Handmade crafts for March 8 - a selection of cool master classes for children

March 8 - a holiday dear mothers and grandmothers. It is on this day they receive warm congratulations and unusual gifts. Of course, now you can buy everything you want in the stores, but a beautiful gift, prepared with your own hands, will please your loved one much more than a store-bought surprise.

Moms are different, as well as grandmothers. Some like to cook, some prefer to do handicrafts, while others love to walk or watch soap operas. Therefore, gifts for each of the most wonderful moms will be different. Although there is something all women have in common: they all love sweets, flowers and unusual surprises.

Postcards

Every present is usually accompanied by a postcard with the most pleasant words and wishes. If the postcard is beautifully done, it would be a shame to put it on the desk of even the most conservative organization.

The simplest card can be made by a child. Most often, such a child's gift is made by applique or coloring.

A beautiful and unusual card can be made using three-dimensional flowers from paper or ribbons, plasticine or spirals of paper, dried flowers and small bows. Using shaped punches, you can give the card an airy look.

A large card in which each family member can write the nicest wishes would be a good gift. And you can also make a whole scrapbook, combining all the sheets with greetings and beautiful cards, appliques, drawings. The cover of such an unusual album can be a thick cardboard or a piece of wallpaper, but it must first be straightened. A beautiful decoration would be a pattern of coffee beans or rhinestones, beads, ribbons.

Modern home computer tools allow you to make unusual video cards or cute presentations, in which even relatives and friends who are far away can participate.

Flowers

A beautiful bouquet will always make your mother or grandmother happy. But a gorgeous composition will quickly wither, and the cost of a large piece of floral art is impressive.

Therefore, very often children make an original bouquet with their own hands.

To do this, you can use:

Plasticine and sliced woolen threads (you will get a sprig of mimosa or a cute verbot);
plain paper (you will get flat daisies and bright gerberas);
several layers of plain paper (fluffy asters and dahlias are made);
corrugated paper (usually used to make ornate roses);
Plastic bottles (with the help of fire they will turn into lovely hyacinths and irises).

And the flower can also be crocheted, molded from plasticine or salt dough.

An unusual gift would be a topiary. Usually, such crafts are made from a balloon wrapped in string. But you can take a fairly thick wire and make a pretty tree in the form of a heart or figure eight. To decorate the crown use flowers or butterflies, ribbons and beads. The trunk of a topiary can be a wire, a branch of a real tree, an ice-cream stick or a cocktail straw.

Bouquets from candy

Such an idea is not new, however, such a handicraft will be very pleasant for mom. After all, it combines flowers and candy.

To make a handicraft, make petals of corrugated paper, slightly squeezing and then spreading them to the diameter of the candy. The candy itself is attached with scotch tape to a culinary skewer or toothpick, and the petals are tied tightly with string. Skewers can be wrapped with green scotch tape and decorated with petals of plasticine or colored paper.

The resulting flowers will take a worthy place in a vase. And they can also be filled into a box or basket, or into the back of a toy car. Mom will be happy with such an unusual surprise.

From candy on skewers, you can create a pineapple, a skirt for a doll, a bunch of grapes and many more unusual and attractive handicrafts.

Wrapping

Even in purchased gifts you can put a piece of your soul, if it is beautifully decorated. For this purpose, make gift boxes of cardboard, bags of fabric (any fabric from the most delicate organza to burlap is used), baskets of vine or newspaper tubes. The latter creation can be further used for purely practical purposes. A master class for creating such a container can easily be found on the Internet. There are described step by step instructions on how to create charming baskets.

For jewelry, you can make a jewelry box with your own hands from woolen thread, toothpicks and thick cardboard. The same cute little thing you can present to your girlfriend.

Three-dimensional letters

Initials and words of love can be made from large three-dimensional letters, which are filled with artificial flowers and beautifully decorate any room. It is easy and simple to make them from cardboard, you just need to find or come up with a quality drawing.

Edible gifts.

This category includes all sorts of goodies, from unusual shaped sandwiches to homemade cake. Even the simplest recipe will help to create a festive mood. Some of the goodies can be made very quickly even without baking.

And holiday cookies can be placed on paper with written wishes or a beautiful openwork napkin, cut out in the manner of a snowflake.

An excellent decoration for the holiday table would be a bottle of champagne, decorated in the form of a doll with a skirt of kitchen napkin with a small cap on the cork. For decoration you can use artificial flowers, a necklace of small beads or beads.

Useful gifts

Such gifts for home and garden include shelves, cutting boards, a variety of cachepots. And you can also make a funny herbalist out of an unnecessary sock, soil and grass seeds.

A beautiful frame for a photo will turn out of two sheets of cardboard and the most favorite photo. The frame is decorated with various elements of decor.

A great gift would be knitted things. This can be a fluffy scarf, warm home socks, a rug made of terry towels.

Embroidered napkins or towels, unusual pouches covered in old jeans or shirts can act as a surprise. Even a T-shirt can serve as a pillowcase.

For those who like to create with their own hands a needle case or a basket for needlework will be useful.

Home cooks will be happy with gloves, coasters for hot dishes from clothespins or wine corks, jars for spices, made from baby food jars and beautifully decorated with beads, rhinestones, salt.
