Birthday, March 8 and New Year's Day crafts for grandmother: master classes with simple templates and original photo ideas

Grandmother, kind and understanding, is always ready to comfort her large and small grandchildren, to support their strength with delicious pies and give practical advice. In return, grandchildren share their most intimate secrets and tiny secrets with their grandmothers, and they prepare unusual surprises for the holidays.

Of course, not all grandchildren can present expensive gifts, and grandmothers often do not really need them. Much more pleasure will bring them handicrafts created by their own hands.

There are quite a few gifts, simple and complex, that can be made by both adult kids and toddlers.

Postcards

The easiest crafts for grandma for her birthday and all other holidays are postcards. You can, of course, make a very simple card from a sheet of paper with a drawn bouquet of flowers.

But you can try and create a real miracle, using techniques:

Quilling (creating patterns from twisted strips of paper).
Scrapbooking (making real works of art with ribbons, beads, artificial flowers, elegantly cut paper, exquisite drawings). For such cards you usually choose a special paper, but the first work can be done with ordinary sheets of white paper.
Balloons. Adult help is needed here. A large balloon can be divided into four or six parts and gently inflate each piece. After all the balloons are firmly tied with string, they are attached to the prepared card. Such an unusual greeting is sure to be a highlight of any holiday.

Huge cards made from a sheet of Watman would look original. A large format can accommodate all the warmest words. Or you can worry about congratulations in advance and stress all the relatives.

Glued congratulations from all the near and far people will be a wonderful surprise for the grandmother. And also such congratulations can be supplemented with photos of family faces. The possibilities of modern technology allow you to do this without much trouble.

A wall newspaper

Another uncomplicated type of congratulations offers a wall newspaper. To create it, you will need:

A sheet or several sheets of wattman;
photographs;
A little imagination for thinking up funny inscriptions;
colored pencils or felt-tip pens.

You can make a retrospective by finding childhood and teenage photos of grandma, or pick out her most favorite images. And for a fairly young grandmother, you can create a wish list by dividing the wishing list into sectors and placing certain pictures and wishes in each sector.

Flowers

Rare woman does not love flowers. But not always a child can buy a bouquet of beautiful roses or unpretentious carnations. In this case, flowers can be made by yourself.

Artificial flowers

Simple paper crafts for grandmother in the form of flowers will not be difficult. Kids can cut flower petals from paper and glue them to the paper. But it will be much nicer to get a volumetric bouquet of:

asters or dahlias from slightly bent sheets of paper;
Hyacinths from twisted strips of paper;
Iris from lightly melted plastic bottles;
crocuses or tulips from plastic spoons;
carnations from magazines or newspapers;
Roses from corrugated paper.

Live flowers

Real bouquets can be collected in the field, but if the weather does not allow it, you can grow flowers yourself. To do this, you will have to buy seeds and soil, find a suitable pot.

As flowers you can use:

spicy herbs;
tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers;
Flowering or evergreen plants,

Unusual crafts for grandmother with their own hands in the form of a pretty herbalist can be made from earth and an unnecessary sock.

To do this:

fertile soil is mixed with grass seeds;
The mixture is placed in an ordinary sock;
The sock is given the desired shape, it is easiest to make a cube or a ball, but with a little effort you can make a snowman or a dog;
put the herbalist in a saucer with water.

A planter

New pots will be useful for existing plantings. A mayonnaise bucket or even an old flowerpot will do just fine.

Decorating with thread

The easiest way to create a new pot is to transform a suitable pot with woolen thread or twine. To do this, a thick layer of glue is applied to the old pot, on which the threads are carefully glued.

The tighter the layers of thread will fit, the neater it will look like a craft for grandmother from her granddaughter or grandson. For beauty, the layers can be stacked on two diagonals, forming a neat triangle.

Decorating with fabric

It will be even easier to create a new habitat for plants with the help of fabric. To do this, the pot is wrapped with a suitable material, which is then arranged in cute folds. To ensure that the new outfit does not fall apart, it is fixed with a satin ribbon or a piece of lace, pricked with decorative pins.

The most unusual pot will turn out if the fabric is soaked in plaster and dried on an ordinary bucket. Unusual folds and the originality of the form will help to create an exclusive decoration of the window sill.

Edible bouquets

It also happens that grandmother is not very fond of taking care of flowers. In this case, you can give her an edible bouquet.

It can be made from:

candy hidden in wrapping paper or petals of artificial flowers;
Salted straw and crackers, packed in transparent sleeves and decorated with salted slices of dried bread;
Fish and sausage slices.

The choice depends on grandma's preferences.

Delicious crafts

You can also make other treats for a loved one.

Vitamins

Sweet vitamins are suitable for a grandmother of any age. For this purpose, all you need:

Take a clean plastic or small glass jar.
Put small candies inside, you can even use regular jelly beans.
Decorate the jar with an appropriate caption: "Vitamins for health, happiness, success".
Put a nice cover on top or make it from colored paper or brightly colored fabric and fasten it with string or thick thread.

Dessert

A delicious cake or brownie can be created by yourself even without baking. It can be:

"Potato" of cookies and butter;
marshmallow or cottage cheese cake;
Berry dessert with whipped cream.

Well, if mom comes to the rescue, you can bake the most real cake.

Salad

A novice hostess is unlikely to be able to cook a full meal, but even an inexperienced cook can cut up a salad. Just like making pretty sandwiches.

Useful tricks

If you want to present a more useful item, you can make:

wood crafts for grandmother in the form of a cutting board or shelf;
a soft cozy rug from terry towels or bathrobes;
a knife holder made of glass jars and plastic tubes (macaroni or popsicle sticks);
spice jars from baby food jars;
a decorative pillow from an old shirt, a piece of fabric, and filler.

In general, you can make a good gift with your own hands quite inexpensively, and the craft can become a real decoration of the house or a useful thing.
