Try cutting out a craft like this. Your loved ones will surely like it by placing it in a visible place, for example, on a shelf. To make this craft you will need the following:
Sawing tools.
Preparing your desktop
First of all, you need to prepare your table on which you will work. There should be no unnecessary things on it and every tool should be at hand. Not everyone has their own desktop and has probably already thought about creating one. Making a table is not difficult, but choosing a place for it in the house is difficult. The ideal option is an insulated balcony, on which you can do crafts at any time. I have already written about preparing the table in a separate article and tried to describe in as much detail as possible the entire process of creating it. If you don't know how to prepare your workplace, then read the following Article. After you have completed the process of creating a table, try to start choosing your future craft.
We choose quality material
The main material is plywood. The choice is always difficult. Each of us has probably encountered such a problem as delamination of plywood from the end part and asked the question, what causes this delamination? Well, of course, this is mainly due to low-quality plywood. If this is not the first time you have picked up a jigsaw, then you can select plywood from the remnants of a previous craft. If you are new to sawing and you don’t have plywood, then buy it at a hardware store. Choosing material for sawing is always difficult. You should always choose plywood carefully, often look at the defects of the wood (knots, cracks) and draw conclusions. The difficulty in choosing plywood lies in the fact that no matter how you guess at its defects and shelf life. For example, you bought plywood, cleaned it, translated the drawing and suddenly it began to delaminate. Of course, this has happened to almost everyone and it’s oh, how unpleasant. So it is better to pay attention when choosing and choose good plywood. I wrote a special Article in which all the principles of choosing plywood are described step by step.
Stripping plywood
We clean our plywood with sandpaper. As you already know, “Medium-grained” and “Fine-grained” sandpaper is used for cleaning plywood during cutting. You've probably seen sandpaper in hardware stores, and that's what we'll need. In your work you will need “Coarse-grained”, “Medium-grained” and “Fine-grained” sandpaper. Each of them has its own property, but a completely different coating, by which it is classified. “Coarse-grained” sandpaper is used for processing rough plywood, i.e. which has many defects, chips, and cracks.
“Medium-grained” sandpaper is used for processing plywood after “Coarse” sandpaper and has a slight coating. “Fine-grained” or otherwise “Nulevka”. This sandpaper serves as the final process for stripping plywood. It gives the plywood smoothness, and therefore the plywood will be pleasant to the touch. Sand the prepared plywood in stages, starting with medium-grain sandpaper and ending with fine sandpaper. Sanding should be done along the layers, not across. A well-polished surface should be flat, completely smooth, glossy in the light and silky to the touch. How best to prepare plywood for sawing and which sandpaper is best to choose Read here. After stripping, check the plywood for burrs and small irregularities. If there are no visible defects, then you can proceed to the process of translating the drawing.
Translation of the drawing
For me, drawing translation has always been the main process in my work. I will tell you a couple of rules, as well as tips for high-quality translation of a drawing. Many people transfer the drawing onto plywood not only using a pencil and copying, but also using “Black Tape”, glue the drawing to the plywood, then wash off the drawing with water and the markings of the drawing remain on the plywood. In general, there are many ways, but I will tell you about the most common method. To transfer the drawing onto prepared plywood, you must use a copy, a ruler, a sharp pencil and a non-writing pen. Fasten the drawing in plywood using buttons or simply hold it with your left hand. Check if the drawing fits the dimensions. Place the clock drawing so that you can use a sheet of plywood as economically as possible. Translate the drawing using not writing pen and rulers. There is no need to rush, because your future craft depends on the drawing.
Drilling holes in the parts
As you have already noticed, the parts contain parts of the grooves that need to be cut out from the inside. To cut out such parts, you need to drill holes in them using a hand drill or, as in the old fashioned way, make holes with an awl. By the way, the diameter of the hole must be at least 1 mm, otherwise you can damage the elements of the drawing, which, alas, are sometimes difficult to restore. To avoid damaging your work table when drilling holes, you must place a board under the workpiece so as not to damage the work table. It is always difficult to drill holes alone, so ask a friend to help you in your task.
Sawing parts
There are many rules for cutting, but you need to stick to the most common ones. First of all, you need to cut out the internal parts, only then according to the external pattern. There is no need to rush when cutting. The main thing is to always keep the jigsaw straight at a 90-degree angle when cutting. Cut out the parts along the lines you precisely marked. The movements of the jigsaw should always be smooth up and down. Also, do not forget to watch your posture. Try to avoid bevels and unevenness. If you go off the line while cutting, don't worry. Such bevels and irregularities can be removed using flat files or “coarse-grained” sandpaper.
Rest
When sawing, we often get tired. Fingers and eyes, which are always tense, often get tired. When working, of course, everyone gets tired. In order to reduce the load, you need to do a couple of exercises. You can view the exercises here. Do the exercises several times during work.
Cleaning Parts
You should always clean the parts of a future craft carefully. At the very beginning of the work, you already sanded the plywood with sandpaper. Now you have to do a small part of stripping the plywood. Using medium-grain sandpaper, sand the edges of the parts and the back of the plywood. “Fine-grained” sandpaper is considered the final stage of cleaning parts. It is better to clean the front part of the parts with fine sandpaper. When processing plywood, take your time. You can also use a rounded file, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the holes. Try to ensure that the parts come out without burrs or irregularities.
Assembly of parts
Assembling the parts of our craft is not so difficult here. In order to correctly assemble the parts, you need to read the following Article, which describes in detail all the details of the assembly. After the parts are assembled into one common craft without any problems, then start gluing them.
Gluing the parts
The shelf parts must be glued using PVA or titan glue. You don't need to pour a lot of glue. It is better to tie the assembled craft with glue with a strong thread, tighten it and lay it out to dry. The craft glues together in about 10-15 minutes.
Burning out crafts
To decorate our craft with a pattern (for example, along the edges of the craft), you will need an electric burner. It can be very difficult to burn a pattern beautifully. To burn patterns, you must first draw the pattern with a pencil. You can read how to work with an electric burner and add patterns to a shelf here.
Varnishing crafts
If desired, you can transform our craft by covering it with Wood Varnish, preferably colorless. Read how best to varnish a craft. Try to choose a quality varnish. Varnishing is carried out using a special brush “For glue”. Take your time. Try not to leave visible marks or scratches on the craft.

Easter - all Christians look forward to this day with special trepidation. The brightest and purest holiday of Easter is celebrated on the same day by both Catholics and Orthodox Christians. Various types of Easter souvenirs will traditionally appear in stores, but why not try to make them yourself? After all, Easter crafts made by yourself are not much inferior to store-bought counterparts.
There are many wonderful Easter ideas, many of which can be done by the whole family, introducing even small children to needlework. Making your own crafts for Easter can be accompanied by stories about the history of this holiday.
The symbolism of the holiday is very important. Traditionally, its symbols are something that in one way or another means the renewal of life - these are Easter streams, Light is the Easter fire and Life itself (Easter cakes, eggs and rabbits).
Easter eggs are the most common holiday symbol that marks the victory of life over death. Traditionally, they should be red, but today eggs are decorated in every way. But still, the color red is of great importance. After all, according to legend. when Mary Magdalene came to the ruler Tiberius to report the miraculous resurrection of Christ and brought him an egg as a gift, he said: “This is impossible, just as it is impossible for this egg to turn red.” And the egg turned red in the hands of Tiberius! Since then, red has meant the victory of life over death, renewal.
For more than a century, this tradition has existed: sending beautiful Easter cards to loved ones. They depict not only the symbols of the holiday, but also all the beauty of spring blossoms. And also cute chickens, bunnies, flowers, Easter cakes.
There are a lot of options for decorating Easter eggs. They depend on what materials are used: paper, embroidery, just threads or beads. But first you need to prepare it.
Preparation for Easter egg
The egg-shaped blank can be:
- wooden blank
- foam blank
- blank made from natural material
- non-standard blanks
Wooden egg blank
Perhaps the most convenient would be a foam blank. And all because it holds its shape perfectly without being too hard. You can easily stick pins, etc. into it.
Styrofoam egg blank
But the good thing about making Easter crafts with your own hands is that even the blank can be made from scrap materials!
In the most ordinary raw egg we have to make two small holes: at the top - no more than 2 mm, and at the bottom - about 5 mm in diameter. For this purpose we need an awl or a fairly thick needle. After these procedures, the white and yolk will easily pour out from below. All you have to do is wash the shell and dry it.
A plastic egg from the well-known children's chocolate delicacy can also be used as a blank - it is quite possible to braid it with beads or tie it.
Easter eggs made of beads
Beaded eggs are distinguished by their elegance and always attract attention. This is quite painstaking, delicate work, but the result is always impressive. We need to weave a special pattern, and then carefully transfer it to the egg, onto which we have previously applied a thermal sticker. But if you have not done beadwork before, it will be a bit difficult, although such a detailed master class as this will be an excellent help in your first creative experience of this kind.
Easter eggs with embroidery
Why not move away from the 3D egg standard by making a flat pendant with embroidery? It looks very cool, original, and I can’t say that the work is difficult to do. IN detailed master class describes how to embroider and assemble such an unusual egg. The only difficulty, perhaps, will be that the embroidery itself will take some time. But the result is worth it!
You can still stay with the traditional idea of a voluminous egg, and in this case, Krestik recommends paying attention to the master class on creating. Only instead of Christmas ball we will use an egg-shaped blank. Rest assured, the souvenir will be very delicate, everyone will want to take a closer look at it, or even become the owner of such beauty.
Easter eggs made of felt and fleece
If you do this unusual gift for Easter with your own hands, rest assured that it will be appreciated. It can even act as a talisman, because souvenirs made from these materials always look bright and unusual.
And, by the way, you can definitely involve children in preparing this souvenir. The main requirement is accuracy, but there will be no difficulties in the process of making such an egg, everything is extremely simple. However, judge for yourself by watching the master class “Easter eggs made of felt - a wonderful souvenir on a bright day!”
Garland of eggs made from felt
All you have to do is stock up on these incredibly useful materials for handicrafts, and then the work will go like clockwork.
Knitted Easter eggs
Even if you know little about knitting, you will be able to make beautiful knitted Easter eggs. It is enough to pick up a hook, bright yarn and master the technique of single crochet.
Of course, there are more complicated options. More experienced knitters will probably want to use something already knitted in a simple way attach egg bright flower with a beautiful button in the core. But you will have to work hard to create it, although this is not so difficult to do.
Easter eggs “dressed” in openwork cobwebs look very cool. This is a gentle, delicate, and not at all difficult job. The master class with the beautiful name “Lace Splendor” describes in detail all the moments of making this handmade souvenir.
Also very interesting option souvenir - such a hand-made Easter gift will appeal to many. In order to make it, we need:
- foam blank
- silk or cotton white threads
- PVA glue
- pins
- polyethylene film
- decor details
First, we cover the foam blank with polyethylene. This is necessary so that our threads do not stick to the foam and can subsequently be removed without difficulty. Then we need to very carefully stick the needles into the workpiece. One row will be along the edge of the future window, and the second row will go along the oval of the Easter egg.
There will no longer be a window in the second half, so we will make a row of needles exclusively along the oval of the egg.
The halves are made separately from each other!
We soak the threads in PVA glue and wrap them around our workpiece. It is better to wrap not randomly, but following a zigzag pattern through the pins of the outer and inner rows.
When the wrapping is finished, the threads can be covered with glue a second time. Next, wait for the workpiece to dry thoroughly. As soon as this happens, we very, very carefully remove the pins, and then remove the half from the workpiece.
We make the second half using a similar principle. Now you need to connect them to each other. You can tie them with a satin ribbon or secure them with a hot gun.
It would be great if you put a fluffy miniature chicken or rabbit inside such a delicate Easter egg. The egg can be tied with a thin ribbon and decorated with a bow on top for beauty. It turned out very beautiful craft: Many will be surprised that you did it yourself!
Easter egg using Origami technique
Colored paper and triangular modules - if this tells you anything, it's definitely worth experimenting with a similar Easter souvenir.
How to make a triangular Origami module
First you will have to learn how to make modules from colored paper, later this skill will be useful to you in new origami crafts.
To do this, you line colored paper in a special way. However, there are at least two ways to manufacture modules. Typically, paper is folded several times, cut at a certain stage, and then identical pieces are turned into future modules. You can watch the video to see how to cut paper correctly:
Step-by-step master class on creating an Easter egg using the Origami technique
We will proceed as follows:
- We need to prepare 99 green and 112 pink triangular modules.
- There will be 8 green modules in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rows. They easily fit on each other.
- In the 4th row there will be 16 pink modules, which need to be put on with one pocket.
- We make the 5th row according to the principle: 2 green modules - 2 pink modules - 2 green, etc.
- 6th row: the same principle, but the pattern itself needs to be shifted a little to the side.
- Next, we try to give the egg the shape of a bowl and continue to lay out the same pattern, not forgetting to shift it to the side.
- You need to make 8 rows with a pattern.
- The next row will consist of 16 pink modules.
- The work will be completed with a row of green modules, which will be placed on three corners.
The video master class will instruct you in detail on how to create an origami egg:
And the next master class will tell you how to improve your work. But for beginners best choice There will be exactly the first path, since it is as simple as possible, but the result is just as attractive.
Easter egg using Quilling technique
To perform this technique you will need:
- egg preparation
- pins
- paper pins
First of all, think about what the egg will be like. Elements can be glued to the workpiece itself:
You can then carefully remove the workpiece. This is necessary so that the egg turns out hollow and openwork.
If you chose the second option, then the manufacturing principle will be the same as making an Easter egg from threads. That is, we go the following way:
- Cover the egg with polyethylene, and then, starting from the very top of the workpiece, glue the quilling elements. Each element should not only be attached to the previous one, but also secured with two or three pins.
- This is how the top half of the egg will be made, after which you need to coat it with varnish and leave it to dry.
- Now you can work on the second piece (the lower half), and after drying, glue both parts together.
The quilling elements are twisted the way we need them. It’s better to practice in advance so as not to waste time in the process of making an Easter egg. In order not to get lost, it is better to follow this video master class:
Prosperity and abundance in Easter symbolism is the rabbit. It is believed that it will bring good luck to the one who receives it as a gift. You can plant him next to a basket of Easter eggs, he will be its cute and cute guard.
You can sew a simple rabbit from gray linen, or you can sew colorful adorable little bunnies using all your imagination. It is not necessary to remove this souvenir until next Easter, because he can be a good talisman for the year.
Watch our master class “Easter bunnies that bring good luck” and choose the one you like)
Without spending a lot of effort, you can make the cutest Easter basket with your own hands, in which they will look so cool painted eggs. And there are many variations:
In addition, craftswomen even make baskets out of paper! Baskets made using the Quilling technique are especially beautiful.
How do you like a basket decorated with crocheted flowers? Isn't it beautiful?!! Easter cake and eggs knitted using the Amigurumi technique will serve as an excellent filling!
Easter candles
Egg shaped candles – original souvenir for Easter. Our master class “Easter candles and their protective properties” will not leave any questions on the topic “how to make them.”
By the way, the same egg shells can become the best candlesticks:
Easter napkins
Classics of the genre! However, you can start making them now, because such embroidery requires a lot of time. There are a lot of patterns that you will use to embroider. Assess your skill level and choose.
Hello dear readers! Soon we will all celebrate Easter. Of course, the most important and basic preparation for this day is painting and decorating eggs, buying Easter cakes, or maybe you will bake them yourself. These are the unchanging attributes of Easter.
Children prepare for this day in their own way. In schools and kindergartens they make various crafts with themes holiday. Some institutions hold competitions among such crafts. Agree that this is interesting and exciting. Some families also decorate their houses and apartments with Easter decor, and a festive spring atmosphere immediately reigns in the house.
I am sure that every home has things that are a pity to throw away and do not bring any use. These are exactly what we will need for creative Easter crafts. But not only these materials will be used for business, others that you could not even think about will also come in handy. Let `s start?
Easter chickens made from paper plates
There are probably disposable tableware left at home after the picnic. It can be used to make chickens. Or make a composition of a hatched chicken from an egg. For these purposes you will also need colored paper, scissors and glue. 
Little kinder chickens
If there are children in the house, then more likely you have little yellow kinder containers that are mostly lying around idle. Let's fix this! Arm yourself with glue, scissors and some colored paper, you only need a little bit of it.
Cut out colored triangles and glue them onto the egg; you can draw eyes with a marker. You can leave it like that, or you can show even more imagination and decorate it with bows and threads.
Paper egg cups
For Easter, everyone buys eggs and they end up with paper backings. Don't rush to throw them away. You can make original coasters from them.
Glue, some red felt, white watercolor with a brush and cardboard box from under the eggs.
Bunny, chicken made from pompoms
Perhaps you have old hats or scarves with pom-poms lying around. You can make wonderful little animals from them - a hare or a chicken. If not, it doesn’t matter, you can make pom-poms yourself. To do this, you will need cardboard blanks in the shape of a ring; yarn is wound on them in many layers. The yarn is then cut along the outer circle and tied in the middle. The pompom is ready so quickly and easily.
Chicken is made using the same principle.
Salt dough bunnies
Salt dough is very easy to prepare. Mix a glass of fine salt with a glass of flour and add 5 tbsp. spoons vegetable oil. After kneading the dough, you can immediately begin creating the figures. These are the bunnies we got, we painted them with colored gouache.
These are so interesting and original ideas Can be a great gift or decorate your interior.

The selection of plywood depends on the size of the parts, in in this case you will need little plywood. Plywood will be needed 5mm and 3mm. Before transferring the drawing onto plywood, sand it with coarse-grain sandpaper and finish with fine-grain sandpaper. It is more convenient to sand with a wooden block wrapped in sandpaper. Sand the prepared plywood along the layers, not across. A well-polished surface should be flat, completely smooth, glossy-matte in the light and silky to the touch. Pay attention to grain placement, knots, dents and other imperfections. Quality and color.
When all the parts have been cut out, you need to sand the surface again, only with fine-grained sandpaper. If there are burrs or irregularities after cleaning, clean the parts with needle files.
Try putting together a craft. When assembling, refer to the drawing. If the parts do not fit into the right places, file them down or clean them with needle files. When the craft is assembled without problems, glue it together. You need to glue the rooster using PVA or titan glue. You don't need to pour a lot of glue.
It is necessary to decorate the craft with spray paint of any color or varnish it.
