Kinusaiga is one of the types of art that combines appliqué, mosaic, patchwork and wood carving. The paintings are created from unusual scraps of fabric. This genre arose in the wake of saving, when you didn’t want to throw away old things and needed to give them a second life. This technique is part of the culture in Japan. All paintings that are made by hand using this technique are very expensive. In this article, we propose to analyze the most popular master classes on kinusaiga for beginners. If you love creativity, then believe me, Kinusaiga will captivate you.

Christmas balls

Step-by-step production of New Year's balls using the kinusaige technique can be viewed in the example of a master class.

You need to take foam balls, lace, shreds cotton fabric, a stationery knife, small scissors and ballpoint pen, tool for threading fabric.

The first step is to draw a small pattern on the future New Year's ball. For beginners, it’s worth doing geometry - squares, circles, because it’s better to start with something simple. We draw everything with a ballpoint pen.

We run a stationery knife on top, plunging the blade to a depth of 1 cm.

Now we take a small piece of fabric, it should be 2 cm larger for part of the pattern. For example, in our case it is a circle. We take our fabric threading tool and set the fabric along the contour. There should be 5-8 mm left at the edges. We trim off the excess fabric and tuck the edges inside the foam. We work with this pattern along the entire perimeter of the ball.

And the last step is to decorate our New Year's products, gluing beautiful accessories: beads, lace, openwork.

Like these ones beautiful balls turned out for the Christmas tree.

Bouquet of roses

Unfortunately, not on the Internet detailed diagram creating a decorative panel of roses, but don’t worry, we will tell you in detail and show you how to make such a patchwork without a needle. An example would be a panel made from another flower, for example, sunflowers.

To work, take thin foam plastic, scissors, a stationery knife, fabric, a picture and a frame. The entire manufacturing process is shown in the photo.

We take the cardboard out of the frame and glue thin foam onto it. Trim off the excess edges and place under a press for two hours.

Glue the diagram to the top using pencil glue. Carefully cut each line with a knife. We make small cuts, 2 mm deep. Next, we cut the fabric into scraps, a couple of mm wider than the required fragment. Then we glue each piece of fabric in place and tuck all the edges into the cuts.

Well, at the very end we insert the picture into the frame.

Panel schemes

We invite you to consider the most popular patchwork patterns on foam plastic, which are perfect for wood. Products according to these schemes can be made not only by a master, but also by a beginner. And some of them are suitable for children. They are distinguished by their simplicity.

The long-awaited ones are approaching New Year holidays, on the eve of which I would like to invite you to make Christmas balls with your own hands. Such a ball will not take you much time, and you will definitely have time to dress up your green beauty.

Kinusaiga is a Japanese technique for creating silk paintings, an artistic genre that arose, so to speak, on the basis of economy. Or rather, Japanese frugality. Originally, it was a way to “recycle” old, worn-out kimonos.

In the modern handicraft world, based on this technique, needlewomen create boxes, decorate Easter eggs, create panels and paintings, and, in particular, decorate New Year's balls, which is what I propose to do today. So, to create Christmas ball we need:

* round blank made of foam

* nail scissors or thick skewer

* scraps of fabric

* stationery knife for making slits in the workpiece

* decorative braid, beads, satin ribbons for decoration.

First of all, we make marks on the ball blank along which we will cut the ball. It is convenient to divide the workpiece into slices. After that, take a stationery knife and make not too deep cuts. We will hide scraps of fabric in them.

To make it smoother, it is convenient to use a thread by wrapping the ball and adjusting the lines that the thread forms. You can divide the ball into as many slices as you like. But here, I think, the main thing is not to overdo it and not to make the slices too thin, otherwise the workpiece may crumble during the process of notching and “hiding” the fabric. The slices can be of different widths, some wider, others smaller. There is room for your imagination to run wild here. I'm not even talking about the patchwork combination of colors and textures.

After the ball is prepared, you need to cut the flaps, cutting the fabric into rectangles suitable for the length and width of your slices. I leave a good allowance on the flaps, which can always be trimmed after the fabric is hidden in the cut. Otherwise, if you leave too little seam allowance, you may simply not have enough scrap.

The preparatory stage is over, and the fun begins) We begin to hide the fabric in the slits. Sometimes it is recommended to coat the workpiece with PVA glue, glue the flap, and then hide it in the cuts. I didn't use glue, and I didn't regret it. Everything turns out smooth and even. In order to hide the fabric in the cuts, I used closed nail scissors, which are very comfortable to hold in your hand. I found it inconvenient to work with a skewer, it is quite thin and round, I wanted something flat and stable in my hand. You can choose a tool that is convenient for you.

We hide first one side of the slice, then the second. When everything is ready and you like it, we confidently cut off the remaining allowances and hide the rest in the cut.

I didn’t use glue on purpose, because if the fabric pulls to one side, or something gets knocked down, you can always take out the piece and try again, having achieved the same result. best result. But if the fabric is glued, this will no longer be possible. In addition, without glue, in my opinion, the tension is more successful, so that a mosquito will not undermine your nose =) There is one more nuance here. When you hide a piece of paper in a cut, it is better to hold the fabric with the finger of your left hand and move from the center of the piece, first in one direction, for example, to the right cut, and then to the other - to the left. If you use pressing movements to move from the middle to the edge, the fabric will lie smoother and without wrinkles. This is where my nail scissors turned out to be the most successful tool, because you won’t be able to straighten the fabric like that with a skewer. When both edges of the scrap are hidden, I slowly run the scissors from top to bottom along the cuts to straighten out the small wrinkles that have formed in the places where the fabric is hidden.

Our first slice is ready. We do the same with each sector.

When your ball is completely “stuffed” with scraps, all that remains is to decorate the toy. The seams are closed satin ribbons, decorative braid, a string of beads, in general, anything you want. I hid the tails of the braid deeply with scissors into the ball itself. Deep so that the ball, although weightless, hangs comfortably and holds itself by the loop =))) I would advise you not to rush to cut off the ribbon or braid. First, you need to hide one tail in the top of the ball, wrap it around the ball, and hide the second end of the braid in the same place on the top of the head, having already cut it off. Do this with each seam of the ball. On one of the seams, do not forget to leave the braid longer to form a loop.

I wish you pleasant New Year's Eve evenings, exciting preparations for the holiday, home comfort and smiles. May all your plans succeed, and may he come to your home as soon as possible. magical holiday. Happy New Year!

Before the holidays, the eternal question of choosing a gift arises. Of course, you can buy cheap souvenirs at the nearest store, and the problem is solved. But a formal approach is not possible when we are talking about close and dear people. Let's look at a master class on learning the kinusage technique that will help create a miracle for beginners and create unique crafts for home. This technique allows you to make charming roses on a panel postcard, which is perfect as a gift for a wedding or Valentine's Day.

Another type of crafts using this technique are kitchen souvenirs.

And even new Year gifts can be made using the kinusaige technique - look at these original soft Christmas tree balls.

As you can see from the photos of the finished works, kinusaige is somewhat similar to patchwork; indeed, another name for this art is patchwork without a needle. Schemes for kinusage are varied: from rectangular houses to complex pictures with animals and people.

The basis for the work is a soft material - foam. That's why this type Handicrafts are quite suitable for children and will not cause them any difficulties. The kid himself will be able to make New Year's balls or patchwork on foam plastic as a gift for his grandparents. And they will help you deal with kinusaige step by step description and video.

We study a step-by-step master class on kinusaiga for beginners and for children

The work begins with preparation necessary materials and drawing for the panel. For Kinusage you will need:

• remnants of colored fabric;
• a piece of foam;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• a seam ripper, a paper knife, a nail file or any sharp object (you will understand what will be convenient during the process of doing patchwork);
• buttons and needles.

For the first craft, you should not take complex drawings. Let's start learning the technique by making a flower on foam plastic. This picture can be easily drawn by both adults and children. The sheet with the sketch is fixed on a piece of foam plastic with buttons.

To transfer the picture, we prick it with a needle along the contour at small intervals.

The next stage of work is the most dangerous, so it is better not to trust the baby with it. Using a sharp knife (or a seam ripper), cut the picture on the foam plastic point by point.

Now comes the fun part! Getting the job done starts with the smallest detail. A piece of fabric is cut out for it and glued to the base. To ensure that the scraps correspond to the parts of the drawing, you can cut them out using a previously drawn sketch and not forgetting to make allowances of 0.5 cm on each side of the part. The cut piece of material is applied to the foam and, using a sharp object, is tucked into the slots.

Thus, the entire flower is sequentially “filled.”

If it is difficult to make a background for your baby, you can cover it acrylic paints, for example, this is done for the second job. These are the interesting pictures we ended up with. Simple materials, a little time - and the panel as a gift is ready!

Let's try volumetric kinusage using the example of New Year's toys

Using volumetric blanks in the form of foam balls, you can make unusual jewelry for the Christmas tree.

The first stage is the most critical. It is necessary to divide the ball into “slices” that are as even and neat as possible. The dividing lines are drawn with a regular ballpoint pen.

Advice for beginning craftswomen: wrap the workpiece with regular thread, by adjusting it you can get the required number of ball parts. There can be from four to eight lobes. It's not worth doing anymore. Pieces on the foam that are too thin will also require thin fabric shreds, which will crumble during the process of “hiding” them. In principle, the design on the toy can be anything. The ball looks interesting with fabric strips different sizes.

Along the marked lines, the foam blank is cut with a sharp knife to a depth of 1 cm.

Then, using elegant scraps of fabric, preferably with glitter or New Year's motifs, the future toy is decorated. A piece is cut from the material, which is tucked into the slots using a sharp knife or file. Everything is the same as when making panels! To make the work faster, you can make a pattern for the “slices”. The tucking allowance should be at least 0.5 cm. This is what a piece of fabric that has already been laid looks like.

The remaining parts of the ball are filled in the same way. The result is a toy like this.

Decorative ribbons, cords, lace, rhinestones and beads will make it look elegant and festive. To begin with, the joints are covered with golden lace, which is fixed with PVA glue.

The final stage is to make a bow and ribbon so that the toy can be placed on the New Year’s tree.

Video lessons for beginners on the topic of the article

So, you have mastered the Kinusage technique and already want to create something with your own hands. There are a lot of ideas for creativity, and to see this, watch the video.

On the eve of the New Year, it is very important to get inspired and make something beautiful with your own hands to please your family on the holiday, while at the same time passing the long autumn evenings. Maybe my master class on New Year's toy in the Kinusaiga technique will inspire you too.

To make a toy using the Kinusaiga technique, we will need the following:

• foam ball,
• several types of fabric matching each other in color and quality,
• a stationery knife, small scissors or a thin nail file (whichever is more convenient for you),
• various ribbons and laces in color for the final decoration of the ball,
• and also scissors, a ruler, a pen.

So let's get started. First, we find the poles of the ball. I took a ball with a diameter of 8 cm. We stick a tailor’s needle into the poles, then stretch a thread between them and draw it along the contour with a pen. And so on from all sides. I drew 8 stripes on the ball to make 8 parts. Everything needs to be done as neatly and evenly as possible so that all parts are the same.

Now take a stationery knife and cut along the marked lines to a depth of about a centimeter.

The technical part is over. Time to use your imagination. I took three types of fabric: golden, green and black with a floral pattern. Fabrics that match each other. We take the fabric and cut off a piece of arbitrary shape from it, approximately the size of our drawn slice on the ball plus 1.5 centimeters on the sides. To save fabric, you can prepare a pattern, or you don’t have to waste time, and then just cut off everything unnecessary. Now, using a nail file, we insert the edges of the fabric into our slits.

We do it carefully, without folds, cut off the excess and finally hide all the edges.

Take another fabric and do the same. By filling all parts of the ball with pieces of fabric, we get this “raw” ball.

Now you need to make a real holiday attribute out of it. Take a golden ribbon or lace and fasten the end on top of the ball in the center. I used PVA glue.

Now we wrap the lace around all our slits, gluing the lace with glue in places so that it does not slip later.

Thin satin ribbon To match the green fabric, we place it on a needle like this.

and attach it to the center of the ball. From the lace that we have already used, we make a loop and fasten it, this will be the ball pendant.

We make a wider bow from a golden ribbon and also attach it to the ball with a needle.

In my opinion, it turned out to be a wonderful New Year's ball.

Making such a ball with your own hands is not at all difficult. We all have scraps of unwanted fabric at home. The main thing is desire and a little imagination. It’s so nice to give such a gift to your family and friends with your own hands!
