Grandmothers - they are so different

Grandmothers are usually considered women of a deeply advanced age. They nap all day in an armchair with a cat on their lap, knit endless scarves, or bake pies.

However, a grandmother can also be a relatively young, active woman who, instead of cooking meatballs and borscht, plays sports, has hobbies, and goes to work.

It is better to give such grandmothers something more appropriate to her hobbies than homemade vases or photo frames. Although they, if well made, will give grandmother reason to be proud of her grandson or granddaughter.

So, what can you give your grandmother for her birthday, on March 8, New Year's Eve or any other holiday?

In principle, grandma will be happy with any craft. But if you want to do something really nice, you have to try a little harder.

Postcards .

This is the easiest and most logical craft, which you can quickly make from cardboard, paper, glue and paint.

But the card can look much more attractive if you can make it in the technique:

• Origami (folding three-dimensional shapes of paper);
• scrapbooking (decorating with flowers, ribbons, bows, finishing the edges with special punches);
• Quilling (drawing patterns from twisted strips of paper).

For this, it is not necessary to buy expensive paper or special devices. At the first stage, you can do with the usual sheets, ribbons, beads and sequins, which are sure to be found in every home where there lives a little fashionista. And boys can ask their mother to buy decorative cords or beautiful artificial flowers.

A good card will perfectly complement the main gift and take the most honorable place on the shelf with souvenirs.

Just do not forget to write there the words of love and gratitude.

Flowers

It is unlikely that a small child can buy an expensive bouquet of flowers on their own or ask for a beautifully packaged single flower.

But a homemade flower arrangement he can create with his own hands. You don't have to be a super-master to do this, just watch a video lesson or a master class.

Beautiful bouquets can be made from paper, magazines, satin ribbons, fluffy wool.

If you want to create an original handicraft, you can make an unusual floating cup or topiary.

Soaring cup

To make a handicraft in the form of a cup hanging in the air will be needed:

• a set of cups with a saucer;
• A fork, which can be bent. Aluminum material will work perfectly;
• quality glue;
• artificial flowers (you can make it yourself), ribbons, bows.

Making a beautiful and unusual gift only at first glance seems to be a difficult and time-consuming process. In fact, everything is much easier. The base of the fork is bent at an angle of 40-60 degrees.

To the end of the cutlery glued cup bottom up. After the glue hardens, the inside of the cup and fork is decorated with flowers, beads, bows. The base of the fork is glued to the saucer and the top is also decorated.

Such a simple idea will help make a worthy surprise for any grandmother.

Topiary

A beautiful decoration of a shelf or table is made from a balloon, glue and thread.

Apply a layer of glue to a lightly inflated balloon. On top of the glue are wound threads in a completely random order. When the blank is completely dry, the balloon is carefully pierced and removed from the craft.

Threaded sphere is decorated with butterflies and ribbons, flowers and sequins.

The finished ball is glued to a cocktail straw or a pastry skewer.

The resulting trunk is wrapped with green or brown ribbon, installed in a pot with decorative stones.

A good gift is ready.

Planters and vases

A nice cachet can be a good present. Especially if the grandmother is fond of growing plants.

For the simplest flower pot you will need:

• Mayonnaise bucket;
• glue;
• Twine or ribbon;
• elements for decoration (coffee beans, buttons, beads, flowers, coins, lace).

Mayonnaise bucket should be smeared with glue and tightly wrapped with twine, woolen thread, ribbons. Winding can be both horizontally and diagonally. So the handicraft will look more attractive. You can put several layers of thread.

When the glue dries, decorate the resulting craft.

Now at the bottom of the bucket you can place a layer of pebbles, pour soil and plant some flower.

And you can make a few of these pots and plant in them spicy herbs, buying seeds. Such a gift is perfect for any spring holiday, as the seeds will quickly give sprouts and the windowsill will be decorated with fresh and useful greenery.

Beautiful vases can be made from any bottle, but for stability it is better to use a glass container. The bottle is wrapped with thread, applied with glue wool, rolled in grits or rhinestones, even coarse salt is used.

You can make an original candlestick from an old glass in the same way, in addition beautifully decorating the remaining glass with toothpaste or paint.

Herbalist

Such a handcraft will be a good decoration for a windowsill.

For making a herbalist, you can take any sock, soil and grass seeds. In the sock is poured soil, top of which are placed the seeds. Handicraft is formed in the form of a funny kolobok or Smeshariki, sewn with eyes to the muzzle.

Such grasshopper can be made in the form of a snowman, a rabbit, a kitten. Everything will depend on the imagination of a master do-it-yourselfer.

Useful gifts

With their own hands you can make not only cute, but also useful crafts.

• Granddaughter can knit a fluffy scarf or mittens, cozy socks, sew towels and oven mitts for the kitchen, embroidering them with beautiful patterns.
• Grandson will please grandmother with homemade shelves and cutting boards.
• Beautiful jewelry boxes and craft baskets can be made from toothpicks or pastry skewers, woven from vine or newspaper tubes.
• Delicious cookies or homemade cake can be made even without baking, as well as beautifully made sandwiches or chopped salad.
• You can make a wall newspaper with photos or an electronic presentation.
• For those who like gardening, handicrafts for dacha will be useful.
• You can make a notebook or a planner for work.

In general, you can make a beautiful or useful gift with your own hands from almost any material. The main thing is that it should be made with soul, and grandma will definitely notice it.
