Good afternoon, today we will make crafts from vegetables and fruits. In this article, I have collected the most complete collection of the cutest crafts, with themes suitable for kindergarten and school. Autumn competitions at school are often arranged on the topic of crafts from vegetables (and not just from chestnuts and cones). It happens very often that your child did not immediately tell you about the competition, often you will only learn about the craft by Monday on Sunday evening. And so it is important to quickly EVALUATE the contents of your pantry and FIND an idea in the bowels of the Internet that will fit your vegetable stock.

That is why I decided to combine in one article all kinds of vegetables and fruits who can take part in the creation of crafts for the garden and school. You do not need to shovel heaps of Internet pages. Here you will find all kids craft ideas- all in one article.

Here's what we'll be doing today:

• Crafts from cucumber, pepper.
• Crafts for the garden from onions, cabbage and potatoes.
• Crafts and eggplant and zucchini.
• Carved sculptures-crafts from carrots and radishes.
• flat diy-paintings from vegetables and fruits.
• animal crafts from oranges, kiwi, bananas and lemons.
• Crafts from watermelons, pineapples, and melons.
• And I made a separate article

CRAFTS FROM VEGETABLES.

We will start with vegetable children's crafts ... and then we will move on to sweet fruit sculptures. You will see that a chipmunk can be made from an ordinary onion. And cut out roses from radishes that will bloom themselves if you put them in a glass of water. What am I talking about ... now you will see everything for yourself.

Crafts FROM BOW for school and garden.

From vegetables, as well as from fruits, you can make many interesting sculptures. Here are the onion chickens. We take out the young onion from the garden right along with the stem, and cut the stem-stem into feathers - we push them apart and put this “panicle” on the column-base of carrots.

And here is another craft FROM RED ONION. Chipmunk with white stripes and fluffy tail from onion feathers. I'll tell you in detail how to make it by hand...

Take two red onions suitable size and shape (it is better to take fresh bulbs, straight from the garden - then they are even in color and elastic). And we immediately make white stripes on them - for this you need to cut the upper skin of the onion with a blade and then carefully remove it (like shavings) to get a white “bald patch” in this place.

We form a little body- we take a long wooden skewer, or a toothpick - we stick it into the onion-tummy in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe future neck. And on the protruding end we stick an onion-head.

Making a tail- bend the green feathers of the onion in the shape of a tail, the lower part of the tail tie with thread or rubber band in a bundle .. And in a saucepan making sugar syrup(3 tablespoons of sugar + half a teaspoon of water) - when the sugar melts and cooks with this sticky sweet glue, coat the onion feathers (so that they stick together into a single tail) - dry it all. And then we pierce the lower and middle part of the tail-bun with toothpicks and stick it into the back of the onion-butt.

Paws- these are incisions on the onion-tummy. In order for the paws to detach and protrude from the tummy, you can put pieces of plasticine under them. Ears these are small slices-slices from another onion - we stick them into the slits-slits on the chipmunk's head. Eyes- these are olives (you can use raisins, or pieces of black eggplant skin). Antennae are also white cuts on the colored skin of the bulb.

Onion feathers can be pasted over a rectangular box (from tea or cookies) and made from such a blank VEGETABLE REC… or RADIO. Vegetable buttons are pierced with toothpicks or glued to sugar syrup (see recipe in onion chipmunk).

PUMPKIN CRAFTS

pulp carving.

Crafts from PUMPKIN PULP . Even pumpkin pulp can be a source of beautiful crafts. The pumpkin is soft enough to carve whatever your heart desires. For example, here are such majestic pink flamingos.

Birds can also be carved from regular CARROT. In the photo below, we see how a person creates his craft masterpieces right on the street.

You can make a simple sculpture out of a single side of a pumpkin - for example, the muzzle of a donkey.

Pumpkins are very interesting products for creativity. He can talk about it for a long time and with photo examples. Therefore, I collected many different pumpkin crafts in a special article.

Crafts from vegetable radish

white and pink.

From WHITE RADISH you can also cut beautiful parrots. White radish - resembles a huge white carrot. It is perfectly cut with a knife into any shape. And the wings do not have to be made from radishes either. You can take hard stalks from BEIJING CABBAGE. A beautiful and simple vegetable craft for kindergarten and school. The jury will love it.

And here is a red radish craft ... Also a very cute family of pink birds in a nest of tops, pods or onion feathers.

And a gorgeous bouquet of vegetable roses. Here are photo instructions on how to do it. We cut the radish with a knife into shavings - in a checkerboard pattern (like cabbage leaves on a stalk). Then we put such an incised radish in water - and under the influence of water it swells and opens its petals. We string the buds on gift skewers - and so that the stalks-legs are green, we put each skewer inside the onion feather.

FLOWERS FROM VEGETABLES

crafts-bouquets for the garden and school.

And below we see how flowers are created from vegetables and fruits. Oval flowers with a halo of narrow petals (also from radishes), orange buds with a berry in the middle (from tangerines). Bell pepper palms and a carrot stem, or a skewer stem and grapes strung on it.

And here is an idea on how to create lush tulips from sweet peppers. Or delicate white daisies from thin slices of white mini patisson pumpkins (with a yellow center from a slice of carrots). A great craft for children who are bored in the country.

And here is a way to make ASTRA from a stalk of Chinese cabbage. If you add rose flowers from red cabbage to such a Beijing aster, you get an elegant composition for an exhibition at a school or kindergarten.

Crafts from Zucchini and other vegetables.

Here is a penguin bird from zucchini zucchini - with a bow of sweet red pepper and orange eyes. It is very easy and affordable to do it yourself even for children.

And here is another bird with a tomato head and a green crest and green pepper wings. The tummy is a white zucchini.

You can make the heads of men or animals from squash crops.

If the fruit has a pointed shape, then you can beat it like a muzzle of a puppy or mouse.

And from the halves of a zucchini, you can add a sculptural craft of a dragon. But this is a real challenge to our creativity. The most important thing here is the head - if you have a muzzle, then you can continue and make the body.

By the same principle, you can create similar composite sculptures from oranges.

BLACK EGGLANDS

crafts from vegetables for the garden.

The black color of eggplant tells us the creation of black and white animals living on our planet - and these are ZEBRAS, WHALES, PENGUINS, AND KOALAS. (I did not find Koalas among the photo crafts - but the idea is good).

Eggplant can act as an insert element for crafts from other vegetables (see photo below with a rooster and a monkey).

Crafts from cabbage and other vegetables.

Cauliflower is an interesting material in its structure. Its bizarre forms themselves suggest the theme of vegetable sculptures. These are, of course, sheep, polar bear cubs, poodles and other furry animals.

POTATO CRAFTS.

Even an ordinary potato can be an interesting tool for children's creativity. These minions can be made from potatoes - they can be dressed in black eggplant overalls. The minions themselves can be painted with gouache in yellow paint. Glasses can be cut out of carrot rounds (cut the carrot into a circle and cut a round hole in the circle).

The very shape of the potato can give you the idea of ​​crafts - in the photo above we see that the potato in the shape of panties suggested the idea of ​​​​creating a girl in shorts. You can also look for interesting shapes in a bag of potatoes - for example, in the form of the head of Peppa Pig, you often come across.
You will find more ideas for potato crafts in a special article on our website.

Crafts FROM PEPPERS and other vegetables.

Sweet and hot peppers can be a source of inspiration. Their smooth, shiny shape guarantees the beauty of the final craft. like this motorbike can be assembled if you connect all the parts with toothpicks (plasticine can be placed inside, as an additional fastener for toothpicks). Citrus wheels are also strung on toothpicks.

Roosters and overseas birds can be made from peppers of a bizarre curved shape. You can look for these in the store - or better in the market or in the country.

And here crabs and crayfish... They are made from several pepper vegetables. And to be honest, PHOTOSHOP WORKED here (they removed the superfluous, added the missing) - but the idea is still worth trying to implement it for real.

And here, in the photo below with dragon, all to be honest. No photoshop - only the skillful hands of the master and the look of the artist. Bean pods (whiskers and horns), corn cob stalks (ears and tail), apple (for muzzle), carrots (paws and back teeth), toothpicks (claws and fasteners).

It is important to be able to look at fruits and vegetables in this way. artist's eye, squint, cloud your eyes and suddenly in this foggy haze you see a future sculpture in a pile of vegetables.

CRAFTS FROM CUCUMBERS.

Sculptures for kindergarten are most often animals. Children love animals, and animals love children. That's how nature intended it. Therefore, we will make cute animals from cucumbers. Cucumbers are, of course, GREEN CROCODILES.

Although the inhabitants of the sea (dolphins and sharks) can also be carved from a green greenhouse cucumber. Make fins, gills-cuts, a white neck with a slit of a toothy mouth.

PICTURES FROM VEGETABLES.

But what kind of planar collage crafts can be made from vegetables and fruits. For the ideological basis, you can take the famous paintings of famous artists. And try to repeat them in your vegetable art.

Alon Zaid - an elderly artist came up with the idea to recreate famous paintings from fruits and vegetables. Here is the silent Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, Son of Man by artist Rene Magritte, portrait of Dora Maar by Pablo Picasso

Here you are, Mona Lisa, she is Gioconda, the great master Leonardo Da Vinci.

Here is another famous painting by Pablo Picasso.

You can not repeat the MASTERPIECES of pictorial art from the Hermitage ... but come up with your own picture of vegetables.

And also do not forget that in addition to vegetables, there are also FRUITS. And they have their own pictorial possibilities. Its bright colors and interesting cut patterns.

So since we got to the fruits, let's see what can be done for the competition in the garden and from these fruits.

FRUIT CRAFTS

And now, let's move on to fruit compositions and sculptures. I will show you the simplest DIY crafts made from apples, pears, bananas, pineapples, watermelon peels and melon fruits.

Crafts from pulpy fruits
apples, kiwi, pears, bananas.

But cute childish crafts from kiwi. To create them, you need to choose unripe solid fruits. Slices of slices should be blotted with a paper towel so that the juice does not show through.

But crafts from an apple and a pear - if you use one whole fruit + a thin slice of the second fruit, you can get such interesting crafts (a mouse and an elephant). Where thin slices serve as details for the ears, and face. And from the stalk of an apple, a trunk for an elephant is obtained. Delicious and fun crafts that you can make with your kids and then eat.

But crafts from a juicy pear. To create such birds, we choose varieties that are harder.

And so that the cut place without the peel does not darken, it must be smeared with a brush dipped in lemon juice.

And if you are making a craft from a pear, without a peel, and even with finely chopped feathers (as in the photo of birds below), then it is better to protect such a craft so that it does not darken, and so that the “feathers” do not dry out and wrinkle. For protection, we use gelatin. Pour the gelatin powder with water. When it swells, heat it up so that it dissolves (but do not bring it to a boil!!!). And with this warm gelatin syrup we grease our entire craft. It will become shiny, and will look fresh for a long time, nothing will darken or fade. Only important- a gelatin solution for such a lubricant is made 2 times thicker than on jelly. That is, we read the instructions on the package and pour 2 times more powder into 2 times less water.

In exactly the same way, crafts are made from bright red apples. We treat white slices with lemon juice(so as not to turn black) and you can also grease with gelatin syrup (so as not to wilted and wrinkled).

Can do craft-crab from apple slices - paint it also in beetroot juice so that it is red, or smear with lemon juice so that it remains white (does not rust).

Can you make a green apple? hummingbird. Great little fruit craft for kids.

You can make pots with flowers from the tops of large apples - cut bald petals in it - you get an elegant composition with your own hands from vegetables.

Banana crafts for kids.

Of course you need to make minions out of bananas. This is clear to everyone. Bananas are yellow, minions too. You can dress them in cucumber jumpsuits. A whole family can be made to an exhibition in a school or garden.

You can make an octopus out of a banana. Add citrus fish and red pepper crabs to it (see photo below in this article). And make a whole underwater kingdom of vegetables and fruits.

Or make a cute duck family out of banana tails.

And here is the idea of ​​dachshund puppies - with skin-ears and green tails. Eyes are cut out and pupils are inserted from black paper.

CITRUS CRAFTS

along with helping vegetables.

Lemons can be beaten with their curly feature - POINTED NOSE. And make such cute mice out of lemon (you just need to cut off their side so that the mouse lies on the tummy. Cut out round ears from the peel of the cut lemon tummy. Cut the lemon on the top of the mouse and insert the ear into the cut. Cut a thin tail from the skin scraps. And dear children's crafts for a competition in a garden or school are ready.By the way, FROM A PIECE OF PUMPKIN you can make MOUSE CHEESE and even cut round holes in it.

If you cut a lemon or orange peel along the contours we need - and then tear it off. We get a figured "bald patch" on an orange (as in the photo with crafts below). This citrus "bald spot" can serve as a white tummy for two chicken felts, penguin felts (on the right photo below).

From oranges you can make a cat (with cut stripes on the back and tail), and a bear cub with mandarin ears.

All parts are pricked on toothpicks and stuck into the pulp of an orange.

Citrus peel is perfectly cut into any flat shapes (like cardboard). Therefore, complex carved shapes of fish fins and tails can be cut from it. Beautiful crafts in an underwater style, add apple crabs, orange peel starfish to them.

Citrus fruits can participate in the craft as an addition to the vegetable sculpture (for example, in the form of a parrot wing made of tomatoes and onions). Or the entire sculpture can be made from oranges cut into rounded shapes (as in the photo with the lion below).

If you take a rectangular cardboard box - and glue it with orange peel - you get the basis for creating a camera.

PINEAPPLE CRAFTS

and other fruits and vegetables.

Here are interesting ideas for those who do not mind sacrificing a pineapple for the sake of children's creativity. A small melon can become the head of an owl - we make eyes from round radishes and olives, eyebrows apart from the peel of black eggplants, yellow paws from halves of a lemon.

From half a pineapple, you can fold a crocodile with eyes (radishes and olives), with paws (kiwi). Of course, such a crocodile needs a lot of pineapple sides. Not to get carried away with my salary - but if you don’t have financial problems, then choose this cutie - the pineapple crocodile will definitely not remain in a modest shadow at the school exhibition.

Or you can make a turtle from one half of a pineapple - and cut out the legs and head from the pulp of a pumpkin, from carrots, potatoes or other vegetables or fruits. A simple and beautiful children's craft made from vegetables is obtained.

And here is the pineapple hedgehog. To be honest, this is most likely the result of Photoshop, or the very painstaking work of the pineapple pulp carver - you need to cut the peel from the pineapple barrel, then shape the legs and head into the pulp. Then, with toothpicks, fasten the stalk comb to the hedgehog.

But the idea with a parrot bird is suitable if you find a pineapple with a long tail. We cut it off the pineapple by deepening the knife deeper into its flesh - so that the tail is cut off along with the yellow center. We stick a red pepper nose, olive eyes into the parrot's head and fasten it on a wooden skewer to its habitat.

Crafts from watermelon peels.

You can make a lot of crafts from watermelon. We are all familiar with the masterpieces of watermelon peel carving. Here I will not offer complex sculptural tricks. We are simple parents - we are not that talented - we need simpler ideas. Here I have collected the most affordable watermelon peel crafts for the common man.

Here is a turtle easy to do with your own hands - Cut the watermelon so as to remove the side round part (this will be the shell) - remove the pulp so as not to interfere. On this oval part, we draw future patterns with a felt-tip pen, and then we cut all the contours with a knife - we get a carved shell pattern. It remains to cut out paws and a head from other pieces of the crust - attach all this with toothpicks to the bottom of the shell.

But the gaping mouths of sharks and frogs. We also draw future cuts on the watermelon. Cut off a segment of watermelon - get a mouth cut. From the inside, remove all the pulp with a spoon - we eat it. And then with an empty watermelon womb we are already doing what we need - either a frog or a shark . Shark teeth are very easy to make.- first, along the edge of the mouth, we make a shallow incision-groove (to the depth of the green layer). Then we cut off a thin green skin along this groove, and leave the thick white skin. From this remaining white part we form teeth - we simply cut out and discard triangular segments from it - and we get triangular remnants - teeth. We make a slot - we insert a fin into it - we make a chip-recess for the eyes and insert black olives.

And the frog does not need to make teeth - the eyes are made from halves of a green lime and two cherries on toothpicks.

And here is an example of how you can make a cartoon character from a watermelon. In the first case (minion), we put a large yellow Pomelo fruit inside the green watermelon overalls.

But crafts for boys from oblong watermelons are watermelon ships and a submarine. We don’t sell such oval watermelons, but you can try to make similar crafts from a round one.

Or use an oval melon. Sails made from orange peels.

You can make a chicken out of an orange and stick it in a melon as small as a shell. A rabbit with ears, a frog or come up with your own character.

But melon crafts are more complicated - an owl with lettuce and a watermelon belly. Fish carved with scales and fins.

These are ideas for vegetable crafts for an exhibition in a garden or school. I hope you have found here a suitable craft for yourself and will be happy to make it with your children. What is done with your own hands heals the soul. It seems to me that every person does not interfere with breaking away from watching TV and a little to please his soul and his children.

To do something together, together, not to quarrel, and not to quarrel in the process - this is another day that you will remember with warmth years later. These are the moments you remember... and not those when the boss handed you a diploma ... All the vain things fade from memory over the years ... but the present takes root and remains a bright picture in old age. Let's collect such pictures - in our hearts.

Let's create such moments for our children - let them have something to remember about their childhood. After all, what do we remember about our childhood years? Only these are the days when dad and mom suddenly forgot about their adult affairs and spent time in stupid and worthless, but such fun and necessary fun with the children.

Good luck with your vegetable creation.

Olga Klishevskaya, specially for the site
If you like our site, you can support the enthusiasm of those who work for you.

What do not make crafts for kindergarten! Pumpkins, cones, leaves, sticks, pebbles and moss - everything has a place in children's creativity.

But if you want to really surprise the kids and their moms, be sure to try making it out of onions!

This miracle vegetable, capable of delivering "from seven ailments", is undeservedly deprived of attention. And we propose to restore justice.

There is another strong argument in favor of using such a unique one: in the autumn, onion crafts for kindergarten are especially good because while they are standing in the kindergarten lobby, in a group or reception room, the number of harmful bacteria and viruses in the air is noticeably reduced. A rare case when crafts not only decorate the garden, but also guard children's health.

What you need to make such a "miracle craft":

• Several medium sized bulbs. We prefer a fresh crop, preferably bulbs collected from our garden. Their upper skin is well attached, and the inner scales fit snugly against each other.
• Small flat gourd.
• Quite a large carrot. You can immediately give it a conical shape.
• A couple of toothpicks.
• Peas of black pepper.
• Sharp knife.

With a knife, we immediately cut one of the bulbs horizontally.

Insert one of the toothpicks into the top half.

At the second onion, we clean off the brown husk from one side.

On the cleaned surface, closer to the roots, we make a notch with a knife.

Put a peppercorn in it.

Nearby we make another such recess, immerse the second pea in it.

Below we make a deep transverse incision.

We cut out a couple of triangles from the carrot, one semicircle and several narrow strips.

We insert the triangles into the recess made next to each other.

We put the resulting head on a toothpick, which we previously inserted into the half of the onion.

The first part of the DIY bow craft is done!

Acting on the same principle, using toothpicks, peas and carrots, we make the second character of the craft - a cat.

From toothpicks we make a lush mustache for the cat.

Now let's get to the pumpkin.

Cut off the top of it.

We clean the seeds.

We seat some of the heroes in a pumpkin basket, we sit the cat next to them. Here you can improvise by changing the number and type of characters, seating them differently.

We attach a handle cut from the top of the pumpkin to the basket.

Made from onions in the garden! Perhaps, having seen what cute animals can be made from onions, the children will pay less attention to its smell and specific taste.

If you ask needlewomen when exactly they first tried to create something with their own hands, for sure, many will answer that it happened in childhood. Many kids are happy to make crafts from plasticine, draw with gouache, make beautiful coloring pages, cut out snowflakes from paper. Older children embroider, knit, sew from felt and other fabrics a variety of funny little things.

But all these activities require special materials or tools. Of course, they can be found in various needlework shops, but there is one direction in creativity that does not require additional costs. The ingredients for creating crafts can be vegetables. They are in every home. Bright eggplant, pumpkin, zucchini, onions, potatoes and carrots can be not only useful. They make funny and charming products not only in the form of funny animals, for example, crafts with abstract and bright patterns can be carved from a pumpkin. Carving in cooking is a very popular and sought-after skill in many famous cuisines of the world. This word can be translated as "carved ornament". There are even special tools for creating amazingly beautiful carvings on vegetables and fruits.

The art of carving openwork crafts from vegetables and fruits arose several centuries ago in the southeastern part of Asia. In such a simple and affordable way, the poor tried to diversify their table. Over time, each of the countries has its own characteristics in carving. China or Japan is characterized by dragons, hieroglyphs or carvings of battle scenes. By the way, carving can be translated from English as “cutting”. Thai chefs do not use stencils for their work, unlike Chinese or Japanese masters. Only sharp, narrow and thin knives help them in creating amazingly openwork flower arrangements.

From the restaurants of the East, this art spread to Europe. Now carved ornaments on vegetables appear on the tables of many well-known establishments.

In addition to its main function - decorating dishes on the table, crafts using the carving technique can help mothers feed their babies. Any kid eats nasty and unloved porridge if it is decorated with beautiful or funny crafts from a bright vegetable or fruit.

In this article, we offer you several master classes with step-by-step photos for creating crafts. from vegetables in carving technique. These simple and affordable tutorials will help you create stunning decor items that will make any table festive.

Onion flowers using carving technique

bow lotus

Every home has a bow. For the first flower - lotus you will need:

• White salad onions;
• A small fork of white cabbage (you can take Beijing cabbage);
• 1 medium sized carrot;
• Small knife;
• Large flat dish with sides.

Important! All craft ingredients should be dry and clean, and knives should always be sharp.

Separate the cabbage into leaves. You need one even and flat. He will play the role of a lotus leaf lying on the water surface. It is better to leave the sheet unchanged, but if there are any too prominent irregularities, then you can carefully cut them off.

For one or two flowers, you will need half an onion, cut across. Now you need to cut the triangular segments in a circle without affecting the bottom. Cut wider so that the rest has narrow triangles around the edges (see photo).

Now you can divide the workpiece into layers and arrange them with an offset relative to each other. We have a white lotus flower, but without a core. For one flower, 2-4 layers will be enough.

For this we need a carrot. We cut it into rings about 3.5 mm thick. We choose the most beautiful mugs. Cut out octagons. Now, with the help of small longitudinal and transverse cuts on the flat side, we draw a “lattice”. The angle of intersection of the lines is a straight line.

The cores of the flowers should be slightly larger in diameter than the hole in the onion lotuses.

Now pour some water into a flat container, put the leaves and flowers on top. 2 pieces will be enough.

This craft is sure to decorate the table, but it is not intended for food.

onion chrysanthemum

You will need:

• Bulb of small round shape;
• Water;
• Beets or carrots for painting;

Such chrysanthemums are perfect for decorating meat dishes.

The smaller the onion, the more beautiful the flower will turn out.

The color of the bulb does not matter. Just if you choose a red onion, then it will not need further painting. The best option would be thin-walled vegetables.

We clean the onion and cut off the top and bottom by about 5 mm.

Turn up the side from which the feather grows. And we begin to make cuts, not reaching the end of about 5 mm. First we cut in half, then into 4 parts, etc. the more parts there are, the more magnificent the chrysanthemum will turn out. The cuts should be deep enough, but not damage the lower part, in which case the flower will simply fall apart.

We put our workpiece in water at room temperature. It will take from 40 minutes to 2 hours for the flower to "bloom", everything will depend on the variety of the bulb.

If you make chrysanthemums from white onions, then you can paint them later. For this, carrot or beetroot juice squeezed from fresh vegetables is suitable. Just dip the ends of the petals into it. Any bright food coloring can act as a dye: red wine, a solution of saffron or turmeric, etc.

For the next flower, you will need not an ordinary bow, but leek.

Materials:

• Leek;
• Sharp knife;
• Toothpicks.

We fold one wide sheet in half lengthwise and cut one hundred sides of the fold line. We make cuts frequently.

Now you need to roll up the tube, arrange the turns a little in a spiral (see photo).

The remaining wide sheets are folded in half across. These will be the petals of the future flower.

It remains only to chop off the petals and the core with toothpicks.

Crafts using carrot carving technique

From vegetables, you can make not only beautiful flowers.

Spruce cones from carrots

You will need:

• Carrot fruits with a diameter of at least 3 cm;
• Sharp knife;
• Ice water.

We clean carrots. The length of the workpiece should be approximately 10 - 12 cm. Cut off the excess from a wider base, without affecting the sharp tip.

We cut the wide end in the form of a rectangle or square. Its length will be approximately 3 - 4 cm. We give the rest of the carrot the shape of an elongated cone, like a real cone.

The wide and thick end of the future cone must be rounded off by cutting off the sharp edge.

The same thick end is visually divided into six identical parts. Carefully cut out 6 scales along the dividing lines. We cut to a depth of 2 - 3 mm. We cut off the part of the carrot that is located between the scales. It turns out cone-shaped triangles. We deepen the knife by flakes by 2 - 3 mm. They will turn out to be slightly notched from a sharp edge.

The next circle is cut in a checkerboard pattern relative to the first. We cut the scales again so that in the future they will easily open. So to the end.

When all the cones are ready, you need to place them in ice water for about 15 minutes.

The bumps will harden, and the scales will open slightly.

Carrot fishing net

You will need:

• Large carrots;
• Water;
• Wooden skewer;
• Sharp knife;
• Salt;
• Several sprigs of dill;
• Slice of pumpkin or zucchini.

We clean the carrot. Now you need to give it a cylindrical shape and pierce it along the center with a wooden skewer.

Now you need to soak the carrots in saline for two hours. For 1 st. l. Salt will need 1 cup of water. This will make the vegetable soft and not brittle, because in the future it will need to be thinly sliced.

We take the workpiece out of the water and visually divide it into 4 parts along. Each part has a top and bottom. With a knife in increments of 5 mm, we make cuts from above, then from below on all 3 parts across. Do not cut to the skewer inside the carrot.

Now, with a sharp knife, cut the carrot into a thin continuous layer, creating a ribbon. Start on the uncut side. It turns out a tape similar to a network with oblique cells. We cut off the core with a skewer. Straighten the tape.

Cut out fish from other vegetables of your choice.

It remains only to artistically arrange the fish, dill algae and the net abandoned in the sea.

Carrot lily flowers

You will need:

• Carrot;
• Sharp knife;
• Scissors.

We give the vegetable the shape of a pentagon in section. One end should be thicker. He will be the top, we will start work from him.

Cut off one thin layer from each side.

This is the first outer circle of petals. We give them shape with scissors.

We cut off a thin layer of the pentagon, making it thinner, and in a checkerboard pattern we make five more petals.

We do the third row in the same way. We make the middle short and give it a conical shape with the tip up with a knife.

Using a knife, we cut this cone into stamens, and the lily is ready.

Charming chrysanthemums can be made not only from onions. For these purposes, Beijing cabbage is perfect.

Chrysanthemums and cabbage roses.

You will need:

• Beijing cabbage (for one chrysanthemum you will need 1 fork);
• Red cabbage for roses;
• Tin can lid (suitable for olives);
• A few thick cucumbers for sepals of roses;
• Sharp knife.

First, we make chrysanthemums. From a head of Beijing cabbage, cut off the upper part to dense white leaves.

For carving very often use special tools. To create such chrysanthemums, you need carb knives that have the shape of a groove.

Such tools are not always available. Therefore, the fantasy of needlewomen suggests using improvised means, for example, a lid from a can of olives or pineapples. We bend it in half and get a convenient groove. It is necessary to work with such a tool carefully so as not to cut your fingers with sharp edges.

Take an impromptu tool, as shown in the photo. And start cutting grooves, starting from the cut edge to the base. Near the base, point the tool deeper than at first. Do not cut about 2 cm to the base. We take out the groove and cut out the next petal in the same way on the same leaf. On average, from 3 to 5 petals are placed on one cabbage leaf. This will depend on the size of the fork and the diameter of the groove. Cut out in a circle.

Carefully cut off the remaining parts of the leaves with scissors, if they have not fallen off on their own in the process of creating the petals.

We take the next layer of fork leaves. We continue to work until we reach the core. The first circle of petals should be the longest, the rest of the petals should become shorter towards the core.

We put the finished flower in cold water for 30 minutes. The flower should open. To speed up the process, it is fashionable to add ice.

Chrysanthemums can be made the day before serving or even a couple of days in advance. They are perfectly preserved in water.

Roses from red cabbage.

We divide the head of cabbage into separate sheets. Cut off the edges of the thickness you planned for the rose petals. Cut out with scissors as shown in the photo. From a large leaflet, 3-4 petals can turn out. If the cabbage forks are small, you can connect 2 leaves.

From cucumbers we make sepals for roses. To do this, cut off the ends and remove the pulp. With a sharp knife, cut the cloves along the edge of the workpiece.

Now just roll the petals into a roll and insert into the sepals. Unfold some petals. Roses do not need to be placed in water. Cabbage leaves absorb cucumber juice and unwind beautifully.

If you want to make stems for roses, then take a wooden skewer, put an onion feather on it, and then stick it into the sepals. Leek or green apple peel is suitable for creating leaves.

Vegetables for crafts are usually bright, and what turns out to be more colorful than a sunny orange pumpkin.

Pumpkin in carving technique

You will need:

• Hard-skinned pumpkin;
• Drill;
• Cutter;
• Knife with a sharp end;
• Hammer and carnation;
• Spoon with a sharp edge (can be specially sharpened);
• Paper;
• Fine marker;
• Scotch.

It is necessary to take out the pulp of the pumpkin with a spoon and a knife, leaving the walls about 2 cm thick.

The template can be drawn on paper with a thin marker or printed ready. Carefully attach it to the pumpkin.

Now we take a thin carnation and a hammer and, according to the template, we cut out the outline of the drawing on the pumpkin, as in the photo.

We remove the paper pattern, and we see a bitmap on the pumpkin. On these marks, use a cutter to remove a thin layer of peel. The remaining layer should not be thick. Otherwise, the light from the candle that we put inside will not be visible.

Now you need to cut a thin layer of pumpkin from the inside on the largest patterns of the ornament.

The drill needs to drill several through holes. They will not only play an additional decorative role, but also provide the oxygen necessary for burning the candle.

Now it remains only to wait for the dark time of the day, insert a candle into the craft, light it and enjoy the incredible spectacle. If you are going to do this indoors, take care of fire safety in advance.

Hello! Glad to see everyone again.

In autumn, the time comes when teachers in kindergartens and schools ask parents and children to take part in exhibitions. Many willingly participate, undeservedly bypassing the attention of such a vegetable as onions. Bow crafts can be very interesting. In addition, the bow is an affordable and easy-to-process material. It is easy to cut, pierce, the bulb has a convenient shape. What do-it-yourself bow crafts to make, this article will teach you!

Cipollino

For crafts "Cipollino" take three medium-sized onions. A slightly sprouted vegetable is best for the head. Using a regular awl, make small holes for the eyes, mouth and nose. Fill in the gaps with seeds. For example, make eyes from grape or apple seeds, a nose from corn kernels, and a mouth from viburnum seed. The remaining bulbs are the torso of our fairy-tale hero. Cut off the tops of the fruit, carefully insert thin twigs or toothpicks there and connect the bulbs together. To attach the head to the body, cut off the root part of it and stick it on a toothpick. It is not at all difficult to make such crafts from.

Don't forget to find twigs to make the hands and feet of your Cipollino. It is better if these branches have branches at the end, so you imitate fingers. Also take a small onion, cut in half and attach with a toothpick to the lower base of the body. The hero's shoes are ready! Onion crafts delight both children and adults.

onion chrysanthemum

Very often, parents and teachers offer children to make paper flowers. Why don't you make an onion chrysanthemum? Take a small white or red onion. Clean it and cut off about one and a half centimeters at the bottom and at the top. Take a sharp knife and cut the onion in half from the top.

Do not reach the end of about 0.5 cm. We make the same cuts along the entire diagonal of the fetus. But watch the depth of the cut - if you retreat a little, the flower will not bloom, and if too much, it will simply fall apart. In addition, the thinner the layers, the more beautiful the finished flower will be. When the work with the knife is over, lower the bulb into a container of water at room temperature so that the fruit is completely hidden under the liquid. Wait an hour! During this time, the chrysanthemum in the water will bloom. If you want to get a colored chrysanthemum, then add dyes to the water. Onion crafts, the photos of which you see on the page, can be very beautiful.

Onion peel applications

Some people prefer non-traditional methods of working with vegetables. For example, onion crafts can be made using its husks. Onion peel is a very interesting and easy-to-work material that has a chic color. The husk is removed very carefully, it must not be crushed. The removed material is steamed in water (hot) for about 10 minutes. Then the husk is ironed. You can also paint the material with potassium permanganate or stain for wood.

Before starting work on the application, sort the husks into light and dark shades. As a basis, take silk, velvet or cloth, previously stretched on a stretcher. It is also acceptable to use cardboard or thick white and colored paper. Great for crafts from onion skins purple and blue shades. Black color will reduce the amount of work, but beautifully set off the golden color of the husk.

How can you work with onion peel?

Archery crafts can be real works of art. But how to work with onion peel? There are several methods:

• Sticking the material on a fabric base, where the pattern has already been applied. Each piece is smeared with PVA glue and glued onto the sketch, fitting it to the previous one.
• Transferring parts to thin paper - in this case, the husk is transferred to thin paper with glue, then the parts are very carefully cut out from the wrong side. Finished fragments are glued to the cloth.

Archery Crafts: Husk Flowers

To make such a craft, careful preparation is necessary. A dry onion must be wetted, cut off the rhizome and gently pull the top. The husk should carefully come off the fruit. This is the future inflorescence! For the stem, you can use the rods of cereals, garden or marsh plants. The upper edge of the rod is smeared with glue and carefully attached to the onion bud from the husk. Separate pieces of husk are glued to the bud in the form of petals. Such a bouquet will look great in a wicker vase.

Onions are a natural and environmentally friendly material. Working with him cannot harm your child, on the contrary, he will join nature and work. By turning on fantasy, you can come up with many characters from the bow and immediately create them with your own hands. Funny caterpillars, turtles, watches, various little men - the list is endless, the limit is your imagination!
