paint the ladybug. If you do not dry the red paint well, when black gouache gets on the foam rubber it will “float”.
We draw our cow's head in black.The same color is used to draw a black stripe. Then the dots are drawn. As soon as the black gouache dries, you can draw the eyes using a white corrector.
So, our leaf is dry. Using curly scissors, cut off the edge of the leaf. Take a black felt-tip pen and draw veins on both sides of the leaf.
Now we can glue our ladybug onto the leaf. We grease the lower part of the ladybug's body with PVA glue and glue it to the leaf.
That's all the work!
The required number is produced in a similar manner.ladybugs. This is how we made a pincushion for a present. We hope that our master class will cheer you and your baby up, and in the future he will become addicted to handicrafts.
