The corners can be fastened with a stapler or thread, as you prefer.

Next, using thick cardboard, scissors and glue make a cone-shaped base. Colored cardboard is best painted with white paint. The height of the cone can be any, at your discretion. The base must be very stable, so bottom edge it is better to additionally strengthen with tape or a strip of cardboard glued along the inner circumference.

When the "trunk" dries properly, you need to glue "needles" to it. Let's start from the bottom:

Master class on creating crafts from cotton pads

Let's take as a basis the New Year's (Christmas) wreath:

To make something like this, you will first need a foam circle (you can also take a round synthetic insulation). You can look for ready-made in stores, or you can cut it out of a regular rectangular piece of foam and polish it so that there are no corners left.

On foam base using sewing pins, we attach folded four-fold cotton pads. You can cover only one side if the wreath will hang on the wall, or cover the entire foam around if you plan to hang it, say, on a chandelier:

Do not forget about the ribbon, which will serve as a loop for hanging the finished product:

When the base is ready, simply pin or carefully glue suitable embellishments over the discs.

By the way, to support the theme, some of them can also be made from cotton wool. Let in our case it will be an angel - a symbol of Christmas.

We make an angel with our own hands

To make such an angel, divide the cotton pad into two thinner ones:

For beauty, the edges can be cut in waves so that they resemble a flower.

In the center of one of the resulting disks we put round bead, wrap it with a thread and straighten the figure so that we get a head and wings:

Now we need a slightly denser torso, on which all this will hold. The second disk is added as follows:

In the center of the body, you need to place a “leg” from an ordinary toothpick and fix it with a drop of glue. To make a hanging figurine, simply attach a thread loop to its head (no toothpick needed). Then we glue both parts, and decorate the wings with a felt-tip pen:

Such an angel can be stuck into the foam base of a wreath or used as a decoration for holiday baking.

Callas from cotton pads

This is a beautiful and very unusual tropical flower. People call it a white sail because it really looks like a sail. Also it is called female happiness. It is believed that if you give a lady such flowers, she will certainly be lucky in life. personal life and long-awaited changes for the better.

For that to make a bouquet of callas with our own hands, we will need the following materials and tools:

A step by step guide to making a bouquet

We start the work with take cotton pads and fold them in half.
Now we draw buds on them, such as these flowers should have (if you don’t know how they look, you can find photos on the Internet).
We take scissors and, according to the drawing, we cut out our calla buds from the disks.
Next to us need cotton swabs. Of these, we will make the core of the flowers.
Remove the cotton from one end of each stick.
The other end, on which the cotton wool remains, is dipped in yellow gouache.

Our blanks for the future bouquet of discs are ready.

Now let's take the preparation, made with your own hands from a cotton pad and wrap it around a cotton swab that acts as a stalk. We smear the edges of the disk with glue and connect with each other.

Wrap a cotton swab in green plasticine.

Our bud is ready.

Now let's make leaves for flowers.

To do this, we need to arm ourselves with a stroke and black cardboard.

We draw calla leaves on cardboard with a stroke. Next, using green plasticine coloring them. First, we take plasticine in our hands and warm it up. When it has become softer and more pliable, we smear the plasticine inside the contour of the sheet. It is best to start such manipulations from the edge of the leaf, so it will be more convenient to gradually stretch the plasticine towards the middle part.

Using a stack, we make veins on the leaves.

We take a stroke and draw on cardboard under the flowers pot. Color the soil with brown plasticine. Now we attach the buds already prepared before this to the foliage. If your stems turned out to be short, then you can lengthen them with green plasticine.

It remains to make a pot. For this we need white plasticine. We smear it over the silhouette of our pot. Now, as a decor, we fasten the beans.

Our craft is ready.

Now the final touch remains - to arrange the work in a frame.

Bouquet of snowdrops

You can make flowers from cotton pads with your own hands, which are the very first to bloom in spring - this is gentle and cute snowdrops. The principle of operation is similar to that described in the previous section.

Materials and tools

Getting started on the craft, you need first of all make a template, on which we will cut buds from cotton pads. To make them neat, you can find drawings or photos of snowdrops, print, cut and circle.

Flowers are ready. Now to us need to make stems. Just as in the case of callas, we make them from cotton swabs, but our actions will be slightly different. At one end, the cotton wool should be removed. On the second - lift a little up. We wrap the stick itself with green plasticine.

We cut each bud in the middle part. In these cuts you need to insert the stems. To make our snowdrop strong, we glue green plasticine over the junction of the bud with the stem. That is, in other words, we make a pedicel.

The heart of a snowdrop should be blue. We decorate it with plasticine of the appropriate shade. Now we attach the leaves.

Next, we make a vase for the bouquet with our own hands. A round jar of cream is ideal for her role. Decorate the vase with a bow. To do this, glue a small ribbon around its circumference. We leave the ends free and tie a neat bow out of them. We attach a bead to it.

Glue plasticine to the bottom of our vase. We will insert our snowdrops into it.

When everything is ready, it remains only to put cotton wool in a vase under the flowers. So the impression of a snowdrift will be created snow through which our spring flowers break through. Now you can send our craft to the exhibition or give it as a gift.

We take a sheet of cardboard and glue our stems and leaves to it.

If you are afraid that you will not succeed neatly or you will cut off something superfluous, then draw ballpoint pen on the disks of the line, along which it will be convenient to cut the flowers.

As you know, daisies have a yellow center. So that our flowers also have this, we sculpt from yellow plasticine balls. We glue them to our buds.

At the end of the work, we attach the petals to the stems.

Now take another cotton pad and glue it to the one attached to the skewer. As a result, we should have 6-7 cotton pads glued on top of each other in a checkerboard pattern.

To make the craft look like real roses, need to make sepals. This work is easy. We take corrugated green paper and cut out a figure resembling a fence from it.

Then we spread it with glue and wrap it around the bottom of our bud.

Next to us need to make a stem for a rose. To do this, take corrugated paper and cut a strip out of it. The strip should be narrow. We coat it with glue and wind it in a spiral onto a skewer. We also fix the tip with glue.

From the same corrugated paper cut out the leaves for our flowers. Cut them out and glue them to the stems.

Initially, it is better to abandon the knot on the thread - this will not help to achieve good fixation due to the softness of the cotton wool. After threading the bead inside the bud, the thread is cut off, and its tip is connected to the one on which the knot was not made.

In total, you will need to make 25 roses from 50 cotton pads. In this case, one part can be made with beads, and the other without.

Cotton pad dandelions

Although such a craft seems very simple at first glance, there are still some nuances in its manufacture.

Secondly, when fixing a cotton pad on a cardboard base, you must ensure that it is slightly wet. If it turns out that it is heavily saturated with glue, then you will not be able to fluff it even after it is completely dry. Therefore, it will be better if you apply glue to the disc pointwise.

So:

Cut out the bottom of a dandelion from paper.
Carefully glue it onto the cardboard base
Apply glue to the disk and fix it on paper too
Let it dry a little and then remove the top of the disc
Lightly fluff the dandelion with your fingers
