Should you be afraid of spiders? Most arthropods don’t even bite, but people, when they see an eight-legged animal, panic and experience disgust mixed with horror. Presumably, spiders are no less pleased to see an approaching thug, ready to spank a small spider.

You can't offend spiders. Folk signs and beliefs associated with these predators almost always promise an increase in wealth, well-being, the arrival of guests or good news. And what a light and airy web they can weave! Just a sight for sore eyes!

Today we will try to make a spider from pine cones. More precisely, a friendly company - a boy and a girl.

To work you will need:

• - small blooming cones,
• - multi-colored pieces of plasticine,
• - autumn leaves for decorating crafts.

Although the principle of making cone spiders is the same, there are still differences in details. For example, on the left in the picture is the head of a female, on the right - a male. The location of the spider's eyes, nose and mouth is made from the base to the top of the cone, and the spider's is the opposite.

To make four pairs of legs, you need to roll out black plasticine into a tube, and then cut the workpiece into 8 equal parts. We pinch the parts at one end with our fingers and imitate feet. Next, we fasten four legs together, and attach the finished elements to the body of the craft.

All that remains is to bend the tubes beautifully - the legs, the spider from the cone is ready. This is a boy, or rather a male.

Let's try on a cowboy hat - a quarter of a chestnut peel - on the hero. How originally its wide brim is curved.

Finally, using the principle described earlier, we form the legs for the spider’s girlfriend from brown plasticine and attach them to the cone. We will decorate the female's head with an original headdress - an acorn cap with a ripe rowan berry. Place a few green leaves or blades of grass under the hat. Still a girl. Well, how can you do without a hairstyle? In addition, green and orange colors add brightness and color to the craft.

Well, the work of making spiders from pine cones and plasticine is finished. To make the characters feel comfortable, we will place autumn leaves and a bunch of rowan berries around them. Maybe handicraftsmen will weave an openwork web on maple branches overnight?

Among the branches spider

I made myself a net.

The web is so light!

The spider has a nice home.

Why not try it yourself? make a cobweb, but you can’t put her on it spider?

Painting with salt is like a magical experiment. This is truly a godsend for children who love to do something unusual. Besides, non-traditional creative methods help the child to relax, enjoy the process and be surprised by the results. Painting with salt is very unusual, but at the same time quite simple.

To create our picture we need

Colored cardboard

watercolor or water colored with food coloring;

brush;

PVA glue;

Drawing technique using salt:

1. Using glue, draw a spider web on the cardboard (you can paint with a brush. Children like to squeeze the paint directly from the bottle and paint with it). We don't regret glue. You can first draw with a pencil, then outline with glue.

2. Generously sprinkle the design with salt. Then carefully shake off the excess salt.

3. Next to the cobweb we draw in the same way autumn leaves.

4. Now we need paints. We will color autumn leaves. Dip the brush into the paint and gently touch the salt-coated glue line. The paint will run on it. You can take different colors in different parts of the drawing until the entire image is completely colored.

5. As a result, you should have such beauty!

In the meantime, our work dries up, we can invite the children to do spider.

For this we need chestnut and plasticine.

1. The chestnut has a round shape and is perfect for modeling the body of an insect. All other parts of the body will plasticine.

2. Pinch off plasticine Make 8 small portions and mash in your hands. These will be the spider's legs. You also need to take a piece for the head.

3. Attach a ball to the front of the figure and press it down. This will be the spider's head. Attach eyes to the small face.

4. Pull all 8 balls prepared to create legs into thin threads. Press each ball onto the board with your finger and roll until you get the desired piece. Attach the legs to the body.

5. That's all. Insect spider from plasticine and chestnut is ready. Now you need to take a piece plasticine and attach it to the chestnut tree so that we can plant our spider on cobweb.

Well, our work is done! I wish you all creative success!

As was already written in the post below, I need to make a model “In the meadow”, and for this I need insects, I looked in stores and couldn’t find them (Ours.

According to legend, spiders cannot be kicked out of the house; they protect the home from negativity and uninvited energetic guests.

Make this cute amulet with your own hands - a chestnut spider and a dragonfly made from natural material will do the job perfectly! A decorative web made of threads will never be a reason to think of you as a bad housewife; rather, on the contrary, all guests will admire the original decor! Every novice needlewoman can cope with the task.

Preparation of materials and tools

To create the “Chestnut Spider on a Web” craft, as in the photo, you will need the following materials and tools:

• two chestnuts (large and small);
• viburnum fruits;
• two acorn caps;
• three cones with thuja branches;
• five “helicopter” petals;
• fruits of the Saphora tree;
• eight wooden skewers;
• thread with sequins (or any other thread);
• wine cork;
• two fleecy sticks with a wire base, dark brown and light brown;
• a piece of black plasticine;
• scissors;
• glue gun

If you don't have some decorating materials, that's okay, use something else or reduce the number of decorations.

Step-by-step master class on creating decor

First you need to prepare wooden skewers to create the base of the craft - the web. Leave the length of the skewers 10 cm (more or less, depending on the desired size of the finished product), sharpen the blunt edges of the skewers with a knife.

Tie a thread to the finished “skeleton” for the web, closer to the center, to one of the skewers. Secure the knot with a glue gun. Then, at the same level, wrap all the skewers one by one, fixing the intersection of the thread on the stick with glue so that the thread holds its shape better and does not slip.


After the first level of web, you need to wrap the thread near the initial knot, fix it and make two turns along the same skewer, lifting the thread up to continue the next row of web. Thus, go around in a circle and drop all the skewers to the edges, do not forget to fix the intersections with glue, especially the last knot.


The web of threads is ready.

Then start making a hospitable host for the web - a spider from chestnut and fuzzy sticks. For the insect cap you will need: a helicopter petal and an acorn cap.


Glue a small chestnut to the edge of the larger chestnut, closer to the top. This will be the body with the head of the spider. Then use fuzzy stick scissors to cut 6 legs of 3-4 cm each and bend them slightly in the middle. Glue three legs to the sides of the body (large chestnut).

Cut off the edge of the “vertical” - this will be the visor of the cap and glue it to the acorn cap, and then to the spider’s head. Roll out plasticine and stick on two black eyes. Cut a piece of light brown stick and attach it around the spider's neck. The spider is ready.

Now it’s time to make your own dragonfly from natural material: the body is from a piece of fuzzy stick, the wings are from “verticals”, the head is from an acorn cap, the eyes are from plasticine.


Start making a dragonfly from the body. To do this, bend the wire almost in half (make one edge a little longer) and twist it slightly (not tightly), leaving a small loop at the base and a thinner end. Glue a head - an acorn cap - to the loop and glue two round, flat eyes made of black plasticine. Glue two “helicopters” on both sides along the edges of the loop - these will be the wings of a dragonfly.

The last guest on the web will be the caterpillar. To make it, you will need the fruits of the Saphora tree (to make the caterpillar longer, they can be glued together). Make the eyes and glue them on from plasticine.


Place the chestnut spider and other inhabitants and glue it to a decorative web of thread.
To decorate the composition, glue a composition of thuja branches and three cones into the center.


Add a few brushes of viburnum or rowan along the edges “for a little sparkle”. The craft is ready.

You can make a loop for the craft “Spider from chestnuts on a web” and hang it as a talisman. Let the spider protect your home, which will always be full of goodness and long-awaited guests.

An excellent master class with step-by-step photos will teach you how to make an insect. Make them from natural materials, from plastic bottles, from paper, from candy and even from waste material.

Amuse the little ones by making insects with them. These small animals can be made from leftover materials.

How to make a spider with your own hands?

You will get a wonderful soft spider whose legs bend. To do this, take:

• pieces of fur from some old thing;
• stationery knife;
• glue "Moment";
• padding polyester;
• pliers;
• two beads;
• cardboard;
• wire.

Now you need to cut 4 pieces with wire cutters. One is 4 cm long, the second is 12 cm, the third is 16 cm.

Place a ruler on the back of the fur and cut this material into strips 1 cm wide. Be careful to cut only the inner part and leave the fur intact.

Lubricate the reverse side with glue, place the wire here, pull the opposite long edges of the fur and glue these blanks together.

In this case, one part of the head and two parts of the back should be made from fur, and one part of the head should be made from leather. Place these templates on the back of the materials and cut out with a utility knife.

Through this hole you will turn the double piece right side out. And there will be skin on the abdomen.

Stuff the blanks with padding polyester and close the gaps using a seam over the edge. Place the head against the back, insert a couple of pieces of wire into the seam and attach it using a hot glue gun. Sew these parts together. The wire is needed to make a bend between the back and the head.

Now place the paws on the work surface so that the short ones are in the center and the long ones are at the edges.

Sew them to the bottom of the head. Attach the eyes. This is such a wonderful spider.

Watch how to make insects from disposable spoons. A master class and step-by-step photos will help you with this.

How to make a ladybug - master class and photo

To make these insects you will need:

• plastic spoons in the amount of 3 pieces;
• black, white and red acrylic paint;
• scissors;
• brush;
• heat gun;
• black button.

Using scissors or a heated knife, separate the tops from the spoons. If you want to make three ladybugs at once, then you will need to paint 6 blanks red, and three more blanks black.

When the acrylic is dry, take two red spoons and glue them together slightly overlapping. Glue a black spoon down.

Glue a small black button in front, and if there is none, then cut off the base of the disposable syringe and paint it black.

Carefully draw small black circles on the butterfly's wings.

Cut pieces of thin wire and glue them as mustaches. Use white paint to paint the ladybug's eyes.

Here's how to make this type of insect. If you wish, make three more girlfriends for him. You can play with these figures with your child.

If you wish, make an edible ladybug too. You can give this as a gift or decorate your holiday table.

Ladybug made from candy

Here's how to make this type of insect. First take:

• volumetric foam;
• candies;
• toothpicks;
• scotch;
• corrugated paper in two contrasting colors;
• scissors.

Using a knife, cut off all excess from the foam. It should look like this.

Attach toothpicks to the back of the candies with tape.

Cut the corrugated paper into strips measuring 4 by 20 cm. Wrap them around the candies. Yours will turn out so charming.

Now cover the ladybug's head with a wider strip of brown paper, then start attaching flowers here.

Cut out the base for the craft from plywood and attach green paper blanks here using the trimming method. To do this, you need to cut it into squares with sides of 4 cm, then screw them onto a thin pencil blade and glue them on a plywood base.

Place this candy ladybug in the center of this stand.

How to make insects from plastic bottles with your own hands?

Such insects are durable, since this material will withstand low temperatures, summer heat, and precipitation.

Take:

• transparent plastic bottles;
• scissors;
• beads;
• thin wire;
• acrylic paints.

If you can, draw the butterfly freehand. If not, then use a template. Place it on the surface of a plastic bottle and cut it out.

If you wish, color the butterfly first or do this at a later stage. String beads onto a wire folded in half, and bring the two ends forward to form antennae. You need to glue a bead or one piece of beads to their ends.

This butterfly made from a plastic bottle will decorate your garden or city yard. If you wish, make a larger one. The head and body for it are made from 2-liter bottles or a slightly larger container; the wings also need to be cut out of bottles. These blanks are fastened together with wire and painted.

This material will also allow you to make a large spider. Check out the crafting process. Take:

• plastic bottles;
• pliers;
• awl;
• wire;
• cans of black paint.

If you have dark bottles then use them, if not, in that case take bottles of a different color, then you will dye them.

Take 28 bottles and cut them in half. In this case, leave the corks wrapped on the necks of the bottles. Now you need to make 18 identical legs for the spider. To do this, first take a whole bottle and tie the 6 halves you just created to it with wire. And the seventh part will have a cork.

Now you need to sew these parts together using wire. This will be easier to do if you familiarize yourself with the following diagram.

You fasten the workpiece as if you were sewing 2 pieces of fabric. Now you need to connect the eight legs made into one structure using wire.

Here's how to make an insect out of plastic bottles. Connect four bottles with wire. In this case, place the two outer ones slightly lower than the central ones. Then add five more bottles here. The result is a head with a chest. Attach the spider's legs here.

To make the belly, take three bottles and attach four more on top. Then fix another bottle on one and the other side on the left and right.

Now connect the abdomen with the main part and you can paint the spider. Of course, it's better to do this outside.

You can secure this insect to a wooden fence by first drawing a web on this vertical surface.

If you don’t have that many plastic bottles or this master class seemed difficult to you, then watch another one. All you need is one plastic bottle. You need to cut off the top, and then use a knife or scissors to chop the rest of the bottle to the bottom to make eight legs. Bend each one several times, then you will get the legs of a spider.

You can glue a plastic ball here, as if a spider is laying its egg. Then all that remains is to paint the insect with black or other dark paint.

You can turn this ball into a spider's head by screwing in three pairs of eyes from a children's mosaic. Then you will make a hat for him from felt and lace. Decorate it with feathers and a bow with a pearl.

If you want to place your insects near or on a tree, then also make one from a plastic bottle. You will get such a fabulous, bewitching object.

Take:

• 2 liter bottle;
• branches;
• hay;
• polyurethane foam;
• brown paint;
• hot glue gun;
• sawdust.

Close to the bottom, cut a hole in the bottle. Then turn it into a hollow, but first add sawdust here. Then the structure will be more stable. Using a hot gun, make holes in the top of the bottle. This is where you will insert the branches. Secure them and pad them with cotton pads.

Now, starting from the top, apply foam to the bottle. In this case, you need to hold the branches so that they do not change their position.

Chances are, one bottle won't be enough, so use two. Once the foam has hardened, paint the tree with brown spray paint.

To keep the hollow the same color, place a bag here for a while. When the dyeing process is finished, take it out.

If you want to create a winter landscape, then glue a few snowflakes here. Place berries, cones, artificial mushrooms, and hay inside the hollow. It will be clear that the squirrel made such reserves; place her figurine on a branch. And you can place insects on other branches.

If you can make a firefly from a plastic bottle, then place it under the canopy of this tree. In the dark, such an insect will sparkle and become an additional lamp and a source of comfort.

Take a green plastic bottle and wrap it in three places with wire of the same color. You can pre-paint it or take a floral one.

Hide these insect legs on one side and cover the bottle with yellow paper.

To further make the insect, whose name is firefly, cut out two wings from cardboard. Glue them onto yellow paper. Make two eyes from buttons or plastic rings and glue them onto the lid. Make antennae from soft chenille wire in a winding.

Place a glow-in-the-dark stick inside the bottle, after which the insect craft is ready.

You can make a firefly not only from a plastic bottle, but also from plastic packaging from Kinder surprises. Antennae and paws are glued to these containers. And you will draw the eyes or make them from cardboard.

A small LED lamp must be placed inside each such toy.

In general, you can make insects from a variety of waste materials, for example, from the following.

Insects from egg trays - step-by-step master class

To make such a brave ant, you will need:

• egg cartons;
• scissors;
• black paint;
• brush;
• eyes for toys;
• chenille wire.

Cut three cells from a cardboard egg carton. Cover them with black paint outside and inside. When it dries, glue the ant's eyes. If you don’t have ready-made ones, attach blisters from tablets or buttons as these. But do not give this toy to small children.

Cut 6 straight lines from the black chenille wire or take three wires of the desired size. Bend them and attach them to the back of the trays. You will get a wonderful ant insect.

Cardboard egg trays are a real find for mothers who love to craft with their children without spending special money on it.

To make such a bee, you need to cut out two cells from the tray and paint them yellow. When the paint is dry, have your child paint black stripes on top. Take the eyes for the toys, attach them, and the baby will cut out the wings from cardboard, which must first be painted or yellow. Make the paws and whiskers from black chenille wire. Your child will be happy to join you in the creative process.

By taking 5 cells from the trays, you can make a funny caterpillar, and even one cell will turn into an adorable spider. He will need to glue the legs and eyes.

And if you glue two cardboard wings to the caterpillar blank and paint them, you get another insect. This butterfly is also easy and simple to make.

It doesn't take much time to create a ladybug either. You will make each such insect from two egg trays. Then they need to be painted and applied in a contrasting color to the back of the circle.

You will develop the child’s imagination by showing not only how waste materials can be used, but also natural ones. This type of activity will also entertain your baby when you take him for a walk. After all, such insects can be made directly while traveling through the park, in the courtyard of the house.

Insects from natural materials - how to make step by step

Show your beloved child how 3 oval leaves can be turned into a butterfly template. In this case, the big one will become the body, and the small ones its wings. The acorn cap will turn into the head of this insect, and two stems from the grass will turn into its mustache. You can take openwork leaves like strawberry leaves and place four leaves from flowers of a brighter color on top of them. You will also get a wonderful butterfly, and rowan berries will turn into the body of a caterpillar if you string them on a toothpick or on a strong twig. Such pieces of branches can be attached to one berry, and you will get a wonderful spider.

You will get a cheerful dragonfly or fly if you take:

• maple leaves;
• twigs;
• rowan berries;
• salty dough.

Using salt dough, attach the above materials, as well as the acorn cap, to the branch. If you want to make a fly using this principle, then make the body from an acorn, and for the eyes take two acorn caps and two berries. Attach them using salt dough.

Another option is to take three circles of salt dough and a toothpick, with which the main parts are attached. You can make an insect that flies this way.

Go for a walk and look for natural materials with your child to construct these insects.

If you have older children, then they will be able to make crafts from flowers and plants, which are also natural materials. Arrange yellow dandelion and forget-me-not flowers to form the head and body of a beautiful beetle. Make his paws from blades of grass.

A charming butterfly can be made from leaves, maple seeds, blades of grass and a couple of beautiful flowers.

If you have petals from sweet peas or similar flowers, they will make an adorable butterfly.

You can also make a beetle from a similar natural material, for example, from rose petals, by gluing these petals onto the markings of its head and body previously made on cardboard.

Together with your child, select the petals by color, then you can make appliqués of picturesque insects from them.
