Applique for Easter

Easter in 2013 falls on May 5. Mums and grandmothers will bake cakes, paint eggs, bake cottage cheese, and what should the kids do to make them feel involved in the preparation for this bright day? You can invite children to make Easter applications, because it's simple and very exciting. Eggs and chickens are symbols of Easter, and we suggest combining them in one piece of paper.

To make an applique for Easter we will need:

  1. We translate details of patterns on a sheet of tracing paper.
  2. From the yellow cardboard we cut out the body of the chicken, the red velvet paper will be a scallop, the orange cardboard with the paws, and the black velvet paper will be used for the peephole. We paste the details on the body, and the last attach the beak, bending it in the center, onto a double-sided adhesive tape.
  3. Cut two ribbons 12 centimeters long each. On the paws make holes, stretch the braid and knot on the heel. The other ends of the braid are attached with adhesive tape from the back of the calf.
  4. Let's make for a chicken a beautiful roost from corrugated cardboard in the size 17x17x3 centimeters, having decorated it with strips of a wrapping paper, imitating a hay.

Such an application on the theme of Easter will decorate you with a festive table. In addition, this application in the form of an Easter egg-chicken will be a wonderful gift for the grandmother, teacher or teacher.

Here are some more original and simple applications that you can do with the child:

Experiment, fantasize and have fun with creativity! Just do not forget that the master master is a child, so entrust him with the choice of materials, drawing details, working with glue and other steps that do not threaten his health.
