Master class “Chamomile bracelet” Dear colleagues, I present to your attention a master class on making a simple paper bracelet. We designed bracelets like these today.

What is the drug "Krokodil"?

Thanks to modern cinema and various video special effects, almost all of us have seen zombies or the “living dead” on television. These are creatures with rotten flesh, dead glass eyes, who greedily seek food, no matter what. Viewers perceive them simply as artistic characters.

However, a terrible drug has long been operating on the streets of our cities, turning drug addicts practically into “the living dead.” This is the drug desomorphine, which drug addicts themselves call “crocodile.” When meeting a desomorphine addict on the street, one gets the impression that we were seeing a real zombie.

The narcotic substance desomorphine was invented in 1930 as a synthetic substitute for morphine. But doctors quickly became disillusioned with it because of the terrible consequences it caused. After 2000, during the period of active fight against drugs, poppy cultivation was banned, and drug addicts who could not live without drugs (mainly opiates) “unearthed” a relatively cheap and accessible recipe for desomorphine.

Beaded crocodile: 2 weaving options

It just so happened that it was the figurine of a crocodile that was chosen by needlewomen for weaving with beads. A crocodile can become not only a toy for a child, but also, for example, a keychain.

Let's consider 2 options for making a crocodile. The first one is voluminous, made of small beads, woven on a fishing line. The second one is flat, made of large beads, on a thin wire (go to the master class).

Tip for choosing beads: take Czech-made beads. It may not be the most expensive, but it is noticeably better than the Chinese one. In Chinese, the size of the beads is different, they themselves are uneven - this is how a figurine can turn out.

Flat crocodile made of large beads

It's faster to weave a flat crocodile. If you use small beads, the figure will turn out to be quite small. So if possible, take beads with a diameter of 4 mm.

beads in 2 shades of green;
3 beads of contrasting color (for the eyes and for the tip of the tail);
1.4 m of wire 0.3 mm thick (0.25 mm is possible).

If the large beads are made in China, then try to select beads that are more or less the same size.

There are also beads with a diameter of 4 mm on sale, but the product will look different using beads.

Progress

The crocodile stitch is made using the same parallel stitching technique as the voluminous one. The difference is that the wire allows you to keep the shape well in one plane.

The crocodile is woven from two primary colors. It can be light green and dark green, green and yellow, green and brown. Choose any combination, depending on what beads are available. To simplify the description, we will call one color - color A (in our case, pearl green), the other - color B (here, rainbow green).

1. 1st row: string 3 beads of color A (place them in the center of the piece of wire).

How to save a drug addict who uses krokodil from the consequences?

This drug kills in 1.5-2 years. You can save a crocodile drug addict by recognizing the addiction in time and acting quickly. After the course of treatment necessary to relieve withdrawal symptoms and treat concomitant diseases, immediately refer the person to rehabilitation.

In our center, those who use drugs undergo long-term rehabilitation in a hospital for several months to six months or even longer. The program consists of specific steps that a person takes one by one to make progress and overcome certain aspects of their addiction. Parents and loved ones can observe gradual changes, and these are positive changes that bring joy and confidence in the possibility of complete recovery from addiction.

Whatever your loved one uses: Coaxil, heroin, spice, krokodil and other drugs - contact us for help.

Consultations and rehabilitation are anonymous.

Toothed Nile crocodile made of paper. Master Class

Greetings from a small company to all blog readers!

And we are back at it again. Let's create miracles with our own hands again. Next up is a paper crocodile. We have a crocodile, and for you a master class. Detailed and with photographs.

Let's get ready. So, we need:

a sheet of green double-sided colored paper;
a sheet of white paper;
glue stick;
black marker or felt-tip pen;
scissors.

All is ready! Let's get creative.

Let's take a sheet of green paper and make lines appear on it that will divide our sheet into 8 equal parts. You can draw these lines using a ruler. We made it simpler, folded it several times and we got the desired lines.

Now, using scissors, along the marked lines, cut the sheet into 8 identical strips.

Set two of them aside and cut the rest in half.

We will also move one of the already cut strips to the side. And we’ll cut one part of it too. In general, everything should turn out as in the picture.

From the 10 strips that remain, we begin to assemble the body of the crocodile. We take one strip and use glue to turn it into a ring.

We thread the next one into the ring.

And we also glue it into a ring.

We do the same with the third one.

And with everyone else. As a result, we get the body of a crocodile.

Let's take care of his tail. Let's take the long strip that we moved aside a little earlier.

We thread it into the outer ring as in the picture.

And use scissors to give the tail a crocodile shape.

The tail is ready, and now we will make the mouth. Take the second long strip.

We thread it through the outer ring.

Already looks like a crocodile, doesn't it? For now, let's leave the mouth alone and work on the legs. We take two narrow strips.

We bend them in half.

And bend it as in the picture.

Turn the crocodile belly up. And glue the legs into place.

Well, now hold him tight, otherwise he will run away. Although, it will be difficult for him to run, because he doesn’t see anything yet. He doesn't have eyes. We'll fix it now. Take the remaining strip and cut it lengthwise into two equal parts. We only need one part.

And round off the ends.

Let's put our eyes back in place. To do this, open the crocodile’s mouth wider and glue the eyes at the base of the upper jaw.

You can close your mouth.

Turn the eyes up.

Using scissors, we give the upper jaw the desired shape. Let's do it a little bit more.

And bend the nose.

We also narrow the lower jaw a little, but not with scissors, but simply carefully fold the paper with our fingers.

Cut a strip 1.5 cm wide from a white sheet.

Cut out two circles.

Glue the eyes into place.

We outline the pupils with a marker.

Draw sharp and dangerous teeth.

We insert the jaw into its proper place. Glue it inside the crocodile's mouth.

All! Our toothy crocodile is ready! Carefully! Otherwise it will bite)

As you can see, the craft is quite simple. And very beautiful)

It will come in handy if you are asked to make something on the theme of wildlife at school.

And here we showed how to make checkers-bugs from chestnuts.

And finally, some interesting facts about crocodiles that live in the great Nile River.

Did you know that the ancient Egyptians considered these animals sacred. The Egyptians thought that it was they who were responsible for the river floods, thanks to which people received rich harvests.

Nile crocodiles grow to enormous sizes. Up to five and a half meters long. Well, the weight of an adult crocodile can reach a whole ton. So, it would be better not to meet him in the Nile. It’s better to let the paper one stand on the shelf and please the eye.

Learning origami

An interesting technique for working with paper is origami, which is very voluminous and allows you not only to create interesting crafts, but also develops fine motor skills. For some children, crocodiles are dangerous animals, but if you make it out of paper, you will get a very cute toothy one. This does not require special skills, but just a certain amount of time. Children really like these crafts. And such a crocodile can be hung on the New Year tree. The child will be happy with such a toy, especially since it is made with his own hands. The design of the product is very simple, so even the smallest child can cope with this task.

What do we need to create such a crocodile?

green colored paper;
colored paper in black and white for eyes;
scissors;
glue;
pencil;
ruler.

We take green paper and start making folds to make eight parts. We get an accordion. Let's look at the photo to see how it should look.

Advice! Be sure to use a ruler. There is no need to rush, everything should come out evenly and equally. Use a ruler to measure the required distance for the bends.

We take scissors and cut in the area of the folds and get stripes. Now we bend six of them in the middle, and leave two untouched. We cut the bent strips. We take one strip and now cut it in half vertically.

From the resulting strips we now need to assemble our crocodile. The body of our craft consists of ten short strips. Apply a little glue to the edge of each strip. We wrap one strip into a ring, and insert the second one inside. In this way, we work with each strip until we use all ten. The crocodile's body is ready.

Now we take one strip, which is long, and insert it into one of the last rings. Glue the ends of this strip together as shown in the photo below. Then we make a cut along the bias to create a ponytail. Take the second long ribbon and insert it in the same way as the first time. We cut the last wide short strip vertically. We make eyes from one part; to do this, we bend it in half and round the ends. Glue them to the back of the long strip. We bend the eyes upward, and cut off the upper jaw a little on the sides. The lower jaw is slightly curved. We are left with two narrow stripes that will serve as paws. We bend them in the middle, vertically and then form the letter P, moving the legs a little to the side. We glue the legs to the lower part of the body, while directing them forward. We cut out ovals from white paper and glue them to the eyes, and form pupils from black paper. We also cut out a thin strip from white paper and draw teeth on it, which we glue to the lower jaw. Our craft is ready. Such a very fun pastime for children will certainly be loved by adults.

Garden crafts - crocodile master class. Sheep master class.

Garden crafts. Lamb. Crocodile.

Friends, today on our website you will see new works by Svetlana Antakova. Svetlana showed us how to make a crocodile from plastic bottles and a sheep from polyurethane foam. You have already seen her garden crafts on our website, they were a swan and a peacock.

Lamb.

We take plastic bottles of different sizes and make the body and legs of a sheep out of them, we will make the muzzle from a nylon bucket. Then secure everything well with tape.

Immediately make a tail from the wire and secure it to the frame. Prepare isolon (this is a backing for linoleum), cut it into strips. Now wrap the frame of the sheep with isolon, giving it the desired shape. You can wrap more, in order to save money, so that a lot of polyurethane foam is not wasted.

We will attach “hooves” to the sheep’s legs and apply the first layer of foam. Let it dry thoroughly.

Cut out ears from leather and glue them on with tape. Apply a second layer of foam. And leave until completely dry. A lot of foam is wasted. Svetlana used five cans of polyurethane foam, seven hundred milligrams each, for her sheep and lamb.

Now cut off the excess foam on the sheep’s face and give it the required shape. Since polyurethane foam is subject to destruction from the sun and rain, it must be painted or varnished.

Glue eyes with eyelashes on the sheep. You can hang a bell on the lamb.

So our curly sheep .

Crocodile.

This garden craft is more difficult to make.

Make the body from plastic bottles.

Secure everything with tape. Then wrap it with isolon. Don't forget to immediately make wire claws on your feet. Wrap the crocodile with green tape. Make eyes from tennis balls.

Cover the crocodile with green bottle plastic.

Add it to your activities when learning about the letters "A" or "K", rainforests and swamps, zoos, exotic animals, etc.

We know that some people prefer to use cardboard tubes left over from toilet paper for crafting. We made this alligator from a paper towel tube because we thought the toilet paper cylinder was too short. However, you can use a cardboard toilet paper cylinder if you don't mind that the crocodile will look a little short. We are sure that this does not matter to children at all!

Step-by-step master class

So, let's get to work. Waiting for us is a toothy, but cute cardboard crocodile.

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Cut the pipe into two sections - 10 cm and 18 cm. Set the 10 cm piece of pipe aside - you will no longer need it. But don't throw it away - you'll definitely need it for another project!

Step 2:Make the body

Divide the 18 cm piece of pipe into 3 equal sections.
Use scallop shears to cut a 4cm strip at one end of the tube. Repeat the same section symmetrically on the other side.
Then cut two more sections at the end of the pipe at a 45-degree angle, connecting them to the ends of the first two sections. This will create an open mouth.

Using regular scissors, cut lines at the opposite end of the tube that are symmetrical to the lines of the mouth. From the bottom side, cut the cardboard in a semicircle from one extreme point to the other along these lines (see photo above).

Step 3: Make the Paws

Take the piece of cardboard you just cut from the bottom of the tail. Level it on a flat surface.
Using a pencil and ruler, divide this piece into 4 equal parts. Cut it.
Cut out 3 neat fingers on these rectangles in a zigzag pattern.
Paint all the paws green with acrylic paint.

Step 4: Make the Teeth

Use scalloping scissors to shape the mouth shape and teeth. Cut so that both sides, angled and at the front edges, look like teeth.

Step 5: Paint the Alligator

Using a brush and green acrylic paint, paint your alligator completely.

When everything is dry, carefully paint your teeth white.

Step 6: Glue the Paws and Eyes

Add a small dot of glue to the flat end of each leg.
Attach the legs to the alligator's body from the underside.
Add glue eyes to the front of the animal, close to the teeth.
Use a black marker to draw the crocodile's nostrils.

A charming crocodile made of cardboard with your own hands is ready! There's no doubt that this cardboard alligator will bring a lot of fun to your kids!

If you liked this project and you like to make crafts with your children, we recommend that you watch our bonus video on making a crocodile from cardboard, as well as master classes on our website: voluminous paper figures, origami shark, paper house, minion bookmarks and many, many others!

From such a simple and affordable material as colored paper, you can make many interesting crafts. For example, you can use it to build a beautiful green alligator, which will be very similar to the real one. Use a different color of construction paper if desired.

Paper crocodile: step-by-step master class

It turns out that alligators can be very cute and charming. Now we are talking about paper crocodiles, not live ones. If you want to please your child and make something original out of paper, our step-by-step lesson will help you with this.

How to make a crocodile out of paper? Make it easier than ever! You will need colored green paper, scissors and glue. And of course, inspiration. To make teeth, take a strip of white paper.

We took a sheet of A4 size paper, you can take a larger or smaller sheet. Then we fold it as in the photo - bend it into even stripes. As you can see, we get 8 stripes. We recommend dividing the sheet into 8 parts in advance using a ruler and pencil.

We cut it along the lines, we get 8 elements.

Check out our post How to Make Paper Angels

We leave two long strips untouched; we need them for the head and tail. We cut one strip into two parts, one of the parts into two more thin strips. We need them for our legs. Cut the rest into two parts. We need all these halves to build the body of the crocodile.

As a result, we should have 2 long, 2 short and thin, 11 short stripes.

We make the body - glue one short strip along the edges and wait for the glue to dry. Then we put it on the second one and glue it too. We repeat according to the same principle. The body should consist of 10 stripes, leave one, we will need it later.

We fix one of the long strips at the end and glue it together. This will be our tail. We cut it to form an acute angle and bend it.

At the other end of the body we make a head from the second long strip as follows.

Let's start making the legs. We take two thin strips, fold them in the middle and at the ends. Glue them below, under the body.

From the remaining strip we make the eyes of the crocodile, draw eyes and nostrils.

To make the alligator look scary, don't forget to make teeth. We draw them on a strip of white paper and glue it to the mouth. Our colored crocodiles are ready!

How to make a paper crocodile

Paper has been and remains a popular material for creativity. The reason is its availability. In addition, even children can make paper crafts. Cutting out figures from a colored sheet and gluing them onto cardboard develops children's motor skills, which is important for further learning at school. More complex products, for example, a crocodile craft, which is easy to make from paper, are made by folding a sheet according to a certain pattern. Another option for making a reptile is to cut out individual paper parts and join them together by gluing.

By learning to make animal figurines, the baby, among other things, gets acquainted with the world around him. When doing a craft, tell a story or fairy tale for children about a crocodile - this will make it more interesting for your child to work with paper.

So, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the craft using the origami technique and make two voluminous reptiles in different ways.

We make a paper crocodile craft with our own hands in MK

For this craft you will need a sheet of colored paper. It is not necessary to take double-sided material; a regular sheet from a creativity kit will do. Or you can practice on a white A4 sheet using office paper for printing.

A square is cut out of the material and the sheet begins to fold. A detailed diagram helps not to get confused.

There are 30 steps in total. But the result is worth it - the figure turns out voluminous and realistic. If you can’t handle so many actions, we offer another origami diagram. It is somewhat simpler and includes only 12 steps. Along it, the crocodile is folded from a rectangular blank.

In addition to the reptile, add other animal figures - elephant, monkey, lion, rhinoceros, tiger. This way you will have a whole zoo, and you will captivate your little one for a long time with an interesting and useful activity.

The next craft is more complex; the result will be a voluminous, toothy predator. In order to make it you need:

A4 colored paper (double-sided), it is not necessary to use green, crocodiles can be in other bright colors;
a sheet of white paper;
glue stick for paper;
scissors;
felt-tip pen or marker.

Creating a crocodile consists of 7 stages.

The colored paper is folded in half and then folded in half two more times (along the short side). Having unfolded the sheet, we get seven fold lines, cutting along which it has eight identical strips.
We leave two of them unchanged, and cut six in half. As a result, we get two long and 12 short. We cut one of the short strips in half, reducing its width by half.

We use ten short wide strips for the body of the crocodile. Gluing them together with a “chain”, we form the body of a reptile.

One of the long strips will serve as a tail. We insert it into the body chain and glue it together.

The muzzle is also made of a long strip. The paper is inserted into the ring of the body, but does not stick together. To give it a believable shape, the strip is bent at an obtuse angle. As a result, the muzzle takes on the shape of a trapezoid. All that remains is to make the eyes. The last wide strip is used. Folding it in half lengthwise and cutting along the fold line, we get two short ones. We fold one of them in half and cut it slightly rounded. Having cut it, glue the strip to the muzzle. The glue should not be applied to the entire strip; some of the paper will bend.

Drug "crocodile"

“Krokodil” is made from codeine-containing drugs, which until recently could be purchased freely at any pharmacy. Typically, heroin addicts who have exhausted all their financial resources and the resources of their families switch to using it.

This substance is produced in an artisanal way, dependence on it develops at a rapid pace, and usually codeine addicts do not live longer than one year. So, having started taking “crocodile”, they open up a one-way road for themselves.

Why is the “crocodile” scary?

This designer synthetic drug got its name due to the fact that the outer layers of a person’s soft tissue undergo dramatic changes - the areas around the injections begin to become rough and peel, the skin comes off in scales, this makes it similar to the skin of amphibians.

It is unlikely that a person in his right mind would agree to inject this explosive death into his vein, which is why the victims of the “crocodile” are usually neglected heroin addicts who no longer care about their own health, for whom the thirst for a new dose has become the only goal in life.

Needless to say, all these highly toxic elements not intended for human consumption quickly lead to death. In the best case, a codeine addict will live no more than 1 year, but more often his life ends after 4-6 months - the body simply cannot stand it.

If a drug addict regularly uses “krokodil” for 3-4 months, then there is no turning back for him and the most brilliant narcologist will not save him. If a person has just started using (no more than 1-1.5 months ago), then he can cope with addiction, but not on his own, but with the help of modern medicine and doctors.

Unfortunately, the victims of the “crocodile” are not only heroin addicts, but also completely normal teenagers who find themselves in bad company. Parents should know the signs that will indicate this new scary hobby for their child. Anyone who uses “crocodile” will be issued with:

- Red eyes.

- Pupils are too narrow, even in a dark room.

— Problems falling asleep, insomnia.

- Dramatic weight loss, but normal appetite.

— A strong decrease in the body’s resistance to external infections, frequent colds.

— Emotional swing.

- Aggression.

- Lack of interest in life.

— Already mentioned above, injection marks are non-healing erosions in the area of veins on the arms or legs.

— Frequent requests for money without explanation.

— A persistent odor of solvent or gasoline emanating from a person.

How does "crocodile" work?

The human body is not designed to process gasoline. Toxic compounds after the first injections literally burn out the inner wall of the vein , the healing process begins at the site of the burns - connective tissue is formed, narrowing the lumen of the veins and, of course, disrupting blood flow.

In addition to constant erosion, injection sites suffer from necrosis (tissue death) and ulcers. The person begins, without exaggeration, to rot alive - in neglected drug addicts, the soft tissue of the forearm can simply fall off, exposing bones and tendons.

Since “crocodile” is prepared in completely unsanitary conditions, drug addicts often get blood poisoning , and bacteria can form ulcers in many internal organs at once. Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death in codeine addicts.

Making a simple crocodile from a box in green

An interesting idea is to make a green reptile from a cardboard box. There is no need to make a special preparation; a toothpaste box will be used. In addition to this, you will need paper (white and green), cardboard (pink and green), PVA glue, a ruler and scissors.

At the first stage, the side panel covering it is cut off on one side of the box. The box is covered with paper to match the color of the reptile's skin.
A triangular tail is made from cardboard, which is installed in the closed side of the box. If the cardboard is painted on one side, you need to make two parts that are fixed together with glue.
Next, the mouth is performed. For it, semicircular parts are cut out of green and pink cardboard, teeth are prepared from white paper, which are assembled together and fixed on the open side of the box.
All that remains is to cut out and glue the paws and comb from thick cardboard.
Finally, we attach the crocodile’s eyes.
