New Year is a holiday filled with magic, miracles and, of course, gifts. Not a single child will refuse to present a small handmade New Year's craft to a grandmother or other relative. The application "Santa Claus and Snow Maiden" can become such a gift.
Applique materials
To complete this picture, you will need:
- Black or dark blue cardboard. It should be tight enough not to warp under the glue. You can also take thick cardboard from under the box and paint it with the desired gouache paint. Application "Santa Claus" will be glued to this cardboard.
- Colored paper - blue, red, beige, white and yellow. It can be any paper: plain, double-sided, glossy or even self-adhesive.
- Wadding. You will need it to add volume to the application.
- Glue. The best option would be ordinary PVA, but "Moment" or a self-made paste will also work.
- Scissors. For children, the ideal option will bespecial scissors with closed blades and rounded ends.
- Ruler.
- Simple pencil.
- Compass.
- Felt-tip pens.
Getting Started
Applique "Santa Claus and Snow Maiden" is made of cut out geometric shapes 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), a medium oval (the head of the Snow Maiden), a small oval (mittens), two triangles of different sizes (fur coats of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden), two rectangles of different sizes (hands), two small triangles (hats), a small star, a very small circle, a large circle (gift bag), a small triangle.
Next, you need to cut out the required number of all these figures from colored paper. Application "Santa Claus and Snow Maiden" consists of the following steps:
- From blue colored paper you need to cut out one triangle (fur coat for the Snow Maiden), one small triangle (hat for the Snow Maiden), two small ovals (mittens of the Snow Maiden), two rectangles (hands of the Snow Maiden).
- From red paper - a large triangle (Santa Claus's fur coat), a smaller triangle (hat), two small ovals (mittens), two rectangles (hands), a large circle (bag) and a small triangle.
- One circle and an oval are cut out of beige paper (the faces of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden).
- You need to cut out a lot of small circles (snowflakes) from white paper, for this you can use a hole punch.
- From yellow -asterisks.
Applique assembly
- Half of the cardboard base needs to be sealed with white paper. It will be snow.
- Then you need to decompose the figures so that you get the application "Father Frost and Snow Maiden". To do this, first gather the figures of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden, who will stand side by side. From the side of Santa Claus, a bag with gifts is placed. When assembling the bag, a small red triangle is applied on top of the circle, the corner of which closes a little circle.
- Stars and snowflakes are laid out evenly and randomly over the picture, without affecting the white half of the cardboard.
- Then all parts of the applique are glued to the cardboard with glue.
End of work
The application "Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden" is made voluminous with the help of cotton wool.
For this, a thin layer of glue is smeared on the snow at the bottom of the picture, the area of Santa Claus's beard, the lower edge of the heroes' hats and coats, cuffs of the sleeves and snowflakes. Then the cotton wool is carefully distributed over these places. There should be little cotton wool on the snow and snowflakes, but on fur coats and hats it is better to take more and stick it thicker. The beard of Santa Claus is made of any desired length and density. You can also make a collar or braids for the Snow Maiden out of cotton.
After the glue dries, with felt-tip pens you need to draw faces for Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. You can also decorate fur coats and a bag with gifts with patterns.
Making this picture will help your child learn geometric shapes, and cutting out small details will develop fine motor skills. In addition, the manufacturea themed gift will give a New Year's mood. The application "Santa Claus", created with your own hands, is so simple and interesting, especially if you add the Snow Maiden to it.
