DIY crafts for a friend

If you want to give your girlfriend some jewelry or a scarf with flowers, but you think it’s not very interesting, then take it and make it yourself! Such a gift will be individual and will definitely not leave your friend indifferent. And you can put a piece of your soul into it, and at the same time show your imagination and love for your friend. In this master class prepared by Anna Moiseeva, we will crochet an easy necklace!

In order to knit such a necklace we will need:

• blue, light blue, white thread;
• hook 1.75 mm;
• scissors;
• needle;
• chain.

For knitting such a product, it is better to take fine yarn. The thinner the better. Our necklace will consist of 7 circles. 1 of them will be the largest and will be located in the center. The remaining 6 are 2 sets of 3. The sets will be the same.

Let's start knitting from the central one, that is, from the largest circle. We knit 12 sc in a slip stitch with blue yarn. We close the circle with a joint and tighten the ring.

We knit 1 row with blue yarn, adding every 2 stitches in the row. Closing the row, change the thread to white. We perform a row, adding every 3 loops of the row.

And we just have to knit the last row. In it we make additions every 5 loops of the row. The central circle is ready.

The next circle will consist of only 4 rows. First, we form a slip loop with blue yarn and work 12 sc into it. We will consider this to be the first row.

Then we change the thread again, but now to white. Add through 2 loops. Once again we change the thread to blue and knit a row, making increases every 3 loops of the row.

We knit 1 more exactly the same circle. We just have to connect the last 2 circles. These are the smallest parts of the necklace.

Again we knit 12 sc in a slip stitch with blue thread. Then we change it to blue. We perform a row with an increase through the loop.

We knit the same circle again. Now we just have to assemble the necklace. To do this, you first need to unfold it in order to understand how to sew the parts together.

Then we sew 2 smaller circles to the central large circle. Sew on different sides.

And then we sew others onto these parts. And at the end we sew on the smallest circles.

The last step will be the chain. We attach it to the loops of the circles. The crochet necklace is ready!

DIY postcards for March 8

As for the postcard, which does not require too much effort to make, you must use cardboard for its base, and the design can be done as appliqué, decoupage, scrapbooking or origami. It doesn’t matter what style such a card will be in, the main thing is that it should evoke tender feelings, be spring-like, bright, preferably with some flowers and contain nice words congratulations. Usually there are no difficulties with materials for such a gift.

A fluttering and weightless butterfly landed on a card intended to congratulate loved ones on their birthday. wonderful holiday– International Women's Day. This gift is quite possible for a child to make if he is already a schoolboy. Mom will be happy to receive this elegant product, and the child’s efforts will be appreciated. Since the card was made for congratulations on March 8, you can get a little creative and make the central figure not quite ordinary.

Let the butterfly’s wings remain chic and spreading, bright and eye-catching. But let the body itself be made in the form of the number 8. This is the main highlight of the proposed present. Not everyone will dare to play with a simple insect figurine like this, but the result will be truly beautiful.

To create the same bright and unusual postcard prepare:

• thick cardboard base;
• plasticine for creating a background, design, inscription and additional decoration;
• a toothpick that will allow you to draw on plasticine and also attach small balls.

Making a greeting card with your own hands

Take everything you need for work. A big plus is the brightness of the plasticine; the brighter and more attractive the color of the material itself, the more expressive the postcard will be. Selecting shades of plasticine is already half the success.

To begin, very carefully apply juicy green plasticine to the surface of the cardboard. Try to make the layer very thin and smooth the pieces in different directions. It doesn’t matter that the light surface of the cardboard will show through. This way we will create an unusual, slightly aged effect. In general, the craft will look harmonious.

Make a thin purple sausage. It should be long enough to form a number 8. Glue the ends together to make a ring, then cross over to create the desired piece. Make wings from bright orange plasticine. Knead the pieces of plasticine in your hands, then press them on both sides with your fingers, while simultaneously giving the wings a suitable carved shape.

Start assembling a beautiful insect. Of course, we only use the silhouette to decorate our wonderful card. Stick a figure eight in the center. Adhere to it on both sides of a pair of wings. Now we see a butterfly in front of us.

Roll out oblong white droplets from white plasticine. Make pairs of droplets of different sizes. These parts are intended to decorate the wings. Stick a few on each side.

Also, use a toothpick to glue red balls along the edge of the wings. Above the image of the insect, write “Happy Holidays!” In this case, there is no need to indicate March 8, because the number eight already appears on the postcard, so it is immediately clear what holiday the craft is dedicated to. Stick patterns on the corners to make appearance finished.

A beautiful gift does not have to be expensive. The main thing is to do it from pure heart and don’t spare your imagination. Pack the gift beautifully, tie a bow, and now present it with in beautiful words to your loved one.

Greeting card with roses made of plasticine

On postcards dedicated to the International women's day, it is customary to depict flowers. This is the most desired and most beautiful gift for the fairer sex. And even if you don’t know what to give, flowers will always help out, it’s a win-win option.

But in this lesson, prepared by Elena Nikolaeva, we will not talk about how to choose a beautiful gift, but how to make it with your own hands. We offer unusual volumetric version– a postcard decorated with a bouquet of plasticine. The central buds are roses, the additional branches are blue cornflowers. The card looks gentle and rich at the same time.

Materials for the postcard:

• thick cardboard;
• multi-colored plasticine: red, yellow, green, blue and white;
• thin toothpick.

How to make a beautiful greeting card with your own hands

There is a canvas in front of you. It doesn't matter what color it is. More attention pay attention to its density and size. Choose the size for your craft, as well as the background color that will perfectly match the buds in the bouquet.

Fill the background completely with bright plasticine. Since you need to independently apply bright plasticine in a thin layer to the surface, the color of the cardboard is not initially important.

A beautiful bouquet can be made rich and beautifully complemented with simple wildflowers, such as cornflowers. Florists often do this. For small graceful branches, prepare thin green threads and green leaves, small blue beads.

First glue thin green twigs with leaves under one side of the card.

Then press down each leaf with a thin needle to make the surface more realistic and textured.

Collect small flowers Vasilkov. To do this, combine 4 blue balls together, press with your fingertips to get petals. Insert a white ball into the center. Attach the resulting flowers to ready-made branches.

Make 10-20 blue wildflowers. Stick in different places. Press down the white bead in the center with a toothpick on top, and also press down each blue petal.

Now move on to the rose leaves. They should be much larger. Make green flat droplets. Draw veins on top with a thin tool.

Assemble several combinations of thin green threads and the resulting carved drop-shaped leaves.

Glue green leaves randomly over the field branches.

For beautiful roses, prepare red plasticine. Cut small pieces from the block.

Press and smooth each piece so that you get a flat, oblong petal.

Start twisting the petals into spirals to form beautiful red buds.

Form 3 buds. This will be enough to fill the picture.

Attach all the rose heads to the bouquet. Now you have a wonderful flower arrangement.

To make the inscription “Congratulations!”, stick a pink stripe somewhere on the side. Make an engraving with the sharp end of a toothpick.

If desired, fill the empty space with small multi-colored plasticine balls to create a rainbow-colored picture overall.

Beautiful greeting card ready with a bouquet of plasticine flowers.

Handmade gifts for any occasion are highly valued and arouse interest and tenderness towards them. Of course, you can’t say for sure that any woman will be happy with some small gift that you make with your own hands. After all, many expect chic and elegant gifts from their other halves.

DIY gifts for March 8th: the best ideas

You can’t even imagine what you can do for this wonderful day!

How to make a paper bag for March 8?

You can easily make a paper gift bag using the elegant models that we offer this collection.

It's simple: choose a ready-made template for the handbag you like, print it on paper (as thick as possible). Now all you have to do is cut out the resulting stamp and glue it strictly according to the instructions. The handbag is ready.

By the way, it is not necessary to choose a template with a ready-made design. There are also clean layouts; your child can design them.

As a result, we get original and practical items for gifts.

More interesting option paper handbag is this model:

Of course, you won’t go to the store with these, but it’s just right for giving a gift on International Women’s Day.

Wonderful tulip pencil holder

This gift is also easy to make with your own hands. you will need the following materials:

• thick cardboard;
• colored paper;
• scissors;
• glue.

At the first stage, we draw a template for our future pencil and cut out the details from it.

Next, bend the template along the dotted lines.

Now you need to connect the sides with high-quality glue.

At the final stage we glue the bottom. This pencil holder can be given as a gift to teachers and kindergarten teachers.

Bookmark for a book - a simple and necessary gift

Also obtained from paper material. I will offer two options that are easiest to make. So, we need thick cardboard, preferably colored, bright wrapping paper, scissors, glue and everything else you want to decorate your craft with.

First option. We cut out a 10x10 centimeter square from our cardboard. Fold it diagonally 2 times. After this, cut the finished figure into 2 parts, as shown in the picture.

The resulting corner needs to be glued and decorated with sparkles, rhinestones, beads, ribbons or some kind of applique.

Manufacturing second option Even elementary school students can make bookmarks. First, a 10 cm strip with a width of 6 cm is cut out of cardboard. It is folded as shown in the pictures.

The ends of the resulting “envelope” are either left as they are, or cut out in a semicircle or in the shape of a heart. We connect the two halves using applique.

I think girls will like this bookmark.

Elastic band-kanzashi

They can diversify and decorate the everyday hairstyle of those with beautiful long hair. But you don’t have to buy hair ties in the store; you can make a unique thing yourself. It will be much more interesting. The beauty you see in the photo is made from scrap materials.

To sew an elastic flower we need:

• cardboard;
• textile;
• scissors;
• threads;
• rubber;
• beads;
• needle.

So let's get started. First, we make 3 types of cardboard circles with diameters of 5, 6.5 and 8 cm.

We apply the templates obtained in this way onto the selected fabric base, outline it with chalk and cut out the details - 5 circles of each type.

1) Now take one circle and fold it in half (see picture).

2) Repeat the procedure one more time, folding the previously obtained semicircle in half.

3) Now we have in our hands a part that resembles a petal. We need to stitch it from the bottom with the needle forward.

4) By analogy, we make petals from the remaining 4 circles of this type and collect them on our thread. Having finished, we tighten the thread and we get such a cute flower.

5) In a similar way, we make flowers from all the circles.

6) We connect the resulting 3 flowers together.

7) A regular one is sewn onto the large lower flower.

8) Decorate the small top flower in the middle with a bead contrasting color or a pebble.

A great gift for mom - a photo frame

Despite digital technologies, conventional photography is still popular. Agree, it’s nice to look at pictures on photo paper. And if they are, then it becomes double pleasure. Perhaps this is why a gift for March 8 in the form of a hand-made photo frame, which literally anyone can make, is relevant these days. The technology consists of two steps. It is also universal in terms of giving: it can even be used as a children's gift.

First you need to prepare a paper base - it should be dense, so it is better to prefer cardboard. You determine the size yourself, as well as the shape - the future frame and holes for pictures. The latter can be made completely different: a rectangle or a square, a rhombus or a circle, in general, any other shape.

Are you ready? Now use your imagination to design the base. The base of the photo frame can be wrapped with ribbon or colored fabric strips, or decorated with beads, buttons, shells or pebbles. By the way, any of these decorations can be painted over with gouache or watercolors, choosing an interesting color scheme.

When making a photo frame, do not forget to immediately decide on the issue of mounting - will it hang on the wall or stand on the table?

Double surprise - double the joy

A woman will be doubly pleased to receive a sweet gift if it is presented in an original frame. Even ordinary candies. For example, in such an amazing heart-shaped frame that resembles a pink bouquet.

To make it you need to stock up on the following materials:

• white hard cardboard;
• double-sided red or burgundy origami paper in A-4 format;
• candies that are to be framed;
• a regular toothpick;
• glue stick;
• narrow transparent tape;
• ruler and compass.

In the first stage, we prepare the base: carefully cut out a heart from cardboard - 20 cm in diameter is enough. On its reverse side we draw two straight lines - one divides the heart in half, the second is its height. We mark the intersection of lines with a dot. We take a compass and draw a circle 5 centimeters in diameter (marked with a dotted line in the figure). Stepping 1 cm down from the center, draw an arc - a diameter of 4 cm. The result is a figure like an oval.

Using this sketch, we also cut out the inner oval circle.

The next stage of work is preparing roses using the quilling method. We cut 30-centimeter strips of paper, half a centimeter wide, and screw them tightly onto a toothpick. It is necessary to produce 40 pieces.

We slightly loosen the resulting spirals so that they “move apart”, and glue the free end to the parallel side.

From the resulting blanks, we select 28 pieces and make “petals” out of them, squeezing closed spirals on one side. Then, from the remaining ones, we select 3 pieces and prepare “eyes” - the spiral is squeezed on both sides. In addition, you will need 6 more “closed” spirals.

We put these details on our heart - decide for yourself how. Try it different variants, and only after deciding, glue the roses to the cardboard.

Fur keychain is a cute and pleasant thing

To make a fur keychain, we need a small piece of fur, it’s great if it’s an arctic fox, a piece of leather or leatherette from old bag or gloves. You will also need fishing line, which is used when weaving beads, or strong threads, and a standard key ring. Tools include scissors and a needle.

1. A piece of fur is folded with the fur inward, and the edges are stitched. Just leave a hole to turn the workpiece inside out.
2. We use an identical method to make a leather strap. If you want to make a thinner strap, you can immediately sew the workpiece on the right side, bending its edges.
3. We pass the strap through the ring.
4. We need one more leather piece. Cut out a rectangle
5. We also sew it by folding the right side inward. We fix the strap in it.
6. The base of our bag needs to be folded inward with the edges.

Traditional shades of this spring holiday– red, green, pink, yellow. The main symbols and themes are flowers, sun, spring and the number eight.
