The idea of ​​making a bouquet of paper flowers is very good. To make paper crafts, we will need to purchase colored paper, cardboard, markers, a stationery knife, tape, scissors and PVA glue.

Paper bouquet

First you need to make three blanks for each flower, two of which should be the same color, they should have six petals.

Place one blank in front of you and glue a circle on top of it.

On the mug, first make holes for the eyes and mouth in the form of a smiley face.

After gluing the mug with the flower, you need to color the eyes with a black felt-tip pen, and then bend the petals inward.

The next step is to cut out the stem, which we then attach to the flower, and on the other side of the flower we need to attach the same blank.

You can also make leaves for the bouquet, which can be made from green paper.

First you need to draw an oval and cut it out, and then use scissors to make notches.

In order for individual pieces of paper crafts to become a single whole, tie the flowers with ribbon or some other fabric to decorate the bouquet.

This bouquet will never fade and will be an excellent decoration for your home.

Simple crafts from plastic bottles

The simplest crafts for children include bottle crafts.

For example, from a bottle you can make a piggy bank, which requires only a marker, a stationery knife, dice (4 pieces), a small bottle, glue and colored paper.

The first step is to cut a straight line, the width of which can be 5 centimeters, and the length of this line should be enough to encircle the bottle.

We draw eyes with a marker, and draw nostrils on the bottle cap. Using a utility knife, cut a hole for coins.

As legs for the pig, you need to attach the dice using glue.

Note!

This craft develops a child’s imagination and is also useful in everyday life.

Ball of thread

The craft can be used as a lampshade for a lamp or simply hung as a decoration.

A ball of thread is made very simply; to make it you will need colored threads, a ball, and transparent glue.

First, we need to inflate the balloon and tie its tip so that the air does not escape.

Then you need to wrap the inflated ball with threads, then apply glue to the surface of the ball and wait until it dries.

Note!

Now you need to separate the ball from the threads, to do this, just pierce it with a needle and the craft is ready.

Plasticine gnome and pine cones

As a simple DIY craft, you can make a gnome. For crafts you will need directly Pine cone, light-colored plasticine, pieces of fabric, glue and a brush.

First of all, the child should roll a ball out of a piece of plasticine, after which, using a brush, they need to make indentations for the nose, eyes and mouth on the ball.

At the next stage of our craft, we need to attach the resulting head to the top of the cone.

Then the child must cut out a triangle from the fabric and glue it on the sides, resulting in a cone. The cone will act as a hat for our character.

Note!

Finally, you need to make mittens from fabric, and then attach them to the pine cone using plasticine and our gnome from the pine cone is ready.

Paper bookmark

As a simple craft for kindergarten A paper bookmark is perfect. So that children can make one, simple craft they will need a pencil, ruler, colored paper, scissors and glue.

To begin, children must draw a square measuring 20 by 20 centimeters.

Then divide the resulting square into 4 equal parts using a pencil and ruler, resulting in 4 squares measuring 5 by 5 centimeters.

The second step is to divide the upper right and lower left squares in such a way as to obtain triangles, that is, you need to draw a line diagonally from the upper corner to the lower corner.

We don't need the triangles with the outside and can cross them out.

Then you need to cut out a figure from paper without taking into account the crossed out triangles.

The top triangle needs to be trimmed. If everything is done correctly, the paper will be in the shape of a diamond, to which two triangles are glued.

The next step is to fold all the triangles in half, and then one by one place them on the tip of the rhombus. You should end up with a pocket that fits over the tip of the book page.

To make a bookmark original, you can advise children to cut out some kind of applique from colored paper.

What is better to choose to create a website yourself – a website builder or a CMS? The answer is clear: website builder only. Why? It's simple: if you need this kind of advice, it means you either have no development experience or less than is necessary to solve your problem. Dancing with a tambourine around installing a CMS and searching for hosting will take a lot of time and money - but you won’t get the desired result. Most likely you need create one site one time for yourself - a small business card for a business, a platform for providing services, a portfolio or perhaps a blog, a small store for several dozen or hundreds of products. Designers help solve such problems in the most rational way. Both in terms of money and in terms of investing time, labor and receiving return benefits.

Each of them is functionally advanced compared to its analogues. You can safely use it, all that remains is to decide which one to choose.

1.1 Creating a website on uKit → detailed overview

1.2 Creating a website on Wix → detailed overview

Wix allows you to create impressive business card sites, landing pages, blogs, and stores. The platform will produce a cozy portfolio or a damn attractive corporate website in a couple of hours of work. The system has many interesting widgets. In addition to the standard gentleman's set, there is a video insertion into the background, different types menu, various effects, etc. It's easy to create a spectacular website on Wix. Another thing is that an overloaded page can lag and be terribly slow, which is what many users complain about. Beauty requires sacrifice, there needs to be a balance.

If it were not for the cost of paid plans, Wix would be an ideal solution for the entire audience of novice users. But, alas, for this money many will prefer something more practical. Wix is ​​a wow effect builder. He is pleasant, bright, friendly, but expensive by the standards of his competitors. The average “Combo” tariff will cost $99/year. There are 2 more expensive ones.

Wix offers five premium plans:

1. "Connect Domain" ($5.95/month or $49/year)- the ability to connect your domain, receive premium technical support and 500 MB of disk space, but does not remove Wix ads;

Still, Wix is ​​perhaps the most visually striking engine with a visual editor. More than worth the money, taking into account the discount. And even without it, it doesn’t lose much of its attractiveness.

1.3 Website creation on uCoz → detailed review

All the power of uCoz is hidden in a solid set of modules and the ability to edit the source code of pages (html, css, php, js). There are a lot of settings, but most beginners will find no more than a third useful/understandable. The rest is for growth. You can define a set of modules yourself.

Users who are looking for where to create an online store will rejoice the loudest. In this field, uCoz is omnipotent, thanks to the “Online Store” module (the so-called uShop). Among the necessary things, there is even synchronization with the accounting products of the 1C company. Import from CSV and YML will allow you to export products from a file or parse them from AliExpress/Yandex.Market. This will allow you to quickly fill your own stores and deploy partner stores from the specified sites. Thanks to subagents, you can create a real supermarket in which other sellers will sell their goods, and the store owner will receive a percentage from them.

In an online store based on uCoz, you can sell any type of goods: material, electronic, product-file, product as a service. Set discounts, promotions, markups, set options (color, size, quantity), use a delivery cost calculator. Many of the most different ways payment and delivery. There are a whole bunch of different fine settings, in general, it’s impossible to list all the variety.

Separately, it should be noted that the system is beneficial for those who need to create a website for a government agency. Besides the fact that you can use it for free, there is another interesting nuance. There is a law according to which such resources are required to have a version for the visually impaired. In uCoz, this version can be enabled in one click. For non-profit and educational websites, Yukoz is an ideal choice in all respects. Plus, educational sites can remove advertising for free upon request to technical support.

Connecting to a paid tariff can make life easier. First of all, the disappearance of the system’s advertising banner ( advertising is displayed only on sites created free of charge). Premium user status will allow you to make the most of additional uCoz features without restrictions. The loyalty program will allow you to get any tariff with a 50% discount during the first 48 hours when creating a new website. Plus, you can receive a free domain and a premium template of your choice (if you subscribe for a year starting from “Optimal”).

There are five service packages available on uCoz:

1. “Minimum” ($2.99/month or $28/year)- decreased advertising banner, +1 GB of space, antivirus, Yandex.Feeds module.
2. “Basic” ($5.99/month or $57/year)- no advertising, 2 GB of space, 1 call to premium support, auto-backup of data once every 2 weeks.
3. “Optimal” ($7.99/month or $76/year)- 10 GB of space, 2 calls to technical support, premium antivirus, free premium template and domain when paying annually.
4. “Store” ($9.99/month or $95/year)- 10 GB of space and full functionality for an online store.
5. “Maximum” ($15.99/month or $153/year)- 20 GB of space, live chat with technical support, auto-reservation every 3 days.

The uCoz web service is equally suitable for beginners, professionals and web studios. A large selection of free and professional premium templates, universal functionality, a million additional functions, user-friendly admin panel and low cost (or the complete absence of it in the Free plan). After using it, most engines will seem dull and limited. Start your journey with Yukoz and you will no longer need other tools in the future. You will be able to solve any problems without going beyond its limits. An engine for all occasions.

2. Order “turnkey” or do it yourself?

For a CMS, you will definitely need to purchase hosting, a domain and related website components (optional - template, plugins). In general, in any case, you need to invest at least the cost of a domain or the minimum tariff of the selected designer (about $4-8/month) in creating a website. No other way.

3. Creating a website in a notepad. Is this really possible?

Purely theoretically this is possible. Moreover, on the Internet you can find many ancient web pages created by hand using a notepad. But such a “site” with its appearance will evoke nostalgia for the dashing 90s. Nowadays, it is unlikely that anyone in their right mind would be delighted with such a site.

So creating a website in a notepad is archaic and a relic of the past. Nobody does that anymore. Creating simple pages in Notepad was previously used to teach HTML in various courses. No more.

In terms of money, it is best to create a website yourself. This is technically a little more complicated than ordering it from a developer. But it will cost several times less, and you will have a clear understanding of what works and how, saving on further maintenance or modifications.

In the shop for craftswomen

You can make interesting things with your own hands using special material that is sold in any craft store. This can be yarn, a base for embroidery with a pattern, special paper, etc. This material is intended for practicing certain types of needlework: macrame, patchwork, decoupage, quilling, etc. Knowing the basics of work in this area, you can perform unusual crafts. A master class on this type of activity is presented below.

Collecting shreds

Patchwork (translated from English means “working with patchwork”) has become an interesting and very popular type of needlework lately. From fabric scraps, skilled needlewomen create real masterpieces of art: blankets, rugs, carpets and even curtains. In order for the work to be truly high-quality, it is necessary to select fabrics that are similar in texture. It is also desirable that the pattern of the patches be in harmony with each other. It is necessary to cut pieces of fabric taking into account allowances - from 0.5 to 1 cm. The material is cut along the grain thread. Pre-wash and iron the fabric to prevent shrinkage. The material can only be drawn with soap, pencil or chalk, but not with a pen - there is a risk of marks appearing on the front of the product.

Blanket “Spring mood”

For production you need to prepare:

• fabric in green, pink, yellow, orange and blue;
• soap, chalk or pencil, ruler;
• template - square 6 x 6 cm, rectangles 24 x 6 and 12 x 6 cm;
• scissors;
• sewing machine;
• a piece of fabric 111 x 83 cm (for the wrong side of the product);
• padding polyester

Prepare the fabric: wash, dry and iron. Place the prepared cardboard templates on the material. Cut out 12 pink, blue, green and yellow squares, leaving a 1 cm allowance. In addition, you will need 60 squares of the same size, but different colors. You will use them to cover the perimeter of the blanket. Prepare 24 strips 24 cm long and 6 cm wide from different fabrics and 24 strips 12 cm long of the same width.

Let's start stitching: take 4 6 cm squares of different colors and sew them together. Then sew 4 strips of the same color around the perimeter of the resulting product: 2 short ones on the sides, 2 long ones on the top and bottom. Collect all other squares in the same way. Sew the resulting products together. You should end up with 4 large squares in length and 3 in width.

The next stage is sewing squares (60 pieces set aside) around the perimeter of the blanket. The order of their arrangement by color depends entirely on your imagination. Now you need to sew fabric measuring 83 x 111 cm (3 cm per allowance) to the blanket. The two sides must be connected with the front side facing inward. After you have sewn 3 sides, turn the product inside out and stuff it with padding polyester. Then carefully join the 4th edge (either by machine or by hand). A soft and beautiful blanket is ready!

You can do blankets the same way. Creative things (with your own hands), photos of which are presented in this article, bring warmth and comfort! Try them yourself.

Crafts... made from food

You can even make things for your home from food: various cereals, pasta, dough and even sweets. With a little imagination, you can make paintings, pendants, and even watches! Buckwheat or rice should be glued with PVA glue onto a pre-prepared template. The cereal can be painted - and the picture will sparkle with all its colors. Involve your child in work - this will help him develop fine motor skills hands and imaginative thinking. In order to create, you can use coffee beans. You can also make other interesting things with your own hands from this material, for example, a gorgeous bonsai tree that will delight you with its original look you and those around you.

A piece of the East

To create a bonsai tree you will need:

• balloon;
• PVA glue;
• brown threads (slightly thicker than nylon);
• thick branch;
• flower pot;
• pebbles

The balloon must be tightly wrapped with a thread soaked in glue and set aside. The workpiece must dry for at least 4-5 hours. Next, the balloon needs to be punctured and carefully removed. On the remaining base, planted on the prepared branch, you need to glue coffee beans. The branch should be strengthened in a flower pot using pebbles. The beautiful tree is ready!

How to make a metal detector at home

How to make a sensitive metal detector with your own hands and what circuit of this device is most popular among craftsmen? Metal detectors are electronic induction devices, the main task of which is to detect metal objects located in a neutral or weakly conducting environment - such as soil, water, walls, wood.

The device has a search coil, in which, when turned on, an electromagnetic field is generated that spreads around. With its help you can explore the ground, stones, water, trees and air. The electromagnetic field created by the search coil contributes to the formation of eddy currents on the surface of metals that fall within the range of the device.

If eddy currents occur, the metal object's own counter electromagnetic field is created, which reduces the power of the electromagnetic field created by the search coil. This is recorded by the electronic circuit of the device. After processing the received information, the metal detector sends a signal that a metal object has been detected.
