New Year's kinusaiga. New Year's master class "Christmas ball in the technique of kinusaiga". Let's try to make a simple paper ball

New Year's master class "Christmas ball in the technique of kinusaiga". Author MK Maria Studilina. Kinusaiga is a Japanese technique for creating silk paintings, an artistic genre that arose, so to speak, on the basis of economy. Or rather, Japanese frugality. Initially, it was a way to "recycle" old worn-out kimonos. In the modern handicraft world, based on this technique, needlewomen create boxes, decorate Easter eggs, create panels and paintings, and, in particular, decorate Christmas balls, which I propose to do today. So, to create a Christmas ball, we need: * a round foam blank * nail scissors or a thick skewer * scraps of fabric * a clerical knife for cuts in the blank * decorative braid, beads, satin ribbons for decoration. First of all, we make marks on the ball blank, along which we will notch the ball. It is convenient to divide the workpiece into slices. After that, we take a clerical knife, and make not too deep cuts. In them we will hide the flaps of fabric. To make it smoother, it is convenient to use the thread by wrapping the ball and adjusting the lines that the thread forms. You can divide the ball into as many slices as you like. But here, I think, the main thing is not to overdo it, and not to make too thin slices, otherwise the workpiece may crumble during the process of notching and "hiding" the fabric. Slices can be of different widths, some are wider, others are smaller. There is room for fantasy here. I'm not talking about the patchwork combination of colors and textures. After the ball is prepared, it is necessary to cut the flaps, cutting the fabric into rectangles that fit the length and width of your slices. I leave a good allowance on the flaps, which can always be trimmed after the fabric is hidden in the incision. Otherwise, if you leave too little an allowance, you may simply not have enough shreds. The preparatory stage is over, and the fun begins) We begin to hide the fabric in the cuts. Sometimes it is recommended to coat the workpiece with PVA glue, glue the flap, and then hide it in the cuts. I did not use glue, and did not regret it. Everything turns out smoothly and evenly. In order to hide the fabric in the cuts, I used closed nail scissors, it is very convenient to hold in my hand. It turned out to be inconvenient for me to work with a skewer, it is rather thin and round, I wanted something flat and stable in my hand. You can choose the tool that is convenient for you. First we hide one side of the slice, then the other. When everything is ready, and you like it, we cut off the remaining allowances with confidence, and hide the rest in a notch. I didn’t use glue on purpose, because if the fabric pulls to one side, or something goes wrong, you can always remove the patch and try again, achieving the best result. And if the fabric is glued, this will no longer work. In addition, without glue, in my opinion, the tension is more successful, so that the mosquito does not undermine the nose =) There is one more nuance here. When you hide the patch in the incision, it is better, holding the fabric with the finger of your left hand, to move from the center of the slice, first in one direction, for example, in the right incision, and then in the other - to the left. If you move with pressure movements from the middle to the edge, the fabric will lie more evenly and without wrinkles. This is where my nail scissors turned out to be the most successful tool, because it will not be possible to straighten the fabric with a skewer. When both edges of the patch are hidden, I slowly run the scissors from top to bottom along the incisions so that the small folds formed in the places where the fabric is hidden are straightened out. Our first slice is ready. We do the same with each sector. When your ball is completely "stuffed" with shreds, the only thing left is to decorate the toy. The seams are closed with satin ribbons, decorative braid, a string of beads, in general, whatever you want. I hid the braid tails deep with scissors into the ball itself. Deep so that the ball, although weightless, hangs comfortably and holds itself by the loop =))) I would advise you not to rush to cut off the tape or braid. First, you need to hide one tail in the top of the ball, wrap the ball around it, and hide the second end of the braid in the same place on the top of the head, having already cut it off. Do this with each seam of the ball. On one of the seams, do not forget to leave the braid longer to form a loop.

Kinusaiga is one of the art forms that combines appliqué, mosaic, patchwork and woodcarving. Pictures are created from unusual shreds of fabric. This genre arose on a wave of economy, when you didn’t want to throw away old things and you had to give them a second life. This technique is part of the culture in Japan. All the paintings that are made in this technique by hand, have a very high cost. In this article, we propose to analyze the most popular kinusaig master classes for beginners. If you love creativity, then believe me, kinusaiga will pull you in.

Christmas balls

Step-by-step production of New Year's balls using the kinusaige technique can be viewed using the master class as an example.

It is necessary to take foam balls, lace, shreds of cotton fabric, a stationery knife, small scissors and a ballpoint pen, a tool for threading fabric.

The first step is to draw a small pattern on the future New Year's ball. For beginners, it is worth doing geometry - squares, circles, because it is better to start with a simple one. We draw everything with a ballpoint pen.

On top we carry out a clerical knife, immersing the blade to a depth of 1 cm.

Now we take a small piece of fabric, it should be 2 cm larger for part of the pattern. For example, in our case it is a circle. We take our tool for filling the fabric and set the fabric along the contour. 5-8 mm should remain along the edges. We cut off the excess fabric and set the edges inside the foam. We work with such a scheme around the entire perimeter of the ball.

And in the last step, we decorate our New Year's products by gluing beautiful accessories: beads, lace, lace.

These are such beautiful balls for the Christmas tree turned out.

Bouquet of roses

Unfortunately, there is no detailed scheme for creating a decorative panel of roses on the Internet, but don't worry, we will tell you in detail and show you how to make such a patchwork without a needle. And an example can be a panel from another flower, for example, sunflowers.

For work, take thin foam, scissors, a clerical knife, fabric, a picture and a frame. The entire manufacturing process is shown in the photo.

We take out the cardboard from the frame and glue thin foam on it. Cut off the excess edges and put under the press for two hours.

Glue the diagram on top with a glue stick. Carefully cut each line with a knife. We make small cuts, 2 mm deep. Next, cut the fabric into shreds, a couple of mm wider than the required fragment. Then we glue each piece of fabric in place and tuck all the edges into the cuts.

Well, at the very end we insert the picture into the frame.

Panel schemes

We offer to consider the most popular patchwork patterns on foam, which are perfect for wood. Products according to these schemes can be performed not only by a master, but also by a beginner. And some of them are suitable for children. They are distinguished by their simplicity. But you should pay attention that you need to work with a clerical knife, so you need to be careful.

These applications are made for a considerable amount of time, but the result is worth all the expectations. Embroidery of such a picture with threads will take much more time. And if you already know all the basics of creating a panel with your own hands, then rather get to work. Suddenly, it is you who has a hidden talent for such work!

Girl in a hat.

And some schemes are perfect for the kitchen. They will bring a completely new atmosphere and give comfort to the room. Among these drawings are children.

And here is the finished version.

Back in school years, children made simple, but unique decorations for the New Year. Now, using different techniques, you can create amazingly beautiful Christmas balls quickly and easily with your own hands. The only thing you need to stock up on to make such products is fantasy, because there are no boundaries in creativity as such.

How to make small papier mache balls

To create such a creative papier-mâché balloon, you will need some old newspapers, glue and a balloon. This technique is familiar to everyone since childhood, so it should not be particularly difficult.

1. The balloon must be inflated to the desired size and tied tightly with a thread.
2. The newspaper needs to be crushed into small squares. It is not necessary to do this carefully, the main thing is that the pieces are not too large.
3. The first layer of newspapers is molded onto the ball without the help of glue. This is necessary so that the ball itself does not stick to the paper and can be easily removed. It is enough to dip the paper in water, after which it can easily attach to the surface of the ball.
4. All subsequent layers are smeared with glue, paper is molded onto it.
5. You need to make at least 8 layers. The resulting product should be strong enough.
6. Layers need to be built up so that the tail of the balloon always remains outside.
7. After all the layers are ready, the product must be given time to dry. This will take a couple of hours.
8. After all the layers have dried, the balloon must be pierced with a needle and carefully removed from the paper cocoon.
9. The resulting hole must be masked with a couple of layers of paper while not forgetting to attach the tape. The ribbon is needed so that the ball can be hung on the spruce.
10. If you plan to decorate the ball with paints, then it is worth making the last layer of white paper so that the paints look brighter.
11. Turn on all your imagination to decorate the ball.

Also, the ball can not be covered with white paper, so it will look much more interesting. On newsprint, you can draw the faces of animals, which will look quite funny and interesting.

We study step by step the quilling technique in decorating a ball

The quilling technique is quite simple to perform, but requires perseverance. Having mastered a couple of tricks of this technique, you can make such a Christmas ball. Quilling has in its assortment a lot of tricks with which you can create truly sophisticated interior decorations. You can use a foam ball as a base.

Weave with a detailed description unusual balls of thread

1. Inflate the balloon to the desired size.
2. Wrap it well with thread and coat with glue.
3. Hang in a dry and warm place to let the glue dry completely.
4. Pop the balloon with a needle and pull the thread out of the cocoon.

In order for the ball of thread to look brighter and more creative, you need to sprinkle it with sparkles or other material until the glue is dry.

Let's try to make a simple paper ball

1. The paper needs to be twisted into a bundle. In order for it to be enough, you need to connect several bundles together with glue.
2. Taking a foam ball, you need to glue one end of the tourniquet to the top.
3. You need to wrap the entire ball with a tourniquet so that there is no gap between the poisons. Each row of the flagellum must be coated with glue.
4. When the whole ball of paper is ready, you need to attach it to the thread in the form of a loop.

When the ball is ready, it can be coated with spray paint or regular paint.

How to make a Christmas ball with your own hands using decoupage technique

1. Ordinary plastic Christmas toys are suitable for decorating balls using decoupage technique. To begin with, such a ball needs to be prepared. To do this, the wire mount should be removed.
2. Treat the entire surface of the ball with sandpaper and wash off the paint with nail polish remover. This is necessary in order for the paint to adhere better to the surface.
3. After the paint is removed, the surface must be primed. To do this, mix pva glue and ordinary gouache. This mixture must be applied in several layers to the surface of the ball. Each layer should be given time to dry.
4. As soon as the balls dry, you can proceed directly to the design using the decoupage technique. To do this, you need napkins with an interesting pattern for you. The pattern must be cut out and attached to the surface of the ball, and then smeared with glue on top.
5. After the drawing dries, you need to carefully cover the ball with another layer of paint. This is necessary in order to level the line between the pattern and the main surface of the ball.

The long-awaited New Year holidays are approaching, on the eve of which we suggest you make Christmas balls with your own hands. Such a ball will not take you much time, you will definitely have time to dress up your green beauty.

Kinusaiga is a Japanese technique for creating silk paintings, an artistic genre that arose, so to speak, on the basis of economy. Or rather, Japanese frugality. Initially, it was a way to "recycle" old worn-out kimonos.

In the modern handicraft world, based on this technique, needlewomen create boxes, decorate Easter eggs, create panels and paintings, and, in particular, decorate New Year's balls, which is what we propose to do today.

So, to create a Christmas ball, we need:

• round blank of foam,
• manicure scissors or a thick skewer,
• fabric scraps,
• stationery knife for slots in the workpiece,
• decorative braid, beads, satin ribbons for decoration.

First of all, we make marks on the ball blank, along which we will notch the ball. It is convenient to divide the workpiece into slices. After that, we take a clerical knife, and make not too deep cuts. In them we will hide the flaps of fabric.

To make it smoother, it is convenient to use the thread by wrapping the ball and adjusting the lines that the thread forms. You can divide the ball into as many slices as you wish. But here the main thing is not to overdo it and not to make too thin slices, otherwise the workpiece may crumble during the process of notching and “hiding” the fabric. Slices can be of different widths, some are wider, others are smaller. There is room for fantasy here.

After the ball is prepared, it is necessary to cut the flaps, cutting the fabric into rectangles that fit the length and width of your slices. We leave a good allowance on the flaps, which can always be cut off after the fabric is hidden in the incision. Otherwise, if you leave too little an allowance, you may simply not have enough shred.

The preparatory phase is over, and the fun begins. We begin to hide the fabric in the cuts. In order to hide the fabric in the cuts, you can use closed nail scissors, it is very convenient to hold in your hand.

First we hide one side of the slice, then the other. When everything is ready and you like it, then with confidence we cut off the remaining allowances, we hide the rest in the incision.

Glue was not used here on purpose, because if the fabric pulls to one side or something goes wrong, you can always take out a piece and try again, achieving the best result. And if the fabric is glued, this will no longer work. In addition, without glue, the tension is more successful. There is another nuance here. When you hide the patch in the incision, it is better, holding the fabric with the finger of your left hand, to move from the center of the slice, first in one direction, for example, in the right incision, and then in the other - to the left. If you move from the middle to the edge with pressure movements, the fabric will lie more evenly and without wrinkles. When both edges of the patch are hidden, slowly run the scissors from top to bottom along the incisions to straighten out the formed small folds in places where the fabric is hidden.

Our first slice is ready. We do the same with each sector.

When your ball is completely “stuffed” with shreds, the only thing left is to decorate the toy. The seams are closed with satin ribbons, decorative braid, a string of beads, in general, whatever you want. We hide the braid tails deeply with scissors in the ball itself. Deep so that the ball, although weightless, hangs comfortably and holds itself by the loop. And do not rush to cut off the tape or braid. First, you need to hide one tail in the top of the ball, wrap the ball around it, and hide the second end of the braid in the same place on the top of the head, having already cut it off. Do this with each seam of the ball. On one of the seams, do not forget to leave the tape longer to form a loop.

Before the holidays, the age-old question of choosing a gift arises. Of course, you can buy cheap souvenirs in the nearest store, and the problem is solved. But a formal approach is not possible when it comes to close and dear people. We are analyzing a master class on studying the kinusaige technique will help create a miracle for beginners and create unique crafts for the home. This technique allows you to make charming roses on a panel postcard, which is perfect as a gift for a wedding or Valentine's Day.

Another type of crafts using this technique is souvenirs for the kitchen.

And even New Year's gifts can be made using the kinusaige technique - look at these original soft Christmas tree balls.

As can be seen from the photo of the finished work, kinusaig is somewhat similar to patchwork, indeed another name for this art is patchwork without a needle. Schemes for kinusaige are varied: from rectangular houses to complex pictures with animals and people.

The basis for the work is a soft material - foam. Therefore, this type of needlework is quite suitable for children and will not cause them any difficulties. The kid himself will be able to make Christmas balls or a patchwork on polystyrene as a gift for grandparents. A step-by-step description and video will help to deal with kinusaig.

We study a step-by-step master class on kinusaig for beginners and for children

The work begins with the preparation of the necessary materials and drawings for the panel. For kinusaiga you will need:

• remnants of colored fabric;
• a piece of foam;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• seam ripper, dummy paper knife, nail file or any sharp object (what exactly will be convenient, you will understand in the process of making a patchwork);
• buttons and pins.

For the first craft, you should not take complex drawings. Let's start learning the technique by making a flower on foam. Such a picture can be easily drawn by both an adult and a child. A sheet with a sketch is fixed on a piece of foam plastic with buttons.

To transfer the picture, we prick it with a needle along the contour at small intervals.

The next stage of work is the most dangerous, so it is better not to trust the baby. With a sharp knife (or a seam ripper), a picture on the foam is cut through the points.

Next comes the fun part! The work starts with the smallest detail. For it, a piece of fabric is cut out, which is glued to the base. In order for the shreds to match the parts of the picture, you can cut them out using the previously drawn sketch and do not forget to make allowances of 0.5 cm on each side of the part. The cut piece of material is applied to the foam and is tucked into the slot with a sharp object.

Thus, the entire flower is consistently "filled".

If it is difficult to make a background for your baby, you can cover it with acrylic paints, for example, this is how it was done for the second work. Here are some interesting pictures as a result. Simple materials, a little time - and the panel as a gift is ready!

Trying a volumetric kinusaig using the example of New Year's toys

Using bulk blanks in the form of foam balls, you can make unusual decorations for the Christmas tree.

The first stage is the most responsible. It is necessary to divide the ball into "slices" as even and neat as possible. The dividing lines are drawn with an ordinary ballpoint pen.

Tip for beginner craftswomen: wrap the workpiece with a regular thread, adjusting which you can get the required number of parts of the ball. Lobes can be from four to eight. It's not worth doing anymore. Too thin pieces on the foam will also require thin fabric patches, which will crumble in the process of “hiding” them. In principle, the pattern on the toy can be anything. It looks interesting ball with fabric strips of different sizes.

Along the marked lines, the foam blank is cut with a sharp knife to a depth of 1 cm.

Then, using elegant shreds of fabric, preferably with glitter or New Year's motifs, the future toy is decorated. A piece is cut off from the material, which is tucked into the slot with a sharp knife or nail file. Everything, as in the manufacture of panels! To make the job faster, you can make a template for "slices". The dressing allowance should be at least 0.5 cm. This is how an already laid piece of fabric looks like.

The rest of the ball is filled in the same way. The end result is a toy.

Decorative ribbons, cords, lace, rhinestones and beads will make it elegant and festive. To begin with, the joints are closed with a golden cord, which is fixed with PVA glue.

The final stage - we make a bow and a ribbon so that the toy can be placed on the New Year's tree.
