New Year is the time for crafts with children. It is this time that he will remember as the most magical days spent with his family. Even the smallest kids can make Christmas snowflakes from pasta. And most importantly, they do not require special financial costs!
It is not a shame to give such beauty to grandmothers or decorate the New Year tree with them. Let's get started?
For pasta snowflakes you will need:
- pasta of various shapes and sizes;
- plasticine (for kids);
- silicone or super glue for older children;
- paints - acrylic or Gouache;
- decorative elements (sugar, semolina, glitters, sparkles, beads).
Small children can glue pasta on plasticine (to avoid fiddling with glue). The disadvantage of silicone glue is that you need to wait a long time until it “grabs”, for which kids do not always have the patience. It is best to use Moment glue or superglue (of course, under close supervision and with the help of adults!).
Everything is simple to do: we glue the pasta and decorate the snowflake (first with paints, then decorate).
Acrylic paints with mother-of-pearl look very advantageous, but if they are absent, you can use Gouache.
Another way to decorate pasta snowflakes is to spread the finished product with PVA glue, and then dip it in sugar, semolina or nail glitter (they are sold in small jars in nail fashion stores, cost about 70r).
In general, there are tons of ways to get creative. We hope these photos of stars and snowflakes give you some ideas. Happy New Year and fluffy snow!
