Outside the window, autumn has already come and everything around has begun to take cover with beautiful multi-colored fallen leaves. And while the rain has not turned this beauty into a wet porridge - it's time to get creative! Especially if your kid came from a kindergarten or school with the task of making crafts on an autumn theme.

Make fall crafts with kids natural materials can be from anything - leaves, cones, acorns, chestnuts. It can be applications or any interesting figures. I present unique step by step master classes- how to make do-it-yourself autumn crafts with a photo.

Do-it-yourself autumn wreath of acorns "Breath of Autumn"

Bright autumn colors sink into the soul for a long time. Let's create autumn wreath from acorns with their own hands to extend autumn mood. Made on the basis of natural materials, it will look even more interesting.

DIY autumn wreath of acorns

Do-it-yourself autumn wreath of acorns will become original and stylish decoration any interior.

Autumn craft with leaves "Pear on a plate"

A herbarium of leaves collected in the fall is a whole wealth and raw material for children's crafts. There are a lot of options for using such natural material. Because to practice creative pursuits to create unusual figurines with children is a must, we offer you interesting idea for creativity.

Only work with dried and fragile material should be very careful.

Practicing such activities, children will eventually independently learn to think creatively and notice the amazing features of natural objects.

If the soul wants something original, we suggest creating an autumn flower arrangement. Namely - the bouquet "Autumn mood".

The product consists of two elements - a vase and flowers.

For flowers we need:

• leaves of different sizes and colors;
• glue gun;
• wire or thin twigs (for the stem);
• scissors, pliers (for wire).

Be careful with the glue gun if you are doing leaf crafts with your child. It is better to entrust the baby to select the leaves, arrange them by color, cut them and serve to you.

As it turned out, more realistic roses (green flower) come out of leaves with slightly curved edges. Try to wrap the edges of the leaves to avoid protruding petals. Large leaves can be cut in half. For a rose 8-10 cm in diameter, you will need 15-20 leaf fragments 5-6 cm in size.

Working process:

1. We take the wire, bend the edge.

2. We begin to form a rose from leaves and their fragments. We wrap the first sheet around the eye of the wire and fix it well with glue. We continue to glue the leaves in a circle, filling free places.

3. The bottom row is the sepal. Take 5 leaves small size and contrasting colors. Glue in a circle, thereby closing all the "insides" of the flower. The photo shows red small leaves under the green petals - this is the sepal.

4. The stem of the finished flower can be wrapped with floral tape and tied a few leaves to the stem. If you are using twigs, then just glue a couple of leaves along the stem of the flower. Autumn rose is ready.

To form a beautiful bouquet, you will need several flowers - 3,5,7. Try to make them different in color and size. This will make it look more colorful. You can enter several buds into the composition. They will help fill in the empty spaces in the flower arrangement.

Vase for autumn bouquet

For a themed vase, you will need any small bottle (glass or plastic), twine, a couple of acorns or hazelnuts. And, of course, a glue gun or any other glue. We wrap the bottle with a thread, periodically fixing the result with glue. We cling nuts or acorns to a small piece of twine with glue. We tie the result on a vase.

If you had a bottle big size, you can decorate it with an application of halves of a nut shell or even from any cereal. Let your child figure out how to decorate the vase. Direct his imagination in the right direction.

Now you can form a beautiful bouquet of flowers and put it in a vase. It will be more convenient if the height of the stem of each flower is different. You can fill the space in several tiers.

Such crafts from autumn leaves can become not only an original decoration of any interior, but will also help you win at any school exhibition.

Nature itself suggests thousands of ideas. You do not need to be an experienced craftsman to create a unique decoration filled with warmth and care for your home with your own hands. And the kids are happy to participate in the creative process and make amazing crafts on a par with adults. Master class - how to make one - read here.

Why not make a hedgehog with a child from a cone and plasticine? Autumn multi-colored leaves will give the work special colors.

Encyclopedias say that hedgehogs live in forests and parks, but sometimes they can also be found in village yards. Spiny animals make nests in woodpile. At night, individual daredevils or a full-fledged family go out in search of food.

Quietly rustling dried greens in the beds. At dusk, the direction of the hunters is clearly visible. Hedgehogs do not worry that the owners of the yard see their movement. As a rule, quiet and harmless neighbors are not driven away, sometimes they are even fed with milk.

What does a hedgehog eat? Insects, slugs, mice. This means that it is beneficial to keep such an animal for those who are engaged in gardening.

Such a cute hedgehog turned out from a cone. As a decor, you can decorate the thorns with plasticine or a real small apple, and put the hero himself on a carpet of autumn maple leaves. A detailed master class - how to do this - read here.

By the way, hedgehogs are considered fast animals. They are capable of speeds up to 3 m/s. At the same time, spiny animals jump and swim perfectly.

The resulting hedgehog, unlike the real one, can be safely picked up. He will not hiss, and curl up into a ball, warning of danger. This hero will not run away from the little owner anywhere, but will safely stand all autumn and even winter. A hedgehog from a cone does not hibernate. He is ready to meet winter and New Year holidays with children.

How to make a toy autumn goddess out of fabric

Doing something with your own hands is so entertaining and interesting. Well, if it also turns out beautifully, then there is simply no price for such toys. You will come to an exhibition of products made by your own hands, and your eyes will simply run wide. Let's try to reveal some of the secrets of the masters and consider the method of making the goddess of Autumn, which can be presented to children or hung on the wall in your home.

So, we need: acrylic paints for fabric (with gold and silver jars), a set of brushes, cotton fabric, filler, thread with a needle.

Step one. Making a layout

In the layout, we have to figure out how our toy will look like. At this stage, we make an initial sketch, then a pattern, sew the parts together.

Our autumn is sewn from a single piece of material. It is only necessary to separately make her legs and one arm (the arm is cut out from another piece of fabric and sewn on top of the product). When all this is ready, it is necessary to fill the toy with cotton wool or other material and sew up all the holes.

Step two. Time for creativity

Now we have to draw our autumn goddess. You can completely repeat the drawing of the finished product, which will be given below. In any case, orange, gold, yellow and red colors should be used, because autumn is rich in these colors.

In the hands of our autumn is a big tambourine, it seems to convene the whole world so that people, animals and animals rejoice at the last warm days. Next, you need to paint the toy (in order for the paint to hold better, you can apply PVA glue to the fabric).

Step three. Decorate our toy

You can decorate our beauty endlessly. After all, autumn is unique. You can glue a bead to it, add sparkles - whatever your heart desires. Look how beautiful autumn we have turned out. It's expensive to watch.

DIY autumn goddess

Physalis in pumpkin

Autumn bouquets can be made not only from fresh flowers, but also from branches of oak with acorns, sea buckthorn, barberry, wild rose, viburnum, elderberry, mountain ash, wild grapes, bright lanterns of physalis, ears of corn, etc.

Such compositions look great in a pumpkin vase, wicker basket, tin bucket, earthenware jug. The vessel can be decorated with ears of corn, decorated with ribbon.

will-o'-the-wisps

Acorns, birch bark, physalis, hawthorn berries, small decorative pumpkins will help to decorate candles in the autumn style. Simple thick candles can be wrapped in birch bark or inserted into small pumpkins where the top has been cut off and some of the pulp removed. Glass candlesticks will look original and festive if painted with stained-glass window paints.

If you drill holes in a thick branch according to the size of candles, decorate with small pumpkins, cones and berries, then original candlestick ready for home.

september wreath

For mood, you can weave a wreath on the wall or front door. Flexible branches are suitable for its base. Bet on a vine, straw or wire clothes hanger, curved in the shape of a circle. Hook received. Decor elements are best presented with leaves, hop cones, herbal panicles, tree branches, vines, acorns, mountain ash. In any case, it is convenient to attach to the base with a thermal gun (an alternative fixation is with a thin wire).

Decorate the wreath in an autumnal way, since there is plenty of natural material - bright leaves, thin branches, grapevine balls, etc. Or you can hang the leaves from the frame. An old lampshade or a wooden staircase is suitable for it.

Falling leaves on the couch

What could be nicer than a cup of fragrant tea, drunk on the couch with soft pillows and a warm fleece blanket? In textiles, it is better to use soft velvety fabrics of autumn colors (brown-red, bright orange, burgundy, marsala, terracotta, muted green), prints in the form of leaves, vegetables, autumn flowers.

Decor in the form of autumn leaves is convenient to carve out of thick fabric and stitch to the background in a zigzag pattern. If the leaves are made of felt and the edges do not need additional processing, you can sew them onto the pillowcase with a regular seam - this will give volume and help create a planned composition.

Frame of acorns

Cover the passe-partout with felt thick cardboard, decorate it with a bouquet of small decorative elements in autumn style: apples, acorn caps, felt leaves, berries, etc. The bouquet can be made removable, attach a pin to it and use it as a brooch.

Offer the children to paste over the cardboard frame with acorn caps, insert a dense piece of plain cardboard or a burlap background inside, paste a beautiful leaf or any other gift of nature.

And what about the holiday table?

Use autumn motifs in serving. Make napkin clips in the form of an oak bouquet: felt leaves, acorn caps with a soft colored "nut". Mossy twigs can be gathered into a ring and garnished with half a walnut. Do not forget to make small bouquets of oak leaves and berries.

The yellow and red leaves can be used as napkins for plates or to decorate dishes. Let autumn bring bright colors and comfort to your home!

Interesting ideas - how to make autumn crafts

Children's crafts from natural materials: 25 ideas and step-by-step workshops for preschool and primary school children.

Children's crafts from natural materials

In this article, you will find more than 25 ideas for making crafts with children from natural materials (leaves, branches, seeds, chestnuts, acorns, vegetables, and others) in different techniques. All master classes from this article have been prepared for you by readers of the Native Path, participants in the competition.

Craft 1: Maple Leaf Roses

This craft was sent to our competition by Anna Baranova and her daughter Lera and Lera's teacher from the kindergarten garden MBDOU No. 3 "Ryabinka" (junior group), Inza Ulyanovsk region. And also Khabibullina Liliya Rustyamovna (MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of the combined type" of the Moscow district of Kazan) and Davletberdina Malik (5 years old).

Material for manufacturing:
- maple leaves of bright colors (orange, yellow, red),
- branches with viburnum berries,
- harsh threads to form a bouquet of roses,
- golden hairspray to strengthen and strengthen the bouquet (optional),
- a few strong branches to strengthen the bouquet of roses.

How to make a bouquet of roses from maple leaves:

Preparation for making crafts: We collect suitable leaves of various colors. We need large enough, not too dry and whole leaves. Too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are not suitable for making a bouquet. For the manufacture of one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.

Step 1. Take one maple leaf, hold it with the petiole towards you and fold it in half front side out. Then we twist it into a tight roll - a tube. This will be the "core of the rose", that is, the middle of the flower.

Step 2. Now, around this "core" of the flower, we begin to lay the "petals". We take another maple leaf, hold it also - with the petiole towards us - and put the prepared core-tube on it closer to the petiole in the middle of the leaf. Front side the leaf should be inside the future flower. The sheet is very carefully bent outward in half. The edge of the inflection of the "petal" is located above the "core" by a centimeter and a half. Smooth out the fold of the sheet.

And now we bend this protruding edge of the sheet outward again, but the fold is no longer smoothed out. We try not to compress the fold and keep it elastic.

Step 3. We take the next maple leaf and make the second petal on the other side of our middle - the tubes. Continue on until you get a rose flower. Each time you need to take a maple leaf a little larger than the previous one.

Step 4. Having decorated the flower, wrap the base tightly with threads. A strong thin twig can be tightly tied to the base to give the flower strength.

Step 5. Having collected a bouquet of several roses and decorated it with viburnum sprigs, you must again tightly wrap all the branches with threads, collecting them in a bouquet.

How many flowers will be in your bouquet - you decide. We evenly arrange the prepared leaves in a circle, placing them under the buds in the hand. Then we fix the now ready-made bouquet at its base with the same threads.

Here is our autumn bouquet roses from maple leaves and ready!

Step 6. To give strength, beauty and shine, you can sprinkle the finished roses with golden hairspray. But this is optional.

Another version of the design of such a bouquet of maple leaves was made by the family of Kasanova Margarita (5 years old), Kazan, MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of a combined type" of the Moscow region of Kazan. Teacher – Kalmykova Olga Dmitrievna

Craft 2: corn

This craft was sent to our competition "Autumn Workshop" by the teacher Rim Elena Anatolyevna (GBOU of the city of Moscow "School No. 166" Structural unit No. 7). And Yulia Terekhina (5 years old), a pupil of Elena Anatolyevna, completed the cornbread.

How to make the craft "Corn:

Step 1. Prepare corn cobs (large, medium and small), cardboard base for crafts, hot glue, fern leaves, fir cones, acorns, leaves, nuts, cereals (barley), decorations for corn (bows, hats, beads, eyes etc.)

Step 2. Form characters from corn on the cob.

Step 3. Arrange Cornflowers on a cardboard base and decorate the surface with waste material. The craft is ready! Good luck!

Craft 3: autumn forest.

This craft was sent to our competition by Kazakova Anna Yurievna. And Anna's four-year-old son Maxim performed it in drawing classes under the guidance of a teacher Alexandra Vladimirovna (club " Happy childhood”, a drawing circle for children “Kalyaka-Malyaka”, Yoshkar-Ola).

Craft 4: Old Man Lesovichok

This craft was sent by the teacher Fedorova Tatyana Vladimirovna from the city of Birsk (Bashkortostan), MADOU Kindergarten No. 8 "Alyonushka". It was made by a child from the group of Tatyana Vladimirovna ( senior group) with the help of a teacher.

DIY material: larch needles and cones, plasticine. All parts of the woodsman made of natural materials are fastened together with plasticine.

Craft 5: Application "Hedgehog"

This hedgehog was made and sent to our autumn competition children's creativity Sofia (5 years old) and her mother Anna Shikhareva.

Material for making crafts- pine needles, felt, pine cone, cardboard and PVA glue.

If you prefer not an application, but a voluminous hedgehog, then it can be easily made with children from a piece of plasticine, dried chestnut skin and cut cotton buds. But this is really a prickly hedgehog, so be careful. Such a hedgehog was made by Yulia Romanovna Ruzaeva and her daughter (2 years 8 months) from St. Petersburg. And you will find another craft by Yulia and her daughter “Giraffe from chestnuts and acorns” in the master class in the article

Craft 6. Hedgehog from piaflora and natural materials

And here is another hedgehog in a different manufacturing technology. It was made and sent to us by Mironets Anna Vladimirovna (mother) and her son Maxim (4 years 9 months) from the Komi Republic, Syktyvkar.

We need to make crafts:- piaflor, - dried leaves of mountain ash, gooseberry, shadberry, - dried flowers, - hairspray.

Description of the craft:

Step 1. Take half of the piaflora brick and cut out the body of a hedgehog from it (it will resemble a droplet in shape). Sharp corners must be smoothed out with your hands. Piaflor does not need to be soaked.

Step 2. Divide the dried rowan leaves into separate leaf plates, which are then inserted into the piaflor (in the body of the hedgehog).

Step 3 Hedgehog ears can be made from dried gooseberry leaves. And we will make paws from dried leaves of irgi.

Step 4 Fold the leaf cuttings several times. We make eyes and a nose out of them.

Step 6. Fix our craft with hairspray. Here's a hedgehog you get.

Craft 7. Caterpillar and chestnut hedgehog

This craft was made and sent to us at our "Autumn workshop for children's crafts" by children of 4 years old together with their teacher Tegaeva Olga Nikolaevna (Moscow region, Sergiev Posad district, Shemetovo village, Novy microdistrict, MGBOU d / s No. 75 "Fairy Tale")

To make crafts you will need:

chestnuts,
- moss,
- branch cut
- acorn hat
- tree leaf,
- plasticine.

How to make a caterpillar and a hedgehog from chestnuts:

- We dry the chestnuts to make it easier to separate the prickly peel from the nut.

- While the chestnut nuts are not completely dry, we pierce them with an awl on both sides and insert matches without heads into the resulting holes (glue the matches on glue for reliability).

- We form a caterpillar. To do this, we select the nuts by size, starting from the largest to the smallest.

- We glue an acorn hat on the head of the caterpillar.

- We make caterpillar eyes from plasticine and attach them.

- Glue the caterpillar on the stump.

- Now we make a hedgehog from plasticine, and we make its prickly back from chestnut peel.

- On the spines of the hedgehog we put a maple leaf ironed through sheets of white paper.

- Lay out the moss.

Here is such a hedgehog - a caterpillar friend - you will succeed.

Craft 8. A basket of cones

This craft was made by Polina Durnova (9 years old, Samara, school 118, 4B class), Maxim Durnov (2 years old) with her mother Durnova Svetlana from Samara, Krasnaya Glinka village. At first, Svetlana and her children tried to make a basket of cones according to the description on the Internet using a glue gun, but ... a day later the resulting basket lost its shape and “went” in different directions. Therefore, Svetlana came up with her own technology for making a basket of cones.

How to make a basket of cones:

Step 1. Go to the forest, collect a lot of cones.

Helpful Hints:

- If you want to make a strong basket that will serve you for a long time, then you need to take into account such a possible fact: closed cones open in a warm room. And this is undesirable if by this time you have already woven a basket. Therefore, it is recommended to cover the cones with a liquid solution of wood glue.

- The strongest connection of cones in a basket is a wire connection Brown color(in the color of the cones, so that it is less noticeable). To do this, we wrap the first cone with wire, then we continue to wind the cones around the wire in a circle, wrapping each of them. We do this until we get a circle of the desired size. So we make 2 - 3 rings. And then we connect them into a frame. Connect the cones to the basket using a glue gun. But further in the next steps you need to fix this design.

Step 2 Using a thin wire, fasten three rings, then connect them into a single basket design and screw the handle on top. Cones for the handle are also wrapped with thin wire and then wired to the thick base of the handle or thick wire.

Step 3. Put on the bottom of the resulting structure cardboard circle. Put rowan branches with berries and spruce cones in a basket. It will turn out a beautiful autumn composition.

Craft 9: Autumn Ship

Autumn is the time of multi-colored ships made of leaves, which set off on a voyage known only to them through the endless airspace. The main thing is that the wind is favorable. It's time to make your autumn ship.

This ship was made and sent to our autumn workshop of children's crafts Matveeva Svetlana Nikolaevna (Liski, Voronezh region) together with her son (the child's age is 3 years 8 months).

To make crafts - a ship from natural materials, you will need:

- plastic food tray

- a few leaves that can be found on the street (it is better that at least three leaves of them are large sizes- we use them for the sail),

- a stick for a sail with a length of 20 to 30 centimeters,

- a few thin sticks for making pens,

- plasticine of different colors,

- colored paper

- glue stick,

- a few cones ate,

- parachute seeds of maple or ash-shaped maple (optional, optional)

How to make a craft - a boat from natural materials:

Step 1. Making the torso and head of the sailors. The body of the sailors will be cones. From pieces of plasticine we sculpt eyes, a mouth and noses, which we attach them to the cones so that we get the faces of the sailors.

Step 2. We make peakless caps for sailors - cones.

For this:

- Using caps of various diameters, we draw circles on colored paper - the future caps of our sailors (choose the diameter of the circle of a suitable size).

- Cut out circles.

- From paper of a different color, we cut out several thin strips based on one circle, two strips each (the length is arbitrary, but it should be borne in mind that these will be peakless ribbons, so do not overdo it with the length).

- Glue two stripes to each peakless mug close to each other.

- In the center of each capless circle, glue a piece of plasticine the size of one or two beans.

- We fasten these caps to the tops of our cones - sailors have caps.

Step 3. We make the arms and legs of the sailors.

- Determine where your sailors will have their hands and glue a couple of pieces of plasticine there, to which you attach small thin sticks - these will be the sailors' hands.

- The legs are made of plasticine. The shape of the legs should resemble flippers so that the bump stands and does not fall in our ship. To make legs, we sculpt “sausages” from pieces of plasticine the size of a walnut - small but thick, and then we flatten them and attach them to the bottom of our cones.

The sailors are ready.

Step 4. Making the sails. With a large stick we make holes in several big leaves, and stretch the latter through this stick to get several sails on one mast. The joints of the leaves with each other can be glued a little with plasticine, then the leaves will not slide down on top of each other and fall down.

At the top of the mast we placed a basket of ash maple helicopters. To do this, we simply stuck around a piece of plasticine with these helicopters, dividing them into single seed plates, and then this piece of plasticine was glued to the top of the mast. However, such a “basket” is not necessary if you have seeds - there are no “helicopters”.

Step 5. Attach the mast to the base of the ship.

To attach the mast to the ship from a plastic tray, we glue a piece of plasticine a little smaller than a walnut to the tray approximately in its middle (do not spare the plasticine, we need the mast to hold tight). We insert our mast into it. For better mast attachment, you can stretch the plasticine a little along the trunk of our mast.

In the tray-ship, place our sailors in empty places, slightly pressing their flippers-legs to the bottom so that they stick and hold firmly on the deck. Leaves can be glued onto pieces of plasticine along the sides of the ship different trees and / or colors, but this is not necessary - see for yourself how you like it best. It is also optional to make a dragon head on the bow of your ship.

The nose of the ship can be anything, but we made a plasticine dinosaur head and attached it to the nose of our ship.

The autumn ship is ready and can go to any fairy tale that you want to compose with your child!

Craft 10. Picture for the fairy tale by V. Suteev "Under the mushroom" from natural materials

This craft for staging Suteev’s fairy tale “Under the Mushroom” was made together with the teacher by four-year-old children: Mochalova Katerina, Kuchieva Adel, Krupennikov Kolya, Sbudyshev Vlad, Akhtemenchuk Anatoly and Mukhantseva Yana. Teacher - Denisova Svetlana Alexandrovna. Children go to Kindergarten MADOU d / s No. 2 "Karamelka" ShchMR MO in the city of Shchelkovo, Moscow Region.

Preparatory stage: watching the cartoon "Fungus-Teremok", reading the fairy tale by V. Suteev “Under the mushroom”.

Materials for making crafts based on a fairy tale from natural materials:

- pine cones, spruce

- plasticine

- wire

- mushroom toy

- basis for crafts

- maple, rowan leaves

- corrugated paper

- scissors

- PVA glue

- pine branch

- matches

- Cork

Step-by-step instructions for making crafts:

Step 1. We prepare the base.

We paste over the A4 size box with green corrugated paper. On this paper we glue maple leaves, ironed in advance through sheets of white paper.

Step 2 We make trees - scenery.

We take a piece of plasticine, roll up the ball and crush it until we get a round cake. On this cake with a branch up, we insert a mountain ash leaf, ironed in advance through a sheet of paper. You can also insert into the "cake" and a pine branch. Such trees adorn our base.

Step 3 We attach a large mushroom.

In the middle of the base we attach the finished mushroom - either on plasticine or on glue.

Step 4. D we eat the main characters of the fairy tale (ant, butterfly, sparrow, hare, fox).

All heroes are made of cones and plasticine.

How to mold fairy-tale characters from cones and plasticine:

Ant:

We take a fir cone. The narrow tip of the cone is pulled out with brown plasticine. Eyes made of black plasticine are attached to the "head" of the ant. Paws can be made of wire, attaching them evenly throughout the cone with plasticine. We make the antennae of the ant from 2 matches without heads.

Sparrow:

the toy is created from a pine cone, eyes - from two small corks, paws - from three matches (attached to plasticine). The beak and tail are made using plasticine: attach the plasticine to the cone and pull it into the desired shape.

Butterfly:

A butterfly can be created from a fir cone by attaching two multi-colored circles of corrugated paper to it using wire. To do this, a hole is pierced in the paper (from the edge of the circle closest to the bump), a wire is threaded into the resulting hole and the wing is attached to the component of the bump. The same action must be done from the other end. The head of a butterfly can be made of plasticine by attaching it to the toy's body from the narrow side of the cone.

Hare: the toy consists of a fir cone and blue plasticine. Paws, ears and head are molded from plasticine. We also make eyes from platinum of a different color.

Fox: Fox is easy to make. We need a fir cone and orange plasticine. The muzzle of the fox is molded from an orange plasticine sausage, stretched out in the shape of a fox's nose. A black nose is attached to the muzzle.

Step 5 We make a composition according to a fairy tale.

Let's put the heroes under the mushroom. Attach the butterfly in the corner to the base of the composition.

We wish you creative fantasies and imagination, and then you will get your own fairy tale!

Craft 11. Caterpillar from apples

How to make a caterpillar: the body of the caterpillar is made up of apples. We make legs from earplugs (sold in a pharmacy). To fasten the parts, wooden toothpicks are used. Decorates the craft with a shell from a grape snail.

Another option for making caterpillars from apples was sent to us from the city of Kungur in the Perm Territory (MADOU "Kindergarten No. 6"). This caterpillar was made by Kulyashova Arina, 6 years old. Teachers: Zueva Tatyana Vladimirovna, Karaguzheva Rufina Viktorovna.

How else can you make a caterpillar out of apples: option 2.

The eyes are made of red rowan and are also held on by toothpicks. Caterpillar put on instead of a hat beautiful flower, hooked it on herself with a toothpick and went to the fair.

Here is such a cheerful caterpillar made from natural materials by Arina.

Craft 12. A cheerful family of acorns

This and the following three crafts made from natural materials were made with children by Alexandra Albertovna Naumkina together with her son Vanya (4 years old) and daughter Masha (1 year 3 months), Barnaul, Altai Territory. Here is what Alexandra writes:

You will need to make crafts:

- a piece of a branch or tree bark,

- acorns

- black marker

- glue gun or Moment glue.

How to make a fun family from natural materials:

Step 1. Draw faces.

She showed her son how to draw a face on the stomach. Gave him permanent marker and acorns and left him. Here are such bizarre faces turned out.

Step 2. We glue the hats to our little men.

We glued the hats on Moment glue.

Step 3. We attach the family.

But with gluing to the bark, I had to tinker. I smeared the bark with Moment glue. Substitute something rectangular at the back to hold the craft while gluing, place the acorns on the bark and leave them to stick.

Please note: only an adult can work with Moment glue without the presence of children in a well-ventilated area, because. he is toxic. Instead of glue, you can use a safe glue gun, an adult also works with it.

Everything! The happy family is ready.

Craft 13. Interior craft "Autumn branch"

We got a beautiful interior craft. My son made it himself. The main thing is that it is done very simply.

Step 1. We found more interesting branches in the forest and brought them home.

Step 2 Dried the leaves in the books between the pages.

Step 4. Then we decided to complete our composition and make owls out of plasticine and place them on autumn branches.

To do this, we took cones, maple seeds ("helicopters") for wings and plasticine.

I made the first owl, the second was made by my son.

Attached them to the branches on plasticine, they hold well.

Such a beautiful composition now decorates our house! And, most importantly, this craft is very easy to make.

Another option for making an autumn branch was sent to us by Natalya Oshueva (Balashikha) and her son Vanya Oshuev (3 years 8 months).

Craft 14: Hedgehogs from cones and salt dough

Alexandra Naumkina shared with us her experience of making hedgehogs with her son.

Step 1. We kneaded the salty dough together with our son. He loves baking so much that he kneads all the dough himself, and I only tell him what to take and in what proportion.

Salt dough recipe (proportions): wheat flour - 2 cups, fine salt - 1 cup, water - 3/4 cups. The finished dough should not crumble and stick to your hands.

Step 2. Blinded two hedgehogs together: mother and baby. Here I have already given the final shape. We stuck the cones and put the oven in the oven.

Step 3. The next day (after the hedgehogs have cooled down), we painted them with gouache paint. But if you need hedgehogs for a more durable period, then it is better to use acrylic paints. They molded the nose from plasticine and glued the eyes.

We just studied with my son, so the son was so carried away by modeling mushrooms from plasticine that he stuck many different mushrooms for hedgehogs himself.

Craft 15: Autumn Leaf Mobile

for the development of speech breathing in children

This handicraft from natural materials was also made by Naumkina Alexandra Albertovna for her children - Vanya (4 years old) and Masha (1 year 3 months). This family lives in the city of Barnaul, Altai Territory.

Children's crafts from natural materials "on the go"

It is not necessary to make a complex children's craft. Many crafts from natural material can be made on the go, without preparation. They can be used as quickly created attributes for children's games. Oshueva Natalya Mikhailovna (Balashikha) shared her ideas with us. Here are some very simple crafts she did with her son Vanya at the age of a child of 3 years 8 months and with her daughter Masha (1 year 4 months).

wreath of leaves

We collect a lot of leaves on a walk, string them on a wire. We connect the ends of the wire and get an autumn wreath of leaves. We hang the wreath by a rope. We also decorate the rope with leaves.

leaf crown

The crown is very easy to make.

Step 1. A blank was made from paper - a “hoop” according to the size of the child’s head, about 5 cm wide.

Step 2. We glued double-sided tape on top, and then my daughter glued leaves on it.

autumn trees

Natalya writes: “For the quick production of autumn trees, we used rolls from toilet paper and corrugated paper, cut into strips. The children pushed the paper inside the roll as they could. In the end, it turned out well for us, bright and autumnal.

You can also place autumn branches and autumn leaves collected on a walk in a roll.

Pumpkins from cones

In this craft, we used fluffy wire. They took a bump, wrapped it with orange fluffy wire. Further, leaves of green fluffy wire were attached to it. To make green spring leaves, we first wound the wire around a pencil, then removed it from the pencil and got green spirals.

Hedgehog

For crafting a hedgehog, we used an eaten sunflower.

- The muzzle and body were cut out of foam. This is best done in advance by adults.

- From above, the muzzle was covered with plasticine.

- “Needles” - a sunflower was glued to the foam with glue using a hot gun.

- Decorated a meadow for a hedgehog with autumn leaves and cones.

To create this beautiful tree, we needed:

4. Masking tape
5. Strong rope
6. Strong stick
7.Natural buds
8. Spruce needles
9. Rowan branches
10. Wolf white berries
11. Fallen leaves
Cooking steps:
We crumple the newspaper, give it the shape of a ball. Then, in order for the ball to keep its shape, we wrap it with masking tape (for more durable work, I wrapped it with a rope). Now we need to attach a branch to our ball. To do this, we cut a small hole in the ball, 2-3 cm deep, smear the branch with glue and insert it. When the glue dries, we begin to glue the ball. We will glue the cones first (they must be well dried, because if the cones are wet, they will not stick). Then we will glue the leaves. Next, you can glue rowan branches, fir branches, wolfberries and any other decorations suitable for our autumn theme. Then we prepare the solution in unnecessary dishes and pour it into a planter with a tree. In order for the solution to dry, you need to wait about two hours. After we have made sure that the solution has hardened, we proceed to decorate the pots. We cover the surface of the solution with spruce twigs, cones and anything. So our bright tree is ready!

To answer

Autumn gives us a lot of materials for creativity. These are leaves of various colors, and chestnuts, and dried flowers, and acorns, and a decorative miniature pumpkin.

But, before you start making souvenirs from them, you need to properly prepare them, namely, dry them and, if necessary, varnish or paint them.

If you make crafts from unprepared raw materials, then this will be a short-lived product.

As soon as the material dries on its own, the souvenir will lose its shape and will have to be thrown away. And besides this, half-baked leaves can simply rot or become moldy.

Therefore, let's start by drying our autumn finds.

Let's prepare the leaves for the herbarium as follows:

1 way:

Put them between the book sheets and put them back on the shelf, pressing the other books firmly on the side. After about a week and a half, the leaves will become suitable for crafts.

This method is the best because natural color leaves do not change and then they do not break for a long time.

2 way:

This method is good if you do not have the strength to endure a week and a half and want to quickly get to work. Place the sheet between two white sheets of paper and iron on the lowest setting.

In this case, the yellow and red leaves retain their color, but the green ones can darken and become an ugly, brown hue.

We dry chestnuts, acorns and decorative pumpkin.

1 way:

Dry outdoors in the shade. It will be necessary to wait quite a long time before these materials acquire the dryness we need.

Sometimes this process takes a month. This is especially true of decorative pumpkins, from which wonderful autumn DIY crafts come out.

You will see for yourself when the moment of readiness of the gifts of autumn comes. Acorns and chestnuts will become lighter, and the pumpkin will become like a rattle, as the cavity inside will dry out and shrink, and dry seeds will beat against the walls.

2 way:

We use the oven for this. It must be set to a temperature of up to 60C, and dried until tender, stirring occasionally.

The main thing is not to rush and do not set a high heat, as the fruits will simply boil and become completely unusable.

Drying dried flowers

There is only one way and it is long-playing. Flowers should be strung on a thread threaded through the stems and hung in a dry place, peduncles down.

Drying in a book or an iron will not work, so the shape will be lost and they will become flat. After the dried flowers are completely dry, they must be covered with a layer of hairspray. It will give them the right density and will not allow them to crumble at the slightest touch.

Well, now, let's move on to specific master classes and examples.

1. Panel of autumn leaves

We offer you a great DIY leaf panel idea. It is not difficult to make it, but the result is quite impressive.

It would be nice if you placed other autumn decor elements next to the finished leaf painting. For example, pumpkins, spikelets and other gizmos suitable in style. Then you will have a whole autumn ensemble.

What we need to work:

1. 1. Dried maple leaves of yellow-red color.
2. 2. Tree branch for the trunk
3. 3. A piece of square plywood
4. 4. Stain or dark varnish
5. 5. Simple pencil
6. 6. PVA glue
7. 7. A bunch of dry spikelets
8. 8. Wicker basket for pumpkins
9. 9. A few Jack Be Little or Baby Boo pumpkins

If you do not have such pumpkins, then the basket can be filled with chestnuts and acorns. But next year it would not hurt to grow them, as they look very colorful and festive. Of course, if you have a piece of land.

See what a variety of varieties and how harmoniously they combine with each other:

Master class step by step:

1 step. Sand the board, paying special attention to the edges. They must be smooth.

2 step. Cover it with stain or varnish, preferably with a brownish tint. Apply the coating in several layers, trying to make the board not of a uniform color, but slightly “spotted”.

3 step. Freehand draw a large maple leaf.

4 step. Start gluing on the maple leaves. Start from the edges, gradually approaching the middle. The edges of the leaves should match the edges of the sketch as best as possible. The next row of leaves should overlap the previous one. Do not glue the ends, they should be “overhang” so that the effect of volume comes out.

5 step. Glue the selected branch in place of the stem.

Now hang a hand-made autumn panel over a cabinet and arrange other decorative elements around.

2. Topiary from a herbarium and other autumn materials

Topiary is an ornamental tree. In autumn you can collect beautiful leaves and make such a wonderful and cozy element of decor.

Any leaves, dried flowers, acorns, spikelets will be used here. The main thing is to understand the essence and make the right foundation. And what to fill it with - fantasy will tell.

What we need to work:

1. 1. Ceramic pot of soft color
2. 2. Smooth tree branch for the trunk
3. 3. 1 ball of foam rubber, polystyrene or special floral foam
4. 4. Dry moss, sesame or a handful of beautiful pebbles, acorns, dry mountain ash
5. 5. Glue gun
6. 6. Gypsum dry
7. 7. Decorative elements: herbarium, dried flowers, mountain ash, acorns, etc.

Master class step by step:

1 step. Let's start with the base. Take foam ball and put it on a branch that will serve as a trunk for you. Then remove it and drop glue from the gun into the hole formed. Reattach the ball and let dry.

2 step. Secure the stem in the pot. To do this, put a drop of glue on the free edge of the branch, attach it to the base of the pot.

Then, dilute the gypsum with water to the consistency of liquid sour cream and fill the container. Keep in mind that you will still need to decorate everything on top with moss or acorns, so leave a gap of about 3-4 cm from the top.

3 step. Now we insert leaves, dried flowers into the ball, sticking their stems inside. If you want to add acorns to the composition, then first put them on pieces of wire.

4 step. Now you just have to decorate the top of the pot so that the gypsum is not visible.

That's all. According to this simple scheme, you can make a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands, not only from leaves, but also from dry peas, nuts and other things. All of them will look just fine!

3. Roses from maple leaves

Looking at this elegant bouquet of roses, it would never occur to you that it is made from ordinary maple leaves!

But, nevertheless, it is so. It is enough just to learn how to fold them correctly and you will get a chic basis for many ideas.

Such roses can be included in various autumn topiaries, wreaths, compositions and panels. They look great in combination with any natural materials.

Well, let's get down to business.

What we need to work:

1. 1. Maple leaves not dried
2. 2. Thread or soft wire
3. 3. Matt lacquer for hair

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the middle of the bud. To do this, fold the sheet as shown in the pictures below. Try to twist it as tightly and evenly as possible. First in half, and then sausage.

As a result, we should get something like this:

2 step. Now take the second sheet, fold it in half again and wrap the base around it.

sharp edges maple leaves you need to carefully hide inside, like this:

3 step. We continue to build up mass around the base, fitting more and more new leaves. If you want to end up with a bud, then twist it tighter, and if you ate a more lush rose, then loosen the twist a little.

4 step. When you see that a real rose has “bloomed” in your hands, you need to fix it with threads, as tight as possible.

5 step. We cut the edges with scissors and put the rose on a lining of leaves, preferably already dry. We cover the composition with varnish and admire!

Such roses from leaves stand for a long time, for the whole autumn season it will definitely be enough. You can make as many of these colors as you like. The more of them, the more chic this autumn composition looks, resembling a fabric motif in appearance.

4. Compositions from decorative pumpkins

Even if you do not grow this vegetable on your site, in autumn time you can freely buy them on the market, and then dry them yourself. How to do this, we have already told above, so let's not waste time talking.

Let's get creative!

There will be no master classes in this block, we will just show you examples of such decor, and how to make them is quite clear from the photo.

Of course, there are more complex techniques, such as carving or painting on dry lagenaria, but this topic is extensive and worthy of a separate article. Here we will consider only the simplest compositions that even a schoolboy can do.

1 option. Basket with a scattering of pumpkins. It couldn't be easier, but the view is spectacular!

Option 2. Candlesticks from mini pumpkins. To do this, you need to cut a hole large enough with a knife so that you can put a foil-based candle in it.

Or this option:

Incredibly simple, right?

3 option. Wreath on the door of pumpkins. Take any circle as a basis, for example, an embroidery hoop, and attach mini-pumpkins to it.

Pierce the tails with wire and screw it to the base, circle. As additional decorative elements, use berries, acorns, twigs and autumn leaves.

It will look something like this:

5. Chestnut Topiary

To create this spectacular do-it-yourself autumn craft, we need the same materials for the base as for creating decorative tree from the herbarium. And for decoration, you just need other elements.

For work we need:

1. Ceramic pot
2. Styrofoam ball
3. Gypsum dry
4. Glue gun
5. Tree branch for the trunk
6. Cones, chestnuts, acorns
7. Harsh thread or twine to form decorative balls

Master class step by step:

1. 1. We form the base of the tree in the same way as in the case of the leaf topiary.
2. 2. We fix the base in a pot with glue and plaster
3. 3. We apply drops of hot glue to chestnuts, acorns and other elements and randomly attach them to the foam ball-crown.
4. 4. A wreath on the chestnut door

Such a wreath of chestnuts on the front door will cheer up not only you, but also passers-by. It is very easy to make it. Follow all the steps given for making a pumpkin wreath.

Find some kind of dense base, then pierce the chestnuts and other elements through the reverse side, insert the wire, form a hook and use it to screw them to the circle.

Complement the chestnut composition with leaves, acorns, berries and other autumn decorative elements that this fertile time of the year gave.

6. Autumn garland "Leaves" from salt dough

This is a very spectacular autumn craft with your own hands. The big advantage of such a garland is that it is not seasonal and will decorate your home for many years.

After all, it is made not from natural materials, but from salt dough, which does not deteriorate for years. The only thing is that such products are fragile and must be handled with care so as not to break. But, even if this happened, they can always be glued together, but the joint will not be noticeable.

What we need to work:

1. 2 cups flour
2. 1 glass of salt
3. 0.5 cups of water
4. Gouache
5. Sewing pins with hook eye
6. Twine
7. Oven
8. White landscape paper, pencil

Master class step by step:

1 step. We draw patterns of leaves of various types on the landscape sheet, but approximately the same size. We cut them out.

2 step. Knead a stiff dough of flour, salt and water. If the dough turns out to be non-plastic, then liquid can be added drop by drop. Mix well the resulting material and roll it out on the board. The layer should be approximately 5-7 millimeters.

3 step. We lay out the templates on the rolled out dough and cut them along the contour with a knife.

As a result, we should get about as many blanks.

4 step. We make holes with pins and carefully fix the heads. On them we will hang our leaves. We squeeze out the veins with a knife.

5 step. We dry the dough in the oven at a temperature of 50-60C until completely dry.

6 step. We color the blanks from the dough with gouache, trying to make natural tones and transitions.

7 step. We string the garland on the twine, making a knot over each leaf so that they do not move.

So our autumn do-it-yourself craft is ready. You can hang it anywhere, it will be in place in any corner of the house, especially if you have some other autumn-style decor elements.

7. Vases and houses from an ordinary pumpkin

Autumn is the season for pumpkins. It costs mere pennies and finding a beautiful shape and coloring is not difficult.

And to make an element of autumn decor on its basis is as easy as shelling pears! There is no need for any step-by-step technologies and accessories.

All you need is pumpkins, a carving knife, and a tablespoon to pick out the pulp and flowers to fill these colorful vases.

Look at our selection of photos of pumpkin vases. Looks very dignified and autumnal.

As you already understood, you only need to cut off the top and clean the core of the vegetable. Then fill the container with water.

And you can make houses out of pumpkins. To do this, you just need to cut holes in the right places. Where exactly they are located, you can see in the picture below. Kids love these things!

8. Wreath on the door made of natural materials

We have already given above an example of wreaths of pumpkins and chestnuts. How to make them - you already know. Here we just give a selection of the most spectacular, in our opinion, ideas.

9. Frame of acorns for a photo or a mirror

Decorating any base in this way is very simple. We think no explanation is needed here.

The only thing we can advise is that you should not glue acorns on a glue gun or PVA. Much better if you use plasticine.

Because, most likely, you will soon get tired of such decor and have to throw it away. And so, you can always dismantle the acorns and get a regular photo frame back into use.

This is how it will look like.

There are whole acorns on the photo frame, and only hats on the mirror. Thus, you can create a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands and decorate any surface: caskets, bread boxes, and more.

10. A bunch of acorns

This autumn craft will look the best way, if you paint the "berries" in natural colors, and instead of grape leaves add a herbarium of their maple, of various colors.

Also, a bunch of acorns is a wonderful element of any autumn wreath on the door or a large topiary. After all, it can be made not only desktop, but also in human growth!

Only instead of a foam ball, you need to take some large, plastic one. Grapes from acorns are made very simply, we will now tell you exactly how.

What we need to work:

1. Acorns without caps
2. Shilo
3. Wire
3. Glue gun
4. Acrylic paint
5. Autumn leaves for decoration

Master class step by step:

1 step. We pierce holes in the base of the acorn with an awl.

2 step. We break or cut the wire into pieces 7-10 cm long.

3 step. Dip the ends of the wire in a drop of glue from the gun and insert into the punctured holes.

4 step. We paint acorns in any color you want. The main thing is that it is combined with leaves that will complement the composition.

5 step. We collect acorns in a bunch, forming a wire rod on top. Then we attach leaves to it.

Now you can make any decoration based on this fall craft. Panel, wreath and more.

11. Autumn crafts from felt

Working with this fabric is a pleasure! The material does not crumble, perfectly holds its shape. And this means that any beginner can make an autumn craft from felt with his own hands and it will turn out no worse than the products of experienced craftswomen.

We offer you a selection of the best and simple decors in autumn style, and you already choose any of them! They are so simple that they do not need to describe in detail their step-by-step technology.

As you can see, on the basis of felt leaves, you can make both a wreath and a garland, like the one we already made from salt dough. Here are a couple more options autumn wreaths with your own hands.

All you need to do is draw patterns, cut out the felt and decorate it according to our photos.

12. Pigtail of garlic and red pepper

How cozy it is when bundles of garlic, onions, red peppers hang in the kitchen! But if you hang them fresh, they will very soon lose their appearance or simply run out, because they will go to food.

Let's do something like this, but for the ages! Now we will look at how garlic and pepper are made, from which we will form a pretty braid for the kitchen.

For work we need:

1. White nylon tights or plastic bag (for garlic base)
2. Cotton wool or synthetic winterizer (for filling)
3. White harsh thread (for dressing and forming lobules)
4. Glue gun
5. Buckwheat or twine (to simulate garlic roots)
6. Fabric for sewing peppers or salt dough for modeling it

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the body of garlic. To do this, we need to cut into squares or nylon tights or simple plastic bags. Garlic made of nylon looks, of course, more realistic.

But the package looks good too. But most importantly, this material is always at hand. So, cut out a square, about 7 by 7 cm in diameter.

2 step. We roll a ball out of cotton wool or synthetic winterizer, put it inside a flap of nylon and form a head of garlic. It looks like it is shown in the photo.

3 step. Then we begin to tie the head with a harsh thread, forming garlic cloves. First, divide in half, then into quarters, then into 8 parts.

Look at the photo, the process is clearly shown there.

4 step. In the place where the roots of real garlic are located, we drip a drop of glue and sprinkle this place with crushed buckwheat. If you want, you can replace it with twine, which needs to be unraveled and finely chopped.

5 step. We make a pigtail out of twine and attach the resulting garlic cloves to it.

6 step. Now it's time to do the pepper. You can sew it, but a pepper made from salt dough looks much better.

We have already given the recipe for kneading, in the subheading “Garlands of autumn leaves”. This is how the peppercorns should turn out in the end.

7 step. We make holes in the tails of the peppercorns (we will then thread the twine into them and with its help we will fix them on the pigtail with garlic). You can do this with an awl or any item at hand.

The main thing is to make them large enough so that you can thread the thread freely later. Otherwise, after drying, you will not be able to attach the finished product to the composition in any way.

And one more thing: if you make a hole, make sure that the edges of the legs remain more or less large. Otherwise, after you pull the thread, the thin walls may crack and the pepper will fall to the floor.

8 step. Dry in the oven, paint with acrylic paint, after drying, cover them with varnish. When the pepper shines, it looks more natural.

Dry at a low temperature, do not rush, because otherwise, your work may burst and you will have to sculpt everything again. Cracked peppers can no longer be painted the way you would like.

9. We fasten the pepper to the garlic and hang this autumn composition in the kitchen. You can make several of these links. You can make carrots from salt dough, and from brown tights you can make an onion bunch.

The principle of making bulbs is the same as garlic, only even simpler. Slices do not need to be formed.

Also, a bunch of mushrooms on the wall will look great, which you can also mold from dough and paint realistically.

This is the end of our long review. You saw many examples and any kind of autumn crafts with your own hands. We really hope that our master classes will be useful to you and you will definitely take something into service.
