Handmade "The sun from cotton buds"
We will need:
- cotton swabs on a plastic base,
- yellow clay,
- yellow watercolor paint,
- scissors.
First, we will prepare the "rays". We cut the wadded sticks with scissors in half. It is better to take sticks on a plastic base of white or yellow, but they are also suitable for wood, in this case it is necessary to carefully break them in half, wrapping the cloth so that there are no splinters left.
Wash the sticks with a good stain in yellowpaint and leave to dry. The basis of the sun is a ball of yellow plasticine of any size. In it you need to stick the rays from the rods - first make a ring, then staggered the second and so on the entire surface.
The ready sun, if desired, can be covered in places with any glue and sprinkled with sequins.

- thin paper or cloth,
- drawing,
- brush,
- paints.
The basis of our mosaic picture will bedrawing from the coloring. It is better to choose a picture with a minimum of small details, and the creation process will be easier, and the result is more beautiful. Egg shell must be crushed to the desired size. Do it simply - fill it on a cutting board, cover with a cloth or paper and gently rock it with a rolling pin. It is important to ensure that the mass does not turn into fine crumb or dust - the particle size should be approximately 5 mm.
Then gently spread the adhesive on the part of the picture,leaving the contours, and sprinkle them with shredded shell. When all the necessary parts are decorated, leave the drawing to dry and then paint the composition with any artistic paints. A ready picture is placed in the frame. It can be any frame for pictures or photographs, or a self-made frame made of colored cardboard, carved with figured scissors.
Hand-crafted "Wood from napkins"
We need:
- large green napkins,
- soft ball of medium size,
- shashlik sticks,
- PVA glue,
- a piece of styrofoam or plasticine,
- stapler,
- scissors,
- gouache.
To begin with, we prepare the basis for the future tree. The barrel will replace the connected shashlik sticks. They can easily be glued with a simple PVA glue, and after that, dry thoroughly. The dried "trunk" is covered with brown gouache.
The stand or pot can be made from a small piece of foam or molded from plasticine (without a cavity). It is important to consider what weight the upper part will be, so that the tree does not overturn.
Ready-made pot, if desired, we cover with paintany color. The "crown" of the tree will be attached to the ball. You can take a small old rubber or plastic ball, cut it yourself from the foam or make of crumpled paper, threaded thread. Now we are preparing the leaves. Do not unfold the napkin (it should be thick enough), cut out small circles and fasten the center stapler. After this, we start to bend and slightly turn all the layers of the napkin in turn.
Such openwork circles are glued to the ball, starting from the top. When all the leaves are pasted - firmly connect the crown, trunk and pot, and the tree is ready.
