How to make crafts like this (clickable)

A brand new dish sponge is a very attractive item in itself: bright, dense, elastic. Why not a cake! This wonderful set of cakes was made by teacher from Armavir Tatyana Kiryushatova.

Please note how simple the craft technique is: small sponges do not need to be cut, and anything can be used as decoration - broken hairpins, scraps of braid and buttons. The main thing is to glue them more securely.

” The set of “cakes” is very durable, and if necessary, they can... be washed!

Variations on the theme of the previous craft: Anna Pristash did not use a dish sponge, but a two-color washcloth with a textured surface, and the result was a real “cake with cream.”

” In general, pieces of “cake” can be easily obtained by cutting a sponge into triangular pieces. Mom is the best person to handle this task. Well, then you can do whatever you want with such a blank!

Progress of the lesson

I. Motivational moment.

One July day, while waiting for a river crossing, I found myself in a forest clearing. I decided to take a walk along it. In the baking season, the stumps had thin stems, and on them were strawberries. I couldn’t resist taking a photo of her. The prankster played a tricky game with me. Bending down, carefully unbending the stems, she looked for ripe berries. What a fragrant berry the wild strawberry turned out to be!

For a long time these scarlet lights haunted me. And I decided to make a craft in memory of the strawberry meadow.

II. Formulation of the problem.

The question arose: “What material is it made of?” From paper? Made from plasticine? I remembered that I recently bought dishwashing sponges of different colors. I was delighted and got to work.

III. Statement of the topic and purpose of the master class.

So, the theme of the master class is “Mosaic from a sponge “A drop of summer on a thin leg.”

IV. Discovery of new knowledge

1. Cook first necessary materials and tools.

2. Using a computer, make an image of a strawberry and copy it (you can draw it yourself) onto a yellow sheet of paper (if you wish, you can take paper of a different color).

3. Let's start doing the work with the berries. Take red and yellow sponges. The craft will be more tender if we tear off pieces from the sponge rather than cut them off with scissors. First, apply glue to the drawing of one berry and, using a toothpick and a plastic stick, place the torn pieces of red color, and yellow color between them.

Then put it under a press, as the sponge swells from the glue. Then continue to fill in the drawing of all the strawberries one by one.

4. Using this technology, fill in the pattern of strawberry leaves with pieces of green sponge in different tones, and then with stems.

5. For the core of the strawberry flower, take a piece of yellow sponge, and the flower itself - white.

6. Ready product Place to dry under a light press.

V. Summary.

Now put the craft in the frame

Hang it on the wall.

It turned out to be a wonderful picture. For me it will be a memory of a strawberry meadow, and for you, your children and guests - a drop of summer.

VI. Reflection

In the summer, you will probably go with your children, family, and friends to the forest, to a meadow where berries or flowers grow. Remember, although they grow in the forest, they also need to be protected, otherwise they may disappear. The forest reveals its secrets to those who come to it as a friend. Become friends too. And you yourself will not offend the one you love, and you will not let others offend you.
