Children begin to get acquainted with this type of needlework as appliqué as early as kindergarten. For a child, this is not just a way to develop fine motor skills - this is how the child gets to know the world and himself in this world, learns to develop his abilities.

Doing something with your own hands is always pleasant and interesting. When you want to do something unusual and quite bright with your own hands, as well as spend quality time with your child, then a great idea would be to knit your own pattern from wool threads.

There's no denying that creating this kind of yarn applique is quite exciting and fun. A little patience, imagination and tools are all that is required for this craft.

The first thing to say is that the skill of drawing with threads is usually called threadography. This technique was invented quite a long time ago by the Indian Huichol people, who lived in the western and central parts of Mexico. Their main craft was weaving and embroidery, so it was they who stood at the origins of thread printing. The first works in this style were made from spun wool, since it was the most accessible material for this people.

If you take seriously the creation of a picture from threads, you can have a great time and learn something new, but also make a great gift for friends or family. People who might call themselves impatient will be happy to try appliqués from knitting threads because it is Nitography is an excellent endurance training.

Main types of crafts made from threads

Exists several main types of applications:

• standard thread applique;
• iso-thread using small nails and, of course, threads;

In this article we will analyze each of the above-described species using the example of dandelion and kitten.

As mentioned earlier, creating thread appliques is great for both children and adults. The situation is such that what more people engages in this craft, the more his endurance and imagination are trained. And this, as we know, is perfect for any person. Moreover, by doing this you can not only improve yourself, but also make an excellent interior element or gift.

Standard method of applique with threads of different lengths

If you follow the statements of experienced needlewomen who know their craft, you can be convinced that drawing with threads is so easy and interesting that it can give odds to standard drawing with pencils. Creating crafts using templates with cats or dandelions is perfect for children; you can draw a stencil with your child, or find and download it on the Internet.

The first step is to prepare all the tools, which may be useful in this method, namely:

• the base on which the design will be applied (a sheet of fiberboard is best suited);
• the frame in which the finished painting will be placed;
• PVA glue or any other durable glue of your choice;
• brush, as well as cotton swabs;
• pencil for sketching (simple);
• scissors;

And, of course, as many threads as possible. Which threads to choose is not so important. Depends on the desire of the creator. Most often, when working with children they use wool threads.

Once all the tools are prepared, you can begin. First of all, you need to draw a sketch of the future drawing with a pencil. For the first time, dandelion or kitten are perfect.

The next step is to select the thread colors that are most suitable for the selected pattern. It is also important to know the following: if you are a beginner, it is best not to use shaggy or curly threads. Of course, they make more interesting drawings, but they are difficult to work with. Therefore, leave them for more experienced times.

When all preparatory work finished, grab the glue and scissors and start creating. Apply glue to a brush or cotton swab and draw a line of glue on the base strictly along the contour. After this, press the threads to the canvas with your finger. First lay the material along the contour, then inside and outside.

At this stage it is very important to place the threads correctly on the base, pressing them tightly enough together and avoiding any voids. If this technique will be ignored, the final drawing will be, to put it mildly, weak.

Once done, leave the image to dry for several hours. Once you are sure that the glue is completely dry and the materials lie tightly enough on the canvas, you can steam the whole thing using an iron. This will help the threads become smoother and more beautiful.

By the way, in the future you can vacuum the painting without any problems without fear for your work.

Method involving the use of nails

As you might have guessed from the name, this method involves a radically different technique for creating a drawing. So we will need following tools:

• again, the base (wooden sheet or wall);
• threads and scissors;
• small nails and a hammer;

In general, this method is much easier than the standard one. The main thing is to understand the essence of this technique and understand its implementation, after which you can create your own crafts without any problems. Let us remind you that it is best to train on light drawings: dandelions and cats.

APPLICATION FROM THREAD. MASTER CLASS.

The technique of drawing with threads is called threadography. Drawing with threads is the same as drawing with a felt-tip pen, only the line needs to be glued to the base.

We take a very thick sheet of cardboard or, even better, a sheet of fiberboard and put a drawing of our future cat on it.
We select threads. Special meaning We add the color scheme to the future work. You can use any thread: leftover yarn for knitting is quite suitable, acrylic thread bright colors will fit very well, floss in several folds will also work, the main thing is that the threads are approximately the same thickness.
For beginners, you should not use threads with a non-smooth structure. Threads that are too shaggy or curly can produce wonderful effects, but are more difficult to work with.

When the threads are selected, take glue, scissors and a toothpick - this will be our simple tool.
I use construction glue for gluing foam baseboards.
You can use any polymer waterproof glue, there are many types, and I advise you to choose less odorous ones.
If you are making pussy with small children, you should carefully read the instructions about ventilating the room on the bottle of glue you choose.

We spread the glue on the line on the cardboard; to spread the glue in a thin layer, use a toothpick or any thin stick. A brush is not suitable for this. In the future, it is convenient to spread glue with a stick into hard-to-reach places between the glued threads.
Glue the thread onto the wet glue. We press it gradually with our fingers, laying it out according to the pattern. We cut off the end of the thread with scissors after gluing it to the place where a sharp, impossible turn of the thread is required, or when a different color is needed.

First we glue along the contour of the large pattern, then we fill the space inside. And for small parts, on the contrary, first inside, then along the contour.

We glue the threads as tightly as possible to each other so that there are no gaps left, then your work will be of high quality and beautiful.

When we glue a cat part, we are absolutely sure that it will be exactly the color we decided on. But if after the sticker we definitely decided that it should be a different color, and this color does not suit it at all, then we thank the creators of multi-layer thick cardboard or fiberboard, which we took as a basis.

Let's see how I made the red tongue orange in the middle. Using a paper knife, I cut along the desired contour the surface whose color I want to change, and tear it away from the work along with top layer paper. And in this place I glue threads of a different desired color. In this work, therefore, I changed not only the color of the tongue, but also the color of the pussy's muzzle. This operation can be repeated several times until the cardboard layer becomes completely thin.

Our glue sticks tightly, holds well, and won’t come off without the top layer of paper. But even with further use of the work, you can vacuum it, wash it with a damp sponge and soap, and not be afraid that the threads will fly off.

When making the edge of the work, you should not trim each thread separately. This won't save much material. You can extend the threads beyond the boundaries of the work, and then cut them immediately with a whole line. These shaggy edges of our work are easily hidden in a frame under a baguette.

And, finally, a little secret: if you steam the finished work with an iron through a wet rag or gauze, the threads will press together and look smoother.
Good luck with your creativity!

Instructions for making the sun applique.

We take one of the child’s favorite books and look at the pictures.

We select a simple and cute picture with the sun. We draw the sun on cardboard and begin to cut the threads of the required length and paste them onto the picture, as if painting it. Gluing one thread after another, we gradually fill the entire drawing. We make rays from longer threads. Glue buttons or beads. These are the eyes. Using red thread we draw a mouth. The sun is smiling!

How to make an applique with an image of a cat?

Let's consider a more complex application. It's a cat. For such work you need to prepare templates. Below are both the template and the finished application.

To complete this application you need to stock up on the following materials:

• cardboard or paper for the base;
• glue;
• scissors;
• brush;
• threads;

First, you need to prepare the threads. They need to be cut. As in the previous example, we will cut woolen threads. This should be done over a plate so that the threads do not fall apart. We glue the outline with a dark thread. Cover the entire template with glue. Glue the cut threads without going beyond the outline. To make the cat prettier and more like a real one, she needs to make eyes out of buttons, and use dark threads (the same ones that made the outline) to highlight her mouth. When the work is dry, you need to shake it off to get rid of threads that did not stick. Work is done. You can admire it.

Amazing material, threads, how many things can be made from them. Woolen threads are used to knit clothes, weave carpets, and embroider pictures. There is another use for leftover knitting threads.

Now preparing the “paints”. You need to take a thread, fold it several times and cut it into pieces half a centimeter long. You need to cut the threads over a plate or bowl. Each color should have its own capacity. This activity is very useful for children. It develops hand motor skills well. The photo below shows what it looks like.

Here are the threads cut and arranged by color. Now it's time to start sketching. On a sheet of white paper you need to draw a rowan branch with a simple pencil. For example, the teacher shows the children a picture of a rowan and draws it himself. Children repeat after the teacher. This should not be difficult for them since they have already drawn trees many times in art lessons.

When the diagram is ready, you can begin making the applique itself from cut threads. First of all, you need to mark the outline, as in the picture

Then take a brush and apply glue to the leaves. The glue must be applied evenly in a thick layer so that the threads stick well. We fill the leaves with threads, as if painting them.

We twist a circle from a red thread about five centimeters long. This will be a rowan berry. We stick it in the desired place, which is previously covered with glue. This is shown below:

The threads need to be pressed well and left to dry for a couple of hours.

After drying, the work needs to be shaken slightly to get rid of unadhered threads.

The product is ready. It can be framed and hung on the wall.
