Handmade crafts for May 9 - a detailed description with photos of ready-made crafts

This is actually a holiday with tears in his eyes. On this day we remember the great heroes of the most terrible war, the old men, women and children who remained to work in factories and factories, plowing the fields by hand, providing the army with ammunition, clothing and food.

We sing the songs of the war years, watch the films about the life of the front-line soldiers and the people who lived on the home front. And it is very important to involve our children and grandchildren in the memory of this historical period, so that the memories of the humble heroes are not lost. This goal is also served by handmade crafts for May 9.

Most often, these creations are cards, wall newspapers, military equipment, the imitation of the Eternal Flame, the decorations for the ribbon of St. George.

Postcards

The main decorations of postcards are:

scarlet carnations;
doves of peace;
cranes flying;
red stars;
the flag of the USSR;
fireworks over the Kremlin or ordinary high-rise buildings.

To make a postcard, you will need a sheet of cardboard, colored pencils, felt-tip pens, and paint.

Simple cards are made by simply folding white cardboard. The card can have a standard horizontal or not quite the usual vertical arrangement. On the front side is beautifully drawn a large number 9. It can be decorated with delicate silhouettes of doves, bright carnations, tied with a St. George ribbon, flowering branches of apple trees. On top you can paint a colorful fireworks display.
Applique on the card will be more attractive and neat decoration. For this, you can print out pictures from the World Wide Web, use old magazines or postcards.
A little more complicated are three-dimensional cards. They are decorated with flowers from paper, performed in the technique of quilling.
Postcards of the military type can be made in the form of a triangle. In this case, they are decorated with images of military equipment, postmarks of those years.

Paintings .

Various pictures can be made with the help of:

embroidery;
applique;
quilling;
paints.

Drawings can be the same as on postcards or more colorful, describing a particular battle or any other event. Samples will provide the same Internet.

Handicrafts for windows

A great idea for decorating the room will be paintings on glass or quite unusual paper cutouts. The first are drawn with special paints, the second are cut out of paper using a template. Such a decoration will make passersby remember the difficult era of the Great Patriotic War, especially for apartments located on the first floors.

This will be a great craft for May 9 in the kindergarten, highlighting the windows of the group and forcing to decorate the home windows in the same way.

Bouquets of flowers

A beautiful craft for May 9 at school can be represented by a bouquet of flowers. But since the holiday carries a touch of bitterness for all the dead, the best bouquet will be modest and austere scarlet carnations.

You can make such flowers from ordinary or corrugated red paper. For this paper sheet width of about 10 centimeters is folded in half, and then again in half. The resulting blank is cut into thin noodles, not reaching the fold. The uncut side is twisted on a wooden skewer or cocktail straw, and green duct tape or paper is used to decorate the calyx of the bud and the stem. The head of the flower is slightly trimmed, giving the shape of a real carnation.

If using corrugated paper, you can cut out petals, fluff each piece separately and combine it into a lush bud.

Tie the creation can be St. George's or black ribbon, instead of a bow, pin a five-pointed star.

Photo frame

Any family will have a photo of a veteran. On the holiday, you can pull it out of the photo album and place it in a prominent place. And to prevent the photo from falling down, it should be provided with a photo frame.

To do this, you will need to prepare two sheets of fairly thick cardboard. One will become the base of the craft, the second will play the role of the frame itself. To do this, a hole is cut in it, which should be slightly smaller than the picture of a combat relative or a selfless home front. The shape (circle, square, rectangle) is chosen by the master himself. He also selects the decorative elements. Most often they are stars, tongues of flame, a flag.

The base and frame are glued on three sides. Before gluing, you can put small pieces of cardboard between them, this will help you insert and remove the photo neatly.

Near the photo you can put a bouquet of flowers or twigs with leaves blooming as a sign of victory over the enemy and the coming of peace.

Decorations of the St. George Ribbon

The two colors of the symbol of victory are reminiscent of the smoke and fire of the war years. Usually the ribbon is not decorated with anything, but young craftswomen can make a small brooch, elegantly shading the usual Victory sign.

A good craft will be a canzashi flower, made of satin ribbons of red, red or black colors. It can be presented in the form of one large flower or consist of several small flowers.

Military equipment

Boys will enjoy creating military equipment more. It can be a craft made of clay, which is loved by all children. Or unusual crafts from improvised materials:

A tank from ordinary kitchen sponges;
airplane from a matchbox and cardboard, ice cream sticks;
helicopter from a Rastischka bottle, a tennis ball, and cocktail straws.

Eternal fire

A great craft will be a homemade Eternal Flame. For this master will need a very small box (it is easy to make it yourself), a thick cardboard base, flame tongues cut out of orange paper or drawn with paints. For quality gluing, the flame petals are made a little larger at the bottom and bent.

Flame tongues are glued to the base of the box, the box is set on a pedestal. The craft can be decorated with small stars of plasticine or paper. You can put a red flag with a hammer and sickle, a star cut out of an unnecessary CD or a picture with white doves.

There are a lot of ideas for Great Victory Day crafts. Often young creators think up very unusual crafts and embody them on their own or with the help of parents, grandparents.
