How to make a craft on the theme of May 1st. DIY spring crafts

Postcards and appliqués are the first thing that comes to mind and you’re probably already tired of them. It's worth trying less common options! For example, refrigerator magnets.

Nowadays it's fashionable to cover it with panels, so make sure the recipient has somewhere to hang the magnet. As a last resort - use a hood or a battery!

In the very simple version for May Day crafts you will need:

Magnet (sold in stationery and art supplies),
Double sided tape,
Cardboard (white for details and colored for background, or can be painted),
Paints,
PVA glue,
Scissors.

Cut out a round base from cardboard - it looks more elegant and will not fray like a square one. If necessary, apply a background, decorate with sparkles or beads if desired.
Come up with a picture and composition - for example, below is the inscription “Happy May 1st!”, above is a bouquet of balloons and small stars.
Cut out the parts of the future magnet from the remaining cardboard, paint in required colors, dry for an hour and a half.
Glue the pictures onto the round base and dry it a little more. Glue the magnet to the back side with double-sided tape.

Crafts in the form of magnets can be made from anything - even painted acrylic paints a piece of glass, a saucer or a pebble. Only in this case you will have to buy a larger magnet and glue it with Moment glue so that the craft does not fall off the refrigerator.

Flower vase for May Day

Great gift for my grandmother, who still respects the May 1st holiday, a hand-decorated flower vase. You need:

Regular glass vase or bank
Semolina or other small grains,
Alcohol,
Acrylic paints,
PVA glue,
Colorless furniture varnish or nail polish.

Lay oilcloth or newspaper on the table, sprinkle the cereal in an even layer. Instead of semolina, you can take, for example, fashionable couscous or quinoa.
Degrease the vase or jar with alcohol or vodka and coat with glue.
Roll the container over the cereal to completely cover it in an even layer. The location of the grains can be corrected with a toothpick or a needle.
Draw a simple plot with paints (you can remember the hammer and sickle or use flowers), write a congratulation. Instead of paints, you can use fabric markers.
Dry the craft for half an hour, then varnish and leave for another hour. To make it more elegant, you can take pearl or colored nail polish and apply it to the areas with the May Day design.

Beautiful crafts for you and happy Holidays!

IN in social networks A popular idea is to take some animated character and congratulate with inscriptions on his behalf. Most often, this character becomes Masha from the animated series “Masha and the Bear” or angry birds, whose job is to fly and scatter pigs.

Simple rhymes are in demand as inscriptions on postcards:

“Glorious May Day: eat kebab and relax,”
“May Day: mow and slaughter” (remember the coat of arms of the USSR - the hammer and sickle),
endless variations with “pour”, “sing”, “wash down”, etc.

And also common phrases like:

“Work is not a wolf, but the product of force and distance,”
“Labor made a man out of a monkey. The main thing is that he doesn’t make a horse out of a man,”
“The work won’t do itself, but the tea won’t drink itself.”

You can rename the holiday itself to the day of barbecue, hacienda or spring and rest.

A great theme for a postcard is May Day. IN Soviet time it was a continuation of the celebration of May 2, when people went to the dacha, to barbecue, or both there and there at once. Now this word is more associated with the May demonstration itself, and you can come up with a lot of rhymes for it: from “cooking” (kebabs) to “kraev-ka” (pour).

Soviet-style May Day cards are also very popular. You can take one of the many propaganda posters and come up with something to go with it. new inscription, or you can draw your own “poster”, inspired by these samples. For example, depict the outline of a recognizable worker who drinks something from a bottle, and sign: “Let every proletarian remember: what he himself did not drink, the enemy will drink!”

Beautiful cards for May Day

If we ignore the funny, then on Spring and Labor Day you can give any ordinary postcards with flowers, the sun and other spring things (or draw them yourself). The slogan “peace, labor, may” is somewhat outdated from Soviet times, but it may be nice for the older generation to remember.

The only thing is that you shouldn’t give postcards for May 1 with ready-made poems. Firstly, these “poems” are usually far from perfect. Secondly, a ready-made typographical congratulation will never replace even banal, but handwritten “happiness and health.”

May Day may not be the national holiday it used to be, but it’s still a great reason to create crafts with children. Let's do a little hard work on Spring and Labor Day!

"Balloon"

The first day has arrived

May has arrived today.

My ball is knocking glass:

“Well then, let me out!”

And so I untied the thread.

Previously, the May Day holiday was called International Workers' Day. On this day, adults and children went to a demonstration. Adults carried banners, flags and flowers in their hands, and children had small flags and colorful balloons in their hands. Everyone was happy about spring and the warm rays of the sun.

It was customary to send congratulatory messages by mail to friends and relatives. postcards, wish them health and happiness. After 1990, International Workers' Day was renamed Spring and Labor Day.

To this wonderful spring holiday we did it with the kids postcard. Today Lenya helped me. And we offer you our Master Class.

For we will need postcards: colored paper, felt-tip pens, scissors, glue, a simple pencil, templates for a ball, dove, circle and cutting for carnations, white napkins.

Choose colored paper and trace the balls according to the template.

Cut out the circled balls.

Let's draw a circle on red paper.

Let's cut it out and fold it like this.

Let's outline felt-tip pen cloves and cut them out.

Let's trace and cut out the cutting.

For the background Lenya chose colored paper blue color. Using the template, we outline the dove in the lower right corner.

We place multi-colored balloons on the background and glue them.

White napkins were cut into small squares. We make balls out of them.

Lubricate the outline of the dove with glue.

Glue the balls and draw an eye for the dove.

Place and glue a carnation in the lower left corner. It will be a little bulky. This is what we got.
