Inflate and tie a long balloon. On colored paper, draw the shape of a guitar and cut it out. In the center, draw a circle, then a slightly larger one around it, and decorate it with zigzags. Draw the guitar bridge and six strings. Tape the balloon to the back using double-sided tape—it will serve as the neck of the guitar. The finished guitar is perfect for playing in a pretend music band. Material used:
Cut out the center of a paper plate. Next, cut a hat out of cardboard. Round the top and side corners. Attach the finished hat to the plate using double-sided tape, then add a decorative band. Cut a carrot-shaped nose from orange paper and glue it in the middle. Finally, attach a skewer stick to the back. This mask works great as a winter prop for play or a photo booth. Material used:
Cut tree shapes out of paper trays. You can cut off the tops and arrange them one below another to create snow-covered fir trees. From the remaining pieces, cut out clouds and snowdrifts. Glue all the elements onto a blue sheet of paper to create a winter scene. Thanks to the paper trays, the landscape becomes three-dimensional, and the raised shapes cast a soft shadow that makes the artwork more visually appealing. Material used:
Cut out ten circles the size of a CD. Fold each circle into four parts. Glue five circles together to create one half of the skirt, and use the remaining five to make the other half. Draw and cut out the body of the figure. Glue it to one part of the skirt, then attach the second half so the skirt becomes three-dimensional. Glue on the hair and the head. Finally, you can add a crown. Use crayons to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth. The girl in the skirt is ready. Material used:
Coat a jar with glue and then sprinkle it with salt. While the surface is still wet, use a stick to draw any patterns you like and leave it to dry. Finally, tie a ribbon or a bow around it. The finished winter candle holder can be a lovely handmade gift. Material used:
On a white sheet of paper, trace a CD and, above it, a smaller circle. Draw arms on the sides and cut out the whole shape. Glue the CD in place of the larger circle. Cut a hat from corrugated cardboard and glue it onto the snowman’s head. Cut a nose from orange foam and glue it on. Draw the eyes and a smile with a marker. Form small balls from colored tissue paper and glue them on as buttons. Finally, attach a scarf and a broom. The finished snowman can be hung up as a winter or carnival decoration....
On a rectangle cut from cardboard, draw a frame using a wax crayon held on its side. Coat a wooden spoon with glue and attach it to the paper. The bowl of the spoon will be Pinocchio’s head, and the handle will be his long nose. Use sticks or small branches to glue on the body and arms. Cut a hat for the fairy-tale character out of felt and glue it onto the head. Finally, draw an eye and a smile with a marker. Done. Material used:
Make a hole in the center of a paper plate using a stick. Cut two clock hands from decorative foam in different colors—one longer and one shorter. Pierce them with the stick as well. Thread a craft wire through the two holes of a button. Then pass the ends of the wire through the clock hands and through the hole in the clock face. Turn the clock over and thread the wire through the two holes of a second button. Finally, twist the wire and tuck its ends under the button. Using a black marker, draw the tick marks: first...
Draw eyes and a smile on a plastic spoon using a black marker. Cut a triangular nose from decorative foam and attach it with double-sided tape. Glue on a hat, then add a scarf, gently cutting the ends. Cut several circles from white foam, pierce them with a stick, and slide them one by one onto the handle of the spoon to form the body. Finally, draw buttons. The snowman is ready and can be used as a winter decoration. Material used:
Place a piece of Christmas tree tinsel on a white sheet of paper and paint its “needles” using shades of blue or purple. Create patterns that resemble frost on a windowpane. Then move the tinsel to another empty area on the paper and paint again to get more icy marks. Complete the composition by painting with feathers, which leave delicate and interesting textures and help fill in the background. Once the paint has dried, measure and cut narrow strips from white paper. Glue them onto the artwork: two crossing in the center of the window and a frame around the...
