The picture of cereals, seeds, grains, pasta looks original. The material can be dyed or natural color can be used. With the help of cereals, you can create a floral plot, landscape, abstraction and even a portrait. It is better to create cereal paintings with children. First, fine motor skills, finger dexterity develop. Secondly, fantasy and imagination are enriched, new creative abilities are formed.

small craft

For work, you will need thick cardboard, chipboard or fiberboard, plywood. On this basis, with a pencil, draw the image of a flower in a circle or a circle with an hourglass. You can transfer any abstract plot. For example, a lot of crossed circles or squares.

If you do not know how to draw, then print a template of any picture. It is better to take a photo for stained glass painting, where the plot is already divided into color pieces. The printout should be the size of the picture, if it is not, transfer the picture to the base. The color template is suitable if you use grits in the same color scheme.

To get pictures from seeds and cereals, the base is covered with PVA glue and sprinkled with grains. Start work by defining the border, then the center is easier to fill. Small grains (millet, semolina, rice, oatmeal) can be sprinkled on the glue with a handful, and large grains (beans, millet, lentils, peas, corn) should be glued by hand. To make the panel even, it is better to use tweezers.

Each section must be glued with grits separately. If you are sprinkling a painting, then leave it for a few minutes for the glue to set, then turn the work over. Excess material will fall. Then move on to the next section: cover with glue, sprinkle with grains again.

Cover the finished work with a white sheet of paper, place oppression on top, leave for a few days. This is especially important if the painting is stored without glass. Lastly, varnish it, and after a few days hang it on the wall.

Children's paintings

Children can create beautiful works too. Prepare seeds, cereals, cardboard, glue, paints, brush, template. The smaller the child, the larger the material should be (beans, pumpkin seeds). For older children, tomato, pepper, flower, poppy seeds are suitable. The material must be selected in accordance with the plot, then you get the original picture of the cereal. With his own hands, the child will be happy to create it!

Print any picture, paste on cardboard. Now cover the surface with glue. Take pumpkin seeds, apply them tightly to each other. Sprinkle the tomato seeds with a handful. Leave the work to dry.

Now you can color the picture with gouache. In this case, there may be gaps in the work. If you want to get more accurate pictures, then paint the seeds in advance with gouache or acrylic paints. Also paint the template with the same colors or print on a color printer. When the work dries, arrange it in a frame. To do this, you can buy a ready-made photo frame or make it yourself from improvised material.

How do-it-yourself paintings are made from cereals: a master class

Panels can be made according to the principle of woolen paintings. Find a photo of the landscape and select the grits from it, which you initially paint in the desired color. Lubricate the cardboard with glue and layers of multi-colored semolina create a sky, sea, grass, road. Leave to dry. After a while, turn the work over so that excess grits crumble.

Then move on to the next layer. Lay out the seagulls with tweezers with rice, make bushes and trees from dyed millet, poppy seeds (can be replaced with bluebell seeds). Now lay out the side trunks of trees from the seeds of acacia, millet. Make foliage from different cereals and small seeds.

The cereal picture is almost ready. Sprinkle grass along the sides of the road. Leave the work to dry (preferably under oppression). Then prepare the frame. If you take it ready, then decorate it with cereals or pasta in accordance with the landscape. Or make it out of cardboard. Cut out the base from the passe-partout, paint, decorate with cereals. Next, glue the base, picture and passe-partout together, attach the loop.

Owl

For this work you will need white and black beans, green and yellow peas, sunflower seeds, yellowish rice, buckwheat. On cardboard, draw an owl on a branch. Make pupils from black beans, gluing in the middle on a reflection (white beans). The whites of the eyes will be from white beans, and glue the borders with black beans.

Nose, paws will be from yellow peas, wings, head - from sunflower seeds. Fill the rest of the space with rice and buckwheat. On the breast, glue a couple of feathers (seeds) on top of the cereal. A branch can be made from buckwheat, leaves from green peas. Paint the background with blue gouache.

To make a picture of cereal fit into the interior, make an appropriate frame. Garnish with beans, corn or peas. To create a specific pattern, like a baguette frame, use pasta, gold or silver acrylic paints. Cover the frame and picture with varnish.

Panel of cereals using plasticine

Small seeds develop fingers, but it is difficult for children to work with PVA glue and cereals. They do not distribute glue over the entire surface of the pattern, which causes bumps and voids. In addition, their crafts crumble quickly. In this case, it is better to replace the glue with plasticine, clay or a quickly hardening mass.

Use very thick cardboard or thin chipboard. Draw a drawing with all lines. Take plasticine according to the color of the cereal or under the background of the plot. Distribute it first along the lines and the border of some area. For example, apply plasticine to the middle of the flower. Fasten from the outer edge by pushing in yellow corn kernels.

Then the second round is black beans or watermelon seeds. Fill the middle with buckwheat. Then distribute the plasticine along the lines of the petals, laying them out with black seeds, and fill the rest of the space with red corn grains.

Unusual pictures of cereals and seeds are obtained from natural material; it is not at all difficult to make them with your own hands, especially if you take materials such as dried flowers, berries, leaves. These works should also be varnished, decorated and hung on the wall.

"Krupyany" portrait

From pasta, cereals, grains, seeds, professionals create portraits. To do this, you need to choose a material that is the same in thickness. For example, pasta and legumes, oval volumetric flower seeds, corn. You need to find as many shades and shapes as possible.

The photo should be transferred to cardboard or board. Some masters do the following: they apply translucent paper to a photo or computer monitor, reduce the image by drawing lines and light spots.

Next, glue is applied and the grains are glued, starting with the eyes, eyebrows, mouth, nose. Combining large and small beans, completely fill the face. Pay attention to the slope of the grains. If you put everything in a certain direction, and then change the line, then you emphasize the desired features. When laying out a portrait, be sure to rely on the original.

After the face, hair, clothes are laid out, fill in the background. After some time, paint over some parts. For example, eyes, pupil, eyelashes, mouth, dimples on the cheeks. A picture of cereals with your own hands is almost done. It is then necessary to apply several layers of colorless varnish. Be sure to make a frame using the same material (pasta, beans). In this case, purchase paint and varnish in spray cans.

Another way to make portraits

Some craftsmen use small grains to make portraits, using bead technology as a basis. If you paint the millet in the desired color, then you can lay out any pictures according to the schemes for embroidery. But there is another technology that is used to create icons.

Another important point - this type of exercise is very good for health. Perfectly calms the nervous system, helps to get rid of depression. In addition, the creation of paintings from cereals creates a sense of style and impeccable taste.

Materials and tools

Different grains and cereals are suitable for creating paintings: peas, millet, rice, lentils, wheat, poppy seeds, peppers, etc. Bird feathers, tree branches and much more can be used as additions.

No special tools are required. Required:

• small tweezers
• masking tape
• pencil
• copy paper
• gouache (for coloring grains)
• PVA glue. It is desirable to use this glue because it is non-toxic, odorless and relatively inexpensive. Building glue PVA will not work!
• glue "Moment" - for gluing large fragments
• bristle brushes
• a large needle is needed to correct the pattern
• spray varnish is used to cover the surface of the painting at the end of the work. Sold in craft stores.

The choice of a substrate for a picture of cereals

As a substrate, you can use thick cardboard. If boxes of household appliances or sheets of plywood have been preserved, you can use them.

Experienced craftswomen use light and durable hardboard. This is a solid and fibreboard, 2.5-6 mm thick. If you use paper or thin cardboard as a substrate, they may deform from the adhesive. It is unlikely that it will be possible to straighten the picture later.

Another option is glass or plywood. The glass comes with the frame. In this case, the finished craft will be very heavy. In the event of a fall, the glass will break, the painting will be damaged and cannot be restored. If the craft is small and will be, for example, on the table, glass can be used. But first you need to stick a sheet of paper on it and let it dry.

Cereal picture frame

Suitable for any material. The wooden frame can be painted and varnished before use.

Preparing the basis for the future picture

The selected pattern should be applied to the base with a pencil or carbon paper. Apply the sketch neatly, with thin, barely noticeable lines. Thick and bright lines will be difficult to close with grits, they will still shine through.

After drawing a sketch, you should decide on the material. What cereals and grains will be on one or another part of the picture. How many of them do you need in order for the picture to be completed completely. You also need to choose the right material. It is not recommended to use material similar in color in neighboring areas.

It is worth noting that the smaller the size of the grains used to create the picture, the more time and effort it will take to work.

If the figure provides colors that are not characteristic of the grains (red, orange, etc.), you can use ordinary gouache and carefully paint the grains with the desired color. But it is better to use pre-colored rice (any other cereal will do).

Groats coloring

You will need acrylic paint and alcohol. Put dry cereal in a container. Put a few drops of paint in there. Thick paint can be thinned by adding alcohol to it. Mix the grits with paint very well. Then put the mass in a thin layer on a plastic film. To prevent the grains from sticking together, you need to periodically mix. Do not use dyed grits until completely dry. To create light shades, you need to mix paint of one color or another with white.

There is a more affordable way to stain cereals with gouache or food coloring. Step-by-step plan with a photo in the article

Paintings from cereals with their own hands. Master Class

One of the most popular and beautiful patterns is an ornament of simple lines and geometric shapes. You need to start working with these figures and lines. Borders and lines can be beautifully designed using wooden sticks or coffee beans, etc. These elements are glued using Moment. Wooden sticks are pre-painted, varnished and dried. You can tie them with ropes.

Carefully spread the material on the glue. Beans and other large grains can be picked up with tweezers. Do not allow the base to be visible. Consider the shape of the material. So, for example, rice or coffee is oval, and buckwheat is triangular. Hercules should be overlapped. Small grains can be laid out with a needle, the tip of which can be lubricated with glue. Pour semolina, corn grits, poppy seeds from a teaspoon and gently level the surface with your finger. Incorrectly placed material can be corrected with a needle. The most difficult to glue semolina. Therefore, it is best used as "snow" or "desert sand".

When the picture is finished, you need to seal the frame with tape. Coat the surface of the painting with varnish. Leave to dry for about a day. The varnish not only gives a beautiful shine, but also protects the grains from various insects and bugs. Below is a picture of a do-it-yourself photo of cereals.

It is worth mentioning such material as pasta. They are produced in various forms: “horns”, “shells”, “spirals”, “tubes”, “bows”, etc. Some craftsmen create their masterpieces entirely from pasta.

Do-it-yourself painting of cereals and seeds

Separate elements of the picture can be arranged both with cereals and grains. The creation process is similar. First, prepare the necessary materials, tools and a base with a substrate.

You can use any cereals and grains: barley, buckwheat, corn, sunflower seeds, peppers, cloves, watermelon seeds, beans, etc. You can decorate the background with small cereals. And the details are larger - grains.

When gluing small grains, make sure that there are no hills and irregularities. Take large grains with tweezers and stick one at a time. Make sure that the surface is completely filled, there should be no gaps!

Color semolina and other small cereals, as well as grains, in the desired color only after they are completely stuck. Some elements of the picture can be filled with pre-painted grits.

It is recommended to involve children or grandchildren in this exciting activity. Working with grains trains the fingers of little helpers who help their mothers and grandmothers. If children are involved in creating a family "masterpiece", in order to avoid trouble, you need to carefully monitor their actions.

Do-it-yourself contour paintings from cereals

The most complex and painstaking work on contour paintings. When the rice to the rice should be, otherwise it will not turn out beautifully.

Each grain is painted in the desired shade of color, otherwise the beauty of the picture will not be visible.

A contour is drawn with a thin pencil, glue is applied to it with tweezers, then rice is laid out. If necessary, correct with a needle.

Pictures from seeds, cereals, coffee and other materials can be presented to friends and work colleagues. They will be delighted with such an unusual gift!
