Autumn is a great time for handicrafts, because it gives us so many beautiful materials: leaves, vegetables, fruits, flowers, acorns, cones and twigs. And how cozy the house becomes if it is decorated with decor in a yellow and crimson scale. In this article you will find 6 ideas autumn crafts do it yourself for adults and children with step by step master classes and a selection of photos for inspiration.

Idea 1. Autumn topiary

Topiary is a decorative tree that can be used to decorate a dining table, mantelpiece or space near front door... To make it, you can use natural or artificial materials, for example: leaves, berries on twigs, acorns, cones, chestnuts, flowers, dried citrus slices, as well as felt, sisal, flax and whatever your imagination tells you. In the next slider, you can see some examples of such fall crafts.

Materials:

1. Clay pot;
2. Wooden stick or branch;
3. Two balls of polystyrene or floral foam;
4. Materials for decorating the crown;
5. Dry moss (you can replace it with sisal);
6. Glue gun and a few sticks of glue;
7. Scissors;
8. Side cutters or secateurs;
9. Acrylic paints for painting the barrel, ball and pot (optional).

Instructions:

Step 1. Cut a hole in the base ball with a sharp object about a third of its diameter deep under the barrel. Put hot glue into the hole and insert the barrel into it.

Step 2. Insert the second ball into the pot. If the balloon does not fit snugly in the pot, place newspaper around it. Cut a hole in the ball for the barrel 2-3 cm deep. Insert the barrel with the crown into the hole and adjust its length. Next, drop the glue into the hole of the ball, install the barrel in it and start filling the hole with glue, placing small pieces of paper around the barrel. This is to prevent the hot glue from deepening the hole too much.

Step 3. Paint the pot in the desired color if you do not like its original appearance. In this project, the pot was painted with spray paint in a shade of dark bronze from Rustoleum (sold in construction stores, for example, in Leroy Merlin).

Remember that the design of the pot should be simple and unpretentious so as not to distract attention from the crown. Paint the barrel and / or balls at this stage if necessary. It is advisable to paint the balls so that the gaps between the decorative details are invisible.

Step 4. While the paint on our workpiece is drying, sort the decorative details by type and size. If you are using artificial leaves, flowers and berries with a wire base, then, cutting them off, leave the "stems" about 2 cm long. This is necessary in order not only to glue the parts, but also to stick them into the ball - then they will hold more securely. If the "stems" do not have a wire, then it is better to cut the details "at the root".

Step 5. Now it's time for the fun part - creating the crown. First, evenly distribute and glue the largest parts on the ball, then the medium ones. Finally, fill in the gaps with small decorations.

Step 6. Well, that's all, it remains only to decorate the ball in the pot with dry moss or sisal, having previously processed it with glue.

Idea 2. Pumpkins from toilet paper rolls

And here is another idea for an autumn craft on the theme of vegetables, which you can make with children - pumpkins from toilet paper rolls. The possibilities for decorating such crafts are endless. For example, children can use colored paper, gouache, or sequins, while adults can use gold leaf, fabric, or lace.

Materials:

• Toilet rolls or paper towels;
• Scissors;
• Leg-split;
• For decoration: brushes, gouache or acrylic paints, PVA glue and glitter or book pages, etc.;
• Cinnamon sticks or twigs (to create the core of the vegetable);
• Burlap, felt or cardboard (to create leaves).

Step 1. Flatten the toilet paper roll and cut into rings.

Step 2. Decorate the rings with any material you like, such as kraft paper, scrapbooking paper, cloth, ribbons, or just paint them. acrylic paint... You can also decorate pumpkins just like in this master class - with sequins and stripes of book pages.

Method 1. Using a brush, brush the outer sides of all rings with PVA glue, and then sprinkle glitter on them liberally. Wait until the blanks are dry, and then cover the sequins with a second layer of PVA glue to protect them from shedding.

Method 2. Cut thin strips of paper from book pages and glue them to the rings with PVA glue or glue stick.

Step 3. To shape your pumpkin, pass the string of twine through the rings, then tighten the two ends and tie a knot as shown in the photo.

Step 4. Now glue cinnamon sticks or cut twigs into the center of the pumpkin.

Step 5. Hooray, your pumpkins are almost ready, all that remains is to add leaves cut from burlap, felt, cardboard or any other material at hand to them.

By the same principle, you can make a pumpkin from rings of any material.

Idea 3. Panel from leaves

Next, we present to you the idea of ​​crafts from autumn leaves. Since hot glue and sharp objects are not used in this master class, you can safely involve children in the work, and especially in the collection of material.

Autumn craft idea from natural material that can be made with children and used for seasonal home decoration

Materials:

Instructions:

Step 1. Cut the wood with a jigsaw and sand the ends with sandpaper.

Step 2. Paint the board with wood stain and leave to dry.

Step 3. With a marker, draw a maple leaf on the board by hand using a template or stencil.

Step 4. Begin to glue the pre-dried leaves (see drying them at the end of the article) like a fan, trying to place them so that their edges coincide with the outline of the picture. In this case, you should not glue the leaves completely, let their tops be a little free so that the panel has acquired some volume. On each glued leaf, put a press of a suitable size for a minute.

Keep in mind that the leaves will not adhere immediately, but will stick well after the glue dries.

Step 5. To make the contours of the picture clearer, trim the leaves in some places. However, try to use this correction as little as possible so as not to lose the beauty of the natural lines.

Step 6. Now attach the twig to your panel in place of the stem, break off the excess and glue.

The following selection of photos contains examples of no less original autumn panels.

And finally, we suggest watching a video tutorial on how to make an autumn craft in the form of a leaf panel with a frame of acorns with your own hands.

Idea 4. Wind chime from natural materials and not only

The next project is an example of an interesting, but very easy-to-make craft from natural materials and ready-made parts, which the child can make almost independently.

Materials:

• Two or one sticks;
• Natural and factory materials for thread decoration: Pine cones, flat pebbles, acorns, wooden beads, small metal candle holders (used in this project) and everything that comes to hand and corresponds to the theme of autumn;
• Leg-split;
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks.

Step 1. Paint some elements of the future wind chime, if necessary. In this master class, the author painted the pebbles in bright yellow and red colors.

Step 2. While the jewelry is drying, tie two sticks cross-to-cross and tie the center of the cross with twine as shown in the photo below. You can also use just one long stick or, say, a hoop.

Step 3. Cut 9 twine ropes of the desired length with a small margin for knots, so that in the future you get two rows on each branch and one in the middle.

Step 4. To create one row of wind chime, take a piece of twine and start stringing beads or other pieces onto it, passing the ropes through the holes twice or pulling them tightly into knots. The stones should be additionally fixed with hot glue. In order not to be mistaken with the order, the details should first be laid out in the desired order. By the way, it is better to place especially sonorous elements opposite each other so that their chimes in the wind can be heard better.

Step 5. Tie knots at the end of each string.

Step 6. After each strand is finished, tie them to the branches in double knots, adding drop by drop of glue.

Below are other examples of this unusual decoration made from cones, acorns and leaves.

Idea 5. Candlesticks in the form of autumn leaves from salted dough

Leaves can be used not only as a decorative or finishing material, but also simultaneously as a template and a stamp for creating crafts from any mass for modeling. Take note of the idea of ​​autumn crafts with children in the form of such cute leaves made of salted dough. By the way, they are not only beautiful in themselves, but can also perform a practical function, for example, you can store various decorations on them or put candles on them.

Materials:

• Ingredients for kneading salted dough: ½ glass of salt, ½ glass of water, 1 glass of flour;
• Capacity for kneading dough;
• Glass bowl;
• Rolling pin;
• Large leaves;
• Vegetable oil;
• Acrylic paints in yellow, red, orange and brown colors.

Instructions:

Step 1. The first thing to do is to go for a walk with the whole family and find at least two beautiful large leaves.

Step 2. Then knead salty dough... To do this, simply mix all the ingredients and roll out the dough to about 6 mm thick (at least) so that it is not too thick, but not too brittle.

Step 3. Spread your paper over the dough and roll over it with a rolling pin with light pressure.

Step 4. The next step is to cut out the shape around the sheet. Use a sharp knife and, of course, take this part of the work yourself.

Step 5. Remove the leaves. Turn the glass bowl over and brush it with a thin layer of vegetable oil.

Step 6. Carefully lift the sheets and place them on the bowls.

Step 7. Place the bowls with the dough in an oven preheated to 250 degrees and leave them to bake for 2-3 hours.

Step 8. Take your pieces out of the oven and let them cool without removing from the bowls for about 15 minutes. Then gently lift the leaves and leave to cool completely.

Blanks

Step 9. Once the bowls are cool, start painting. To do this, pour the paints of each color into cups and let the children mix them on their own and paint first the inside of the leaves, and then the outside. Salted dough crafts are rather fragile, so you need to paint them carefully, without pressure. Wait until the paint dries and, if desired, cover the bowls with a layer of PVA glue. It will give the craft a matte finish and make it a little stronger.

Bowl painting

The shapes of the leaves can be different.

By the way, if you don't want to mess with salt dough, then you can replace it with soft plasticine. The photo below shows an example of such a craft.

Idea 6. Garland of felt

Felt, although not a natural material, makes the most autumn crafts from it. Today we offer you to make the simplest garland of felt leaves.

Materials:

• Several sheets of felt of autumn colors;
• Leg-split;
• Scissors;
• Glue;
• Thick thread with a needle;
• Pencil.

Instructions:

Step 1: Download and print the leaf templates (see the download template below), then cut and outline them.

Step 2. Cut out the blanks.

Step 3. Sew the veins manually with large stitches.

Step 4. Now, keeping an equal interval, hang the leaves on the twine. To do this, wrap the tail of each leaf around the twine and fix it with glue. If you wish, you can sew on the details. Woo-ala, the autumn felt garland is ready!

According to the principles of this simple master class you can create a variety of garlands with decorations in the form of acorns, cones, pumpkins, etc. In the following selection of photos are some examples autumn garlands from felt.

How to dry leaves and flowers

Method 1. This method is suitable if you want applications or other non-volume crafts. Place the sheets or flowers between the pages of the book at a distance of about 3 mm from each other and transfer them to other pages every day (also observing the interval of 3 mm). Within a week, the paper will absorb all the moisture from the plants, and you can use them for creativity.

Method 2. If your craft does not involve the use of flat leaves, then you can dry them by simply gathering them in a bunch and hanging them upside down in a dry but ventilated area. At the same time, keep in mind that the leaves will lose their color completely from the sun's rays, and will remain in the shade.

Method 3. This method is suitable for drying and preserving the color of leaves and cornflowers. Blot fresh, freshly plucked leaves / cornflowers with a napkin if they are wet. Place each sheet between two layers of waxed paper and place a paper towel on top of the sandwich. Preheat the iron and make sure the steaming mode is off. Press the iron on a paper towel for 2-5 minutes. Turn the sandwich over and iron it again through a paper towel, then carefully remove the waxed paper.

• To prevent dried leaves and flowers from breaking, they must be dipped in a solution of water and PVA glue, diluted in a 4: 1 ratio, and then left to dry.

Greetings! Today I have picked up a lot of ideas for you on the theme "Autumn". Or rather, we will figure out how to make autumn bouquets with our own hands. With the beginning of classes in schools and kindergartens, parents are often puzzled about what needs to be done. I believe that in the presence of fruits, leaves and dried flowers, it is easiest to create a composition of flowers.

And they turn out to be so beautiful that they are suitable for a gift for a ball, for Teacher's Day and for the autumn holiday itself.

And in order to facilitate the search for parents, I decided to make a selection, where I collected the most interesting ideas for bouquets using everything that is at hand: from paper to twigs and seeds. There will be simple ideas and more complex ones for those who have felt a creative touch and want to create a masterpiece.

One of the most affordable autumn materials are the leaves. They have already turned red and yellow. They are collected in beautiful compositions, make the basis for bouquets, or simply put in a vase without embellishment.

And we can roll a rose out of them. And already from such roses and buds to make a bouquet. This is not very difficult to do and for 1 rose you will need from 5-7 leaves. It depends on the level of openness of your flower.

It is important to take those leaves that are still easy to bend and do not break. Unfortunately, nothing will come of dry stuff.

By the way, take them so that there is a long tail at the base. It will help to comfortably hold the workpiece and it will also be easier to tie a "rose" with it.

So let's take:

• 5-7 leaves,
• threads.

Let's start by choosing the smallest piece of paper available. We fold it horizontally in half.

And we twist it into a tube. This is what we got in the middle.

We hold the middle with one hand. And the second one folds the next sheet horizontally again. We wrap it around the middle. Do not tighten too much.

We wrap it like this until the leaves run out. Not all of them can be used if you want to make a bud.

We open the "petals" and tie all the tails with a thread. To make it more convenient, ask your relatives for help.

These are the blanks. They can already make a bouquet.

I think that any student will be able to repeat these simple steps and create a bouquet of "roses" on their own.

And now we compose the composition. Indeed, in floristry, not a single bouquet is made without her. The idea always comes first.

You can combine such roses with fresh flowers, dried flowers or rowan.

The main thing is that there are no voids in the bouquet, otherwise there will be a feeling of incompleteness. Here's an example with the addition of regular leaves. After all, they are also beautiful in themselves.

And here the flowers lie on a beautiful substrate and the middle is highlighted with a bright accent.

If you try, you can make roses of different shades, which will look very realistic in a bouquet.

It's not a shame to give such beauty to Autumn ball or on Teacher's Day.

Very beautiful when the leaves are combined different colors and forms. Yet our autumn is very diverse and plays with all the colors of the rainbow.

Another idea when using green sprigs of plants.

I really liked how the leaves were beautifully wrapped in a tube in this photo. This immediately makes the composition stand out and personalized.

Here, in a composition with fresh autumn flowers, the leaves are also actively attracting attention. Agree, it turned out very original.

Another small composition on the theme "Autumn". Very cute and beautiful idea with an apple.

It is worth going to a park or forest and you can immediately collect a whole bag of material. Twigs of birch, maple, rowan, apple - everything will suit us.

Option autumn tree as . It can also replace the bouquet. All gifts of trees are used: from leaves, to berries and cones.

The leaves do not need to be folded, but simply beautifully assembled and tied with a ribbon. You can withstand the color style. For example, take only green or only red leaves.

But you can use the twigs themselves! See how self-sufficient they look.

I think that any mother will be happy to help her child create such compositions. And the joint collection of leaves in the woods for a walk will only bring the family closer.

Autumn bouquets of vegetables and fruits

Autumn fruits can be used. Bouquets with them are now also very popular and look rather unusual.

For creativity, you need to pick up beautiful, small fruits. Without dark spots and wrinkled sides.

Let's start to consider possible options for compositions from fruits and berries. And then let's move on to vegetables.

Here is an idea with tangerines and rowan berries. Fruits are strung on skewers for kebabs. For strength, they are fixed with tape or special floristic tape.

Here you can see that the apples are strung on skewers. They are beautifully combined with asters and mountain ash and bird cherry. Parents made a very original stand from birch bark.

Apples go well with any leaves and berries.

Here the emphasis is on the mountain ash. Coniferous twigs add splendor to the composition.

Such bouquets are made to order. It is important here to firmly connect all the blanks to each other.

I was captivated by the idea of ​​dyeing the fruit. For example, such "golden" apples look very expensive. You will not immediately understand that they are real!

Variations with fruits, cones and berries in a pumpkin. I'll show you how you can use this vegetable a little later.

You can put the composition not in a pumpkin, but in a vegetable marrow.

Apples go well with the "roses" that we made earlier.

Step-by-step video on making fruit compositions.

Now I will show you options for bouquets with vegetables. You don't have to collect all types. And include design fantasies and use only two types - pepper and garlic. See what came of it.

Small fruits make nice compositions.

The entire space between the vegetables, where the junction points can shine through, were covered with rowan berries.

Adhering to a certain colors, you can create a very stylish bouquet. For example, using cabbage and succulents. After all, autumn is different.

In this photo, I was captivated by a mat of rolled leaves. The composition is clearly visible here. Zest in the form of earrings falling under their weight.

See how beautiful the idea to paint the ears looks. Very bright and lively.

Now let's move on to the very common idea of ​​using a pumpkin as a vase for flowers and herbs.

Bouquets with pumpkin

It is convenient to put bouquets in the pumpkin. But in order for them to stand and not wither longer, all plants need water. How do you place it in this large vegetable?

There are three most convenient options: use a floral sponge, use a tin can, or combine the two.

So, take out the middle with seeds from the pumpkin. They can be dried and used for appliqués and panels. Below will be about this.

And put a floristic sponge inside. It is sold in many flower shops and art departments.

Then pour water on it and insert flowers. Most often, this option is necessary when you create a bouquet of live flowers. The sponge also helps to keep the shape of the composition when the stems are stuck into it.

You can also put a tin can inside. In this case, it is not necessary to remove all the pulp. The main thing is that the jar is not visible. We use canned pineapple containers. You can also pour water into it, or you can skip this if you are using dried flowers.

It is better to take a wide pumpkin for these purposes.

Instead of a can, you can use a glass. Its upper side designate the diameter that needs to be cut in order for the glass to fit. For fresh flowers, put a floral sponge inside and saturate it with moisture.

Pumpkin composition ideas are in front of you.

Decorate your vegetable vase with ribbons or braid.

There are only fresh flowers here.

And here we see the use of spruce branches, bunches of bird cherry and mountain ash.

A whole composition on the theme "Autumn".

This craft will appeal to both schoolchildren and children. senior group kindergarten.

The main thing is not to be afraid to use the materials that are at hand. Composing a bouquet is a very entertaining and creative process.

How to make paper compositions on the theme "Golden Autumn"

I have an idea to make autumn paper bouquets. Initially, the flowers are harvested from which the composition is created.

It turns out very nicely when using the origami technique.

Interspersed.

Let's add leaves in autumn shades to them.

This master class describes detailed process creating leaflets.

The ends of the folded sheet, coat with glue and join.

Maple leaves can also be made using origami techniques.

Here is a detailed master class.

If it is not clear from the photo, then I attach a video.

Everything is described in detail here. I think that you can definitely create a craft based on the video, repeating all the steps in stages.

Master classes and ideas from natural materials for kindergarten

For little kids, you need something simpler. Therefore, I suggest using natural material for bouquets. We will look at ideas from cones, peanut shells and pistachios, pumpkin seeds, dried flowers.

Cones

It turns out that the buds are very similar to flowers. Especially, they ate unopened things to put in water. They are saturated with moisture and open. My child, when he saw these metamorphoses, was simply delighted.

The buds can also be attached to skewers, sushi sticks, or toothpicks. To create a round composition, use round floral foam balls. I made them from ordinary polyurethane foam.

They come in different diameters. All kinds of plants and materials are stuck in them. You can use both fresh flowers and branches, and any other materials.

A beautiful bouquet when the cones are turned with their tips forward. It turns out to be a very neat composition. The tips themselves are decorated with beads, ribbons, rhinestones and flowers. They adhere well to hot glue.

How do you like this autumn composition. In my opinion, it is very original.

Also, the cone lends itself well to painting. They can be painted with gouache or spray paints. The color intensity depends on the number of layers.

dense gouache, can also cover the natural brown tint cones.

If you remove the inner branches, then the flowers will turn out to be more open.

Or you can take just one thing and make the center of the composition out of it.

Another idea from the gifts of the forest. Everything that lies at the trunks and under our feet is used.

Agree, cones are an excellent material for creating an autumn bouquet for children in kindergarten.

From pumpkin seeds

Pumpkin seeds also work great as flower petals.

There are two types of buds. The first is to glue the seeds on the paper in several rows. Here is a detailed master class.

The middle can be painted or covered with a piece of dyed cotton wool.

Using plasticine, you can make such daisies.

Or such flowers.

Let's take a closer look at how this is done. Pumpkin seeds are inserted into a plasticine ball in rows. You can form different buds and inflorescence options.

Very interesting too, don't you agree?

From peanut shells

We rarely buy peanuts, but we often pick up the shells from friends after men's gatherings. To make such bouquets for the teachers once a year in the kindergarten.

Whole "hydrangeas" are obtained from pistachios.

It is convenient to attach them to plasticine.

It will be easy for children to make such daisies. Younger children can insert shell petals into plasticine. And the older ones connect them with hot glue.

Using floristic balls (I wrote about them a little higher), you can create the correct spherical shape of a sunflower. See how organic coffee beans look. After all, these are all gifts of autumn.

Whole pistachios and peanuts can be presented as a gift. To do this, combine them into small bags and arrange with corrugated paper.

With walnuts

Of course, walnuts cannot be ignored. You can make an autumn topiary from the shells.

Walnut bouquets with whole fruits look very presentable.

You can close the voids with pieces of napkins.

For interest, you can combine all of the listed natural materials and fruits.

From dried flowers

Dried flowers are very suitable for our autumn theme... They look noble, they can be painted. They will complement any composition.

Anything will do - dry herbs, cereals, leaves.

And here they painted the spikelets.

Cotton flowers wish the composition very delicate and airy.

A beautiful bouquet of dried flowers in a stand decorated with branches.

More ideas for you.

An interesting frame for a bouquet of branches.

We mix dried flowers and roses from leaves.

The golden ears have a very presentable appearance. But you will have to go far to get the material - on the field. Look for wheat that has not yet been harvested.

Dry grass and leaves are harmoniously combined.

I just loved many ideas.

Applications with flowers on the theme of autumn in the middle group

For the older group, you can offer ideas for applications or panels. They are made from leaves, dried flowers, cereals and seeds.

Idea with a vase into which twigs are inserted. Only the side edges and bottom are glued. The top remains free to allow material to be inserted.

Use a box of chocolates as a base and frame for the panel.

Leaves, buds and coffee beans create this autumn bouquet.

Different types of flowers from pumpkin seeds for applique.

Use coniferous branches.

All seeds, seeds and grains adhere well to hot glue.

Paper leaves and flowers are no worse than natural material.

You can also take a regular frame for the base.

You can make applications in the form of bouquets simpler, or more complicated.

Autumn candy and corrugated paper bouquets ideas

Corrugated paper flowers look incredibly realistic and beautiful. For teacher's day, there is an idea for a small bouquet with sweets.

Or such a gift idea.

Flowers for a gift can be packed in autumn leaves.

You can use these flowers without candy.

Let's combine candies with natural materials: dried flowers, cones and leaves.

Composition with sweets in a basket.

And now a detailed master class on creating roses from corrugated paper It is easy to stretch and bend and can mimic real leaves.

Autumn colors are very cheerful and any yellow, orange and red flowers suit them.

I am attaching a video on how you can make several types of flowers.

Corrugated paper is sold in bookstores and stationery stores, in floristic, creative and party areas.

Ideas on how to decorate a bouquet

And now you have already decided what your autumn bouquet will be made of, even blanks are made. But you need to arrange it somehow so that it has a more marketable and presentable appearance!

Therefore, I offer several ideas.

For example, let's take the popular kraft paper today. Or packing dense netting or fabric.

You can make a beautiful envelope from the same corrugated paper. With such a design, it is not a shame to donate your craft.

Insert the craft into a paper bag. It can even be rolled up from scrapbooking sheets.

Polyurethane foam, foam rubber, floral sponge or polystyrene are inserted inside.

Ideas are beautifully obtained from reed napkins.

You will need:

• napkin,
• can,
• cardboard,
• pencil,
• hot glue (glue gun).

We put the jar on the cardboard and circle the bottom. We cut it out and stick it on the tin. We will also glue the sides with cardboard.

We measure the height of the walls of the tin and cut off its size on a napkin. We wrap the sides and fix with hot glue.

That's all you are done.

The bouquet can be placed in hat boxes or shoe packaging. To do this, they are pasted over with a cloth or special paper... The bottom is lined with a film on which we put a floral sponge. We fill it with moisture and begin to form the composition.

There is a fun idea for decorating cans with plastic cocktail tubes. The main thing here is to cut them off neatly and evenly.

Insert dried flowers or paper flowers into paper boxes. Here's one idea. By the way, in this article I described very much, suddenly you will like something.

The cardboard fits very harmoniously into this composition. Original and beautiful.

To congratulate teachers, you can decorate the package with letters.

Or just put the bouquet in the basket. They are now made not only from the vine, but also from newspaper tubes, paper and canton.

Thank you for your attention and wish you a productive joint work. I'm just sure that you will be able to find an idea on your own and create such a composition that you will not be ashamed to present to the teacher and send to the exhibition!

Look at the photos, study simple step-by-step master classes, get ideas and a muse will definitely visit you! And do not forget to collect everything that comes to your feet during your walks - interesting pebbles, twigs, flowers, berries, nuts and other natural material. Set aside a separate box for these treasures - they will definitely come in handy, you'll see.

Golden autumn is the best time for long walks and creativity. Enjoy nature, be inspired to create amazing DIY masterpieces.

The most beautiful autumn crafts from vegetables and fruits with your own hands

With the arrival of autumn in kindergartens and primary school exhibitions of handicrafts made from natural materials are often held. Lately a special niche is occupied by handicrafts made from vegetables and fruits. They turn out to be very bright and quite interesting.

Most often, parents find out about such art exhibitions the day before. And you have to quickly gather your thoughts, the necessary materials and create something beautiful in a hurry.

I want to offer you several master classes on simple crafts from vegetables. You don't have to run around your neighbors looking for necessary material... Also, the creative process will not take too long, and you even have time for a night's sleep.

Mushroom glade

A simple craft that requires the following materials:

• Cardboard sheet or box lid
• Leaves or greens for herbs
• Carrot
• Apple
• Potato
• Toothpicks

In the lid from under the box, we will make a clearing for which you can collect fallen leaves on the way home from the garden or school.

Let's make the mushrooms. The legs are slices of carrots, the caps are halves of a potato or apple.

We fasten all the parts together with toothpicks. We set the mushrooms themselves in the clearing with the help of pieces of plasticine.

You can also make bugs from plasticine and put them on mushrooms.

Piglets

For this craft, prepare the following materials:

• Potato
• Plasticine
• Plastic plate
• Paper napkin (or corrugated paper)

From a plate and a napkin we make a base on which our "pigs" will sit.

For piglets, we make ears-triangles, piglets, eyes, tails from plasticine.

Very simple and fast. You don't even have to suffer - your baby will gladly blind all the necessary components.

Funny little people

But what kind of cuties can be made from potatoes. You will need:

• Potato
• Pumpkin or large zucchini
• Markers
• White paper

Cut the pumpkin in half, make a "boat" for funny little people.

For funny muzzles from white paper, cut out circles-eyes, draw pupils on them, glue them to potatoes.

We finish the rest with felt-tip pens - noses, mouths.

Children will love this unusual drawing on vegetables, so be sure to involve them in making crafts.

Potatoes are an excellent vegetable that is easy to work with and a variety of fantasies are easily born. For example, here are such a simple cock and dog. or a cute ant that can be done in just 10 minutes. Just go to the courtyard to hunt for sticks beforehand.

Or cut out the following candlesticks from large potatoes:

Caterpillars made from apples and grapes are beautiful and bright.

Caterpillar

For such a beauty, we need:

• Apples
• Grapes
• Carrot
• Toothpicks, skewers

1. In the apple, which will be the muzzle, we cut out the "eye sockets" into which we insert the grape eyes with the help of toothpicks. For the mouth, we also make a small horizontal incision, insert a "smile" into it.
2. We string grapes on skewers - we make "horns".
3. We connect the apples to each other - this will be the "body" to which we attach the "head".
4. Cut the carrots into circles. We make "legs" for our caterpillar.
5. You can seat such a beauty in an impromptu meadow. It can be easily made from a plastic plate and leaves. additional materials and such caterpillars are made from apples.

You can fantasize a lot about animals. Hedgehogs are especially popular. They can be made from any material - potatoes, pears, apples.

Hedgehog

To create a cute forest dweller, we need:

• Zucchini
• Apple
• Rowan berries
• Twigs, leaves
• Toothpicks, plasticine

From the leaves and twigs, we will make a clearing in the lid from under the box.

We make the hedgehog from the vegetable marrow. We sculpt the eyes and nose from plasticine, pin them with toothpicks. After that, you can make "thorns".

Everything is simple here - insert the toothpicks into the zucchini and you're done!

We put a small apple on the back of the hedgehog, decorate with rowan berries. If you have dried mushrooms, they can come in handy too.

To make it you will need:

• Sheet (A 4) of blue or blue cardboard

• Glue, scissors

Cut out a rectangle from brown paper - this will be the trunk of a tree. Also cut out two rectangles. Green colour- it will be grass.

Cut out rectangles from red, yellow, orange paper, glue them in the form of rings.

Then we glue the prepared elements onto cardboard in the form of an autumn tree.

Another autumn association is harvesting. Therefore, consider one more interesting idea applications called

Harvest

You can store a variety of fruits all year round. All you need for this:

Or you can put fruit in a "jar" - and a compote will come out that will amuse your kid, and he will want to "roll up" more than one such jar!

Umbrella

It often rains in the fall. In order not to get wet, let's make a bright voluminous umbrella from colored paper and cardboard. For this craft we need:

Using adhesive tape, glue the tube to a sheet of cardboard at a distance of 2 - 3 cm from the bottom edge.

We make an umbrella from multi-colored squares. To do this, we twist each leaf in the shape of a cone, fasten it with glue.

Then we glue the blanks together.

Then we glue the umbrella to the cardboard.

We fold the rectangles made of white and blue paper like an accordion. Draw a half of "rain drops" on the fold and cut it out.

Let's make the droplets volumetric. Take three droplets - 2 blue, 1 white, glue them together.

To do this, take a blue drop, fold it in half, grease one of the halves with glue, glue the white drop. Similarly, glue the second blue drop to the white one.
