Make crafts golden autumn. Apple tree from a cardboard roll. Ideas for inspiration
You should not take the message that you need to bring a craft made together with your child to the kindergarten as another life "strained". At the first moment, such a thought may run through the ever-preoccupied head of the parents, but it will not linger for a long time, that's for sure.
Especially when you go online and see what crafts you can make from the generous gifts of autumn. This is a whole fascinating world, you will certainly want to do something with your own hands together with your baby, and it will definitely not be just one craft.
This is a very correct tradition, to organize exhibitions of crafts in the kindergarten on the theme of autumn with your own hands, it has been going on since Soviet times. Psychologists have repeatedly noted the importance of this event and the active participation of parents in it together with their children.
We begin this most interesting work by preparing material for creativity. And where can you collect it in the fall, of course, for a walk! Together with mom and dad on the day off, the child goes to quite an adult business, to collect the gifts of autumn.
A walk can be through the forest, or through the city park, and you can also take a walk on your site or cottage, everywhere it will be incredibly interesting for both you and your child.

In addition, if you decide to do crafts in the garden on the theme of autumn with your own hands from vegetables, then you should also collect a small number of them:
- apples, pears, quince;
- the fruits of viburnum and chokeberry (not forgetting the leaves), picking them along with the twigs.
- pumpkin and zucchini are also great material for crafts, especially small ones and bizarre shapes;

- a couple of leaves of thick paper, you can also color;
- braid of the thickness you need;
- threads;
- needle;
- scissors;

Crafts in the garden from natural material
Surely, when you walked with your child and discussed the topic of crafts in the kindergarten on the theme of autumn with your own hands (photo), you had far from one great idea. Nevertheless, you can still use our advice, or take some details from the described process.
Composition with chestnuts
Put pieces of moss in a small cardboard lid from the box, or cover the bottom with beautiful leaves.
Large leaves are carefully strung on wires and placed on the back wall of the composition. We decorate the wall of leaves by adding a dried autumn flower or a sprig of viburnum.
From chestnuts we make a figure of cheburashka, for which we alternately string them on toothpicks.
On one of the chestnuts from below we draw the face of a Cheburashka, having previously covered the surface with white paint.
We assemble the entire structure of the figurine, as shown in the photo.
In the same way, we design a figurine of a cat and dumbbells, arrange everything on the existing impromptu site. You can approach the work on crafts in the garden from the theme of autumn from natural material with your own hands more creatively and add something else of your own.
Chestnut caterpillar
We are preparing a stand for our craft, it can be just a piece of cardboard. We cover the stand with leaves.
We pierce the chestnuts one by one with a wire corresponding to the intended length of the caterpillar.
We lay our stylized caterpillar on the leaves, giving its body a certain bend characteristic of movement.
We decorate the caterpillar with multi-colored plasticine rings, placing them between the chestnuts.
On the first largest chestnut, we depict the eyes, nose and mouth of the caterpillar using plasticine.
From above we stick bright horns, also made of toothpicks and plasticine.
Hedgehog made of plasticine and sticks
On the surface for crafts, we lay out an arbitrarily peculiar autumn still life of leaves, thuja twigs, viburnum or mountain ash berries. The red color of these berries will give a special flavor to the autumn motif depicted on the surface.
We make roses from large leaves. For which we simply bend them in half and roll them up with a tube characteristic of a rose. We fix the structure by making a stitch from the bottom with a needle and thread.
Having prepared a stylized fragment of the autumn forest, we proceed to the implementation of the hedgehog itself, for which we sculpt it from plasticine.
Leaving the muzzle of the hedgehog intact, we pierce the entire body with thin twigs, you can use toothpicks or matches, but with twigs it turns out more believable.
On the needles, you can place a small apple, real or handmade, and you can also replace the apple with a mushroom, grapes, just a leaf, as you like.
Fragment of autumn forest with inhabitants
On a cardboard for crafts in a kindergarten on the theme of autumn with your own hands (pictures) from leaves, we lay out the autumn soil, as in the previous descriptions. You can perform the composition and just on a blank sheet of paper.
We select beautiful leaves from various trees, put each leaf on a wire, which we wrap in brown plasticine, stylizing the tree itself.
On the prepared base, we arbitrarily lay out the bases of trees made of plasticine, into which we insert the trees. Here is an easy and simple autumn forest.
Now the most interesting thing, from cones of various sizes and configurations, as well as multi-colored plasticine, we sculpt a variety of bizarre and bright characters of fabulous forest animals.
There will be no limit to your child's delight, because modern children so lack communication with mom and dad, so for them this joint work will become a real holiday.
Crafts from vegetables
If you didn’t have enough time for a walk with the collection of gifts of nature, then you can make crafts for an autumn-themed garden from fruits and vegetables. There is also a large field for the application of your creative possibilities with your child.
Pumpkin forest hut
We depict on the surface for crafts in the garden on the theme of autumn with our own hands (pictures) from vegetables a forest glade. To do this, we show imagination, lay out moss, leaves, add flowers for brightness.
We sculpt one or two hedgehogs from plasticine and seeds, choose a place for them in the foreground of the composition.
A little to the side we put a figurine of a forest scarecrow made of carrots and parsley, it is very simple and quick to complete it, like the whole composition.
We put a pumpkin in the center of the composition, having previously done some preparation. On the pumpkin, first a cut is made on the side surface, then a window is cut out with a sharp knife.
From above we close our forest hut with a bundle of straw, as shown in the photo.
fruit vase
Pumpkin is the most popular vegetable in the manufacture of autumn crafts, it is a pleasure to work with it, there is room for fantasy to roam. What virtuoso carriages are obtained using it is just a fairy tale, but we offer the simplest crafts for the busiest parents.
We will make a vase in the shape of a chicken, for which we first clean the pumpkin from the peel and seeds, and then we make artistic cuts. The cutting is carried out with a slight asymmetry on one side, the height of which should be less.
We don’t throw out the trimmings, they will make a tail for a chicken, our do-it-yourself crafts from vegetables in the kindergarten on the theme of autumn with our own hands, photos are provided.
We fill our vase with various available fruits, preferably grapes and some berries.
We put a beautiful colored napkin on a small tray and place the pumpkin with fruits, laying it on its side, long side down.
We stick pumpkin trimmings, you get a beautiful tail.
On the short upper side of the pumpkin we fix a small white radish, peeled from the tails.
We stylize the radish under the head of a chicken with a scallop.
We lay out fruits on the remaining surface of the tray, our composition is ready.
Lamb with a bouquet of carrots
Also incredibly simple, but very effective crafts, you will need two heads of cauliflower, a few carrots, pepper.
From some carrots we cut four legs, stick long toothpicks into each, arrange the parts of the carrots on a stand ready.
On other carrots, we make longitudinal notches in four places. After that, a part of the prepared carrot, about half, cut across.
We string circles of carrots on long toothpicks, we get stylized flowers. We stick the other end of the toothpick of each flower into the rest of the carrot, we have a vase of flowers.
Having prepared a stand for a lamb, do-it-yourself crafts from vegetables in a kindergarten on the theme of autumn (photo), we proceed to its execution. First, cut off the stalks of the cauliflower heads.
We put the largest and, preferably, slightly oblong head of cabbage on toothpicks in carrots. Next, in the second head we connect with the first with the help of toothpicks.
At the junction, we strengthen the pepper of any color and decorate the eyes in any way. Two reinforced leaves will serve as our ears.
Cheburashka from potatoes
You can also submit just a cute cheburashka to the competition, it is very simple, but it turns out to be a rather touching craft.
We take two as large as possible potatoes of any color, make a cut from one side.
From another large potato, cut the head and ears, connect everything with toothpicks. On one side of the head we make out a muzzle, inserting buttons and a bead.
The mouth is made from potato scraps.
We cut two small potatoes into two unequal parts, these will be the “handles” and “legs” of the cheburashka, we attach them to the body with toothpicks.
On one side we attach a bouquet of flowers, just a miracle, what a cute creature!
Zucchini and carrot machine
You choose the size of the machine yourself, depending on what size you have this vegetable. By the way, you can make such a machine from a zucchini.
We start with carrots, cut four wheels from it and the rear design of the machine.
We fix the wheels with long carnations with caps. We make the rear wheel carved to decorate the car.
We cut off a ring from another fruit, 5-6 cm wide, cut it in half, clean out the seeds, install it on top of the car as a body, fix it with toothpicks.
In front and behind we cut out windows in the “body”, and on top we fix half of a small potato.
Great craft for toddlers.
Cucumber caterpillar
This craft will turn out spectacular only from a long thin greenhouse cucumber.
We cut the cucumber and carrot into rings of the same thickness, then we string everything alternately on a thin wire.
We make eyes, nose and mouth, insert horns from green onion feathers. We lay the caterpillar on a stand, you can also lay it out with leaves and moss.
Crafts from cones
Cones are also the most popular material for crafts, available and presented by nature in a wide variety. We advise you to collect cones on a walk in the fall as much as possible, because the New Year is ahead, so they will still be very useful to us.
Hedgehog
From gray fabric we sew an oblong bag with one elongated end, which will be the muzzle of a hedgehog. Turn the bag right side out and stuff it with cotton.
We decorate the muzzle of a hedgehog by sewing on eyes - beads, a nose - a button, a mouth and antennae from improvised material.
Stepping back a little from the narrow part of the bag, we alternately sew pre-prepared cones to the body of the hedgehog.
After the hedgehog is ready, decorate it with autumn gifts, depending on what you have, so the hedgehog will be much brighter and more attractive.
You can leave the hedgehog as a completely self-sufficient craft in the garden of cones (pictures) on the theme of autumn with your own hands. However, if you have the material and time, then it is better to additionally depict a fragment of a forest autumn landscape on the stand, where to put our craft - a hedgehog made of cones.
Thematic composition
This craft is also very simple and quick to do, it is quite suitable for children of the younger group.
We cut out a circle from cardboard, you can lay out leaves and moss, put a sprig of mountain ash, make mushrooms from plasticine and distribute them in a clearing.
Stepping back from the edge of the circle 5 centimeters, we install a plasticine flagellum on our round stand, gluing it to the stand around the circle.
We glue the cones to the plasticine tourniquet, pressing them tightly against each other. It turned out a kind of fabulous forest glade, surrounded by fir trees. If you wish, you can also paint these fir-cones with green paint.
In a clearing, you can place several large or small potato hedgehogs, which will not be difficult to cook.
forest dwellers
Not only hedgehogs can be made from cones, although in crafts this is the most popular choice of authors. We offer a simple craft from cones (pictures) to the garden on the theme of autumn with our own hands, a romantic scene in the forest.
The best option for a stand for this mise-en-scene would be a wood circle of any thickness, but if it is not available, just a piece of cardboard will do.
From 2 cones of a rounded shape and more massive, we collect a figurine of a forest hero, connecting them with plasticine.
From thinner and “slender” cones we assemble a figurine of a forest beauty, also using plasticine.
From the branches we select legs and arms for our forest dwellers, fasten them to the body, also using plasticine.
We attach the legs to the hero with the appropriate scope, symbolizing his kneeling state. Hands - sticks, should be attached tightly to each other, between them we insert a beautiful autumn bouquet of flowers.
From clothes, it is quite enough for him to attach a long leaf at the back and glue his eyes.
You will have to work hard on the image of the beauty, pick up slender stick legs, attach them with plasticine. Hands should be open, but not for hugs, but in surprise.
As far as fantasy allows, we dress up our beauty, we must attach an ornament made of mountain ash strung on a thread to the neck.
We attach a hat to the head and set surprised eyes. What a beautiful romantic autumn scene in the forest!
penguin family
Incredibly beautiful and very easy to do crafts, it may well decorate your home. It may seem that this topic is not entirely autumnal, but this is only at first glance, nature gives us cones in autumn.
We select a beautiful stand for this craft, cut it out figuratively and decorate it at our discretion.
We paint two small cones with white paint, you can apply silver glitter. We paint two large cones and one small one with black paint.
After the paint dries, on one side we apply white paint - a breast of penguins.
On the stand we strengthen symmetrically two white cones - Christmas trees.
We attach handles, heads, eyes, beaks and mouths to the penguins, set them on a stand, add something fluffy and shiny, additionally decorating the picture.
Children's crafts on the theme of Autumn - an inexhaustible ground for creativity. To create them, you can use natural materials that have already become traditional, and other interesting objects and things.
Such simple ideas help children discover all the facets of creativity and learn to see particles of the natural world around them, even in familiar household items.
In autumn, children and adults return to the topic of studying vegetables. Why not make a visual aid - a carrot? We glue orange paper in the form of a roll.
We glue it on both sides at different angles. Cut corners on one side. Glue the chopped greens. Paper carrot is ready!
Apple tree from a paper plate
A truly autumn craft can be made from a disposable plate. All you need is to paint the outside of the bottom of the plate green or yellow with a foam sponge.
and apply red dots to the painted surface with cotton swabs.
We glue a rectangular piece of brown cardboard from below - and now the autumn apple tree is ready. Such an apple tree will become even more attractive if you use some small round objects as apples, gluing them with polymer glue.
You can make a cute autumn applique on a disposable plate.
Apple tree from a cardboard roll
In the same way, you can arrange the crown of a tree, the trunk of which is made from half a roll of toilet paper. We glue the half to an A4 sheet and decorate the upper part with pieces of soft colored paper.
Small red buttons imitating autumn apples will complement the image.
If you use a single roll of paper, you get a voluminous tree. We put red dots on green paper - these are future apples. Let the paint dry
To keep the crown better, before fixing it on the trunk, we cut the roll from the top side and bend the strips outward.
We insert the crumpled paper into the roll, forming the crown of the apple tree.
Forest from cardboard rolls
An autumn tree can be made from cardboard rolls and real autumn leaves. We cut the cardboard rolls and paint them brown. We prepare leaves and other natural autumn materials: acorns, chestnuts, mountain ash, branches, maple seeds.
We glue leaves and other gifts of autumn to cardboard rolls. You can decorate the resulting piece of autumn forest with two charming plasticine and chestnut hedgehogs.
palm tree
You can make an even more original decorative tree: we will circle the child’s handle on brown cardboard to the elbow,
cut out and paste over it with multi-colored paper autumn leaves. This craft can be used as a window decoration. In this case, we apply the cut out handle and leaves to transparent adhesive paper and also cover it with adhesive paper on the reverse side.
Autumn tree - window decoration
Leaves application can be placed on a cardboard stand - we will get a worthy exhibit of the autumn exhibition.
Craft on the theme of autumn "tree of leaves"
crumpled paper tree
An interesting application is a tree made of crumpled paper.
We form a trunk and branches from it.
Then we glue bright yellow-red lumps of napkins or paper for packaging on them instead of leaves and fruits.
Autumn tree from the package
The package is cut into small strips, which are then twisted into tree branches. To make the craft more durable, you should first apply glue to the paper strips. Leaves are glued to the branches of a tree. The curved shape of the twisted strips makes it look like a fairy tree.
Autumn tree made of threads
For crafts, we glue a sheet of cardboard with a cone. Then we take a thick yarn and wind it layer by layer on the cone, fixing it on the glue (it is better to apply the glue gradually on the cone itself). You can decorate the top with a pompom and glue felt leaves on top. It will turn out a very unusual and spectacular autumn tree.
Autumn pendant from the gifts of autumn
As a do-it-yourself craft on the theme of autumn for the school, you can make a beautiful pendant from natural materials - tree twigs, pine and spruce cones, dried physalis nuts and other components.
Such a product will organically fit into a school office or hall.
Hedgehog from a plastic bottle and cones
You can use cones to create funny characters like hedgehogs. We take a small plastic bottle as the basis of the craft and wrap it with a thick cloth. We begin to glue cones one after another on the fabric. We glue the whole bottle in this way.
Glue the eyes and ears on the hedgehog. We decorate the craft with autumn gifts - apples, mountain ash, twigs. Hedgehog from cones and a bottle - ready!

From thin branches we weave a nest. We weave leaves into the nest, trying to close the gaps between the branches.
We glue the eyes and beak to the birds, then place them in the nest. Such crafts can easily decorate any autumn exhibition.
Another entertaining and very simple autumn-themed craft is a cone tree. From thin paper we make balls of "autumn" colors - green, orange, yellow, red. We apply glue to the "scales" of the cones and insert paper balls into them.

Salt dough autumn crafts
Salt dough makes very beautiful autumn hedgehogs.
Another fun fall idea for kids of all ages is making a salt dough pendant. We color the pieces of dough in the colors of the autumn range. We roll them into layers about one centimeter thick and cut out leaves of different shapes and sizes with the help of molds.
We dry the leaves in the open air and hang them by strings from a tree branch.
A very beautiful composition on the theme of autumn can be made from a mass for modeling that hardens in the air. We roll out the mass in a thin layer and press a real autumn leaf to it. Cut out the imprint of the sheet with a stack.
We make a hole in the upper part. We are waiting for the mass to dry and paint it in bright autumn colors. The resulting leaves are hung on a stick. The composition "autumn leaves" is ready!

Glue yellow leaves and yellow grass. We decorate the sky with clouds and a flock of flying birds. We plant mushrooms, a Christmas tree, a Christmas tree and a hare on the ground.
Plasticine vegetables have become classics of autumn crafts.
Leaf applications
Another great idea for autumn creativity is leaf appliqués. One of the most favorite themes for applications are fish and the seabed.
You can decorate a cardboard tree trunk with real dry autumn leaves. Even the smallest kids will love this simple applique.
Application from the leaves "tree"
From a leaf from a newspaper, you can make a beautiful autumn postcard with a mushroom.
With the help of a laminator and real autumn leaves, you can make an interesting manual for children. We collect leaves from different types of trees. It is advisable to collect several pieces from each type of tree: three oak leaves, four maple leaves, three rowan leaves, five willow leaves, two chestnut leaves, three alder leaves. We laminate them.
Cut out the laminated leaves.
The educational purpose of the manual: to acquaint children with the types of trees and be able to distinguish between them. We invite the children to sort the leaves by type and name them.

Beautiful crafts, thanks!
A find for those who make crafts on the theme of autumn with a child in kindergarten! (alevita)
Autumn is a great time for needlework, 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 yellow and crimson tones. In this article you will find 6 DIY autumn craft ideas for adults and children with step-by-step master classes and a selection of photos for inspiration.
Idea 1. Autumn topiary
Topiary is an ornamental tree that can be used to decorate a dining table, mantel or front door space. 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, linen and everything that your imagination tells you. In the next slider you can see some examples of such fall crafts.
Materials:
- clay pot;
- Wooden stick or branch;
- Two balls of styrofoam or floral foam;
- Materials for decorating the crown;
- Dry moss (you can replace it with sisal);
- Glue gun and a few sticks of glue;
- Scissors;
- Side cutters or secateurs;
- Acrylic paints for painting the barrel, bowl and pot (optional).
Instruction:
Step 1. Cut a hole in the base ball with a sharp object about a third of its diameter deep. Drop hot glue into the hole and insert the barrel into it.
Step 2 Insert the second ball into the pot. If the ball is not tight enough in the pot, lay newspaper around it. Cut a hole in the ball for the trunk 2-3 cm deep. Insert the trunk with the crown into the hole and adjust its length. Next, drop glue into the hole of the ball, place the barrel in it and start filling the hole with glue, placing small pieces of paper around the barrel. This is necessary so that the hot glue does not deepen 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 building 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. If necessary, paint the barrel and/or balls at this stage. It is desirable to paint the balls so that the gaps between the decorative details are invisible.
Step 4. While the paint on our blank dries, sort the decorative details by type and size. If you use artificial leaves, flowers and berries with a wire base, then when cutting them off, leave “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 on more securely . If the "stems" do not have wire, then it is better to cut the parts "under the root".
Step 5. Now it's time for the fun part - creating the crown. First, evenly distribute and glue the largest parts onto the ball, then the medium ones. Lastly, fill in the gaps with small decorations.
Step 6. Well, that's all, it remains only to decorate the ball in a pot with dry moss or sisal, having previously treated it with glue.
Idea 2. Pumpkins from toilet paper rolls
And here is another idea for an autumn vegetable-themed craft that you can make with children - pumpkins from toilet paper rolls. The possibilities for decorating these crafts are endless. For example, children can use colored paper, gouache or glitter, while adults can use gold leaf, fabric or lace.
Materials:
- Bushings from toilet paper or paper towels;
- Scissors;
- Leg-split;
- For decor: brushes, gouache or acrylic paints, PVA glue and sequins or book pages, etc .;
- Cinnamon sticks or sprigs (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 whatever material you like, such as kraft paper, scrapbooking paper, fabric, ribbons, or simply paint them with acrylic paint. You can also decorate the pumpkins exactly as in this master class - with sequins and stripes of book pages.
Method 1. Using a brush, grease the outer sides of all the rings with PVA glue, and then generously sprinkle glitter on them. Wait for the blanks to dry, and then cover the sparkles with a second layer of PVA glue to protect them from shedding.
Method 2. Cut out thin strips of paper from book pages and glue them to the rings with PVA glue or glue stick.
Step 3. To form your pumpkin, pass the 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 branches into the center of the pumpkin.
Step 5. Hooray, your pumpkins are almost ready, it remains only to add to them the leaves cut out of burlap, felt, cardboard or any other material at hand.
By the same principle, you can make a pumpkin from rings of any material.
Idea 3. Panel of leaves
Next, we present you the idea of \u200b\u200bcrafts from autumn leaves. Since this master class does not use hot glue and sharp objects, you can safely involve children in the work, and especially in collecting material.
An idea for an autumn craft made from natural materials that you can make with your children and use for seasonal home decoration
Materials:
Instruction:
Step 1. Cut the tree with a jigsaw and sand the ends with sandpaper.
Step 2. Paint the board with 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. Start gluing the pre-dried leaves (see how to dry 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. At the same time, you should not glue the leaves completely, let their tops be a little free so that the panel acquires some volume. On each glued leaflet, put some suitable size press for a minute.
Keep in mind that the leaves will not stick immediately, but after the glue dries they will stick well.
Step 5. To make the contours of the picture clearer, trim the leaves in some places. However, try to resort to such correction as little as possible so as not to lose the beauty of natural lines.
Step 6. Now attach a branch to your panel in place of the stem, break off the excess and glue it.
The following selection of photos presents 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 panel of leaves with a frame of acorns with your own hands.
Idea 4. Wind music from natural materials and not only
The following project is an example of an interesting, but very easy-to-make craft from natural materials and ready-made parts, which a child can do almost independently.
Materials:
- Two or one sticks;
- Natural and factory-made materials for decorating threads: pine cones, flat stones, acorns, wooden beads, metal small candle holders (used in this project) and everything that comes to hand and matches the theme of autumn;
- Leg-split;
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks.
Step 1. Paint some elements of the future wind music, if necessary. In this master class, the author painted the pebbles in bright yellow and red colors.
Step 2. While the decorations are drying, tie two sticks crosswise 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 ropes of twine to 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 chimes, take a piece of twine and start stringing beads or other details on it, passing the ropes through the holes twice or tightening them well into knots. Stones should be additionally fixed with hot glue. In order not to be mistaken with the order, the parts should first be decomposed in the desired order. By the way, it is better to place especially sonorous elements opposite each other so that their chime in the wind can be heard better.
Step 5. Tie knots at the end of each rope.
Step 6. After each thread is finished, tie them to the branches in double knots with the addition of a 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 salt dough
Leaves can be used not only as a decorative or finishing material, but also as a template and 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 from salt 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:
- Salt Dough Ingredients: ½ cup salt, ½ cup water, 1 cup flour;
- Container for kneading dough;
- glass bowl;
- rolling pin;
- Large leaves;
- Vegetable oil;
- Acrylic paints in yellow, red, orange and brown.
Instruction:
Step 1. The first thing to do is go for a walk with the whole family and find at least two beautiful large leaves.
Step 2. Then knead the salty dough. To do this, simply mix all the ingredients and roll out the dough to about 6 mm thick (no less), so that it is not too thick, but not too brittle.
Step 3. Spread your leaves on the dough and go 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. Put the bowls of dough in the oven, preheated to 250 degrees and leave them to bake for 2-3 hours.
Step 8 Remove your pastries from the oven and let them cool without removing them from the bowls for about 15 minutes. Then carefully 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 themselves and paint the inside of the leaves first, and then the outside. Salt dough crafts are quite 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 haze and make it a little stronger.
bowl painting
Leaf shapes may vary.
By the way, if you do not 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. Felt garland
Felt, although it is not a natural material, crafts from it turn out to be the most autumnal. Today we offer you to make the simplest garland of felt leaves.
Materials:
- Several sheets of felt in autumn colors;
- Leg-split;
- Scissors;
- Glue;
- Thick threads with a needle;
- Pencil.
Instruction:
Step 1. Download and print the leaf templates (see template for download below), then cut them out and outline the outlines.
Step 2. Cut out the blanks.
Step 3. Sew the veins by hand with large stitches.
Step 4. Now, maintaining an equal interval, hang the leaves on the twine. To do this, wrap the tail of each leaf around the twine and fix with glue. You can sew on details if you wish. Voila, the autumn felt garland is ready!
Following the principles of this simple master class, you can create a variety of garlands with decorations in the form of acorns, cones, pumpkins, etc. The following selection of photos shows some examples of autumn felt garlands.
How to dry leaves and flowers
Method 1. This method is suitable if you want applications or other bulky crafts. Spread sheets or flowers between the pages of the book at a distance of about 3 mm from each other and shift them to other pages every day (also observing an 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 upside down in a dry but ventilated area. At the same time, keep in mind that from the sun's rays the leaves will lose their color completely, and in the shade they will remain.
Method 3. This method is suitable for drying and preserving the color of leaves and cornflowers. Blot fresh, freshly picked 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 resulting "sandwich". Preheat the iron and make sure the steam mode is off. Iron the paper towel with pressure for 2-5 minutes. Turn the "sandwich" over and iron it through the paper towel again, then carefully remove the wax paper.
- So that the dried leaves and flowers do not break, they must be dipped in a solution of water and PVA glue, diluted in a 4: 1 ratio, and then left to dry.

We were inspired to create the “Wind Catcher” by the bright colors of autumn and multi-colored autumn leaves, which easily give in to every breath of the wind, tremble on the branches of trees, break off and, circling in the air stream, smoothly or in a whirlwind fall to the ground. We used thin oak branches as a base, twisted them into a ring and secured them with threads, then tied them a little with oak leaves, chestnuts, acorns, berries, vesicles, rose hips and pears in sugar, and at the very top, in front of the loop for fastening, we passed thread through a small green apple. Pendants are made of birch and maple leaves, they are fixed with a transparent fishing line to create the effect of weightlessness.

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

share with their findings. All or almost all of us have to do crafts with children for kindergarten or school… You will also find fantasies here for home creativity with kids.
Let's start with trees...
And now pumpkins...
You don't have to do everything according to a specific master class... And strictly adhere to the proposed topic. Can just take a diy idea and remake it in your own way.
Candle fantasies...
Autumn Queen Accessories…
Papier-mâché… And not only…
Well I did not put the owls first again. And so they are always the first and most important with us ...
There are, in addition to owls, and other living creatures…
And again - handy material. Not only the one that was found in the forest ... But also "home" ... For example, pistachio shells...
And door (wall) wreaths… are good not only in the New Year and Christmas… In autumn they especially cozy and bright get...
And again pumpkins... Some have plenty of them in their dachas! I am not a country lover (no-no): my mother just gives me buckets of vegetables. But my godmother gave me a pumpkin last year. Ahhh... Maybe I'm Cinderella?
If you don't understand how cover with leaves or dough bowl from below, to get such beauty, look at the master classes ...
Lots of people make baskets these days. A very popular piece. On this topic "Gifts of Autumn"... Well, the baskets are really very colorful and juicy ...
And again leaves ... And again owls ... And a lot of art ...
In our kindergarten, Alice in the group is very talented, kind and hardworking teachers- Olga Grigorievna and Anna Sergeevna. They love children. And love with them make all sorts of things in the educational process ... Or draw ...
We have crafts for children in kindergarten educators left on a large panel- attached to paper clips that hang on fishing lines ... Now I will find a post in the magazine when we made such a panel (with owls, of course) for crafts ...
Some parents ignore creativity... They say that paints are a lot of dirt and stains - you can only get by with pencils or felt-tip pens ... Yes, and only kala-mala comes out ... And plasticine, they say, the child does not understand - rejects ... Start Small- just give the child the materials. In a couple of sessions ... Then again ... And then start gradually advise and help... To encourage creativity, to creation ... I also don’t really like dolls and LEGO, smeared with plasticine ... But accuracy, diligence and imagination... they won’t be taken from a child from anywhere if you don’t work. Daily.
Of course, there is never enough time. Of course, a lot of work and household chores. But child gets excited that his autumn work is also at an exhibition in a kindergarten or at school. It - pride yourself and your family...
Maybe this year... Maybe next... It is your work that will recognized at the exhibition as the best. Prize money even. It will be a beautiful day. In the meantime, let autumn candles warm family evenings, and photo frames decorated with leaves or acorns flaunt on the shelves ...
By the way, we once with a friend of papier-mâché just giant mushrooms made... All the children made with a palm height ... And we have ... Giants. Mutants ...)))
Who hasn't read my 100 ideas for autumn be sure to read. And apply - partially ...
We a lot of things with Alice and Shura have already been applied and done I'll tell you in other posts...
And I'll show you not today or tomorrow ... roller autumn… And pictures. By last autumn. We have such a beautiful there was a family shoot. It's just complicated for a video combination of video and photo… So I wait until Shura finish installation. As long as he has a lot of work to do.
P.S. Yes, I show you very few personal and family pictures. You will get tired of me otherwise ...
