DIY crafts for a friend

If you want to give your girlfriend some jewelry or a scarf with flowers, but you think it’s not very interesting, then take it and make it yourself! Such a gift will be individual and will definitely not leave your friend indifferent. And you can put a piece of your soul into it, and at the same time show your imagination and love for your friend. In this master class prepared by Anna Moiseeva, we will crochet an easy necklace!

In order to knit such a necklace we will need:

  • blue, light blue, white thread;
  • hook 1.75 mm;
  • scissors;
  • needle;
  • chain.

To knit such a product, it is better to take thin yarn. The thinner the better. Our necklace will consist of 7 circles. 1 of them will be the largest and will be located in the center. The remaining 6 are 2 sets of 3. The sets will be the same.

Let's start knitting from the central one, that is, from the largest circle. We knit 12 sc in a slip stitch with blue yarn. We close the circle with a joint and tighten the ring.

We knit 1 row with blue yarn, adding every 2 stitches in the row. Closing the row, change the thread to white. We perform a row, adding every 3 loops of the row.

And all we have to do is connect the last row. In it we make additions every 5 loops of the row. The central circle is ready.

The next circle will consist of only 4 rows. First, we form a slip loop with blue yarn and work 12 sc into it. We will consider this to be the first row.

Then we change the thread again, but now to white. Add through 2 loops. Once again we change the thread to blue and knit a row, making increases every 3 loops of the row.

We knit 1 more exactly the same circle. We just have to connect the last 2 circles. These are the smallest parts of the necklace.

Again we knit 12 sc in a slip stitch with blue thread. Then we change it to blue. We perform a row with an increase through the loop.

We knit the same circle again. Now we just have to assemble the necklace. To do this, you first need to lay it out to understand how to sew the parts together.

Then we sew 2 smaller circles to the central large circle. Sew on different sides.

And then we sew others onto these parts. And at the end we sew on the smallest circles.

The last step will be the chain. We attach it to the loops of the circles. The crochet necklace is ready!

DIY postcards for March 8

As for the postcard, which does not require too much effort to make, you must use cardboard for its base, and the design can be done as appliqué, decoupage, scrapbooking or origami. It doesn’t matter what style such a card will be in, the main thing is that it should evoke tender feelings, be spring-like, bright, preferably with some flowers and contain nice words congratulations. Usually there are no difficulties with materials for such a gift.

A fluttering and weightless butterfly landed on a card intended to congratulate loved ones on their birthday. wonderful holiday– International Women's Day. This gift is quite possible for a child to make if he is already a schoolboy. Mom will be happy to receive this elegant product, and the child’s efforts will be appreciated. Since the card was made for congratulations on March 8, you can get a little creative and make the central figure not quite ordinary.

Let the butterfly’s wings remain chic and spreading, bright and eye-catching. But let the body itself be made in the form of the number 8. This is the main highlight of the proposed present. Not everyone will dare to play with a simple insect figurine like this, but the result will be truly beautiful.

To create the same bright and unusual postcard prepare:

  • thick cardboard base;
  • plasticine for creating a background, design, inscription and additional decoration;
  • a toothpick that will allow you to draw on plasticine and also attach small balls.

Making a greeting card with your own hands

Take everything you need for work. A big plus is the brightness of the plasticine; the brighter and more attractive the color of the material itself, the more expressive the postcard will be. Selecting shades of plasticine is already half the success.

To begin, very carefully apply juicy green plasticine to the surface of the cardboard. Try to make the layer very thin and smooth the pieces in different directions. It doesn’t matter that the light surface of the cardboard will show through. This way we will create an unusual, slightly aged effect. In general, the craft will look harmonious.

Make a thin purple sausage. It should be long enough to form a number 8. Glue the ends together to make a ring, then cross over to create the desired piece. Make wings from bright orange plasticine. Knead the pieces of plasticine in your hands, then press them on both sides with your fingers, while simultaneously giving the wings a suitable carved shape.

Start assembling a beautiful insect. Of course, we only use the silhouette to decorate our a wonderful postcard. Stick a figure eight in the center. Adhere to it on both sides of a pair of wings. Now we see a butterfly in front of us.

Roll out oblong white droplets from white plasticine. Make pairs of droplets of different sizes. These parts are intended to decorate the wings. Stick a few on each side.

Also, use a toothpick to glue red balls along the edge of the wings. Above the image of the insect, write “Happy Holidays!” In this case, there is no need to indicate March 8, because the number eight already appears on the postcard, so it is immediately clear what holiday the craft is dedicated to. Stick patterns on the corners to make appearance finished.

A beautiful gift does not have to be expensive. The main thing is to do it from the heart and not spare your imagination. Pack the gift beautifully, tie a bow, and now present it with in beautiful words to your loved one.

On postcards dedicated to the International women's day, it is customary to depict flowers. This is the most desirable and most beautiful gift for the fairer sex. And even if you don’t know what to give, flowers will always help out, it’s a win-win option.

But in this lesson, prepared by Elena Nikolaeva, we will not talk about how to choose a beautiful gift, but how to make it with your own hands. We offer unusual volumetric version– a postcard decorated with a bouquet of plasticine. The central buds are roses, the additional branches are blue cornflowers. The card looks gentle and rich at the same time.

Materials for the postcard:

  • thick cardboard;
  • multi-colored plasticine: red, yellow, green, blue and white;
  • thin toothpick.

How to make a beautiful greeting card with your own hands

There is a canvas in front of you. It doesn't matter what color it is. Pay more attention to its density and size. Choose the size for your craft, as well as the background color that will perfectly match the buds in the bouquet.

Fill the background completely with bright plasticine. Since you need to independently apply bright plasticine in a thin layer to the surface, the color of the cardboard is not initially important.

A beautiful bouquet can be made rich and beautifully complemented with simple wildflowers, such as cornflowers. Florists often do this. For small graceful branches, prepare thin green threads and green leaves, small blue beads.

First glue thin green twigs with leaves under one side of the card.

Then press down each leaf with a thin needle to make the surface more realistic and textured.

Collect small cornflower flowers. To do this, combine 4 blue balls together, press with your fingertips to get petals. Insert a white ball into the center. Attach the resulting flowers to ready-made branches.

Make 10-20 blue wildflowers. Stick in different places. Press down the white bead in the center with a toothpick on top, and also press down each blue petal.

Now move on to the rose leaves. They should be much larger. Make green flat droplets. Draw veins on top with a thin tool.

Assemble several combinations of thin green threads and the resulting carved drop-shaped leaves.

Glue green leaves randomly over the field branches.

For beautiful roses prepare red plasticine. Cut small pieces from the block.

Press and smooth each piece so that you get a flat, oblong petal.

Start twisting the petals into spirals to form beautiful red buds.

Form 3 buds. This will be enough to fill the picture.

Attach all the rose heads to the bouquet. Now you have a wonderful flower arrangement.

To make the inscription “Congratulations!”, stick a pink stripe somewhere on the side. Make an engraving with the sharp end of a toothpick.

If desired, fill the empty space with small multi-colored plasticine balls to create a rainbow-colored picture overall.

Beautiful greeting card ready with a bouquet of plasticine flowers.

Handmade gifts for any occasion are highly valued and arouse interest and tenderness towards them. Of course, you can’t say for sure that any woman will be happy with some small gift that you make with your own hands. After all, many expect chic and elegant gifts from their other halves. In such cases, a homemade gift can be given as a complement to the main and exquisite one.

Let's start making flowers for the bouquet. Cut out a 15*15 cm square from purple corrugated paper.

We cut the square every 5 cm with a strip of 7 cm. It turns out 3 “tails”.


We take one “tail”, retreat about 4 cm and squeeze it with our fingers.


Then grab the right corner and twist the “tail”.


Bend the twisted “tail” in half.


Closer to the top, take the resulting “tail” with two fingers and stretch the “ears”.


Thus, we do this with each tail. And this is what we got.


We put candy inside.


Apply a toothpick to the candy.


We hide the candy and wrap it tightly with thread.


I think that the essence is clear, we wrap 4 more candies in the same way.


Now there are two options for how to decorate the finished flower, I will show you both. You can make leaves from corrugated paper Green colour, in the same way as we made the flower itself. Cut a strip measuring 12*10 cm.


We make deep cuts every 4 cm.


We twist the “tails” just like on a flower.


Now these leaves can be secured to the flower with thread. But it seemed to me that it was too simple and I decided to dream up a little. From a bouquet of decorative flowers, we cut off sprigs of greenery and glue them to the flower.


Glue two flowers between the branches.


Thus, we decorate all 5 flowers with candies. ready, but to make the composition complete we’ll plant them in a pot.

Now let's start decorating the pot

We will need a glue gun and raffia. Raffia is a decorative fiber that can be purchased at any florist store; it comes in completely different colors. I prefer using hot glue because it's easier to work with. The glue heats up upon contact with the surface and instantly hardens. If you don’t have a glue gun, you can replace it with Moment Crystal glue or Titan glue. We start gluing the raffia to the pot from the bottom up.


We wrap the raffia around the pot and periodically secure it with glue.


Glue foam into the pot.


We insert the flowers into the pot.


We tie the pot with yellow raffia and tie a bow.


We fill the empty space between the flowers with green sisal.


That's all, the spring bouquet of sweets is ready. You can call the flowers whatever you want, for some they resemble crocuses, and for others tulips. Create with love, you will succeed! Spring holiday!
