Thread making is an entertaining activity that trains fine motor skills and develops the imagination. This hand-made is suitable for adults, teenagers and young children.
Yarn crafts can be made as gif.webpts for the New Year or for holidays such as February 23 and March 8. They are perfect as souvenirs or interior decorations for a solemn event.
Conditions for creating crafts from yarn
The photo of yarn crafts shows only a small part of the huge material world, the details of which can be made from threads. In fact, it is realistic to embody almost everything that is born in the imagination. You just need to be patient and pick up the appropriate materials:
- Threads of various colors, textures, compositions (acrylic, wool, cotton, viscose, polyester),
- Crochet hooks of different diameters,
- Scissors and a stationery knife,
- A basket for tangles so that they do not "scatter" around the room.
Additional materials that will come in handy if you make an exclusive version - canvas-stramin, rhinestones and beads, bugles, knitting needles and wire, wire cutters for it.
Craftsmanship in 30 minutes
In just a matter of minutes, you can make a variety of yarn crafts for children. Ways - knitting or crocheting, macrame weaving, gluing, tying, embroidery, etc.
Craft a Christmas tree from yarn - a simple winding of a cardboard / paper frame in the form of a cone with green threads and then decorating such a "tree" with buttons or yarn of other colors.
The yarn is convenient to use for weaving children's jewelry - bracelets, cords, baubles in a knotted way. Basic macrame skills will help you come up with a pattern or diversify the finished one.
Multicolored threads threaded inside transparent beads or glass beads will themselves become real decorative elements.
Knitted creativity: from simple to complex
It is convenient to make airy flowers from yarn on a special machine tool or a homemade device. You will need plywood and stud buttons. 4 need to be stuck in the center, the rest - around the perimeter.
By wrapping the pins in a certain order (arbitrary), you can shape the core and petals of the flower.
Both simple and complex, you can make such crafts from yarn with your own hands, such as:
- Potholders and coasters for hot dishes,
- Knitted and woven handbags,
- Belts to match the color of your clothes,
- Baskets / boxes made of bundles or cords tied with yarn,
- Litter made on the canvas using the carpet method of attaching threads.
New Year's yarn crafts differ in technique. You can prepare pom-poms from threads in advance and then combine them into a Christmas tree or a snowman. If you have the ability, it is worth doing artistic embroidery on fabric, inventing a plot on a New Year's theme on the go.
Crafts from Bullfinches yarn are so simple that children themselves can handle it. You need to take 2 bundles of thread and, bending in half, insert them into one another.
Raised by the middle, the threads form a continuous material that will easily cover the base - a ball crumpled from newspaper. So it turned out the little body of the bird. The head can be formed by the third beam in a similar way. The remaining tips form a ponytail. The design of the paws and the eye - by the forces of imagination.
A light, unobtrusive, artless fruit bowl will be made from yarn wrapped around a balloon. Each thread must be dipped in PVA glue and attached to the surface, forming an arbitrary pattern.
Once dry, the ball can burst and be easily removed. In a similar way, a pig is made from yarn, as well as a dog, an owl, a bear, a chicken, etc. Weightless Christmas balls look very beautiful - made of white threads.
Armed with a crochet hook, you can create such unsurpassed masterpieces from yarn, such as:
- Openwork napkins with a diameter of 50 cm or more, curtains, tablecloths;
- A miniature sewing machine or chapel;
- Marine sailboat or balloon;
- Amigurumi turtles and so on.
To make them, you will need instructions and several free evenings. Tying the parts and connecting them sequentially into a single design will require care and scrupulousness.
Colors brought to life
The best option for needlework perfection is a picture of threads. Strictly measured in length, they are laid out along or across the sheet in accordance with the boundaries of the drawing indicated on the sketch.
Smeared with PVA glue, they can be easily fixed close to each other. If you don't have enough energy for a picture, you can at least make a frame.
In the same way, threads of different colors can be successfully used to decorate plasticine crafts: to decorate the roof of a house or imitate water jets near a fountain, river, waterfall, the texture of a wicker fence, etc. Due to the stickiness of the material, the threads can not be lubricated with glue, but slightly pressed into the plasticine.
A new-fashioned introduction is a volumetric topiary made of threads. Such a "tree of happiness" is made solely on the basis of suitable materials and your own imagination. It can be placed in a sideboard as a souvenir or taken to school for a competition.
You can make from yarn of suitable shades:
- Hair for a homemade doll;
- Wool for a hand-sewn soft toy;
- A beard for Santa Claus;
- Homemade buttons - just wrap or tie the usual accessories with threads;
- Fringe for napkins, tablecloths, rugs;
- Nets for a baby net;
- Clamps for indoor plants, climbing and lianas;
- Decorative laces for shoes.
Synthetic threads of different colors will produce:
- Washcloths;
- Hot coasters;
- Wicker waterproof napkin rugs, indispensable in the kitchen;
- Shopping bags.
Do-it-yourself yarn can be the first step on the way to winning the competition of craftswomen-needlewomen or presenting your work at the virtual Livemaster Fair.
Improving technology and speeding up the process, which necessarily accompany the repeated manufacture of crafts, will benefit the manufacturer.
