Do-it-yourself layout. "Temple of Russia. Church from a plastic bottle. Craft for the week of Orthodox culture How to make a church out of plasticine

The Divnogorsk priest managed to unite the efforts of caring citizens to help people who find themselves in a difficult life situation. But today the parish itself needs help - the house adapted for the temple is being destroyed and on major holidays it no longer accommodates all the worshipers.

The growth in the birth rate in Divnogorsk, a small town near Krasnoyarsk, unexpectedly turned into a sharp increase in “refuseniks”. The head of the children's department of the city hospital, Gennady Timoshchenko, clutched his head. The local budget did not provide for a threefold increase in hospital costs for food, diapers and nurses. But, remembering that in the city there is a temple of the Icon of the Mother of God "The Sign", where families with many children go, the doctor came to its rector, Priest Pavel Tretyakov. Batiushka, himself a father of many children, quickly got to the heart of the problem and urged parishioners to help the hospital.

At first, the collected funds were enough, but help was needed regularly. Then the idea was born in the parish - to turn to the local newspaper for help: "The Fires of the Yenisei". Her next issue came out with a catchy headline on the front page: "Attention: Abandoned Children!" After these publications, few of the Divnogorsk residents remained indifferent. The material side of the problem was solved. Moreover, under the editorship of Ogni, a board of trustees was formed, which, together with representatives of the Church and the city hospital, included entrepreneurs and business leaders.


City Divnogorsk hospital - children's department. Now there are six refuseniks there, but three of them have already found new families. The chief pediatrician of the city, Gennady Timoshchenko, is sure that all other children will find new parents as well. thanks to joint work The church, the local newspaper and the city hospital managed to do this all previous years.

But the head of the children's department and Fr. Pavel understood that the best prospect for orphans was a full-fledged family. And again the Znamensky parish and the local press joined their efforts, but now they were aimed at finding parents for the kids.

Father Pavel also adopted an abandoned child. “The look of this boy sunk into my soul so much that I didn’t sleep for two nights,” says Fr. Paul. “The boy was born with a serious injury to the cervical vertebrae, his mother ran away on the second day after birth.” The mother did not write an official refusal, and Father Pavel had to go through the court for the right to adopt. “These were two years of trials, but God repays with His mercy,” the priest smiles. “By the way, Seryozha’s birthday is October 8, the day of memory of St. Sergius of Radonezh,” Father Pavel says, “Mother gave him a name without knowing it.” Now the father, along with the foster child, has five children (the fifth - Maxim was just born).

In total, five children found new parents in the Znamensky parish.

Paradoxically, it sometimes happened that abandoned children rescued adults. Tatyana's youngest son died on the road. “Before that, I lived a carefree life, not really delving into other people's problems. She did not go to church, although she took her children to Sunday school. Roma's death almost crushed me. Sometimes I did not understand where I was and what was happening to me, - says Tatyana. - My heart trembled when I saw in the newspaper a photograph of the "refusenik" Sasha. I suggested to my husband: "Let's take it, this is not a replacement, I just want to help another kid in need in memory of Chamomile." Sasha had rickets, his mother had syphilis. It took a lot of time and effort to treat the boy, but these worries brought me back to life. It turned out that we saved him, and he saved me. Shortly after the registration of guardianship, my daughter Anechka was born with my husband. ” Today Tatiana's family has four children. She is a parishioner of the Church of the Sign, she sings on the kliros, and she is sure that the support and prayer of the parish helped her overcome the spiritual crisis in many ways.


This baby's name is Daniel. The mother has not abandoned him, but she does not come to him either. He suffered a clinical death, he constantly has a headache and a temperature of 40 degrees. He cries continuously in pain. Doctors sometimes give him pain-relieving injections so he can rest. His left foot is twisted, but the operation cannot be done in his condition. Danilka calmed down only when the priest took him in his arms. Guardianship authorities are preparing to deprive his mother of parental rights so that he can be adopted or taken under guardianship. But Gennady Timoshchenko is afraid that the baby may not live to see the court's decision. He is only 1 year and 2 months old. The boy was baptized and he really needs your prayers


All Divnogorsk has recently become convinced of the power of joint prayer. A year ago, Alena, a young parishioner of the Church of the Sign, was blind. Death loved one and a series of serious illnesses provoked an eye disease. When the girl began to go blind, the Krasnoyarsk ophthalmologists said that she was doomed to complete blindness, because of an advanced disease, her left eye had to be removed. "Is there any hope of saving the second one?" she asked the doctors. “No, get ready to remove him too. And don’t torture your loved ones, don’t run to the doctors and don’t waste money, you are inoperable,” she was told. She obeyed and resigned herself to her blindness (the right eye finally stopped seeing). Suffering from continuous pain in her eyes led Alena to the temple, all this time Alena fervently prayed to God, Rev. Sergius of Radonezh and bl. Matrona of Moscow, dreaming of venerating their relics, although there were no funds for a trip to the capital. And suddenly she was offered a ticket to the Moscow sanatorium for the blind. So Alenina's dream came true, and she venerated the relics of her beloved saints. When she and her mother returned to Divnogorsk, a free ticket to a paid clinic was waiting for them, the doctor of which insisted that Alena go to Irkutsk for an operation. Both the city and the parish collected money for Alena for this trip. "Fires of the Yenisei" again announced an action to help a person in trouble. Before the operation, the girl venerated the relics of St. Innocent of Irkutsk. The operation was successful, the Irkutsk doctors discovered that the initial diagnosis was wrong, and the next day the bandage was removed from the eye. Now Alena sees, although wearing glasses with strong diopters. “When you pray yourself, the Lord, of course, hears you. But when the whole temple prays for you, this prayer is immeasurably stronger,” she says.


Znamensky temple has two priests. They are brothers - Father Pavel, the rector of the temple (in the photo on the right) and Father Alexei (left) Tretyakov. Father Aleksey recently underwent a craniotomy, they removed a tumor on his brain the size of egg. Before the operation, the neurosurgeon said that at best, if Father Aleksey survived, he would become a “plant”. But the priest successfully underwent the operation, the course of irradiation, and today he is already serving the liturgy. It is noteworthy that he went to the operation when his mother was taken to the hospital


Children of priests. Father Pavel has five children (one adopted). Father Aleksey has three

This story is only a small part of the life of the Church of the Sign. Everyone who is in trouble is helped by his parishioners. When large family Doroshenko burned down a house on the outskirts of Divnogorsk, men from the parish helped clear the site for new construction. In cooperation with social services and local entrepreneurs, the parish organizes the collection and distribution of food packages and things to the poor.


Znamensky Parish


But even those who help others sometimes need help themselves. Today, a significant part of the donations goes to repair the old building of the temple, where the parish is located. Low ceilings and a small room do not allow for large holidays to accommodate all the parishioners. Therefore, the Znamensky parish of Divnogorsk is praying for a new church. 20 people took the blessing to read the entire Psalter every day (each one reads one kathisma a day). On Friday, at the Akathist to the Icon of the Mother of God “The Sign,” they turn to God with a request to help “benefactors and builders.” Fortunately, there is already a foundation for the future temple. And in the classroom Sunday school children are molding a new temple and people hurrying to it.

Our correspondent Alexei REUTSKY returned from a trip to the Krasnoyarsk Territory not only with a story about the Divnogorsk temple, but also with wonderful photographs. We bring to your attention his photo essay:



Divnogorsk (40 km from Krasnoyarsk). It was built as a temporary settlement for the builders of the hydroelectric power station. But people stayed here to live after the construction of the hydroelectric power station. Now 24 thousand people live in it. The city has the prospect of developing as a ski resort. On weekends, all the hotels are packed with Krasnoyarsk residents. Only two enterprises are operating, the HPP and the Low-Voltage Equipment Plant (but the number of jobs there is limited). Most of the residents of Divnogorsk go to work in Krasnoyarsk. Gets up at 5 am, comes back at 7-8 pm






At the entrance to the temple of the Icon of the Mother of God "The Sign" in Divnogorsk, you are met by two figures from lake ice (they were made by one of the parishioners) - the Mother of God and the Angel





This ice sculpture, symbolizing the temple, stood near the ice font, in which water was blessed for Epiphany. The average winter temperature here is minus 15 degrees, and the sculptures do not melt until April. Ice sculptures are also in Krasnoyarsk


A spur of the Eastern Sayans and the Yenisei flowing between them. Its width here is 1 km. At the mouth of the Yenisei is 20 km. Thanks to the hydroelectric power station (built in 1972), the water does not freeze for another 60 km from the dam. Its temperature is +4 degrees. HPP height 100 meters


Near the hydroelectric power station there is a unique structure - a conveyor for carrying ships across the dam. They enter a special bath (pictured below), which then descends along these rails to the Yenisei. It was impossible to build locks: the drop of the dam is 100 meters and very steep



Krasnoyarsk Big Ben, the most remarkable building of modern architecture

An observation deck, a place of wedding "pilgrimage" 10 km from Krasnoyarsk, where a year ago, local newlyweds had a tradition to seal their bonds on their wedding day with locks. Now there are about 1000 of these locks. They throw the keys into the Yenisei. Some hang one lock, but a healthy one!


On the observation deck there is also a monument to the "Tsar-fish" of the writer Astafyev. His village Ovsyanka is located below, under this observation deck

Monument to St. Luke Voino-Yasenetsky near the bishop's house where Vladyka lived (there is also a museum of the saint nearby, during the war there was a hospital). Now in the former bishop's house - the church of John the Baptist


Some buildings in Krasnoyarsk are painted in poisonous colors, which is probably beautiful. Traffic jams in the city center are the same as in Moscow


The highest point of Krasnoyarsk is Karaulnaya Gora. The chapel of Paraskeva Pyatnitsa stands on it - in the photo below (like the Krasnoyarsk hydroelectric power station, the chapel is depicted on a 10 ruble bill)

Introducing step-by-step photo tutorials that will teach you how to make a church out of plastic bottle, plasticine, toothpicks, paper and even pasta.

If you know how to make a church, then you can make this craft from various materials. Not only cardboard will be used, colored paper, but also matches, and even pasta.

How to make a paper church

To make it, take:

  • whatman;
  • cardboard;
  • acrylic paints;
  • a plastic bottle with a domed top;
  • acrylic paint different color, including gold and silver;
  • scissors;
  • glue;
  • blue colored paper;
  • marker;
  • ruler;
  • icons scanned on paper.

Before you make a church, provide a pedestal for it. Make it from a sheet of thick cardboard, and cover it with paving stones printed on a color printer on top. Now let's start painting the details. To make the walls, you will need to cut out four such blanks by connecting them.

Cut out rectangles from blue paper, using a ruler and a black marker, draw these future windows as follows.

Cut out the door from brown cardboard, glue both rectangular and semicircular elements on top of it so that this part becomes more voluminous and it is clear that there are stones or bricks on it.

Cut out two door handles from yellow cardboard. To make steps for entering the church, you will need to cut semicircles out of cardboard different size, then glue them in order, starting with the smallest ones, ending with the largest ones at the bottom.

To make a dome for a church, cut the top off a matching bottle. All of it needs to be pasted over with plasticine, close the hole in the neck area and make this part more elongated. Then glue the dome with pieces of newspaper, wetting them in PVA glue.

Prime the dome using a real primer or white paint.

By this time the primer has dried, now you can paint the dome with gold acrylic paint in two or three layers.

Glue the windows to the appropriate markings. Glue the dome on top.

See how you need to assemble and arrange the workpiece. After gluing windows to the walls, attach a brown tape with small windows to the bottom, then glue the church layout to make it voluminous. Do not forget to stick on the appropriate places and icons. Glue the paper on top to become the roof.

Paint it with silver paint interspersed with brown. And with the same composition, mark the forged elements above the visor of the first door, and the column of the other must be painted with brown paint. Glue a silver cross to the dome, then glue the tower in the center of the composition.

Here's how to make a paper church. The process is very interesting, and you and your child will create such a significant thing from improvised materials. This is a model of the church, which is called "Hodegetria of Jerusalem", and it is located in Taganrog.

The next master class will also be easy for the child if you help him.

DIY pasta church

It is from this material that the next church will be built.

These flour products will create walls, openwork pasta will become decoration elements. Here is what you will need to take:

  • pasta of different textures;
  • scissors;
  • pencil;
  • ruler;
  • long cover;
  • foil;
  • hot gun;
  • cardboard.

Create a hexagon out of cardboard, then use it to make walls of this shape. Cover it with pasta.

Attach flat noodles at the corners and at the top to complete the finish. And with openwork elements you need to steal the top of the walls and make columns by folding this pasta in a pile.

From a sheet of cardboard, cut out a hexagon, as well as a cone. Glue the elements together. Using a hot gun, attach flat pasta on top. Decorate the junction of these two figures with semicircular pasta.

Make a dome from openwork vermicelli. To give it a shape, you can glue the top of a plastic bottle, which is made in the form of a dome, with these flour products. Glue a cross made from flat pasta in the center. Attach this dome to the created roof.

From cardboard, cut out the porch of the following shape, glue it on the outside with pasta.

Decorate the corners of this product with flat noodles, and also decorate the roof over the porch with these pasta and horns.

Cover the elongated cover with plasticine, and then glue this part with foil.

You have a bell. Use a glue gun to stick it in place. Here's how to make a DIY pasta church.

If an adult needs such a thing, then he can use matches as a material. The work is more painstaking, but very interesting.

How to make a church out of matches - step by step instructions with photos

To create such beauty, take:

  • candy box;
  • toothpicks or matches;
  • PVA furniture glue;
  • copper wire with a cross section of 0.33 mm;
  • for the base - fiberboard, chipboard or plywood;
  • floral candy foil;
  • veneer.

Here are the tools you will need:

  • ruler;
  • sharp knife;
  • eraser pencil;
  • curved or straight scissors;
  • bar;
  • tweezers;
  • compass;
  • clothespins;
  • carnation 2 mm.

The Lazarevskaya church of the 14th century was taken as the basis.

The master used this photo, making markings here. Redraw or reprint this drawing to know what dimensions will need to be considered when creating a church with your own hands. Calculations are given in millimeters.

To make it easier to make a temple, keep in mind that you need to conditionally divide it into 3 parts. The central one is the church itself, the refectory is located on the right, and the altar is on the left.

Here's how to make a church. To do this, take a thin cardboard and draw four walls, which are a square with sides of 5 cm.

As you can see, you need to draw windows in two walls, then cut them out with a thin knife or scalpel.

You can use matches, toothpicks or a wooden stack to build walls.

The next step is to determine the length of the wooden blanks. If you took a long stack, you will need to cut off parts from it. If toothpicks are used, cut off the sharp ends.

Now you can start making the temple. First decorate the wall on which there is glass.

See how you need to arrange wooden blanks, gluing them.

As you can see, these logs need to be moved through one - then to the left, then to the right. Now cut a strip of cardboard measuring 5 by 2 cm. Bend it approximately in half in the middle.

Make 4 such corners, and with their help assemble the frame of the future structure. As you can see, these corners need to be placed vertically and glued to each of two walls.

Measure the width of the wooden log so you know how much bigger the wall has become. Initially, it is 5 cm, if the thickness of this wooden blank is 3 mm, then it turns out that now the wall is 53 mm. But since the “logs” protrude in both directions, it means that now the wall width is 56 mm. Therefore, it is necessary to cut out two triangles of exactly this width for the pediment. If you have other calculations, then simply attach the wall to a sheet of cardboard and cut two triangles along its width.

Now you will need to glue these two triangles with wooden blanks.

Then attach these gables on both sides to the log cabins, glue them, fix them in this position with clothespins until the glue is completely dry.

Here's how to make a matchstick church next. While the main building dries up, you will be engaged in the manufacture of the refectory. Also make four cardboard walls for it, mark windows on three, and a door on one. The windows must be cut with a sharp knife, and the door must be cut on three sides so that it opens.

Also start gluing matches, pieces of a wooden stack or toothpicks to this blank, moving them to the right, then to the left.

From this strip, make such a box, glue its two opposite walls to make a log house. For a while, also fix this place with a clothespin.

Then, as in the previous case, attach and glue the gables. Please note that one of them is fixed from the side of the door.

Make the third room in the same way, it should be slightly smaller than the first two.

To make a roof, you need to measure the length of the refectory, the altar, the church. Add 4mm.

Now, according to the marking of each building, cut out the roofs from cardboard, bend these blanks in half.

Glue these roofs onto each of your buildings. Now we need to cover them. To do this, cut the semblance of boards from veneer.

Make a cutout on the central roof, glue this pipe here. Cut the veneer into wider and longer pieces, glue them so that they cover the cardboard roofs.

To make a cross, you can use the following device. On such a bar, you need to fill 3 groups of nails on the reverse side. Now start wrapping them with copper wire from above.

Here is the cross.

To make a dome, cut circles. The largest will be 19 mm in diameter, the next 17 mm, 15 mm, 13 mm, 11 mm, 9 mm. The smallest is 5 mm. Glue them like this.

Punch a hole in the center of the round blanks with a nail. Now take a strip of colored foil 10 cm long, put a dome on it, drop glue into the recess, put a cross inside.

Now twist the foil, making the dome in this way.

Cut the foil at the bottom of the dome so that you can glue it later.

From fiberboard, plywood or chipboard, cut out two layers of church bases and glue them together. Glue this blank over so that the surface resembles masonry. Pour glue inside, put the church here and attach it.

It will remain on the made pedestal in the form of a pipe to glue the dome. Here's how to make a matchstick church to look like the real thing.

Sometimes a week of Orthodox culture is held in schools, you need to bring crafts on this topic. If you make such a beautiful blue and white church with your child, he will surely take a prize.

Before you make a church of this kind, you will need to prepare:

  • plastic bottle;
  • cardboard cover from the box;
  • wire;
  • rope;
  • lace and braid;
  • blue and white plasticine;
  • cotton wool;
  • a strip of roll synthetic winterizer;
  • PVA glue;
  • foamiran or colored cardboard;
  • double sided tape;
  • scissors;
  • brush;
  • white paint.

First, take the lid on which the craft will be located, paint it with white paint. While the drying process is in progress, you will cut strips of cardboard or foamiran. They will help arrange a fence around the temple.

Sharpen the top ends of these strips to make them look like a picket fence.

In the meantime, the white paint on the box has dried, so it's time to glue the planks to the raised edges.

Let the glue dry, in the meantime, take the bottle, cut off the bottom.

You need to take a bottle whose upper part resembles the dome of a church, for example, from under mineral water.

Also cut off the top of this container. But here the plastic is durable, so it is better to heat the knife and gradually cut off the excess part.

Now measure 2 cm from the edge of the bottle and cut this part into strips. Then such a trick will help to fix the church on a horizontal surface.

Cover the top of the bottle with plasticine, making a pointed tip out of it here.

To make a cross, take the wire in the winding. Here it is in blue. First, bend it in half, make a loop here, then bend two more loops on the right and left sides.

Stick the resulting cross into the plasticine dome cap.

Tape the bottom of the bottle with double-sided tape. Now start peeling off the top paper layer gradually. First, remove it from the bottom coil of tape. Wrap here with the yarn of your choice.

Thus, you need to arrange the entire lower part of the bottle. Now glue strips of lace here. Above and in the middle they can be blue, and below silver.

Now there is another interesting work to be done, which will also shed light on how to make a church. You need to decorate the dome. To do this, together with the child, roll up balls of blue and blue and make cakes out of them. Start gluing them from the bottom to checkerboard pattern. The second row should be slightly shifted to the right and the subsequent ones too.

Now attach double-sided tape to the bottom of the cut strips from the plastic bottle and stick it onto the box.

You can cover the horizontal surface of the box with grass, glue trees and flowers made of rubber, plastic or other materials here. But in this case, a white and blue composition, so snowdrifts made of cotton wool would be appropriate. Put them on the box by gluing them. And in the center place a strip of synthetic winterizer. It also needs to be glued. Here's how to make a church look so amazing.

If you are interested in learning how to make a church out of matches, then the following master class will help.

An interesting idea is to make a paper temple using origami art. In just 12 minutes, you will acquire the skill and be able to make a church out of this material.

The days before Easter give the teacher a good opportunity to introduce kids to Orthodox architecture.
Show the children pictures of churches, go on a tour of a local temple, and then have your children build a small temple.
There are two ways to do this.

Method one

You need to take twelve whole plates of plasticine and round off the ends of each plate from one end. The result was naves - sectors of the temple wall. The nave plates are placed vertically and fastened together so that a “well” is obtained: they must be strongly pressed against each other and smeared on the inside of the “well”. The body of the temple is ready. Then a small piece of cardboard is placed on top of the “well”, which acts as a support, or ceiling, for the roof. The roof is made of a rectangular plasticine cake. And then a dome is fixed on the roof, topped with a cross made of plasticine or thinly sliced ​​matches.
Depending on the desire of the child, the temple can be one-domed, three-domed or five-domed. To establish more domes need a more massive body of the temple building.
Then they are squeezed out with a stack on the walls - windows are scratched. The side from which the entrance will be is selected. The entrance - the portal - can be molded from plasticine using the overlay method or, as in the case of windows, drawn with a stack.
If the temple was “built” from plasticine of the desired color (white plasticine was used for the walls, and yellow or blue was used for the domes), after the installation of the dome, it is considered ready.
If, in the process of modeling, a variety of plasticine was used, the building must be primed with starch or crushed chalk, and then painted with gouache.

Second way

From a rather large piece of plasticine, a parallelepiped is formed - the body of the future temple. A dome is attached to it. The further sequence of actions is the same as in the first method. This method is simpler, but at the same time it deprives the teacher of the opportunity to introduce the concept of "nave" to children.

The further plan of action is determined by the general plan. Each child can make a special model, inside which he will install his own church. Here you can tell the children that temples were usually erected on a hill. The hill can be made from a plasticine ball, which is given the desired shape. From above it is sprinkled with sand or earth, covered with turf. And you can install in a container with sprouted oats.
Perhaps the children would like the temple to stand on the shore of the lake. Or to have a garden around the church.
The main thing is that the composition should be expressive and through its creation the children would feel a special mood that Orthodox architecture usually evokes.

On the website of "Evening Orenburg" I found an interesting interview with a former sixth-year student of the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering of OSU Anastasia Volkova, who created a book from plasticine. The girl illustrated Aksakov's fairy tale "The Scarlet Flower".

“The idea to decorate the drawing with plasticine details,” Anastasia says, “first came to my mind when I was making a postcard for my husband. Sergey really liked original gift. Behind this postcard, a second appeared, then a third ... "

For modeling, Nastya spent whole days, and sometimes even nights. At first, it took about two weeks to make one plot measuring 30x60 cm. But over time, the fingers became more dexterous, and the speed of work increased: for one picture, the craftswoman needs only a couple of days.

Nastya draws a picture on a cardboard with a pencil. Then, despite the luxurious manicure, the girl boldly pinches off pieces of plasticine and smears them on cardboard, making the main background. Long nails they only help her - with them the craftswoman applies patterns to plasticine.

After that, he rolls out plasticine sausages, balls and scales, which turn into thickets of grass, sea waves or a beautiful castle. The artist is very meticulous about her work. One plot can be redone several times.

For all the illustrations, Anastasia took about a hundred boxes of plasticine. She learned how to create her own colors of plasticine. The girl connects multi-colored pieces, kneading them in her hands for a long time. It turns out a new shade.

Even the husband began to take an active part in the process, helping his beloved to mix colors. Spouse for Nastya is the main critic and adviser. As a token of gratitude for the support, the artist immortalized his image. Sergei became the prototype of the plasticine prince from the fairy tale. Well, the main character - the youngest daughter of the merchant, who wished to receive a scarlet flower - is Anastasia herself.

The rest of the heroes of the tale are also written off from real people that surround Nastya: the merchant looks like her father, the older sisters look like friends, and the physiognomy of the monster into which the handsome prince was turned is a copy of the flattened muzzle of the Persian Busi.

The last picture was made on the eve of the defense for several sleepless nights. The most difficult thing is to depict faces, emotions. For example, two sisters had to be shown angry. And they all came out cute. Then Anastasia, without regret, destroyed everything and reworked the composition.

“When the teachers saw my work, they were in a slight shock,” Anastasia recalls her triumph, “they looked at the pictures, passed them from hand to hand. Later they said that this was the most original work they saw. Rated "excellent". And one representative of the selection committee immediately invited me to work. Now I'm a designer at a printing company."

Hello everyone! Handmade Tuesday on the ShkolaLa blog! Get your golden hands ready. Today we will make a very interesting school craft for the week of Orthodox culture. Do these things happen at your school? We have periodicals) So they asked me to do something suitable.

And we decided to make a church. Long thought from what, but how? Thought and thought and thought. We will make a church out of a plastic bottle. The main thing is to choose the right bottle, so that its upper part looks like the dome of a church in shape. And we found one, from under the mineral water.

Well? Begin?

Let's cook necessary materials:

  • shoe box lid
  • plastic bottle;
  • rope;
  • wire;
  • braid and lace for decoration;
  • plasticine (we chose white and blue);
  • cardboard or baby foam (aka foamiran);
  • cotton wool;
  • PVA glue;
  • double sided tape;
  • white paint;
  • brush;
  • scissors.

First, let's prepare the base of our craft. Paint the shoebox lid white.

Set the box aside for the paint to dry. And we will prepare planks for the fence that will enclose our church. They can also be cut out of cardboard. We used colored foam for children's creativity (foamiran). Draw stripes and cut them out with scissors.

We sharpened the tips of the boards to give the fence more naturalism. "Plates" are ready.

Now glue them to our base.

And we turn to the design of the main object of our crafts.

Take a bottle and cut off the bottom of it. Approximately like this.

The top of the bottle also needs to be cut off. This is quite problematic, since the plastic at the neck of the bottle is quite hard and thick. We heated the knife over the gas and slowly cut it off.

It's time to take care of how our future church will be attached to the base. Using a marker, I marked a horizontal line on the bottom of the bottle, approximately 2 cm from the edge. And segments were drawn down from this line.

The bottle was cut with scissors along the marked lines and the resulting strips were bent. It looks like flower petals.

Let's take care of the dome of our church. We will supplement it to the desired shape with the help of plasticine.

How to make a cross? Very simple. We took a beautiful decorative blue wire, since our church will be all blue and white. But you can use the usual wire, just then wrap the cross with foil.

Well, we first bent the wire in half and bent its tails to the sides.

And then like this. Got a cross!

Now we stick a cross into the top of our poppy head.

We take double-sided tape and glue the walls of the church with it.

Gradually, starting from the bottom, subtract upper layer double-sided tape and start wrapping the walls with a rope.

And so to the very top of the wall, to the beginning of the dome.

We mark the doors and windows on the walls with the help of blue lace. We made a front door. A thin strip of lace was glued on the top, and a silver braid for beauty was glued on the bottom.

The windows were arranged as follows: two on the sides, one behind.

Let's start decorating the dome. We roll up balls from white and blue plasticine, turn them into cakes, and glue them to the dome in rows, starting from the bottom.

Each next circle finds a little on the previous one. Like every top row to the bottom. The higher we climb, the smaller the cakes become. This is how the dome turned out! Handsomely?

We can say that we built a church.

We will install it on our base.

Remember we cut the bottom of the bottle into petals? Now we glue double-sided tape on these petals from below.

We made the stripes that are on the back of the church a little shorter in order to set the building as close as possible to the base wall. Then we take away the top layer of adhesive tape and glue the building to the base. Holds very tight and won't fall off.

It remains to decorate the space surrounding the church. You can make it summer, glue grass, make trees with your own hands and “plant” them around. But we went the other way, faster and easier. Made winter. Everything around the church was “swept with snow”. They made snowdrifts from cotton wool. And "cleared" the path to the doors. Path from a piece of synthetic winterizer. All this was glued to the base with PVA glue.

So our white and blue church is ready)

Already went to the school exhibition.

Now, friends, you know what to do if a week of Orthodox culture has started at school. We hope our step by step master class will help you)

By the way, I think that our composition for Christmas with angels can also act as a craft on the theme of Orthodox culture. You will find a master class.

And VKontakte is waiting for you our school group! Become her subscriber! We promise a sea of ​​school positive and interesting information!

Enjoy your creativity!

Always yours, Evgenia Klimkovich.

Crafts from plastic bottles are very simple and easy to do with your own hands. In this article, we will tell you how you can make church models from ordinary plastic bottles.

It is worth noting that many bottles already have a domed shape, which makes it very easy to make models of churches.

As you can see in the photo, the tops of the bottles are used in this composition.

The pictures are printed on self-adhesive paper using a conventional inkjet printer and glued on top of the bottles, sprinkled with glue and glitter. In addition, beads and foil were used in the manufacture of crafts from plastic bottles.

Quite affordable materials for making DIY crafts, right?

And this craft from a plastic bottle is made using papier-mâché technology, this is when the paper is torn into small pieces, the bottle is coated with glue and pasted over with pieces of soft paper in several layers.

After that, homemade crafts can be painted with acrylics or gouache.

This plastic bottle mockup is even easier to make. Acrylic paints were used. You can buy “gold-like” paint at the artist’s store, but otherwise, all items for crafting are sold at the stationery store.

This installation uses window cutting in plastic bottles, the domes are made of polymer clay, we wrote about it in the article. You can take already a golden color, or you can paint it.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in making homemade crafts from bottles! This is a very simple activity and you can do it with your child.

More crafts from plastic bottles:

A helicopter from a plastic bottle - we make a model of a helicopter.
Water rocket - we make a rocket on water-air fuel.


I bring to your attention a series of works "Cacti", made in the technique of "plasticine painting".

For work you need: plexiglass (glass), black ink (for contour), squirrel brush No. 1, plasticine, stacks, sketch of a picture, napkin, jar of water.



Before work, the glass must be washed and degreased well. This can be done by anyone detergent or acetone.


1. We transfer the drawing to the glass with ink. The lines should be clear and thin.



2. We select the colors of plasticine necessary to complete the work. Do not forget to mix clay to get the desired shades. The richer the color palette, the more picturesque - the work.



3. Apply (smear) plasticine in a thin layer, without touching the contour. The glass must be held “on weight” with the left hand, and with the right hand “paint” your drawing. We use, where necessary, a stack and a napkin.



4. You need to start “painting” the work with small details.



5. After completing the small details, gradually fill the entire drawing with the desired color.



6. Do not forget that all colors are lighter on the illuminated part of the object, and darker in the shadow.



7. When the entire drawing is colored in, you can color in the background.



8. We place the work in a frame, and everything is ready!!!




Do you recognize? This is the Decembrist.



And this is the reverse side of our "drawing".



Sorry, I don't know the names...



He, too, is on the other side.



If there is no ink for the contour, you can draw with a marker, paint on glass, even tried gouache (you just need to add a little PVA glue) so that the paint does not roll off.

The picture was made from a set for children's creativity, but if there is a desire to master plasticine painting, I advise you to print your favorite picture for coloring on thick paper, buy a pack of plasticine and go! The work will cost 4-5 times cheaper than buying a set (in the box there was a template for a drawing and a pack of plasticine in 6 colors, which I didn’t even have enough, I had to buy another pack)...

And the technique for making the picture is very simple: mix the necessary colors, split off small piece, roll the ball in our hands and smear the ball on the cardboard on one side. The more varied in color the balls are within the same plane, the more picturesque the picture will look. Make distant forms simpler in color, i.e. using one or two shades, so the picture will appear more voluminous. Details of a complex configuration (ears, cheeks, eyes, etc.) can be made with a flattened spot, from which the excess is cut off with a stack. After the whole picture is filled, it is desirable to arrange it in a frame under glass. How to make a regular frame voluminous, I spied on MaryBond - http://bond-mary.blogspot.com/2009/11/blog-post_16.html

Plasticine with your own hands.

Instruction
Difficulty level: Easy
What you will need:
200 grams of flour
100 grams of salt
30g Alaun (chemical alum, can be found in the pharmacy)
2-3 tbsp. spoons of sunflower oil
200ml boiling water
Dyes (any)
1 step
And so let's start making plasticine:
To begin with, we need a container, for example a plate, a jar.
2 step
In a jar, mix flour and salt. Mix thoroughly so that after adding water it is easier to knead everything. Salt is used for strength, and flour for the base. Next, add Alaun, it is used here as a thickener. Alaun can be found in any pharmacy. It's kind of like gelatin. Alaun is not harmful and is used in medicine.
3 step
And so we have a dry mix. We pour our oil there, it is necessary so that our plasticine does not stick to our hands. Add and mix a little. Then pour hot boiled water 80-90 degrees.
4 step
After adding water, knead everything thoroughly to avoid lumps, you can use a mixer. When it will be difficult for the mixer to twist all this mass, then put it on the table. You can add color if you like.
If you want to make several colors, then divide the mass into several parts and add a different dye to each, just add a lot of dye. To make the plasticine bright.

Plasticine fairy tale

On the website of "Evening Orenburg" I found an interesting interview with a former sixth-year student of the Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering of OSU Anastasia Volkova, who created a book from plasticine. The girl illustrated Aksakov's fairy tale "The Scarlet Flower".

“The idea to decorate the drawing with plasticine details,” Anastasia says, “first came to my mind when I was making a postcard for my husband. Sergey really liked the original gift. A second one appeared behind this postcard, then a third…”

For modeling, Nastya spent whole days, and sometimes even nights. At first, it took about two weeks to make one plot measuring 30x60 cm. But over time, the fingers became more dexterous, and the speed of work increased: for one picture, the craftswoman needs only a couple of days.

Nastya draws a picture on a cardboard with a pencil. Then, despite the luxurious manicure, the girl boldly pinches off pieces of plasticine and smears them on cardboard, making the main background. Long nails only help her - with them the craftswoman applies patterns to plasticine.

The purpose of the lesson:

To acquaint children with the internal structure of the temple.

Tasks:

  1. Give an initial idea of ​​​​the internal structure of the temple (porch, nave, iconostasis, altar);
  2. Give an initial idea of ​​why people visit the temple;
  3. Cultivate a reverent attitude towards shrines;
  4. Develop imagination, memory, imaginative thinking;
  5. Develop fine motor skills through molding.

Didactic material:

Lesson plan.

Stage lesson Teacher activity Student activities Time
1. Org. moment Getting to know the students: introduction of the teacher. Children stand up, say their name, surname, sit down. 2 minutes.
2. Conversation Let's look out the window. What do we see? Children look out the window. Suggested answers: trees, earth, sky, houses, etc. 5 minutes.
What parts does the house consist of? Suggested answers: roof, walls, windows, doors.
Why do you think people need houses? Suggested answers: to protect from bad weather, to live in them.
What other buildings exist besides houses? Allegedanswers: shops, theaters, museums, etc.
The teacher draws the children's attention to a photograph of a single-domed church (see Appendix 2). and asks: What do you see? The children look at the photo. Allegedanswers: also a house, a church, a temple.
The teacher summarizes the children's answers. Such a building is called a temple. And as we can see, it differs from ordinary house appearance. What differences do you see? Allegedanswers: not such a roof, at the top there is a cross, a dome.
The teacher summarizes the children's answers. Such a roof is called a dome. Since ancient times, people have been building temples and crowning them with domes, so that it can be seen that this is not just a house, a building is an architectural monument, but also some kind of special place. People come to the temple in order to turn to God. Since this is a special place where God always dwells. Before the beginning of the lesson, we got to know each other, called our names. The temple also has a name, they call it - they dedicate it to some event or a holy person.
3. Considering the layout of the temple Now let's get to the first part. (There is a model of the temple on the table under the cover). The teacher takes off the veil and says: Now we will make an excursion to the temple. Children stand around the first desk. 10 min.
You see, I built a small temple, which is similar to the one in our photo. Here are the walls of the temple, the doors, the entrance to the temple, the dome with the cross, which is located on the roof. And now we will remove the roof and see how the temple is arranged. Children examine the model of the temple.
The teacher removes the roof. People also came to our temple to turn to God. Girl and boy. The teacher shows figurines of children made of plasticine and puts them in the first part of the temple - the vestibule.

When a person enters the temple, he first enters the first part of the temple - the narthex, where people who want to enter the temple enter - this is the threshold of the temple. Let's go further. The teacher moves the figures to the central part of the temple and says: This is the central part of the temple, or as they say in another way, the temple itself, there is another foreign name - the nave.

Children examine the interior of the temple.
What do our little men see, what surrounds them?

Correctly. There is another part in the temple, it is called the altar. This is a holy, sacred place, so our little men cannot enter there. Priests enter the altar to turn to God and celebrate the liturgy. Therefore, our little men will remain in the middle part.

Suggested answers: icons, candlesticks.
And we'll sit down The children take their seats.
4. Viewing a slide film The teacher turns off the lights, curtains the windows, turns on the slide projector. On screen projection first slide:"The Interior of the Temple". Children look at the screen. 8 min.
Just as in our little temple, we saw that it was not empty, so in ordinary temples we see that faces are looking at us from everywhere. Who are these people? Allegedanswers: children find it difficult to answer.
And whose portraits do we keep in our house? Allegedanswers: grandparents, family, friends.
The teacher summarizes the children's answers. That is, they are dear to us people. Maybe they are no longer with us, but we have not forgotten them. Surely we remember something good about them. Maybe we want to be like them.
So why do we need photos of loved ones? Allegedanswers: so that we communicate with them or remember any incident from their life.
In the same way, the temple keeps the faces of the saints so that we can remember them and communicate with them. On the screen second slide"Iconostasis". And this is a special wall in the temple. It separates the altar from the actual temple, so it is decorated in a special way.
What is she adorned with? Allegedanswers: gold, etc.
This whole wall is in icons. They are located in several rows. In some churches there are only three rows, in some there are five, and sometimes more.
Let's look at the bottom row, what do you see? Suggested answers: icons, doors.
This series is called local. Since it has an icon (second to the right of the gate) after which the temple is named. Also in this row are the Royal Doors. Through them, the priest enters the altar to turn to God - to read the most important prayer during the Liturgy. showing thirdslide"View of the Throne" Let's see what the priest sees inside the altar. We have a throne in front of us. This is the heart of the Christian church. During the Liturgy, the Lord himself stays here.
Let's see what's on the throne. Allegedanswers: cross, book, candlestick, small temple.
The teacher clarifies they are sacred things. Cross, gospel, menorah, tabernacle. fourth slide. "Festive Divine Liturgy in the Temple". Here we are again in the middle part of the temple, we see that the temple is full of people. They came to seek God.
5. Practical work The teacher turns on the light. Here is our tour completed. But there are only two people in our church. Let's make more people out of plasticine so that our temple is filled with people. Look, on your tables there is plasticine, a stack, cardboard, a rag - everything for modeling. Allegedanswers; the children agree. 8 min.
Let's cut off a small piece of any color with a stack to blind the torso. Children cut a piece of plasticine.
Roll up a thick sausage. Children roll sausage.
Teacher's explanation: In order to mold the body of a girl, our sausage must be made thinner on one side, and flattened on the other side to make a dress. In order to mold the boy's body, we leave the sausage flat, cutting it into two parts from the bottom to the middle. Got panties. Children choose who they sculpt and do the work.
Now we blind our hands. Cut off a smaller piece and roll a thin sausage. Then we cut it in half and attach the handles to the upper body using the lubrication method. Take white (yellow, pink) plasticine and cut off a small piece. We roll the ball. Attach the head to the body using the lubrication method. Girls should wear headscarves, and for boys, blind hair. Children perform.
Take a small piece of plasticine of the desired color and flatten it on the board into a thin cake. Using the method of overlay and lubrication, we will fix the resulting parts on the head of the figure. Children perform
And now everyone will try to sculpt the face of their figures and decorate clothes on their own. Here our men are ready. Children work independently.
Consolidation of learned

material

Now let's fill the temple with them. Everyone will come up and put his little man in the temple. (The teacher must find out from the child in which part of the temple he wants to put the little man, clarifies / corrects the children's answers.) 5 minutes.
7. End of class Our lesson has come to an end. Today we got acquainted with the structure of the temple, now you can tell your friends about it.

friends and parents. The teacher thanks the children for their attention and says goodbye to them.

Children say goodbye to the teacher and leave the classroom. 2 minutes.
