Rice is an excellent material for a variety of crafts: it is inexpensive, it is almost always at hand, it is painted without problems and sticks both on glue and on tape or plasticine. Moreover, interaction with rice has a beneficial effect on the development of the child.
How and how can you paint rice for crafts?
You can get colored for creativity in several ways.
- For work suits the gouache or baby finger paints. Gouache is better to take on the basis of natural components or containing natural pigments.
- The cycling will be possible and banal green.
- The desired result allows for food dyes.
- Finally, you can use such natural dyes like spinach juice and beets, saffron and turmeric.
In all of the above cases, several drops of essential oil can be added at the mixing stage and get a pleasant smell.
When painting rice gouache, the croup is scattered in several unnecessary containers, after which a thick solution of the dye and a small amount of water is added to each, allowing you to obtain a casual substance. The contents of the bowl or cup are thoroughly mixed and left in such a state for half an hour.
Excess moisture that will not be absorbed in rice, it will have to merge, and the rice themselves pour onto white paper and let dry during the day. Whether the material is ready to use, it will be possible to determine by taking it into hand: if the cereals do not dock the skin, it means that you can move to the creation of crafts. Store color rice more convenient in glass jars.
Working with green color relatively easier. A pair of a drop of a solution is added to the plastic bag with rice, which is then closed on a zipper and shakes well. Swinging the components, the cereal should be put on white paper and leave to sleep. After 15 minutes, the material will be ready for use, and even its unpleasant smell will disappear without a trace. Nevertheless, it should be remembered that the greenstone has a high sensitivity to light, and therefore bright grains will pale over time.
Working with food dyes begins with the fact that the paws are laid out in a plastic container. There are also several drops of dye, as well as half a tablespoon of vinegar. If there is only a dry dye in stock, it will have to predet a few drops of water. Boxing closes with a lid, and its content shakes until it becomes homogeneous. Then the risky is laid out on paper or food film, after which they are dried by naturally. You can also remove them in the oven and warm up for 45 minutes at 170 degrees. Saturated bright color. Such cereals will persist for a long time.
It should be mentioned that for crafts it is better to use a long white rice, characterized by hardness and durability.
In the absence of unnecessary time, it can be mixed in a rag or a gauze with a dry dye, after which it is lowered for a few seconds to boiling water. When the grains are cooled, they will need to grind a little fingers. Another unusual way of coloring requires a combination of a teaspoon of ethyl alcohol and a large amount of food dye. About 3/4 of the rice glak of rice fall asleep in the resulting mixture, and everything is mixed well. Upon completion of the cereal, it is left on the foil to dry.
How to make an applique on the topic "Autumn"?
With their own hands, children will be very interested in creating a job called "Autumn Wind". For work, in addition to rice, a dense color cardboard will be required, gouache, PVA glue, brush and several small tanks, for example, glasses. The first thing is crumpled in cups. Their number is determined depending on how many rice colors must be obtained. For autumn work, you will need at least yellow, green, red and orange shades.
In each container, the gouache of the desired color and a small amount of water are added. Its content is mixed to homogeneous color and laid on drying.
At this time, the horizon line and a simple tree with branches are drawn on a sheet of color cardboard with black gouache. The whole area under the horizon line is evenly labeled with glue and filled with color rice: for example, it can be green grass, topped with multi-colored leaves. Upon completion of the stage, the camp will need to be slightly pressed to the paper for better fixation.
Similarly, the processing and crown of the tree is carried out. At first, the space around the branches is washed with glue, and then the mixture of the remaining rice is neatly falling asleep. After formation of the crown, the grainbank will need to slightly push into the branches visible. A few droplets of glue are applied to the cardboard aside, which after the riskyins are squeezed.
The impression should arise that the leaves blow up from the tree.
How to make mushrooms?
By connecting rice with buckwheat, it will be possible to make a fairly simple applique on the theme "Mushroom". The creative process will be carried out using not only the croup, but also a sheet of dense cardboard, plasticine, corresponding to the shade of cardboard or a shade of cereals, markers or paints. Following the instructions step by step, you need to start with drawing the mushroom contour on the sheet. Further, all internal space is filled with plasticine.
If an ordinary mushroom is created, then its hat is designed to buckwheat, and the leg is long-grained rice. A magical plant can be swapped with places buckwheat with rice, and the latter is also tinted with a bright dye. Fix the grains should be accurately with a little pressing.
Feltolsters and paint will help to issue a background by making the applique of completed.
Touch boxes
The colored rice is ideal for organizing sensory boxes - developing toys that allow kids to expand the tactile experience and develop a fine motor. In the box, one or several types of croup is usually falling asleep, as well as small figures, pebbles, seashells and other little things that can be touched, digging, or explore . Sensory boxes and for an adult, and more interesting for the child thematic. For example, together with rice of blue in the transparent box, it will be able to accommodate fish from polymer clay, plastic submarines and pebbles - the sea development will be possible. In the same tank, you can build a small hill of real sand and add a variety of shells.
The box on the theme "Insects" will contain a cereal painted in a green tint, a set of rubber bugs, real twigs and several leaves cut from felt. In the Easter box, after giving a pink shade, it will be possible to add decorative elements for Easter, figurines of bunnies and chickens, plastic testicles, large beads and curly buttons.
Crafts for decor
For decorated kitchen, decorated bottles filled with rice, buckwheat, lentils, beans and other croups are often used. Rixinki can be previously repainted in a suitable shade. Beautiful container - a bottle of an unusual form or a bank - filled with different layers almost to the very top. The neck is tied to the flap of burlap and a piece of the twine or braid.
Crupes and for the design of the photo frame, and to create an unusual candlestick made of filled glass cans.
Other ideas
In general, with the help of color rice it turns out to make any image. In this case, the drawing with large elements is drawn on a white sheet of paper or cardboard, and then the individual areas alternately are labeled with a thick layer of glue and completely filled with risks of different shades. By the way, instead of glue, bilateral scotch is not reborn.
You can glue the cereal and only in some places of color cardboard. For example, it is possible to get a sputter for a donut or ice cream horn.
Crafts are very original, which are paintings from cereals on a plasticine base. Use environmentally friendly material and for decoration of a Christmas tree toy. To work in this case, acrylic varnish will be required, buckwheat with rice, brush with PVA glue, ribbons, disposable plate and plastic balls.
The bread mixture is poured into the container, and the toy is covered with a thick layer of glue. The ball is collapsed in grains until the gaps remain. Surplus gently shake, and the toy is left to sleep for about a day. At the end, the ball is covered with acrylic varnish and hangs on the Christmas tree with a ribbon.
Similarly, it turns out to decorate eggs for Easter. Each is covered with glue using a brush and falls out in a mixture of several croup. You can immediately cover the surface or fill with rice only the image pre-applied by a felt-tip pen, and the rest of the space is filled with a semi.
