Anđelčići - Little Angels

Približava se novogodišnji vašar u Eminoj školi i uveliko smo u pripremama. Do sada sam uvek čežnjivo gledala ovakve ukrase, ali se nisam odvažila da pokušam da ih napravim. Ipak, veoma je jednostavno, tako da sedmogodišnjak može skoro samostalno da izvede sve, a i trogodišnjak može da pripomogne (lepljenjem šljokica).

Potrebno vam je:

1. tacna od stiropora
2. čiode
3. neka vrsta prediva (sa što više prirodnog materijala da bi bolje upilo lepak, mi smo koristili St. George pamuk)
4. papir
5. makaze
6. drvofiks ili neki sličan lepak rastvorljiv u vodi

Na papir nacrtajte oblik koji želite da napravite (anđeo, jelka, zvezda), isecite ga i postavite na tacnu od stiropora okrenutu naopako. Oko ivice šablona postavite čiode, naročito pazeći da ih postavite na uglove, pa skinite šablon. Zatim u posudi napravite rastvor lepka i vode (odokativnom metodom) i u tu smesu ubacite parče prediva. Kada ga fino natopite, stavite predivo oko čioda, opcrtavajući oblik, pa zatim cik-cak kako želite. Kada završite sa cik-cak fazom, bilo bi poželjno da vam ostane dovoljno prediva da još jednom pređete po ivicima čioda, da biste sve dobro fiksirali. Ostavite da se osuši, pa posle izvucite čiode. Ukrasite po želji.

We are getting ready for the Christmas fair at Ema's school and I thought that this would be a nice addition to the sale. I have wanted to try this out for a long time, but never got round to do it. So, this is the year! The technique is very simple, a seven-year-old can do almost everything independently and a three-year old can help out by adding glitter.

 

You will need the following:

 

1. styrofoam plates

2. pins

3. paper

4. scissors

5. yarn (with as much natural fibre as possible, for better absorption of the glue)

6. water soluble glue

 

Draw the shape you want to make (Christmas tree, angel, star), cut it out and place the stencil onto the styrofoam plate turned upside down. Put the pins around the stencil, making sure to mark the edges, then remove the stencil. Make a mixture of glue and water (use your best judgment for the ratio) then put a piece of yarn into it. Soak it well, then place the yarn around the pins. First mark the outer edge of the shape, then zig-zag between the pins as you wish. It is recommended that after the zig-zag part you do another round of outlining the shape, to fix the zig-zag better. Wait to dry. When dry, remove the pins and decorate the ornament as you wish.
