DIY gifts for little ones

Little girls, first of all, need congratulations on such bright dates - be sure to tell them about the history of the holiday, about its traditions, to add a touch of learning. The best way for little ones to remember what they heard is, of course, gifts!

Dolls

Since young princesses simply love to play with dolls, give them a toy - not just a simple one, but one made with your own hands! No little girl will refuse such gifts on March 8th - after all, no one else will have an exclusive soft friend like your daughter or younger sister.

For example, you can make a cute Waldorf doll, a toy from nylon tights, popular among Tilda needlewomen with your own hands. All of these toys are quite easy to make—all you need is to have basic sewing and cutting skills by hand.

Braided bracelets

Jewelry is one of the integral attributes of a woman’s image, and for little girls too. This does not mean that you should give your children jewelry - there is a danger of quickly losing expensive items.

Instead of expensive jewelry, try to consider gift ideas in the form of woven baubles with your own hands - they can be easily made from beads, beads, or simply woven from laces using the floss technique. Also, try making bracelets from rubber bands.

On March 8, you can make stylized bracelets - in soft pastel colors and with the number 8 - by the way, turned on its side, it symbolizes infinity, and this sign has recently been very fashionable to use in your wardrobe.

Magic costume

Another gift option for March 8th is a carnival fairy costume! The fact is that all girls love to watch cartoons in which fairies personify goodness, beauty and magic.

That is why every little girl wants to become like her favorite characters for at least one day - March 8th. What is a fairy without wings?

  • Take 2 long pieces of thick, flexible wire for the upper wings and 2 for the lower ones. Bend the pieces in half, giving them the shape of wings.

  • Cover each wing separately with fabric. Alternatively, take transparent nylon stockings and simply pull them over the frame. Connect the parts with wire. Some needleworkers do not fasten, but sew the parts together.

  • Use paint, glitter, buttons, beads and feathers to complete your DIY gift.

Don't forget about the magic wand!

Gifts for loved ones

We've sorted out the kids, but what gift ideas can be used for March 8th for adults?

Knitting

Since March 8 is celebrated at the very beginning of spring, the return of frost is still quite possible! Therefore, taking care of the health of your loved ones will be the best gift this time.

Hand-main is gaining momentum, there are a lot of manufacturing manuals on the Internet, and if you have a natural talent for creativity, then there will be no problems with either the idea or its implementation.

If you don’t have enough ideas of your own, I’ll give you various options - from easy to more advanced:

  • Write a poem yourself or with the help of a hired poet (for money), make a beautiful postcard with your own hands and write in your poems

  • Bake a cake, decorate it with flowers and a figure eight, brew some fragrant tea and serve on a beautiful tray. If the cake is too complicated, make cupcakes or cookies. It's much simpler, but no worse in taste and appearance

  • Paint the mug with paints or decorate it using decoupage technique
  • Tie coasters for mugs so they don’t stain the table
  • Weave flowers or trees from beads

  • Sew a pillow in the shape of a heart or a regular square shape. Decorate with ribbons and flowers
  • Take on all the household chores on this day - prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner, set the table, wash the dishes, take a walk with the children, put them to bed. On this day, do everything that is usually within the scope of your wife’s activities. She will be very grateful to you

  • Many girls and even older girls love beautiful notebooks, and if you use scrapbooking when decorating, the gift is guaranteed the highest score
  • Make soap. It is not difficult. Soap molds can also be found at home. As a last resort, buy silicone baking molds and use them. Play with color, cover with glitter for manicure

Remember that in addition to the gift, its presentation is important. The beautiful and unusual design will intrigue and delight.

Corporate gifts for March 8 colleagues from newspaper sticks

There are newspapers in every home. With the help of simple manipulations, you can prepare an economical gift option for your colleagues - an organizer for writing instruments.

Prepare:

  • Newspapers
  • PVA glue
  • Corrugated cardboard
  • Unfold the newspaper and fold it lengthwise, cut it
  • Fold the half lengthwise again and cut with a knife.

  • Take a wooden skewer and, starting from the corner, wrap the newspaper onto the skewer. At the very end, glue the corner so that the tube does not unfold
  • Let us thus prepare the required number of tubes
  • After the glue has dried, take out the skewer and roll the tube into a snail shape.

  • We take the next one and apply glue inside, and then push the end of the snail into the cavity of the tube and wrap it further, forming an organizer part
  • As you wind it, lubricate the sides with glue. You should get two parts with a diameter of 12 cm and one 9 cm

  • We grease them with PVA glue, and until they dry, we form them, bending them in the right direction

  • We cut out parts with sides of 6 and 25 cm from corrugated cardboard, wet the surface with a brush and water and separate the upper part

  • We paint the part (9 cm) and corrugated cardboard with brown acrylic paint
  • We paint the details in the desired color scheme

  • We cover the edges of the finished parts with tape
  • We secure the short corrugated cardboard ribs with self-adhesive film

  • We assemble the structure - we attach the part to one part with glue, then on the other side, we fix the bottom with glue
  • We apply glue to all surfaces, including internal ones. We send it to dry.

How to make paper flowers for mom and grandma in the senior group of kindergarten

In kindergartens, preparations are underway for Mother's Day - children learn poems and songs, prepare dances and skits. And, of course, they don’t forget about gifts for their mothers and grandmothers.

Let's prepare for work:

  • Scissors
  • Toothpick
  • Green paper
  • Yellow and white crepe paper
  • Ruler
  • Narrow tape
  • Yellow threads

Let's make daisies. The process is not complicated and entertaining.

  • Cut a sheet of green paper in half lengthwise, and then cut one piece in half again. We twist the stem onto the corner of a toothpick for the future chamomile. After twisting the stem, take out the toothpick and glue the thicker end of the stem with tape so that it does not fall apart

  • Roll white paper into a roll, measure 10 cm and cut with scissors
    You should get pieces made of white with sides 25 cm by 10 cm and yellow 4 cm by 20 cm

  • Fold the yellow sheet in half and cut it, then fold it again and cut both edges in 5mm increments

  • Fold the white paper in half and cut it. Now we put a yellow strip in the middle and fold it from one edge, then turn it over to the other side and fold it like an accordion. And so, step by step, we make an accordion out of paper

  • We tie the middle with a thread and cut off the edges roundly.

  • Attach the stem with tape

  • We straighten the petals and get a fluffy beautiful chamomile. Make several pieces and arrange them in a bouquet. And if you also make a vase, then the delight will be several times greater.

How to make felt flowers for your sister

Fresh flowers are good, but they don’t last long. But a felt bouquet will delight you for many years. Just blow away the dust.

Let's prepare:

  • Green and pink felt
  • Basket
  • Template for flowers
  • Floral wire
  • Scissors
  • Twine
  • Pencils
  • Pliers
  • Kraft paper
  • Plastic mat

Don't worry about looking at the amount of materials needed. Some can be replaced (if you don't have them), some can be simplified along the way. And in general, never be afraid to try something new. You never know what you can do till you try.

  • Cut out templates from paper. You can easily draw them yourself in the size you need, and then cut them along the contour

  • Using a large template, mark out the details on pink felt and cut them out.

  • Cut a strip of lighter shade of felt measuring 1 by 5 cm and make cuts on it at a distance of 3-4 mm

  • Apply glue to the middle and connect the two parts. A small detail will serve as a bud for a flower. Roll it into a bud and apply glue to secure it

  • We trace the second part on green felt and cut it out. This is a sepal for a rose

  • We cut the wire to the required size, string a sepal on it and secure it with glue, and strengthen the rosette on top
  • Thus, we will prepare the required number of roses. If you are tired, you can end here. Just combine the flowers into a bouquet, tie it with a ribbon and the gift is ready.

  • If you want to continue, then we’ll make a vase. You can buy a basket in stores. Cut a circle from a plastic mat the size of the bottom of a basket. You can also use thick cardboard or other suitable materials.

  • We put moss inside, stick roses into it, and shorten the stem to the desired size. Instead of moss, you can cut out polystyrene foam or a thick piece of foam rubber

  • Wrap it in craft paper and tie it to a bow with twine. Paper can be replaced with wrapping paper.

We create a beautiful bouquet of tulips from fabric for March 8th for a teacher

The flowers turn out to be very beautiful, almost real, and are wonderfully suitable for a women’s holiday.

Let's prepare:

  • Cotton fabrics of different colors for patchwork
  • Green cloth
  • Cocktail straws
  • Threads
  • Lighter
  • Needle
  • Soft filler (holofiber, cotton wool, etc.)
  • Scissors
  • Paper and pencil
  • Ruler
  • Double-sided tape

Manufacturing:

  • We cut out three blanks from paper with dimensions of 3 * 21 cm, 7 * 12 cm and 7 * 14 cm

  • We fold the 7*14 piece in half lengthwise and draw a leaf on it and cut it out. We will cut the leaves using this template

  • We mark the details on the fabric according to the templates. For one tulip you will need one 3*21 piece for the stem, 7*12 for the flower and 2 pieces for the leaves.
  • If you are going to create a bouquet, then prepare all the details at once, carry out the work in stages

  • For the stem, seal one edge using a lighter flame to make the seam look neat

  • Place double-sided tape on the opposite edge

  • Wrap the tube in fabric. We pin the remaining edges with needles and hem the seam with a needle so that it is not visible

  • Let's take care of the leaves. We turn the bottom edge of the part and sew it, then we put the parts together right sides and sew along the edges, turn them inside out, and iron them. It is better to perform this operation on a sewing machine, but if you don’t have one, then manually

  • Fold the edge of the fabric for the flower half a centimeter to the wrong side and smooth it with an iron

  • We fold the fabric with the right side inward and sew the edge and turn it inside out. The result is a cylinder

  • We go along the edge with a needle and collect the fabric, insert the stem inside and tighten the thread. We try to match the seams on the stem and bud and tie the stem and flower together with a thread

  • Fill the bud with filler and tie it crosswise with thread. First from one edge to the other, then opposite. Press the corners with your fingers to give shape.

  • We apply the leaf to the stem so as to close the seam and hem it with invisible stitches

  • We prepare the rest of the flowers in the same way and decorate the bouquet with a ribbon or place it in a vase.

We make a box decorated with famiaran flowers for a gift to a friend

Does your friend like candy? Well, who doesn’t like it, you tell me. What if you present it not in a banal box, but in a box you made with your own hands and decorated with beautiful flowers made of fomiaran? I hope she likes it.

You will need:

  • Fomiyaran
  • Skewer
  • Pastel

We produce:

  • On the sheet we measure intervals of 2.5 cm on all sides. Using a wooden skewer, draw all the squares along a ruler.

  • Take a pastel of a contrasting color and sketch half of the square, then cut it out

  • We round two corners of squares - we get petals

  • Curl the petals with a curling iron

  • We leave two petals for the bud. We coat it with glue and twist the first petal into the bud, then put it into the other petal and twist it again. Don't forget to lubricate before twisting

  • Now we glue the petals in a circle one by one and form a rose. We make several pieces

  • For the box we take thick cardboard and colored cardboard. We cut out the bottom, glue the cardboard in a circle - we get the bottom part of the box. For the lid, we trace the top part, cut it out and also paste it in a circle - we get a lid for the box

  • Cover the bottom and top of the lid with green cardboard

  • We glue a polystyrene foam hemisphere onto the lid, paint it with paint to match the box and stick on the roses. Now we fill it with delicious candies, cover it with a lid, tie it with a ribbon and the gift is ready.
