Work on such pictures is very similar to the usual application of paper or cereals, only in this case the result is more lively and interesting. To better understand the technique of this creativity, we have prepared for your attention a few simple master classes for thread applications.

How to make an applique out of thread?

Application "sun"

For acquaintance it is best to start with the simplest - appliqués from cut woolen threads.

Materials:

Let's get to work.

  1. Choose a picture - from a book or the Internet, and if you know how, draw yourself. For those children who first start to take on this kind of work, it is best to choose something monotonous, for example, the sun.
  2. Now we transfer our story to color cardboard. Immediately give you advice, when drawing a picture on the cardboard-base, do not use a carbon paper - there will be too much "dirt" about which you can later mess the threads.
  3. When the picture is ready, the fun begins. From the coil of the right color, you need to cut the thread and attach it to the picture, greased with glue. After that, squeeze your finger well. The length of the cut thread will depend on the fragment on which you want to see this thread. If you make a nose, then cut a very small piece, the tail - then, the thread must be more authentic, well, and so on. Thus, gluing a thread behind a thread, you need to fill the whole picture.

Work with the contour

Another interesting activity for your child may be work on the circuit. This will help to make brighter and more interesting any ordinary pencil drawing, in our case it's tulips. At first glance, what can be difficult? But, it turns out that not all babies can smoothly and accurately impose a line. And this work, precisely, is aimed at developing such skills in the child.

Applique from twisted threads

This type of work differs from the previous ones in that here the thread, as if replacing the marker - it does not need to be cut, one of which is necessary to lay out one piece entirely. And so with each color. As an example, we give you a very bright and funny ladybird sitting on a flower, made in the technique of twisted threads.

Application "snail"

If the child is already confidently laying out simple pictures, then it's time to move on to work on complex masterpieces. For example, try to make a twisted thread "snail". The whole secret of this work is that before you paste the thread on the cardboard, it must be wound on a pencil. After that, very carefully remove the wound bars and paste them on the picture. To make the snail brighter, the threads for each circle of the shell can be taken different. Dream with the child and think of the situation in which there is a snail: walks in a meadow, or sits on a flower and basks under the warm rays of the sun.

"Flower" applications

Combining together the techniques described above, you can do a lot of original works. It is very good to turn around, making threads of flowers. To help wake up your inspiration, we give, as an illustrative example, a couple of works with the colors depicted.

As you have already understood, working with a thread helps to develop finger motility, imagination and coordinates the movements of your child. And besides this is a very fascinating and interesting activity that will supplement the collection of works of your little genius.
