Crafts from pasta: from simple to complex.

Everyone knows how important the development of fine motor skills in babies is. Much attention is paid to this in pedagogy. Young mothers can just as effectively engage in the development of their children in simple daily activities and with the help of improvised means.

Not enough time for everything? You just take your kids next to you. For example, when preparing to eat, the baby can be seated nearby and given pasta and dough.

Pasta crafts for kids will captivate them with their heads. Beads, and more can be made from pasta.

Simple pasta craft ideas combined with salt dough or plasticine will train your fingers very well.

Pasta beads

One of the easiest children's crafts using pasta will be beads! Such beads can be made by children from about 1.5 years old. True, if your child is active and nimble, try giving him a string and large pasta in his pen - let him try to put pasta on the string!

Older children can easily cope with this task. And it would be appropriate for them to complicate the task somewhat. For example, you can offer to decorate pasta various forms v different colours paint and see what happens.

When the paint dries, all the pasta will need to be not only strung on a thread or ribbon, but also matched by color and shape. This task will also be on understanding the rhythm in a drawing or color. You can combine ordinary beads with pasta - an example in the photo.

Pasta Hedgehog

And such a craft can be done even by the most little kid, about a year old or a little older.

When mom is busy in the kitchen and she just has no time, then you can also keep a small child busy! Mom can make the simplest dough for crafts for a couple of minutes. Blind a hedgehog figurine and show a small child what to do with pasta.

The materials are all pure and natural: pasta and salt dough or just dough consisting of water and flour without salt.

Pasta in this craft is best used with a tube with a sharp tip. Get a real hedgehog.

But if the child is not yet a year old and the mother turns away to prevent the porridge, then turns to the baby, then for safety reasons, still give the child the usual tube of pasta without a sharp tip.

Application of pasta and plasticine

This pasta craft is for children aged one and a half years and older. This piece seems to be very simple. But in fact, it is not so simple for kids.

It is necessary to roll out the plasticine first green and lay out “grass” on paper or board. Then we do exactly the same "sky". From white plasticine, you must first roll the balls in the palms, and then make "clouds".

Now let's make the sun. We have a double one: first we put a circle of white plasticine at the top in the sky. Then, with yellow plasticine, we spread the sun on this white mug. We press yellow plasticine.

And now the most important task! We take pasta in the form of airplane figures and let the baby press the airplane into the sky with his fingers!

We do the same with cars and animals. And we got a picture!

Even with the kids, you can do these, which also train the fingers of the kids. And if there is a desire to find out, you can do such a craft.

I hope you liked the ideas of pasta crafts, and now you and your children will easily engage in educational activities.

Creative success to you. Share your ideas of what else you can do with pasta. Comment on the above. And show off your creations! After all, everything is not as difficult as it seems!

Modern pasta has the most varied form and are very affordable, making them an excellent material for decorative crafts. Pasta crafts are unique masterpieces in the hands of adults and children.

It is clear that the crafts made, due to their fragility, cannot serve any practical purpose (the same caskets or vases), but they can decorate the interior well.

In the pictures we offer, you can see how pasta of various shapes combines when creating decorative elements, such as, for example, different types flowers or ornaments. An excellent solution is a three-dimensional version - overhead elements on a homogeneous background structure.

Before proceeding with the creation of specific crafts, it is important to understand two points: how to connect the pasta to each other and how to paint them, because an unpainted product is not able to make the expected impression.

Connection of pasta elements

The most successful option for connecting pasta is, of course, gluing. Homemade craftsmen suggest using either PVA glue or the deservedly popular hot melt adhesive in the form of a glue gun. It is worth saying that both of these methods have disadvantages: in the case of PVA, it will be a longer time for gluing the elements and a not too strong connection that can collapse if you turn the craft in your hands; hot glue, on the other hand, requires some skill, as it seizes very quickly - first practice connecting quickly and accurately necessary elements. The advantage of PVA is considered to be cleaner work, without visible drops and influxes of glue. The best option for you naturally determined with time and experience.

This is an important, somewhat frightening process for many at first, which, in reality, is nothing complicated. In principle, you can paint an already finished product, or you can assemble it from already multi-colored elements. It is best to combine both approaches, achieving the best result.

If you and your child are tired of brightening up your leisure time with plasticine modeling, drawing, coloring, making various applications on the theme of spring, winter, autumn, summer and the like, then there is a great win-win option - to do an unusual creative work, as a result of which your house will turn into a real splendor. And guess what our needlework will be connected with, of course, this is pasta. Do not be surprised, because their purpose is not only to nourish and saturate us, but also to fascinate with beautiful works of art in the form of paintings, spectacular decorative dishes, caskets, animal figurines, fairy-tale characters and so on. If this is really some kind of innovation for you, then take a look at our article.

Creative activities help children develop their imagination and fine motor skills, and at the same time strengthen social relationships when held in a group or with parents.

For a change, in addition to the classic materials of plasticine or paper, you can use others, for example, pasta. They are in every kitchen. In addition, pasta crafts look beautiful and original.

To add brightness, you can color the pasta in advance, dividing them into small piles. For each you need to take a separate color.

What to paint?

Gouache is a classic and simple solution. Any child has such paints in the arsenal. They are convenient to paint pictures, finished crafts and blanks.

Painting technology:

1 option. Place the required amount of pasta in a small plastic container or bag. Combine the selected gouache color with water, then pour it in. Shake, mixing the contents, and leave to brew for 10-14 minutes. After waiting for time, drain the unnecessary liquid, remove the pasta and spread it out, let it dry.

Important! The brightness of the color depends on the amount of water. More liquid - less brightness.

Option 2. Coloring by hand. Lay out a few pasta, distributing on a sheet of plain paper. Paint them with a brush in turn. Paint without diluting with water. When finished, wait, let the products dry. Then carefully turn over and paint the bottom in the same way. If the shells are large, with holes, then you can hang them to make it more convenient to cover both sides of the product.

Food coloring is often used for creativity. It is corrosive, so put on gloves before working. The coloring technology is simple - place the pasta selected for crafts in a small unnecessary container (it’s more convenient to take a couple of bags, it’s faster to mix).

Next, you need to follow the instructions attached to the paint step by step, since it is sometimes diluted not with water, but with vinegar or ordinary alcohol. Pour the prepared solution into a container, mix well. 5-10 minutes is enough to color the pasta.

Non-standard option. Interesting, but you can color pasta with ordinary green paint. She will give them a deep shade. Dilute some greenery with water and place pasta in it. A drop will give only a slight shade.

Other non-standard materials:

nail polish;
acrylic paints;
cocoa solution;
turmeric;
paint in cans.

The choice is large.

How to paint the finished product

It is convenient to color pasta in advance, you can immediately distribute their quantity according to the required colors. Sometimes you have to paint already finished products. For example, a basket or a house glued together from shells. The classic soaking approach will not work, it is important to handle everything carefully, while maintaining the integrity of the product.

Staining options:

Manually. Take paints of the desired colors. Place the figure in front of you on a white sheet of A4. With brushes, carefully paint the craft. Try to work out all the details. Spaghetti is easier to paint, they are straight, without roughness and not ribbed.
From a can. Pasta beads, where there are small holes, are more convenient to process with a spray gun, spraying paint. Such dyes smell strongly, so it is better to work in a mask on the street. To cover any, even complex, crafts from a spray can or spray gun - universal way. Paint particles fall into all the smallest holes. The finished product then looks very bright.

How and how to glue pasta in crafts

For DIY pasta crafts, you need reliable glue. It should be invisible, so white PVA is not suitable.

Types of glue:

"Dragon", "Titan" - polymer, they are similar in properties, only different names.
"Crystal" - thick and sticky, like "Moment", but less noticeable.
Thermal gun - perfect for creating figures such as a hut, a teapot or a basket, it is hardly useful for postcards. Glues quickly (1-2 minutes is enough). They are convenient to use due to the shape, popular and inexpensive. Glues perfectly various materials including pasta.

Alternative options:

Christmas wreath

Instead of spruce or fir branches, there will be pasta of various shapes.

What will be required:

foam hoop base;
glue gun;
curly shells;
tapes;
paints;

Moreover, the main components for this lesson in any kitchen are just a lot! And if you don’t find the desired configuration, then purchasing them in the store will not hit your pocket.

Of the auxiliary materials, you only need glue, some kind of paint and a balloon to create spherical shapes.

But before proceeding to a detailed examination of specific products, you need to comprehend the basics of creating these unusual pasta crafts with your own hands. Let's get on with this!

How to stick pasta together?

Gives the best and lasting results special gun which is sold in craft stores. The glue there is silicone and is served hot, and when solidified, it forms a very dense plastic drop, which is not afraid of any shakes.

Some advise using PVA glue, but this will be a short-lived result, until the first slightest blow. Therefore, we do not recommend that you opt for something that does not guarantee good quality clutch.

After all, you want the product to please the eye not for a couple of days, but much longer? In addition, do not forget that the children will constantly touch them and show them to their friends!

In the case of a glue gun, skill is needed. The drop hardens quite quickly, so you need to have time to glue as many parts as possible in one supply of glue.

No need to drip glue from a gun directly onto the pasta! The drop comes out big enough for such small details. Just take a little glue mass with a toothpick and quickly apply it to the pasta.

How to paint pasta in different colors?

Some souvenirs require multi-colored pasta. To paint every little thing with a brush, you know, is simply impossible. And even more so if they are very small and curly in shape.

How to color DIY pasta:

1 Take the usual dye for Easter eggs.
2 Dilute it according to the instructions, remembering to add vinegar (it fixes the paint).
3 Hold a batch of blanks in the solution, stirring so that the color comes out uniform.
4 And then just lay them out on foil or newspaper to dry.

All of the above can be done in zippered food bags, as shown in the photo instructions below:

That's all, now you can make a variety of DIY crafts from these pasta.

How to color the whole pasta product?

If you want to make any pasta shape that involves a solid color, then it will be much more convenient for you to use aerosol dye.

Fast, high quality and plus a huge color spectrum! In Easter colors, you are unlikely to find gold, silver, bronze or plain white.

Acrylic paints also suitable, but only for drawing details, exclusively. You cannot cover a large amount of material with them as smoothly as you would like. In general, these paints are quite resistant and, when dried, form an indelible film.

We don't think you need to say that gouache and watercolor are not good at all. If you cover the product with them, then paint spots will remain on your hands if you just want to pick them up.

How to give a spherical shape to a pasta product?

This is very, very easy to do!

The above collage was made on the basis of photos belonging to http://masterclassy.ru.

Take a balloon of the shape you want to see a future souvenir.

For example, for a round teapot, a regular one is suitable, and for a heart on a ribbon of pasta, it is already of the same shape. There are also long, cylindrical balls, there are triangular ones. So, the scope for a flight of fancy is simply huge.

So you inflate the selected balloon and start pasting it with pasta.

Important: Do not get glue on the rubber surface.

You simply glue the pieces together and lay them on top. After the glue is definitely dry, you take a needle and bleed the air out of the balloon.

An important point: do not inflate them very tightly, because, in this case, an explosion will form during a puncture, which can completely destroy your structure.

Well, here we have dealt with the basics. Now you can choose what you would like to do. We offer you several options that will decorate the kitchen.

We picked best crafts from pasta with our own hands, in our humble opinion, of course. We hope you enjoy our selection.

Decorative jars with colored pasta

The most elementary option, where you do not need to do almost anything, is for beginners. But the result is simply amazing!

For such souvenirs you need:

Several jars of different shapes
Piece of burlap for lids
Harsh thread for bandaging caps
Egg dye
Vinegar
Pasta

How do you understand you only need paint pasta in matching colors, dry and pour into a jar. Well, cover their burlap with a lid, of course.

The only thing we can advise, then try any choose the color of pasta so that it harmonizes or with furniture, or with textiles in the kitchen.

And the rest color scheme choose for it. In this case, the containers will look harmonious.

For kids, coloring and filling these colorful jars will be fun and, most importantly, easy fun.

Pasta box

It is very easy to make such a box if you have any box of the right size. Wrap it in cling film and lay out the pasta. Of course, like any pasta product, it will be very fragile and you should not fill it with anything.

The design can be completely different, it all depends on the shape of the source material. The more openwork and carved pasta itself, the more elegant the model will come out.

The box can be made in any shape, for example, like in the picture, round. You just need to find the right foundation. And the edges can be glued satin ribbon which will add extra charm.

Pasta service

After you read how to make a samovar, such a service will seem like an easy task to you.

The technique is already familiar to you and there is nothing special about it, except for a spoon. It must be done on the basis of an ordinary tea wrapped in the same cling film.

But about the painting here is more complicated. You will first need to make all the elements that are painted white, and already on them, after painting and drying, stick a frame of golden pasta.

It is better to paint them with a spray can beforehand, laying them out individually on a tray or directly on a table covered with newspaper.

Samovars from pasta

If the previous example was just a warm-up, then this already requires skills and dexterity.

But on the other hand, the result will be simply amazing and guests will definitely be surprised to see such an element of decor and will definitely take a photo as a keepsake!

This do-it-yourself pasta craft is perhaps the most difficult option of all that are presented here.

Therefore, if you are just learning this difficult craft or want to teach a child this, immediately move on to easier crafts.

For option #1 you will need:

Round balloon
A cup
Saucer
square plank
Gold spray paint
Pasta

1 First make the base, on which you will then put the ball. That is, start designing from the bottom.

plank suitable form Wrap in foil and spread the pasta on this form. Then attach the legs. After drying, remove the product from the board and take on the rest of the details.

2 The body of the samovar itself is performed using balloon, cover too. But you can make a cup on the basis of an ordinary tea cup, wrapping it with foil in the same way as before the plank.

3 When you have assembled the base, stick on the handles, let the product dry well and cover it with gold paint.

For option #2 you will need:

three liter jar
Half liter jar
cling film
Square plank
Round plank
Gold spray paint
Pasta

Here we act in the same sequence as in the first case: from the bottom up.

The only difference between these two models - in the form of a samovar body. V this case the basis will not be a ball, but an ordinary three-liter jar.

Wrap it with cling film and glue it. Then carefully pull out, attach to the base and decorate with the rest of the small details.

The plate that stands next to it can be assembled using a ball or porcelain plate of a suitable shape, pre-wrapped with a film.

So our samovar is ready! One thing is bad, you can’t drink tea from it! =)

Photo frame decorated with pasta

Here it is, without comment. Take any frame, glue it with pasta and voila! The usual frame has turned into a kitchen one. And most importantly, no fraud, only sleight of hand and a little imagination.

In the first version, the pasta is clearly visible, but in this example in life you can’t guess what the elements are made of:

And here is a version of the children's frame, made of multi-colored pasta tubes:

But you can make not one frame, but a whole collage from the wall using several frames, not only for children, but for the whole family .. Here's how such a composition would look like:

As you can see, in addition to pasta, other kitchen provisions are also used here: beans, sweet straws, spaghetti. Coffee beans, peas and other loose ones are also perfect.

Pasta basket

A very original design, with the manufacture of the basis of which you have already familiarized yourself with the example of a samovar or a tea set.

But the handle needs to be made on the basis of ordinary cardboard: we cut out a strip of a suitable shape, do not forget to wrap it with a film and bend it into an arc. Now fix the part in this state and glue it with pasta.

After drying, simply separate the base and you will be left with a beautiful, openwork handle that needs to be attached to the basket.

Bouquet of daisies from pasta

Why not make such a cute bouquet and put it on the kitchen table? Flowers are made from round cardboard, on which pre-painted pasta is glued.

And from sweet straws make stems on which glue daisies.

Vase of openwork pasta

It would be nice to make a vase for daisies in the style corresponding to these daisies. Take as a basis any design (in the picture, the base is made of thick paper) or a balloon.

There are just a sea of options here, most importantly, do not be confused when choosing!

Pictures from pasta

The picture must first be drawn. And then already lay the fragments with pasta. In general, if you are building a picture, then try not to take pasta with too different structures, otherwise the look will come out sloppy.

It is better to keep the composition in the same style. Look at our examples, maybe you will like something. But no, so draw the motive yourself!

Any do-it-yourself pasta crafts will bring a special flavor to the design of your kitchen. After all, it looks very cute and homely.
