• stapler
• glue gun and glue sticks for it
• felt-tip pens or markers
• gouache or acrylic paints

Let's start with something simple: let's do “decoupage” of a plastic (or paper) plate . Glue the top layer of a three- (or two-) layer napkin onto the plate using PVA glue and a brush. When the napkin is completely dry, coat it with acrylic varnish. The New Year's plate is ready!

If you don't have a dark green paper plate, a white one can be easily painted with gouache or acrylic paint. Let it dry well and cut it into three isosceles triangles. Glue the resulting parts in the shape of a Christmas tree. You can make a hole at the top and tie twine in the form of a loop. Such Christmas trees decorate curtains or wall. Don’t forget that it’s customary to decorate any Christmas tree. In our case, small beads, sequins or buttons are suitable.

We use the same technique - cut the plates into triangles. Now from the resulting triangles we will make checkboxes. If you take colored plates, the garland of flags will be more elegant.

It is not necessary to paint the back of the plate if you do not intend to hang the flags so that they will be visible from both sides.

It's not at all difficult to cut out of white paper or plastic plates. Christmas angels . See for yourself: a few cuts with scissors and the silhouette of an angel is already emerging.

Of course, plates make wonderful snowmen. It doesn't take much effort either.

The plates are easy to fasten with a regular stapler or glue with hot glue. Several of these snowmen hung around the apartment will decorate your home and create

A New Year's clock ? What, if not plastic or paper plates, can they be made from? Don't know where to get numbers for the dial? You can take it from children's sets of letters and numbers. Usually these are alphabets with numbers. To make your “clock” also show minutes, take two plates of different sizes and glue them together. On the outer plate, beautifully write the minutes with a felt-tip pen, and on the inner plate, stick the numbers to indicate the hours.

If you can’t find the numbers anywhere, you’ll just have to draw them on the plate. Make the arrows and pendulum from cardboard.

Easter composition from disposable cups

The composition consists of an Easter bunny and a basket.

The hare was made as follows: first, Sonya painted a transparent cup in White color. While it was drying, she cut out the ears I had drawn on cardboard, and then cut out the inside of the ears from pink paper and glued the cut out parts together. Dad cut holes in the bottom of the cup and inserted ears. Finally, I drew the face with felt-tip pens.

My husband and I made the basket. He cut the glass into strips, leaving the bottom untouched. I folded the strips in a circle. The handle was glued using a gun. Then I cut several thin strips of colored paper to make “hay-straw”, which I placed in a basket, with toy eggs on top.

Animals from the fairy tale “Kolobok”

I thought for a long time what we should do to make it simple but interesting. And I decided to make simple animals, but not separately, but for a fairy tale. Namely for. That’s why the craft is called “Animals from the fairy tale “Kolobok”.

We only had clear plastic cups at home, so that’s what we used. I prepared in advance (drew and cut out) the necessary parts from colored paper (ears, eyes, noses and whiskers) and put them all together in a bowl. When the eldest son came home from kindergarten, a kolobok (ready-made kinder ball) rolled up to him and asked him to help him make animals from a fairy tale.

We remembered who was there: a hare, a wolf, a bear and a fox. First, the bun asked his son to sort the parts and determine what belonged to whom. Then we glued the parts to the cups with a glue stick and drew pupils and mouths with a felt-tip pen. The younger one watched all this time and tried to tear off what we had already glued)) And then my son and I role-played the fairy tale. My son really liked it. In the evening, he himself showed the fairy tale to dad again while I was putting the youngest one to bed.

Materials used: 4 plastic cups, colored paper, scissors, glue stick, black felt-tip pen.

Cheburilka - sister of Cheburashka

Today we have a new friend, Cheburashka's sister - the girl Cheburilka. Since I didn’t have a disposable paper cup, and it would have been more convenient with one, I filled the existing plastic disposable cup with crumpled paper for density and sealed the bottom with tape.

I made the body out of brown cardboard and glued a circle of cardboard on top. I cut out large ears from cardboard of a similar color and glued them on with glue and tape. I cut an oval out of plain white paper and drew a face, which I glued to the blank.

Using double-sided tape, I decorated our Cheburilka with a bow. Olesya liked the heroine and wore her with other heroes all day!

I thought for a long time about what I could come up with out of cups, but absolutely nothing came to mind. And when I went to the store to buy cups, they only had clear ones in stock. This came as a surprise to me. I imagined white paper ones or with a pattern. I decided to use this disadvantage and turn it into an advantage. Don't lose transparency. Moreover, the theme of classes in the city of professions is “Restaurant”. That’s how it all came together and the idea of ​​a children’s bar was born.

On the menu: tea, coffee/chocolate, milk, strawberry, cherry, plum, apple, pear, banana, peach, orange, carrot juices.

They come with decorations: whipped cream, strawberries, lemon and orange slices, mint and straws. You can order different combinations from the little bartender.

Making: I prepared strips of multi-colored paper of three types: narrow, medium and widest. I secured the stripes in the cup with tape, but some of the flowers were made of self-adhesive paper. For the bartender's convenience, the child and the child placed stickers with fruits that were found at home on the cups. Orange and lemon slices from white cardboard with orange and yellow applications.

There is a slot in the middle for putting on a glass. Strawberries and mint are cut out of construction paper and folded in half. Whipped cream from a rolled white napkin. We got:

• carrot-banana-orange fresh juice with a slice of orange;
• pear-plum juice;
• Tea with lemon;
• apple-peach-cherry fresh juice;
• chocolate-strawberry milkshake with whipped cream, garnished with mint and strawberries.

Bon appetit!

Attention, TODAY only!

Children are always delighted when they manage to make interesting craft or a toy with your own hands, and especially when the basis for such a product becomes a familiar and unremarkable object. Even crafts made from disposable cups for children will be incredibly interesting if you help them see something unusual in each cup.

We offer interesting option crafts from disposable cups – .

Kids will be happy to use it in their games, and older children may find it useful on or off.

To begin work, we will need to make two small holes in the bottom of the cup. We use sharp scissors or a stationery knife for this purpose. You can also take a regular knife with a narrow blade if a stationery knife is not available.

Each hole will need to be slightly widened by turning the blade of a knife or scissors in it.

Next is the most dirty part of the work - we will need to cover the glass with paint. For this purpose we use gouache, acrylic, paint for painting or a can of paint aerosol. To avoid getting your hands dirty, wear rubber household gloves.

When the paint dries, apply a beautiful pattern to it. In our case, these will be stars, which we will draw with a golden marker. You can use the same gouache or acrylic to apply the pattern, as well as various varnishes and decorative nail polishes.

In addition to the pattern, we apply golden dots over the entire surface of the future bell.

We cover the base of the cup with the same golden paint.

We put a bell with a hole on a thick wire. You can buy it at a craft store.

Twist the wire several times.

We thread the ends of the wire into the holes. Do not insert the wire all the way. The bell should hang low enough (it should be slightly visible).

We intertwine them at the top.

And we fasten the ends of the lace or wire to each other so that a loop is formed.

Cover the base of the cup wall and its edge with PVA glue.

And sprinkle generously with decorative glitter.

To prevent glitter from scattering all over the table, sprinkle it over some container. You can pour glitter into a container and dip a glass in it. Shake off the excess.

The bell is almost ready! Decorate it with a lush bow.

We set the edges of the bow on fire with a lighter to prevent them from fraying.
