One of the youngest public holidays is Russia Day, which is celebrated on June 12. On this holiday, mass celebrations, concert programs, fairs and exhibitions of children's creativity are organized throughout the country.
Would you like to participate in one of these holiday exhibitions? Then you can’t do without a great idea for a themed craft for Russia Day.
In this article, we have prepared for you several interesting crafts for Russia Day that you can make with your own hands. You will also find on our page several interesting video master classes on the same topic.
So, let's begin!
Applique postcard
The craft is made with your own hands and its central part is the tricolor flag of Russia. The applique postcard is decorated with the image of a dove. It is called a symbol of peace. The bottom of the card will be decorated with flowers to match the flag.
It is worth noting that to create a beautiful craft or create a master class, you cannot do without specialized sites where these instructions are described in detail and shown in the photo, for example, the portal master-klassi.ru has a huge selection of ideas for creating crafts.
You will need for the postcard:
- cardboard sheet of rectangular shape and high density. The size is chosen at your discretion, the color of the sheet also does not matter;
- corrugated paper in three flag colors. The roll is white, the second one will be blue and the third roll will be red;
- glue;
- medium sized scissors.
The work is divided into two parts. The first half of the work is the design of the image of the flag itself. The second stage is its decoration.
For the base, a rectangle is cut out of a sheet of cardboard. In equal portions you need to cut small squares for the craft from corrugated paper in the three colors of the flag.
They form dense balls that will cover the surface of the cardboard. The balls are formed using the clumping technique, which means that a large number of lumps will be made.
Borders are drawn on the cardboard with a pencil, dividing the sheet into three stripes. This will help you carefully glue the lumps according to the colors.
To do this, the cardboard is covered with glue over the entire surface. The lumps of colors are pressed onto the cardboard. This creates three stripes that imitate the stripes on the flag.
The lumps are placed close to each other. The work is finished when the surface is completely filled with these lumps. The Russian flag craft will look voluminous.
Decorative elements for applique are being prepared. Work begins with making flowers. They will add a festive mood to the craft. You will need colored paper to match the colors of the flag. Square-shaped blanks are made from white and blue paper.
Fold each square in half several times. The wide side of the workpiece is cut with a bird. Templates are obtained in two colors to form a flower.
The blue flower is glued to the white one. Balls are formed from red paper and glued to the center of a two-color flower. These flowers decorate the bottom of the card.
A white dove will hover over the flowers. In the center of the postcard is placed her figurine, cut out of white paper.

DIY postcard for Russia Day
Crafts for Russia Day have not yet become a common occurrence in our country, but children are happy to join in the process of making them on the initiative of adults. At the same time, they develop a sense of patriotism and devotion to their homeland.
A good option for crafts on the theme “My Motherland is Russia” can be an interesting postcard made from an ordinary white paper sheet.
DIY postcard for Russia Day
It is quite possible for children to make such a postcard for Russia Day with their own hands within the walls of a school or kindergarten. To work you will need to prepare in advance:
Craft materials
We fold a white paper sheet in half and give it the required dimensions.
We open the sheet and cover the entire interior space with blue watercolor. Apply the paint in a fairly thick layer.
Using a piece of cotton wool, carefully blotting the paint with it, we apply silhouettes of clouds, thereby making the background heterogeneous.
Removing the paint
Clouds
We cut out stripes of the Russian flag from colored cardboard.
Glue the stripes of the flag together.
Gluing the tricolor
On one side of the future postcard we draw a heart.
Let's cut it out. We put the flag inside so that it can be seen through the slot.
Fix the flag with glue. In the free space around it, we draw air clouds with the same glue, squeezing it straight out of the tube.
Drawing clouds with glue
Sprinkle them with semolina.
Shake off the semolina when the glue sets. The clouds have gained volume.
Fold the red paper strip into an accordion. Cut out the flower petals - in the form of droplets.
Decorate the front side of the card with flowers.
Cover the flower cores with glue and sprinkle with semolina.
Apply glue and sprinkle with semolina
Shake off the semolina - the cores have turned white.
Craft on the theme my homeland Russia
Before us is a wonderful version of a craft for Russia Day, which we made with our own hands from ordinary paper.
DIY gift for Russia Day
Complete this card with a simple bouquet and you will receive a wonderful gift for this important national holiday.
Symbol of Russia Country of Masters
A rider on a horse is embroidery on satin with a straight stitch, it took 2 hours, I had to constantly turn the hand wheel on an electric sewing machine (very small work). Then the embroidery on the reverse side was smeared with glue; when it had dried, it was cut out and glued onto red satin. Rhinestones are glued along the edge.
We found two plastic bottles. The bottom one is made of sunflower oil, the top one is made of water. We cut them as needed and glued the necks together with hot glue. Two pieces of wire were wrapped in padding polyester and inserted into a cut bottle. The plastic from the bottles itself was wrapped with adhesive tape to make the fabric stick better. We made legs out of wire, wrapped them in yarn so that the yarn wouldn’t fly off, and smeared the wrapped surface with a little glue.
Kanzashki have been prepared. Anyone who does it knows how to do it; there is a manual for making various kanzashkas on the Internet. They started gluing it from the tail, then the legs, and brought it to the place of the wings. We got busy with the wings.
Wings. We found something from the packaging. We cut out the shape of the wings, covered them with kanzashki and glued them to the body of the eagle.
Of course, to do something you always need an idea or a picture, which is what we had before our eyes.
My student is a beauty. For this work she took 2nd place in the All-Russian competition “Knowledge of State Symbols”
Thank you all for stopping by, I hope this is useful to someone.
Crafts for Russia Day
We offer a selection of interesting crafts and cards for Russia Day for children. These ideas will be useful for participating in competitions by June 12 in school and preschool camps. And also for parents who want to involve their children in an important holiday. All crafts are quite simple. Your child will be able to make them with their own hands using the proposed master classes.
Garland
A simple garland in the form of a flag is made according to the principle of New Year's decorations. The difference is that they overlap each other in a tricolor pattern.
We will need:
Take whatman paper or A4 cardboard (depending on the desired size of the craft). Draw it into 3 stripes to prepare the basis for the flag for Russia Day. Next, take three colors of corrugated paper. Each will need to be cut into strips approximately 1 cm wide.
Start gluing the first layer. To do this, each strip must be coated in the central part and attached to the cardboard. Or you can make it simpler and pour glue directly onto the base, smearing it with a brush. You just need to act quickly.
On colored paper of any color, write “Happy Russia Day!” These letters need to be glued to the top of the craft.
Children will definitely enjoy making such a “fluffy” flag, because cutting and gluing stripes is a fun activity.
Flag made from cereals
A very interesting craft for Russia Day is a flag made from rice, split peas or any other cereal. Even the little ones can make it with their own hands.
Previously, we already told you how to paint cereals correctly so that they do not get wet from the paint and acquire bright colors. We recommend watching this master class to make it easier for you.
For this craft for June 12, use thick cardboard as a base (you can use a shoe box lid). Draw the Russian flag in the center.
Next, fill the strips with glue or plasticine, and attach cereal on top. It is best to take long grain rice or half peas. Move from top to bottom.
