Pattern "Buttons" (light blue, blue)

Here is such a cute button) Do you think where I got it? No, I didn’t buy it, even though it looks like a button from a Jenni Bowlin chipboard set. She did it herself. And now I will tell you how to make such an ornament.

We will need: a book sheet, cardboard and Varnish to create the effect of glass from Ranger - Glossy accents. Although in fact you can take any beautiful paper and do without glossy at all.

First we need to glue a sheet of paper to the cardboard base. I took double sided tape. At the same time, you need to make sure that the strips of adhesive tape adjoin each other as tightly as possible - so that later the paper does not peel off from the cardboard base.

We get something like this:

Then we draw our buttons-circles. If you have a circular cutter, this will greatly simplify the task. If not, we arm ourselves with a compass or circle something suitable in shape. Moreover, the buttons do not have to be round - they can be squares, hearts, flowers)) Everything that your imagination tells you.

Now to cut

If you, like me, cut with scissors, then all the irregularities along the edge can be smoothed out with a regular nail file:

Then I decided to tone and age my buttons a little. To do this, with the help of a sponge, I applied distress ink from Ranger - vintage photo. In general, you can take any ink that suits the color)

Now the most important thing is to make holes) You can use a punch (in the eyelet installer), an awl, a thick needle. In general, I found round-nose pliers from my husband - an ideal thing for picking holes)))) you can make a different diameter. Before making holes - mark the place of the future hole with a pencil - so that the button does not turn out to be askew)

In principle, our buttons are ready, but you can experiment)) Leave everything as it is (1), fill them with a glossy accent (2), stick glitter on a glossy that has not yet dried (3) or use the hot embossing technique (4). If you don’t have glossy, but you want a lacquer effect, then you can use facet lacquer. Yes, and any varnish from Ranger, for example,

Get involved!

Among the tasks with the parameters included in the profile USE in mathematics, a special class of tasks can be distinguished, which are almost impossible to solve with standard school methods. Often, the functions on the left and right sides of the equation have a fundamentally different nature, which does not allow the use of an analytical approach. And the complex form of these expressions makes plotting problematic. The way out in this situation can be a minimax method for solving problems with parameters, which relies on the use of monotonicity and boundedness of functions.

Some lessons may seem boring to children. And then discipline begins to suffer in the classroom, students quickly get tired and do not want to take part in the discussion.

Case-lessons were created to connect school learning knowledge with urgently needed competencies, such as creativity, systemic and critical thinking, purposefulness, and others.

Thanks to the cases, you can help the student to benefit and enjoy learning, to cope with his personal problems!

BUTTONS
How many buttons are in the box!
Maybe even a hundred!
Here is my friend.
From the blue coat.

But - from my mother's dress ...
I sit on the bed.
Interesting activity -
Sort them out.

Wooden ones are big.
With a blue flower.
With a painted car.
With red rim.

Pebble ... Transparent to the light.
Worth postponing.
The eye is from a teddy dog...
Should be sewn on!
(Masha Lukashkina)
The charm of these small treasures for kids can be explained by the fact that the buttons were often picked up by mom B after hiding away, and adults want to imitate so much, and the forbidden fruit is sweet. Finally, you can and should play with buttons! This is mosaic and jewelry, and stamps - a variety of colors, shapes and decorations - always something much more than just buttons)
For a teacher, a basket of buttons can be a salvation and give a couple of quiet minutes when someone important comes and asks something seriously. This is a must-have item in the group for crafts and games!

Each player is given 5 more buttons. The player takes and clamps a few buttons in his fist, pulls it out in the direction of the other player and asks: "Even or odd?" The other player answers, if he guessed right, he takes it for himself, if he didn’t guess right, he gives his own, as much as was held in the hand of the first player. We play until one of the guys has accumulated 10 buttons. Fizminutka: Children stand in a circle and hold hands, a “button” is selected - a child who stands in the center of the circle. Children begin to walk in a circle with the words: Button, you are a button small feet Wanted to run away On a straight path We'll catch you now And sew in place. On a signal, the children stop and make “collars” from the hands of the “button”, run through the “collars”, run into the circle and run out of it. On a signal, the gates are closed. If the "button" remained in the circle, then it was caught and sewn on (lose 2-3 times.) I love the book and the song Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons ! about a cat whose buttons came off one after another, and children learn from him not to lose heart, but at the same time countdown. I hope it will be translated into Russian - in the English-speaking world, so many developmental activities have already been invented with these buttons! But even without translation, it is so rhythmic and simple that the children begin to sing it with pleasure :) dice game print cat cards
