Čestitke za Uskrs - Easter cards

Evo jedne jednostavne ideje za izradu čestitki. Nije isključivo vezana za Uskršnje praznike, pa je možete primeniti za bilo koju drugu priliku.
Potreban materijal možete pronaći na slici:

Pošto Ema još nije dovoljno vešta sa lepkom, ja sam joj iscrtala oblike, a ona je posipala griz. Ukoliko je vaše dete starije ili veštije, možete olovkom iscrtati oblike koje želite da napravite, pa da zatim ono prati te linije lepkom.

Mi smo se odlučile za kukuruzni griz jer je dosta jarke boje pa ga nije potrebno dodatno bojiti, ali možete koristiti i običan griz ili čak i pirinač. Švrljajući Internetom našla sam uputstvo za bojenje pirinča - potrebno je da rastopite prehrambenu boju u malo alkohola, stavite boju i pirinač u kesu za zamrzivač, dobro je vežete i promućkate. Potom prospete pirinač na tacnu i ostavite da osuši. To ćemo isprobati neki drugi put.



Kada smo završile sa čestitkama, nastavile smo da se igramo i dalje, pa smo lepkom iscrtavale razne oblike po papiru i posipale grizom. Ti radovi sada ponosno stoje izloženi na frižideru.

Here is a very simple idea for making cards. The design is not exclusively linked to Easter, so you can use the idea for any other occasion, or just for fun.
What you will need:

• thicker paper for the cards
• glue (ours is white, but turns transparent when dry)
• corn semolina
• a tray so that the semolina doesn't end up all around your flat

Since my daughter is not crafty enought when handling glue, I drew out the shapes and she was in charge of pouring the semolina. If your child is older or better at working with glue, you can use a pencil to draw the shapes you want and then he/she can trace them with glue.

We decided to use corn semolina since it has quite a vivid colour and it doesn't need additional colouring. However, you can use wheat semolina or even rice. Surfing the Internet I found some tips on how to dye rice - dissolve some food dye in rubbing alcohol, pour the dye and the rice in a freezer bag, close it tightly and shake it. Then pour the rice onto a tray and leave to dry. We'll try out this idea some other time.

After we had finished with making the cards, we continued to play around, so I used to glue to draw different shapes on regular paper, which my daughter covered with semolina. These works of art are now proudly pasted to our refridgerator.
