Snail

A snail is a clear example of a simple foil craft for children. It does not require special diligence to make, so it is suitable as a task for kindergarten-age children.

Since the product is simple, the result can be achieved on the first try, which is important for any child. Another advantage of this craft is that there is no need to use glue.

Prepare:

• a Pepsi bottle cap;
• two pieces of wire.

Then follow the following instructions:

1. Wrap the lid with foil.
2. Fold another piece of foil into a strip. Its length should exceed the diameter of the lid by 3 times.
3. Attach the parts to each other and insert the wire horns.

A snail made in this way will be an excellent decoration for a shelf with children's books.

Master class: “Making New Year’s decorations from foil”

Dear colleagues, I continue to introduce you to my new ideas on the topic: Making Christmas tree decorations and decorations from foil.

Today I will tell you how to make your own New Year's lanterns, silver decorations from plastic spools and beads for the Christmas tree.

Candy beads:

To make beads, we need empty cylinders - spools of sewing thread (they can be cardboard or plastic), decorative braid, foil or candy wrappers and a little imagination.

First, we string the coils onto the braid, leaving a small distance between them.

Then we alternately wrap the frame with foil or candy wrappers, tying the ends with thread or twisting them. If you wish, you can decorate the candies with decor. The beads are ready, you can decorate the Christmas tree with them.

Silver jewelry.

To make these jewelry I used the following materials and tools:

empty round spools of wire for beading, foil, seed beads, beads, rhinestones, buttons, “Snowflake” decor, “Bell” decor, ribbons, braid, scissors, universal glue.

We cut out two circles from foil, with a diameter slightly larger than the coil itself (allowances are needed for folding on the sides).

We first place a circle of foil on one side and tightly bend the edges, then we cover the other side of the coil.

We insert and tie a ribbon into the groove of the spool so that the decoration can be hung and begin to decorate.

Here's what I got:

New Year's lanterns.

To make lanterns, we need a cardboard frame from a box with egg cells, foil, ribbons, braid, beads, rhinestones, plastic skewers for “Canapes,” universal glue, scissors, an awl.

First you need to make blanks for the flashlight, I talked about this earlier (see Master class “Making a Christmas tree toy “Bell” from December 26, 2015). To make one lantern you will need two bell blanks, only without the “tongue”.

We pierce two holes in the upper part with an awl and tie a ribbon or braid for hanging.

Then the two halves need to be glued together and decorated with beads, rhinestones, and decorative elements from skewers. The flashlight is ready.

Under the bright light of Christmas tree garlands, these decorations will not go unnoticed, because the shine of silver will immediately attract people's attention.

Our New Year tree has been replenished with new silver decorations and beads. I suggest you try to do it yourself.

I wish you all creative success, thank you for your attention! Happy New Year.

Master class “Spider from foil” To make a spider you will need foil, a landscape sheet and scissors. Let's prepare sheets of foil: most of it for the body, 4 parts for the legs.

Fungus

A similar technology is used to create mushrooms. The basis for the hat can be a coat button, a semicircular cap, 1/2 an egg from Kinder-surprise. The element needs to be placed in the center of a piece of foil, wrapped in it, simultaneously twisting it into a mushroom stalk.

To make the craft more stable, it is better to make the lower part of the leg thicker. And for greater naturalness, you should dent the hat a little.

Decorating with foil

The foil can be torn into pieces and rolled into balls. In the future, they can be used to decorate various paper products. For example, by gluing them onto a sheep template, you can convey the texture of its fur.

As you can see in the photo of crafts made from foil, a similar method is also suitable for decorating a tennis ball and decorating gift wrapping.

Techniques for working with foil

There are several main ways to create light and more complex foil crafts:

• Embossing on the surface of the material.
• Rolling into tubes.
• Rolling shapes with your fingers.

For creative groups of younger ages, a simplified system for making children's crafts from foil is used by gluing a bright glossy figure onto a cardboard backing. This technique is quite simple and does not require any special tools or skills.

Fish

"Fish" is ideal for introducing children to the things that can be made from foil. To create the feeling of waves, the paper base needs to be painted blue, and then sprinkled with blue paint and sprinkled with salt.

You can use another sheet for the sky. It should be decorated in blue tones. It is recommended to rub the not dried paint with a paper napkin to make it more realistic. You need to slip a grid under the foil - when you run a stick over it, patterns similar to scales will appear.

The fish can be colored with a marker. When choosing a shade, you should use your imagination. Next, the figure needs to be cut out and glued onto a piece of paper with the sea, adding a picture of the sky to the composition.

little man

Here are the instructions for making a figurine of a man:

1. Cut the metallized paper into strips measuring 100*400 mm.
2. Roll each into cylinders.
3. Bend the resulting blanks in half.
4. Make a man's head at the bend point.
5. Bend the ends of the cylinder, maintaining symmetry - these will be the handles.
6. Twist the loose ends into a body, then separate them again and make legs.

Volumetric drawings

When creating crafts from foil with your own hands, you can use the extrusion technique. The simplest example is pressing the pattern of a coin with a cotton swab. If you do this with both sides of the money, and then cut and glue them together, you will get a means of payment for children's games.

Having gained experience, you can move on to making three-dimensional pictures. You need to apply the design you like onto a sheet of paper, circle it with glue and leave to dry. Then put a layer of foil on top and slowly begin to press it in with a cloth.

If you are too lazy to fuss with glue, then purchase special plastic backings with patterns.

Twisting the foil

Another technique that can be used when working with foil is twisting. It is usually used if you want to make a wicker decoration.

To make flagella from foil, it is cut into strips 2 cm wide, and then each is rolled into a cylinder. Moreover, both kinks and crumpling are possible, as well as weaving the strips into each other if long blanks are required.

Flower

To make the craft even easier, you can purchase a ready-made kit for making a bunch of grapes in advance at a craft store, which will have everything you need. But it’s much more interesting and exciting to create something yourself.

First of all, study the manufacturing technique and purchase foil for crafts or chocolates in such a wrapper. The latter will require about twenty pieces, so it is more practical to purchase a roll of foil for baking.

Prepare two templates: stems and berries (grapes). In order to make the latter, you need to form balls from foil with tails of two to three centimeters. To make a stem, twist the foil into a tube ten to thirteen centimeters long.

Twenty such blanks must be made of each type. Next, we tie together four or five grapes around one stem, thus forming a bunch. Make bunches from all available blanks, and then tie them into one large one.

To create leaves, you need to fold a star with five ends from foil tubes, the rays of which are also made from pre-prepared elements. Here you can show your imagination and create leaves of any desired shape. The main thing is the similarity to real leaves.
