There are probably no children who don’t love Kinder Surprise. And, of course, there are no parents who don’t love their kids. To please your child, you can make a big Kinder surprise on occasion, or even just like that, in today’s paper master class.
We create a big Kinder surprise out of paper with our own hands
To work you will need brushes, paints, water, a lot of newspapers and white A4 paper, a bowl, stencils with letters or a printout with the inscription “Kinder Surprise”. You also need PVA glue (you can use paste instead of glue, but it is inconvenient to cook and it is more difficult to work with). A large one will also come in handy balloon.
It should be strong and elastic; a helium balloon works well. We will work using the papier-mâché technique, so you should prepare workplace, covering it with newspapers or oilcloth.
Stages of work.
- Inflate the balloon to the size you want to make the kinder. Tie the ponytail tightly. If you tie it too tightly, you will have to pierce the ball at the end of the work.
- We tear the paper into pieces, and after dipping it a little in water, apply it to the ball. Cover the entire first layer evenly so that there are no empty spaces left. At this stage, it is better to use regular newspapers - they are softer to work with and will not peel off immediately.
- Now take a brush and dip it in glue. We carefully brush over the first layer of paper, thoroughly coating all areas. It is worth noting that it is best to choose a brush made of artificial fibers, soft enough, but elastic - this will pick up glue well, but will not tear wet paper.
- Now we again apply pieces of paper, now white, to the surface of the ball.
- We repeat the steps described above 3-4 times. Not worth it anymore. If you heavily saturate the paper with glue, it will take a long time to dry. And when it dries, it can warp and become ugly.
- We leave our workpiece to dry for the day. To do this, you can hang it by a string from a ball. We carefully check with our hands whether the outer layer of glue is dry. You should cover it with paper so that there is a small gap at the tail of the ball, so that later you can lower the ball and take it out.
- These steps can be repeated 3-4 times. So you can make a large kinder with your own hands.
- When a sufficient number of layers have been applied, carefully untie the ball and remove it from the workpiece. Repeat the steps again to seal the hole.
- Let's start sanding. This stage can be omitted, but if you smooth out all the corners, the kinder will be just like a real one - even and smooth.
- We take the finest sandpaper and carefully work the entire surface of the toy in a circular motion. This should be done without strong pressure, so as not to tear many layers of paper. We repeat just enough to erase the existing transitions between the sheets of paper.
- Using a cloth, we wipe the dust formed during sanding from the workpiece, and cover our egg with a layer of glue. Let it dry.
- When the glue has dried, we paint our future kinder surprise in White color. For work, you can use gouache paints - they are not harmful to the child. In the lower part (this is the opposite part of the part where the tail of the ball was. It is wider, like in a real egg.) We draw a pattern in red, as in a real toy. You can do this right away with paint, you can use a stencil, or first draw a wavy line with a pencil, and then carefully fill it with color.
- Let's start coloring the inscription. You can take a printed blank. In this case, simply glue it to the workpiece. It will also look good if you cut out the letters from the printout and glue the inscription. If you have a stencil, use it. Trace the letters, forming an inscription, directly on the workpiece, and color them with paints.
- The final stage. Cover the resulting egg with a layer of varnish from a can, so the paints will not flow and will not stain your hands (gouache paints are prone to crumbling and will smear when touched, and watercolors do not provide such a rich and dense covering layer).
- The toy is ready! You don't have to remove the ball, this will allow you to hang the toy. If you get the ball, just put the resulting kinder on the floor.
- To fill the toy with surprises, do not seal the hole from the ball. Instead, make a small cut to put candy or gifts inside, and then seal it.
The master class described in the article is very clear. This craft can be made by an adult, or you can involve a child in making it. It is easy to hide small gifts, sweets, and holiday souvenirs in the resulting toy.
Video tutorials on making kinder
It’s not difficult to understand how to make a big kinder surprise with your own hands. It is enough to carefully study the instructions and work slowly. The simplest option is an egg made using the papier-mâché technique, filled with a variety of sweets and toys.
Tools and materials
An egg using the papier-mâché technique is durable. It can be used as reusable packaging for any gifts: sweets, other sweets, toys. An original solution is to fill a homemade egg with real Kinder surprises.
To work you will need:
- scissors;
- balloon;
- thin paper (writing, cigarette, newspaper);
- PVA glue;
- gouache;
- printed inscriptions for registration;
- threads;
- brush;
- water container.
The inscriptions that will be used to decorate the finished eggs are printed on a printer using ready-made templates from the Internet. You can complicate the task by making the surprise personalized.
Master class for beginners
- Inflate the balloon; it should take the shape of an egg. Tie the neck tightly with a thick thread to prevent air from escaping. Place the ball in a bowl suitable size for greater stability.
- Cut the paper into small pieces of arbitrary shape. The main thickness of the product can be created using newspapers, but the top paper layer should be white.
- Wet the pieces in water one by one and apply them to the surface. inflated balloon. This must be done quickly, otherwise the paper will not stick together.
- After applying the first layer, let it dry for a few minutes. Coat the surface of the egg with glue. The thicker the coating, the stronger the finished egg will be.
- Glue the second layer of paper, trying to distribute the paper pieces evenly. Cover them with glue and leave to dry for several hours.
- When the egg is dry, glue another 1 or 2 layers of paper. The thickness of the egg depends on the gifts inside. The heavier the filling, the more durable the packaging should be.
- Cut off the lower part of the ball with thread, seal the resulting hole with paper.
- Color the egg with gouache mixed with a small amount PVA glue. Take a real Kinder Surprise as an example. Glue the printed inscriptions.
- Cut a rectangular window in the back and fill the egg with gifts. Glue the resulting door or tie it with tape.
The finished egg can be packaged in transparent cellophane: the gift will look even more festive. All that remains is to present a surprise to the child and enjoy his delight.
All children love Kinder Surprise eggs. And, most likely, not because they are sweet, but precisely because of the surprise that is hidden inside. After all, it is always so exciting to open the package, eagerly getting to the toy to find out what will be there this time. What about children! Many adults look at these chocolates with curiosity and would not mind unpacking a couple of them themselves.
And if such a “Kinder” is not standard sizes, which are on store shelves, but much more? The child's delight will know no bounds. In addition, you can put anything inside: your favorite toys, a wide variety of sweets. This is a great option for holiday gift.
You can make such a surprise with your own hands. It's not difficult at all, especially if you know all the secrets and subtleties. The egg is made from paper using the technique, or rather mashing. In addition, you can make this one personalized, which will be doubly pleasant.
Necessary materials
During the work you will need:- - balloon;
- - paper;
- - scissors;
- - paints;
- - printed inscriptions (color or black and white);
- - brush;
- - water;
- - PVA glue.
Stages of work
So, let's start making Kinder Surprise. It should be borne in mind that although this work is not difficult and even beginners who have never worked with papier-mâché can do it, it will take a lot of time. About 4-5 days. Since you will need to dry all the layers of paper well so that the testicle does not become deformed later. Therefore, you need to start not on the eve of the celebration, but a little earlier. We will make Kinder in this order.1. Inflate the balloon. Tie tightly with thread. Leave the thread longer and do not cut it short. We will still need it.
2. Cut out the inscription “Kinder Surprise”, each word separately. If you have a color printer, you can immediately print the letters in color. If not, take black and white ones and color them yourself. You can also print the name of the child or the person you will give the gift to. We also carefully cut it out.
3. Cut the paper into small squares. Approximately 2x2 cm.
Advice: During the work I realized that better paper tear with your hands. So the edges are thinner and then the joints are not so noticeable.
4. Glue the first layer of paper to the ball using ordinary water. Place the prepared pieces of leaf in a bowl of water. Apply one piece of paper to the ball with a slight overlap. For convenience, you can place the ball in a mug or jar with the “tail” down. Cover the entire ball with paper, leaving only its tip uncovered. The ball will then need to be removed through this hole.
5. While the paper is still wet, we immediately begin applying the second layer. Here you will already need PVA glue. It will saturate the paper well, and it will become an excellent solid base for Kinder. Grease the prepared pieces of sheet generously with PVA and apply in the same way, overlapping. You can use a brush, but it's easier to do it with your hands. You should try to smooth out the resulting wrinkles as much as possible.
6. Leave the workpiece to dry, hanging it by the thread with which the ball is tied. It should dry completely. This will take a night, or maybe even a day. During the drying process, the PVA is slightly deformed, but this is not critical.
7. When the first layer has dried, we begin to apply the second. To reduce the cost and simplify the process, you can use not only A4 sheets, but also any other paper: toilet paper, napkins, paper towels. The inner layers will not be visible, and with the help of a soft material it will be possible to correct the resulting irregularities, and it will be more convenient to work with it.
Advice: It is better not to use newspapers and printed materials. The paint will get wet and then bleed through the top layers. And this can ruin all the work.
It is now better to replace PVA glue with flour paste. Working with him is much easier and more convenient. It doesn't stick to your hands, but glues perfectly. You need to take the paper, generously coat it with paste with your hands, overlap it and smooth everything over the top.
Paste recipe:
- - 2 tablespoons of flour,
- - 200 ml of water.
You can store the flour paste in the refrigerator. It does not lose its adhesive properties for 3 days. But it’s easier to cook fresh every time. It's a matter of five minutes.
8. Hang the egg up to dry again. When the third layer is dry, apply the fourth layer in the same way and dry again. In total, it is better to make at least 4-5 layers so that the Kinder ultimately holds its shape and does not sag under the weight of the gifts inside it. The last layer should be made of white paper.
9. When the last layer of papier-mâché has completely dried, remove the ball. Just hold it by the “tail” and cut it with scissors. It deflates and is easily separated from the paper.
10. Seal the hole remaining on top. To do this, cut out two oblong strips of white paper and several squares. First, glue the strips crosswise with PVA glue, forming the top of the egg. When they dry, close the hole tightly, in several layers, with squares of paper. Leave to dry.
11. It’s time to decorate the blank. We paint the inscriptions. This can be done with paints, felt-tip pens or pencils.
12. Use a simple pencil to mark the egg. Carefully glue the inscriptions with glue, smoothing out any irregularities.
13. Color "Kinder". The lower part is red, and the upper part is white. The top definitely needs to be painted. This way it will be smoother and brighter. White paint can be mixed with PVA glue. Gouache is more suitable for work, but if you don’t have it, then you can use watercolor.
14. When the paint has dried, cut a hole in the back in the form of a window through which the egg will be filled. This can be done with a blade or a utility knife.
Advice: You can also fill the surprise through the hole at the top, which remains after removing the ball. But it needs to be cut, since large sweets and toys still won’t fit through. Then it will hardly be possible to tape it all up neatly and unnoticeably. And while painting, all the contents will dangle inside, which is not very convenient. And the hole cut in the back can be opened and closed at any time. It looks normal, and it’s easier for the child to get the contents out later (there’s no need to tear the Kinder apart, but you can play with it later).
All. Kinder Surprise is ready. This is how easy it is to surprise a child or an adult. Make your dream come true or just arrange it fun party, filled with love.
There are probably no children who don’t love Kinder Surprises or don’t know what it is. The mere sight of this sweet delights the baby. Of course, the combination of delicious chocolate with a toy is a perfect match for every child’s interests. During major holidays such as New Year or Easter, Kinder Surprises produces treats bigger size limited editions. Of course, every child dreams of this. However, every needlewoman has a chance to cause a simply unrealistic storm of emotions by making a large Kinder Surprise from paper with her own hands.
Mastering the technique of performance
The technique for making such a gift is very simple - papier-mâché, which translates as “chewed paper”. Like most paper art, papier-mâché came to us from Ancient China. It was invented for military purposes, namely for the manufacture of military ammunition. This technique came to Europe relatively recently, only in the 17th century. Used for making various toys, for example, dolls. There are two types of papier-mâché technique: layer-by-layer and paper-pulp. To make a large Kinder, we need to use a simpler, layer-by-layer manufacturing method. So, let's look at an example.
We will need:
- big balloon;
- PVA glue;
- Polish for hair;
- newspapers or other unnecessary paper;
- toilet paper;
- White paper;
- gouache or water-based paint;
- large brush for glue and paint.
Let's get started step-by-step master class. Inflating the balloon big size and tie it, it is important that the ball does not allow air to pass through.
We dilute PVA glue in the same proportion as 1:1. Toilet paper tear into small random pieces and glue along the entire base of the ball.
Note! Glue should be applied to both the ball itself and the paper glued on top of the ball.
Let the workpiece dry completely.
In a similar way, we form the second layer of the future Kinder, only now from pieces of unnecessary paper or newspapers. If the newspaper does not fit well, the paper should be crumpled, so it will become softer. 7 newspaper layers should be formed. After applying each, the workpiece must be allowed to dry completely. Before forming the 6th layer, the ball should burst at the base and the hole should also be sealed with a thick layer.
We cut the white sheets into arbitrary pieces. We cover the Kinder ball with 2 more layers of white sheets.
It is very important to let each layer dry. This is what you should get:
Using a stationery knife, cut out a hole into which Surprises in the form of sweets and toys will be placed.
We correct the edges so that they do not stick out and are smooth.
The workpiece is ready. You can start decorating. First, we decide on the type of template and try it on Kinder.
Paint the egg completely white if necessary. Next, paint the bottom of the egg with red paint.
We paint the inscription, let it dry completely and glue it onto the Kinder.
We do the same with the top inscription.
We color the “Kinder” inscription, cut out each letter and glue it individually.
Treat Kinder with hairspray, so the paint will not rub off or get dirty.
We fill the product with sweets through the hole.
