Types of application. Decorative applique: master-class

In Latin, the word "applique" means "applying". To make a picture in this technique, you need to cut out different shapes from one material and attach them to the background, which is the background. For work, you can use paper, cloth, groats and many other tools at hand. We will understand in more detail, what kinds of applications are and what are the features of their creation.

Bonding flowers in this way is called floristry. To make a beautiful bud, just collect a few dried leaves, fruits, straw, poplar fluff. Also useful are different types of shells, cones, seeds, seeds, grass and not only. Whatever material you choose, you will need to take into account the peculiarities of its texture during work. He must hold on to the foundation well and harmonize with the composition of the work.

Standard classification

There are many types of this handmade, among which there are three main types:

- decorative applique (created by the principle of combining various elements of decoration);

- Subject (the pictures made in this technique consist of independent images - birds, trees, butterflies, etc.);

- story (depicts a particular action or event - snowfall, family walk, the game of the dog with the ball).

This is the standard classification of this handicraft. In addition to the above items, there are many other types of such crafts. Non-traditional appliqués can be performed in the following techniques.

Ribbons and fabric

Tape . With the help of this method, it is really possible to create not one and not two identical figures, but any number of them. They can be connected to each other in a long garland or separated from each other. To make such a craft, you need a large sheet of paper. Fold it according to the accordion principle, draw a contour of the future part on the top layer and cut it, grabbing all levels of material.

Tissue . This applique belongs to varieties of embroidery. The process of working on it is to attach elements of a similar material to the fabric basis. Fixing parts is done by sewing or gluing. Knitted applications are performed on the same basic material. To create a similar craft, you must have some skills and skill. In particular, it is necessary to be able to carefully cut out the details (the fact is that it is more difficult to work with a fabric than with paper). Also it is necessary to take into account that the edges of the details can split and crumble, which complicates the creative process.

We use napkins

Napkin . This decorative applique can interest even the youngest children. Working with this material will not only bring a lot of pleasure, but also make its contribution to the development of the child. Figures do not need to be cut with scissors, so that the baby can not be injured.

Types of applications using such material perfectly develop fine motor skills and tactile perception (it is especially useful to use materials with different textures). And, naturally, your child will develop a fantasy and embody ideas into reality.

Looking for materials in the kitchen

From cereals . Many types of applications involve the use of non-standard materials. To such, for example, belong groats and pasta. Work on the handicraft is extremely useful for small child's motor skills. After all, while fingering small particles, he develops his fingers and learns to make pinch movements.

In addition, if the baby has already turned more than one year old, it is very important for him to see the visual result of his labors. Because children really like to collect pictures of cereals. The most versatile materials for this type of creativity are mango, rice and millet. They can be painted with gouache to make the details more vivid and attractive. Unusual compositions will also be given macaroni in the form of spirals, bows, shells.

We ask for help to nature

Decorative applique made from straw . Such handicrafts look very stylish: the sun's rays play in their lines, which are cast in gold. The fact is that the surface of this material is glossy and perfectly even, due to the longitudinal fibers of which it consists. These microscopic strips are able to reflect light to the maximum, if placed in the correct position relative to the sun.

Compose the shapes of your composition from parts that lie at different angles with respect to the light source. In this case, you can achieve that each element will beautifully shine and shimmer. In this technique, you can make whole pictures, as well as decorate bookmarks, various boxes and frames.

From the herbarium. Drought flowers, grass and leaves are a very popular material for making crafts. These parts are easily accessible for schoolchildren and small children. Schemes of applications are very simple to perform and do not require much work. But, before proceeding directly to the process of crafting, you need to take a walk and collect the necessary materials. This is not only an interesting and fascinating activity, it also instills in children love and respect for nature. In addition, such walks are very useful, because they pass in the fresh air.

We create from scraps

Another interesting form of creativity is a breakaway applique. It is created by the principle of laying a mosaic. As a basis, cardboard is best suited, and sheets of colored paper of different shades will be used for work. They need to be broken into many small pieces, from which the picture will be formed.

Attach the resulting "puzzles" can be glue or double-sided tape. The second option is ideal for small and creative preschoolers. Children can not even break off pieces of paper beforehand. Let the child apply the necessary part of the sheet to the scotch and press it with a dull part of the pencil. This way the entire surface of the future picture is filled and its color spectrum is formed.

Cut-off appliqués exist not only in their classic form described above. It evolved, so there was such a branch of it as the Hundigyrim. When working in this technique Koreans created a special paper - handi, it is made by hand. And when it comes time to use this material, its pieces are wetted and torn off the outlines from the sheet. Working with handi, you can create paintings that seem to be written in watercolor or oil.

Creating 3D

A volumetric applique with your own hands is the best option for making crafts with convex flowers. You not only can make a variety of buds, but also decorate them with anything - postcards, panels or interior elements. Therefore, every person, keen on paper handmade, should be able to make such applications.

The types of applications aimed at creating voluminous handicrafts are quite diverse according to the principle of work. The production of each flower has its own specific features and level of complexity.

We make chamomile: master class

To create a classic chamomile, you will take a maximum of half an hour. Start by drawing the outlines of future petals on white paper. They should have an elongated oval shape. Along the edges, leave a little space so that you can later bend each part. In this flower petals are placed in several tiers. To work also need green paper on the background and a little yellow - on the core.

First cut 16 large petals, and then 12 slightly smaller. Stick them with bases on the background to form a circle. Lay the lower tier with larger ovals, and the upper one with those that are smaller. The finishing touch is the gluing along the center of the circle, which will serve as the core.

You can try a more interesting option by tearing the yellow leaf into small pieces. Lubricate the middle of the flower with glue and sprinkle this area with scraps. Make sure that they form a smooth circle. This way will help you make a furry heart for a flower.

Learning shapes

Another variant of creativity is the applique from the figures. Such work well develops the imagination and thinking of children. In addition, they begin to study and memorize forms that have different objects. These crafts can be very simple or more complex in structure and quantity of parts. But the basis is always the principle of using simple geometric figures.

For example, a house can be made from a square that goes to the wall, a triangle to the roof, and rectangles to the windows and door. To create a flower, a butterfly or a caterpillar, you will need circles. Any animal can be made up of ovals of different sizes. A simple and cute applique-postcard created in this technique can be a wonderful gift from a child for one of the parents or friends on any holiday.
