Paper decorations for March 8, stencils. Openwork paper cutting: lace figure eight, master class

Hello readers and guests of the blog. Finally, the last month of winter, February, has come into its legal rights, which means that the next portion of our favorite holidays awaits us: Maslenitsa, Valentine's Day, February 23 and March 8.

So, many of us prepared for our significant other, and the female audience has already bought gifts for their beloved men. But our guys are just starting to think about the issue of gifts for lovely ladies.

Of course, it’s very simple for men, I bought a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and a cake, and the gift is ready. But it’s not so easy for our children to please and surprise their mothers, grandmothers and sisters. I don’t know about you, but I believe that from childhood a child should understand what needs to be done to please his loved ones, even with the help of an adult. After all, the main thing is attention, not the price of the surprise.

So, traditional hand-made gifts for the female half are flowers, for example, or various crafts and cards. I dedicate this collection to the latter type of creativity. After all, such a congratulation is easy, quick and very effective. I hope I will be useful to both teachers, educators, mothers, and older children.

When making such souvenirs, improvised materials are usually used, which are found in every home. And most often, plain paper and cardboard come to the rescue. And then it’s a matter of imagination and taste.

I have prepared excellent options for you, and now I will share them with you. Write what you liked the most.

It’s very cool to make a product with the whole class in the form of palms with poems, both simple and original.

Openwork figure eight made of paper. Photo

International Women's Day, which is celebrated annually on March 8, is just around the corner. The constant components of the holiday are tulips, a sea of gifts, balloons, and a rich table. And I really want to add something unusual to them that would make this Day truly special!

We offer you an original idea for decorating a banquet table for March 8 - an openwork figure eight made of paper. Such decor will undoubtedly contribute to creating an unforgettable atmosphere for a women's holiday.

To create a festive openwork figure eight you will need:

Template printed on a sheet of A4 paper;
- stationery/layout knife;
- thick cardboard/cutting mat,
- metal ruler, stapler.

Openwork eight from paper step by step:

To create a festive openwork figure eight, it is better to use light-weight paper, since the cutting will take place on two parts of the sheet at once. But if you want to create a more durable decoration, you will need to use paper of the highest density. However, in this case you need to cut it separately on each sheet. In this case, a breadboard knife was used for cutting, but you can also use a stationery knife or manicure scissors.

For festive table decor on March 8, you can choose rice paper with an unusual texture for cutting, the density of which is the same as that of simple office paper (Fig. 2).

Print the diagram so that the figure eight takes up about half of the entire sheet area.

Fold the sheet in half, as shown in Figure 3. Then staple the two halves of the sheet (Figure 4-5).

Start cutting with small parts (Figure 6-7). Then cut out the middle of the future openwork figure eight (Fig. 8).

Cut out all straight lines using a metal ruler (Figure 9). As a result, you should get two identical parts (Figure 10). After which they need to be connected together. Connect the locks first at the bottom (Figure 11-12).

Giving gifts is very nice. And they don’t necessarily have to be expensive in monetary terms. An original, hand-made, even a small souvenir can bring joy and convey your warmth. Such an unusual surprise for the holiday of March 8 could be this openwork number “eight” cut out of paper.

It can be given as a greeting card, to decorate the interior or a holiday table.

2. You can decorate our figure eight with openwork butterflies. For example, like this.

3. You need to cut out two numbers of the same size. Carefully cut out the design first.

4. Then the internal contours.

5. And finally - via external lines. You get two parts.

6. To make butterflies, you need to print their templates of the required size on white paper. Then use a stapler to attach them to yellow and green half-cardboard. And cut.

7. We connect the two blanks together, mark the places for attaching the butterflies and glue them.

8. We decorate butterflies with half beads or rhinestones.

9. Side view.

10. The lower connection is fixed well, but the upper “hooks” are constantly coming apart. This can be avoided by gluing them together. Or secure the connection with a silk ribbon by tying a bow on the “top” of our figure eight.

11. If necessary, the lower clamps can be disconnected. In this form, the openwork gift can be easily transported.

An openwork beauty, cut out of paper, assembled and dressed up!

And ready to give joy! It turned out to be festive, feminine and a little mischievous.

These are the knives used for cutting paper:

1. An ordinary stationery knife. It is advisable to break off the blade after each work. The figure eight is not difficult - you can cut it out with this knife.

2. Knife for creative work. Very convenient, good for cutting out small parts. The blade is enough for 5-6 jobs. The cap covers the blade. There are different ones.

Any woman is pleased to know that her holiday table is decorated with dignity. This openwork figure eight can be an excellent decoration for your dishes on March 8th.

Finally, our hands “reached” the openwork eight of Zulfiya Dadashova. If for some reason you still don’t have such a miracle among your paper creations, immediately start cutting it out. After all, a magnificent, airy and very feminine figure eight will be a wonderful decoration for any holiday table. For almost two years I looked closely at her and sighed. Yes, there was no time. Besides, I'm not good at cutting with a knife. And this year I decided to give it a try.

Making decorations for March 8

To make such a decoration for March 8, you will need two A4 sheets of fairly thick paper of any color, a knife or scissors for cutting and patience.

You can download the full-size printable template by clicking on the thumbnail image below.

There is no need to spend too much time fiddling with the decoration. The author has already done this. We simply print out a template stencil and cut out the small parts first, and then the large ones.

There are two ways to make an openwork figure eight. Or print the figure eight twice and cut out each piece separately (which is what I did). This is, of course, a painstaking task and takes a lot of time. Or you can, as the author recommends, fasten two sheets together with paper clips and cut out two layers at the same time with an art knife. In the second case, you will actually spend less time, but only if you have a good command of the cutting technique. Inexperienced cutters are likely to encounter an unexpected problem: the top layer is cut, but the bottom layer (especially small parts) is torn.

In my opinion, the process is not that important. The main thing is the result, and the result is two beautiful eights. The matter remains small. First, we connect the lower parts of the parts, inserting the pointed ends into the slots, and then we connect the upper hooks together. The openwork eight made of paper is ready! Of course, you can further decorate it with beads or small flowers. This is where your imagination runs wild. The main thing is not to “overload” it with decor, otherwise the decoration will lose its lightness.

Happy carving!

Women's Day is approaching, and it's time to ask yourself the question: how to surprise and please your beloved mother, teacher, sister, grandmother or godmother? To spur your imagination, check out the ideas for original flower arrangements, voluminous cards, pasta decorations, children's culinary masterpieces and something else interesting!

Paper flower arrangements

For the smallest craftsmen, making your own postcards or flower stands is suitable. We cut out circles of various diameters from colored paper, without using a stencil. We glue the circles one on top of the other in the shape of a flower, fold the flat stem, attach the flower head to the stem with tape, and connect the flowers together with a stapler. We make a pocket on the card and insert a spring bouquet into it.

Another easy-to-make flower is made from colored paper and cocktail tubes. We collect several colored flower blanks of different sizes together, put them on a tube, make cuts at its tip and open them outward.

Let's make another bouquet. We make a flower head from squares of colored double-sided paper and attach the stem. Next, the bouquet can be used for direct appliqué on a card or panel, or you can make a secret pocket inside the card and surprise your mother with an unexpected bouquet inside!

Do you love tulips? Then let's start producing them! Fold a square of double-sided colored paper into eight pieces and make cuts as shown in the diagram. We bend the tulip petals and fix them with glue. We make a round stem out of paper and fix it with glue. We make cuts on one side of the stem and attach the stem to the flower using them.

Flowers made from crepe paper turn out to be very delicate and translucent. We cut out the base and connect it to the stem, which is based on wire covered with fabric or nylon.

An unusual flower can be made from... a toilet paper roll. Why not! We bend the cardboard base, secure it with a stapler, paint it with paint and attach it to the stem.

Little Chef: Breakfast for Mom

Mom will certainly be delighted with the breakfast prepared especially for her, and moreover, if it is made in the cute and touching form of a bouquet of sunny flowers. Fry the scrambled eggs inside the cut of the pepper, garnish with green cucumbers, green beans, parsley, onions and dill, green peas or corn.

Pasta extravaganza

We make pasta decorations for mom, sister, or godmother. To do this, we select specimens with an unusual shape and texture. We paint the pasta in separate bags using acrylic paint or gouache. Dry and thread.

For variety, you can add narrow cornflake “beads”.

A frame for family photographs, decorated with colored textured pasta, beads, shells and pebbles, will long remind you of a joyful spring day.

Paper bracelet

We make an unusual decoration from paper curls and secure them with glue. We collect our beads on a thread, and the bracelet is ready!

Vytynanka on March 8

The silhouette paper cutting, beloved by many, can be successfully used in works for March 8th.

We design cards with a carved insert of flowers. To do this, draw or print a stencil, cut it out with a stationery knife or scissors, and glue it to the base.
