A gift to my mother with my own hands: a homemade daisy made from cotton wool

Gifts in the style of "hand-made" - a great way to not only make a loved one close, but also develop your creative abilities. Especially if crafts carry away the child. And not necessarily at the same time to acquire some special, expensive materials.

A beautiful gift to my mother with my own hands can be made literally from improvised, affordable means. For example - from cotton wool discs, which are in every house today. We offer you a simple master class for the production of a pretty voluminous flower made from cotton discs in the form of chamomile.

Chamomile made of cotton wool: a master class

Necessary materials:

• cotton wool double - 8-9 pcs .;
• white thread;
• PVA glue;
• watercolor paints.

Step-by-step instruction for creating chamomile from cotton balls

1. Let's start with the petals, the workpieces are made as follows: bend one edge of the disk by a third, then - the opposite edge so that it turned out something like a bag or cone. The narrowed edge of the workpiece is fixed with a thread, wrapping it around so that it does not turn around. Similarly, we form 7-8 petals.
2. In order to make our piece of chamomile from cotton wheels really resemble its prototype, we use threads to connect the ends of all the blanks with each other. At the same time, attach the blanks of the petals to each other in such a way that a circle turns out. To do this, fasten the last tab from the entire bonded chain of blanks to the first with the same thread. Note that the petals need to be spread out with curled edges.
3. Now we turn to the formation of the middle of the chamomile. She has this yellow flower, so in order to maximally bring such an original gift to her mother with her hands to a real chamomile, we plant a yellow dye and dip a single cotton disc into it. Gently wring out the colored preform of the center and dry well. Then glue the adhesive on it and glue it to the main workpiece.

A ready-made hand-made chamomile made of cotton discs can be presented in the form of a voluminous postcard or in the form of a bouquet, "planted" on the stem.

Necessary materials:

• cotton wool double;
• colored paper (green);
• plasticine;
• colored cardboard (blue);
• PVA glue;
• scissors.

Step-by-step instruction for creating chamomile from cotton balls

1. Prepare the cardboard basis for our gift to my mother with my own hands, for which we cut off half of the cardboard sheet, and already from it we cut out a large oval.
2. From the colored paper we cut out 3 thin stems and 3-4 leaves. To the last looked volume, gently bend them in half. Ready stems and leaves are glued to the cardboard blank with glue.
3. We turn to the main accent of crafts - chamomiles made of cotton wool. Fold the discs in half and cut the edges in the form of chamomile, a little short of the center. For greater convenience, you can pre-apply the cut lines with a pen or pencil.
4. From the balls of plasticine we form the centers for flowers and place them on the blanks of chamomiles, slightly pressing down.
5. Finished daisies glued on stems.

For greater effect for such a postcard, you can also make a frame. For example - from modular origami.
