Hello subscribers!

It's bad weather outside, maybe the sun is shining? It doesn't matter, because we have an unforgettable time of the year ahead of us. It will be in multi-colored colors and with many surprises, because autumn always presents us with its gifts. But, besides this, it also opens up its natural wealth to us. That is why in schools and kindergartens crafts are immediately made from natural materials, together with other components. It can be vegetables, as well as paper or plasticine, and more. other.

Children, well, just love all this creative work, because they get different funny toys that they can then play with.

In addition to all this, you can even take autumn leaves and fold them into masterpieces or bouquets and insert them into or make something. Well, that's not all, cool souvenirs come out of ordinary cones. So, if you're interested, take a moment and scroll through the entire note from beginning to end. I am sure you will find a lot of interesting ideas of what can be made from natural materials.

Well, if you have any thoughts on this topic, please share below the article and write your feedback and comments.

I would like to start this conversation with something that you do not even mean and cannot imagine that everything is much simpler than you think. It turns out that to make masterpieces, you can take the most ordinary sticks, twigs, or maybe you have pebbles or shells. In general, we always have all this at hand, so why not use it.

I propose to focus on products made of stones, which are always available in any area. If you were somewhere on vacation, you could bring these with you. It is advisable to take, of course, smooth pebbles. Take a log or plank and carefully glue the intended composition with a glue gun. Here you can make flowers for example. And to make the craft brighter and more aesthetic, paint it, for this use acrylic paints.


Quite popular is the product in the form of a hedgehog, take a look. In my opinion, there is still not enough mushroom or autumn leaves. So it's easy to fix, take colored paper and cut out the desired image.


You can decorate the whole picture, make such a cheerful family in the form of birds on wood. As you can see, ordinary sticks are also involved here.


Oh, and by the way, do a still life.


For the smallest kids, take the following composition as a basis. Draw a maple leaf or some other on a piece of cardboard or A4 and then decorate it with multi-colored stones.


And if it's even simpler, then choose this minimalist picture. Which do not forget to decorate with multi-colored paints.


A bird's nest made of straw can be a great idea. You need to cut a circle out of cardboard.


And twist the flagellum from the straw.


And then twist a nest out of it along the diameter of the circle and fix the ends with threads.


In this way, wind in a spiral, so that in the end you get a bed in the form of a cup, glue the straw on the glue.



Then fill the souvenir with fluff or feathers and lay eggs, cones.


If you are a lover of pumpkin or sunflower seeds, then you can create something fantastically beautiful. Take a look at this photo. It was awesome! The author took and decorated a hedgehog, and his spines with ordinary seeds and painted autumn.


But here pumpkin seeds were used, by the way, you can come up with a lot of all kinds of masterpieces from them. In I have already shown you several of these works. Now I'll show you this one. Who knows, the seeds are painted with paints, gouache or acrylic, and then glued.

Here the artist did not use glue, but planted everything on plasticine. The tree trunk is made of buckwheat grains.



A stork is also made from pumpkin seeds, such a panel comes out, or hang it like a picture on the wall and admire.

I was shocked by another amazing and cool craft, I mean a chicken from which the author made different seeds. For this masterpiece, you need pumpkin and sunflower seeds, as well as plasticine.


1. From plasticine, mold the base, that is, the head and body of the bird.


2. Then start decorating the chicken by sticking the seeds one by one, as shown in the picture. First there will be wings.


3. And then the ponytail. It already looks funny.

Do everything carefully and take your time, it is from your efforts that success will await you.



5. Make a crest from red plasticine, and a beak from yellow.



I also really liked such trees made of beans and watermelon seeds.


And you can also combine several types of natural material and get a picture. For example, how oats are also used here, and the rim is made from corn kernels.


And remember, in childhood, airplanes were allowed, so I also recommend making souvenirs from them. I mean maple.


This also includes crafts made from dry materials. Such a radiant sun.

Or a clearing and a woodsman.


Above all, use straw or acorns.


You will get not only paintings, but also little men and insects from chestnuts.


At school, I always remember that at labor lessons they made such cheldobeks.


Well, if you have a handful of pistachios lying around, or rather a peel, then imagine you can become a real decorator. Make this topiary.


Well, or a vase and insert dried or fresh flowers into it.


Well, in conclusion to this chapter, I want to impress you. I found one fun pattern that you can easily follow. All you need is a board, nails and woolen threads.

Circle the maple leaf on the plywood and drive in the carnations along the contour.


Walk along the contour with an orange thread.


Then begin to confuse in a chaotic manner, as if applying patterns, a spider's web. Great, did you do it?


I also like such a funny story in which the author took ordinary logs and laid out such birds.


These friends are somewhat like snowmen.

Nature gives us a huge amount of materials for interesting crafts. Having fun in the forest, in the park or on the banks of the river, you can collect countless treasures - twigs, shells, pebbles - and then create real masterpieces from them.

A variety of textures, colors, shapes of objects give many reasons for inspiration. In your hands, these little things can turn into a fairy tale character, a cute trinket or an original home decoration.

You only need additional tools, a little time and a boundless flight of fancy. And our lessons will help you gain skills in making unique crafts and recharge with new ideas.

We will need:

  • over 60 pine cones
  • two pieces of thin and thick wire, preferably brown
  • thick cardboard, hot glue

Step one. We make a circle from 11 or 12 cones, connecting them with a thin wire. First we fix the wire on the first bump, as shown in the photo.

Step two. We attach the remaining cones, wrapping around each subsequent wire and forming a ring equal to the size of the bottom of the basket. In this case, the bases of the cones form the outer edge of the ring.

Step three. We make a second circle of cones, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than that of the first. It will take from 8 to 10 cones. Our basket consists of two rings of cones. To make it deeper, you can make a third ring.

Step four. We glue the finished rings together. For the handle, we make a semicircle of cones, fastening them with wire in the same way as the rings. So that the handle does not lose its shape, we attach it to a thick wire frame.

Next, we make the bottom of the basket out of cardboard by gluing it to the bottom ring of cones. Such a basket will decorate any interior. You can put dry twigs or flowers made from feathers or paper into it, which will give our creation even more originality.

Bunches of grapes from acorns - master class

We will need:

  • dried acorns
  • awl, wire, corrugated paper
  • brushes, acrylic paints and varnish

Step one. Using an awl, we make holes in the acorns on both sides with gentle twisting movements. We pass the wire through the holes in the first stomach, then bend its tip in the form of a hook, which we stretch through the lower hole. At the same time, the hook remains inside the acorn and firmly holds the nut on the wire.

Step two. In the same way, we prepare all the other acorns for turning into grapes. Next, we glue the wires with pale green corrugated paper and paint half of the acorns with green paint, and the other part of the nuts with dark purple. After the paint dries, cover the acorns with varnish.

Step three. We collect bunches from grapes, intertwining their stems with each other in the same way as weaving wreaths of flowers. Grape leaves are made in the following way: we print the leaves on cardboard (you can take them from the Internet), stick corrugated paper in green shades on the reverse side, cut out the leaves, squeeze the veins on them and varnish the surface. After the varnish dries, we attach the leaves to the berries with the help of a wire.

Grapes from acorns are ready. They will be a wonderful decoration of the kitchen interior. In the same way, you can make an olive branch.

Feather flowers - master class




Such amazing beauty can be created with your own hands from bird feathers. To do this, we just need: feathers, insulated wire, white and green threads.

Operating procedure:

  1. Bleach feathers with hydrogen peroxide. Next, we take a few of the smallest feathers and wrap them with white thread at the base. As a result, we get a small bud, which we tie to the wire.
  2. Wrapping the thread around the wire, add larger feathers to the flower, and a few small feathers at the base of the flower.
  3. We wrap the stem with green thread and fix its tip with glue. Luxurious flower is ready. If desired, using spray paint, you can give it any color.

Bouquet of roses from maple leaves - master class




Here is a very simple tutorial on how to create a beautiful bouquet, for which you only need maple leaves and threads.

Operating procedure:

  1. We make the core of the flower. To do this, we roll a sheet folded in half into a roll, as shown in the diagram.
  2. Next, we wrap the core with another leaf folded in half so that the edge of the “petal” rises 1 cm above its upper part. We bend this protruding edge outwards. The fold is not smoothed out.
  3. In the same way, we wrap the next sheet around the resulting bud. After that, we tie the base of the flower with threads. In the same way, we make 4 more flowers and get a luxurious bouquet of roses.

Hedgehog from natural materials - master class




We will need: pine cones, a piece of foam, PVA glue, toilet paper, hot melt adhesive, white and black gouache, eyes and a mustache for a hedgehog.

Operating procedure:

  1. We cut out a hedgehog body in the form of a large drop from a piece of foam plastic. We form a muzzle for a hedgehog using papier-mâché technique from toilet paper. To do this, we impregnate the paper with glue and from this mass, as from plasticine, we form a nose, ears and eyebrows.
  2. After everything dries, we cover the body of the hedgehog with gray gouache, and paint the nose black. Next, using hot glue, we attach bumps to the back of the hedgehog, and eyes and a mustache to the muzzle. The hedgehog is ready! You can add charm to it by decorating with fruits.

Thank you for attention!

Moreover, despite the simplicity of execution, such crafts often look very impressive and fit any interior.

Crafts made from natural materials are different. If the production involves working with tools, such as saws or pruners, the child should not be allowed to do this. However, working with materials like cones, twigs, or dry leaves for a herbarium is perfect for kids.

Eco-style flower vase

  • You will need branches and a regular glass vase.
  • Cover the vase with branches. Branches can be slightly deviated from the vertical position, cross each other.

Roses from apples

  • Slice the apples as thinly as you can.
  • Gently boil them in sweet syrup (0.5 l of water per glass of sugar).
  • Roll up the slices like a bud. The caramelized sugar will cause the apple pieces to stick together.
  • Store the resulting craft in a cupcake mold. You can simply serve apples as a dessert or decorate a cake with them.
