Wealth of material from nature

For work, everything that lies under your feet is useful - and it doesn’t matter bad or good. May come in handy: leaves and flowers, acorns with cups, cones, branches. You can bring a lot of nuts from home, beans, beans, peas, fruits, vegetables and much more are suitable for crafts.

And how do you like the idea of ​​​​creating fluffies, but not from traditional cotton wool, but from poplar fluff or real feathers? Or an application of black and green tea? Or maybe you sharpened colored pencils and you have a lot of multi-colored shavings left. Excellent work is obtained from colored sand or colored salt and semolina.

Creating DIY crafts from natural materials with children is not only a very interesting, but also a useful activity. Assembling a toy or composition from parts, the child develops thinking and imagination. And the need to see something completely different in a fancy knot, an ordinary acorn or a combination of colors on an autumn leaf forms his creative abilities. Handmade souvenirs made from natural materials can serve as a good gift for a mother or a school teacher, decorate a Christmas tree or a room wall.

Creating DIY crafts from natural materials with children is not only a very interesting, but also a useful activity.

These words usually mean beautifully shaped seeds, cones or nuts, curved snags. At the end of summer and autumn, their assortment is complemented by colorful tree leaves. Sometimes compositions use mollusk shells, berries, feathers, pebbles or saw cuts of tree branches.

This list can be supplemented with moss, which can be surprisingly beautiful, depending on the species. Tree tinder mushrooms can also serve as excellent material. Do not ignore the shell of chicken or quail eggs.

If you grow helichrysum, immortelle, steelwort or other types of garden dried flowers on your own plot, you can learn how to create not only winter bouquets. You can include a floral motif in any composition made of natural material: autumn or spring cannot do without flowers. Ornamental plants can also be harvested during trips out of town: tough purple and blue mordovnik bushes, white, pink or red yarrow inflorescences, golden tansy buttons or spikelets of wild cereals.

Dried flowers do not require complex preparation. It is enough to dry them in a suspended form so that the inflorescences and stems retain their original shape. To do this, the plants need to be tied in bunches and hung down with flower baskets. Do not dry herbs in the sun - this will lead to the disappearance of the bright color of the flowers.

When creating crafts from natural material, only parts of the raw materials can be used (maple lionfish without seeds, linden bracts, water lily boxes cut across, tinder plates). This allows you to include interesting textures and unusual details in the range of materials. For example, you can make brown suede from the core of a real tinder fungus by simply cutting the mushroom into thin slices. Unusually looks and saw down the fruits of a gray walnut or boxes of capsules and water lilies.

The seeds and pods of Euonymus have a rich red and orange color and can be used for flower arrangements. Brilliant black grains of forest peonies (marin root) will successfully serve as an eye for toys. Some tree mushrooms (tinder fungus multi-colored and bordered) form hard growths on the branches of trees, similar to roses. The richness of natural material makes it possible to create almost any image or composition.

Applications and panels from the gifts of nature

Plane crafts in the form of panels are available for making even to young children. You can make them according to the principle of a regular paper application: sticking on a cardboard base the details of a pattern of leaves, dried flowers, etc. You can create a decor in the form of a panel for a variety of purposes: for a greeting card, as a craft on the theme "Autumn" for a kindergarten or a regular one. picture.

The design of natural material looks very impressive for an ordinary picture. Their motifs can complement each other (a photo of the sea and a frame of shells and corals, an autumn landscape and a frame of leaves and berries, etc.). By incorporating natural decor into the composition of the image itself in the form of some of its details, you can create an imperceptible transition from the external decoration to the content of the plot. Creating such a picture from natural materials is not at all difficult:

1. Take a photo or reproduction in the desired format. Stick on a cardboard base. The size of the cardboard sheet should be slightly larger than the picture.
2. Choose material that matches the theme of the image. Arrange the elements of the frame in random order along the edge of the base, choosing the option of a symmetrical or asymmetrical pattern.
3. Make an imperceptible transition from the frame deep into the picture, sticking natural decor on the image: on the stone drawing - a piece of pebbles or a shell of a suitable shape, on the contours of a leaf or flower - a material corresponding in shape. As the picture deepens into perspective, decorative inclusions should be made less frequently, and then only the drawing itself should be left.

A panel made of natural materials designed in this way becomes voluminous and loses its two-dimensionality. A smooth transition from the frame to the plot of the depicted creates the effect of a living picture. For the background, you can use your own drawing on a specific topic.

The panel can be without a background image. Usually, thick cardboard covered with textured fabric or pasted over with colored paper is taken as the basis. According to a preliminary sketch, the artist creates landscapes and still lifes from dried leaves, seeds and twigs, complementing the picture with dried flowers. Decorate with berries, acorns or other materials.

How to make flowers?

Simple flowers (daisies, chrysanthemums) are best collected from petal-like maple or ash lionfish. As a basis, you can take small larch cones, gluing the petals between the scales. Creating fantasy flowers is possible using curved linden bracts: they look like orchid or rose petals. You can connect them with glue or plasticine of the desired shade. Dry seeds are easy to color in different colors.

To make flowers from natural material, maple leaves are also useful. Having folded one of them in half, you need to roll it into a roll. Press the petiole of the other with your fingers to the base of the roll, bend the leaf blade so that it is just above the edge of the core, and bend the double layer outward. Circle the edges of the sheet around the roll, pressing at its base. In the same way, make a few more petals. Wrap the base of the finished flower with thread. Multi-colored roses can be used in any composition or panel made of natural material.

DIY decorative houses

Recently, Chinese miniatures in the form of fairy-tale houses have gained popularity. New Year's and autumn compositions from natural materials with the inclusion of Baba Yaga's hut or a good goblin can be easily made with your own hands, involving children in the creation of fairy tales. Such souvenirs can be made as decor inside a glass ball with a segment removed. Depending on the size, a decorative clearing can serve as both a Christmas tree toy and an independent decoration of the room. Bas-reliefs made of natural material can be used as wall panels.

A house made of natural material can be quite unusual. The walls are easiest to assemble from even sticks, folding them in the form of a log house, but you can dream up and roll a piece of birch bark or other bark into a cylinder. The roof will be tinder fungi of various types, sheaves of straw, moss, flat shells.

Exotic houses will turn out from a decorative pumpkin. In some of its varieties, the fruits are shaped like a mushroom with a different color of the stem and cap. Such a pumpkin can also be used as a base for the walls and roof of a forest hut. To do this, you need to supplement the natural outlines with a glued or painted door, a pipe made of a stick or a reed stalk, a porch. But even ordinary round or pear-shaped pumpkins are suitable for making a hut. The roof can be made separately from a piece of bark, mushroom or other material.

Having installed the house inside the ball on a moss pillow or stone base, complement the landscape with trees made of branches, dried flowers, pebbles, etc. Fantastic animals that can live in such a landscape are created from acorns, seeds and cones.

Beautiful small houses can be installed on the lid of an unusually shaped jar. After the composition is completed, put the glass container on top and screw on the lid. A small souvenir can be placed on a desk or under the Christmas tree.

Anything can be used as a basis for an open composition with a house made of natural material: pieces of thick bark, a small stump or saw cut, and even a large tinder fungus. It usually has the shape of a slide, so it is successfully used as an imitation of a mountain slope.

Funny crafts from natural raw materials

Fabulous animals and birds can live in any home. To invite them to visit you, you will need a variety of materials: cones and mushrooms, feathers and shells, acorns and nuts. Creating a toy from natural materials is a completely creative process, where only the most general ideas can be given.

Fabulous animals and birds can live in any home

For example, pine and spruce cones successfully imitate the prickly body of a hedgehog, and lush cock or owl feathers, and the scales of a goldfish. You can give a toy made of natural materials a resemblance to a particular character with the help of additional details:

• owl or fish eyes can be made from acorn caps by gluing shiny black peony seeds or allspice peas inside;
• fins, wings, feathers are obtained from maple or ash lionfish, dried petals of large flowers;
• a rounded head can be made from a chestnut or walnut, an elongated one from an acorn or a hazelnut;
• beaks of various shapes and sizes are obtained from sunflower seeds, pistachio shells, safflower seeds;
• shells of turtles, beetles, crabs can be made from walnut shell halves, shells, tinder fungi.

Combining different details, it is easy to create any original craft made from natural materials to decorate a Christmas tree or populate a fabulous meadow with a house.

Children's crafts from natural materials: 25 ideas and step-by-step workshops for preschool and primary school children.

Children's crafts from natural materials

In this article, you will find more than 25 ideas for making crafts with children from natural materials (leaves, branches, seeds, chestnuts, acorns, vegetables, and others) using different techniques. All master classes from this article have been prepared for you by readers of the Native Path, participants in the competition.

Craft 1: Maple Leaf Roses

This craft was sent to our competition by Anna Baranova and her daughter Lera and teacher Lera from kindergarten MBDOU No. 3 "Ryabinka" (junior group) in the city of Inza, Ulyanovsk Region. And also Khabibullina Liliya Rustyamovna (MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of the combined type" of the Moscow district of Kazan) and Davletberdina Malik (5 years old).

Material for manufacturing:
- maple leaves of bright colors (orange, yellow, red),
- branches with viburnum berries,
- harsh threads to form a bouquet of roses,
- golden hairspray to strengthen and strengthen the bouquet (optional),
- a few strong branches to strengthen the bouquet of roses.

How to make a bouquet of roses from maple leaves:

Preparation for making crafts: We collect suitable leaves of various colors. We need large enough, not too dry and whole leaves. Too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are not suitable for making a bouquet. For the manufacture of one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.

Step 1. Take one maple leaf, hold it with the petiole towards you and fold it in half with the right side out. Then we twist it into a tight roll - a tube. This will be the "core of the rose", that is, the middle of the flower.

Step 2. Now, around this "core" of the flower, we begin to lay the "petals". We take another maple leaf, hold it also - with the petiole towards us - and put the prepared core-tube on it closer to the petiole in the middle of the leaf. The front side of the leaf should be inside the future flower. The sheet is very carefully bent outward in half. The edge of the inflection of the "petal" is located above the "core" by a centimeter and a half. Smooth out the fold of the sheet.

And now we bend this protruding edge of the sheet outward again, but the fold is no longer smoothed out. We try not to compress the fold and keep it elastic.

Step 3. We take the next maple leaf and make the second petal on the other side of our middle - the tubes. Continue on until you get a rose flower. Each time you need to take a maple leaf a little larger than the previous one.

Step 4. Having decorated the flower, wrap the base tightly with threads. A strong thin twig can be tightly tied to the base to give the flower strength.

Step 5. Having collected a bouquet of several roses and decorated it with viburnum sprigs, you must again tightly wrap all the branches with threads, collecting them in a bouquet.

How many flowers will be in your bouquet - you decide. We evenly arrange the prepared leaves in a circle, placing them under the buds in the hand. Then we fix the now ready-made bouquet at its base with the same threads.

Here is our autumn bouquet of maple leaf roses and ready!

Step 6. To give strength, beauty and shine, you can sprinkle the finished roses with golden hairspray. But this is optional.

Another version of the design of such a bouquet of maple leaves was made by the family of Kasanova Margarita (5 years old), Kazan, MADOU "Kindergarten No. 174 of a combined type" of the Moscow region of Kazan. Teacher – Kalmykova Olga Dmitrievna

Craft 2: corn

This craft was sent to our competition "Autumn Workshop" by the educator Rim Elena Anatolyevna (GBOU of the city of Moscow "School No. 166" Structural unit No. 7). And Yulia Terekhina (5 years old), a pupil of Elena Anatolyevna, completed the cornbread.

How to make the craft "Corn:

Step 1. Prepare corn cobs (large, medium and small), cardboard base for crafts, hot glue, fern leaves, fir cones, acorns, leaves, nuts, cereals (barley), decorations for corn (bows, hats, beads, eyes etc.)

Step 2. Form characters from corn on the cob.

Step 3. Arrange Cornflowers on a cardboard base and decorate the surface with waste material. The craft is ready! Good luck!

Craft 3: autumn forest.

This craft was sent to our competition by Kazakova Anna Yurievna. And Anna's four-year-old son Maxim performed it in drawing classes under the guidance of a teacher Alexandra Vladimirovna (club "Happy Childhood", drawing circle for children "Kalyaka-Malyaka", Yoshkar-Ola).

You will need:
- landscape sheet of format A 4,
- autumn leaves,
- watercolor paints,
tassel.

Step by step description:

Step 1. We bring autumn leaves from a walk.

Step 2. Color the white space of the album sheet as a background. Next, on a sheet of paper, draw vertical lines - the trunks of autumn trees.

Craft 4: Old Man Lesovichok

This craft was sent by the teacher Fedorova Tatyana Vladimirovna from the city of Birsk (Bashkortostan), MADOU Kindergarten No. 8 "Alyonushka". It was made by a child from the group of Tatyana Vladimirovna (senior group) with the help of a teacher.

DIY material: larch needles and cones, plasticine. All parts of the woodsman made of natural materials are fastened together with plasticine.

Craft 5: Application "Hedgehog"

This hedgehog was made and sent to our autumn competition of children's art by Sofia (5 years old) and her mother Anna Shikhareva.

Material for making crafts- pine needles, felt, pine cone, cardboard and PVA glue.

If you prefer not an application, but a voluminous hedgehog, then it can be easily made with children from a piece of plasticine, dried chestnut skin and cut cotton swabs. But this is really a prickly hedgehog, so be careful. Such a hedgehog was made by Yulia Romanovna Ruzaeva and her daughter (2 years 8 months) from St. Petersburg. And you will find another craft by Yulia and her daughter “Giraffe from chestnuts and acorns” in the master class in the article

Craft 6. Hedgehog from piaflora and natural materials

And here is another hedgehog in a different manufacturing technology. It was made and sent to us by Mironets Anna Vladimirovna (mother) and her son Maxim (4 years 9 months) from the Komi Republic, Syktyvkar.

We need to make crafts:- piaflor, - dried leaves of mountain ash, gooseberry, shadberry, - dried flowers, - hairspray.

Description of the craft:

Step 1. Take half of the piaflora brick and cut out the body of a hedgehog from it (it will resemble a droplet in shape). Sharp corners must be smoothed out with your hands. Piaflor does not need to be soaked.

Step 2. Divide the dried rowan leaves into separate leaf plates, which are then inserted into the piaflor (in the body of the hedgehog).

Step 3 Hedgehog ears can be made from dried gooseberry leaves. And we will make paws from dried leaves of irgi.

Step 4 Fold the leaf cuttings several times. We make eyes and a nose out of them.

Step 6. Fix our craft with hairspray. Here's a hedgehog you get.

Craft 7. Caterpillar and chestnut hedgehog

This craft was made and sent to us at our "Autumn workshop for children's crafts" by children of 4 years old together with their teacher Tegaeva Olga Nikolaevna (Moscow region, Sergiev Posad district, Shemetovo village, Novy microdistrict, MGBOU d / s No. 75 "Fairy Tale")

To make crafts you will need:

chestnuts,
- moss,
- branch cut
- acorn hat
- tree leaf,
- plasticine.

How to make a caterpillar and a hedgehog from chestnuts:

- We dry the chestnuts to make it easier to separate the prickly peel from the nut.

- While the chestnut nuts are not completely dry, we pierce them with an awl on both sides and insert matches without heads into the resulting holes (glue the matches on glue for reliability).

- We form a caterpillar. To do this, we select the nuts by size, starting from the largest to the smallest.

- We glue an acorn hat on the head of the caterpillar.

- We make caterpillar eyes from plasticine and attach them.

- Glue the caterpillar on the stump.

- Now we make a hedgehog from plasticine, and we make its prickly back from chestnut peel.

- On the spines of the hedgehog we put a maple leaf ironed through sheets of white paper.

- Lay out the moss.

Here is such a hedgehog - a caterpillar friend - you will succeed.

Craft 8. A basket of cones

This craft was made by Polina Durnova (9 years old, Samara, school 118, 4B class), Maxim Durnov (2 years old) with her mother Durnova Svetlana from Samara, Krasnaya Glinka village. At first, Svetlana and her children tried to make a basket of cones according to the description on the Internet using a glue gun, but ... a day later the resulting basket lost its shape and “went” in different directions. Therefore, Svetlana came up with her own technology for making a basket of cones.

How to make a basket of cones:

Step 1. Go to the forest, collect a lot of cones.

Helpful Hints:

- If you want to make a strong basket that will serve you for a long time, then you need to take into account such a possible fact: closed cones open in a warm room. And this is undesirable if by this time you have already woven a basket. Therefore, it is recommended to cover the cones with a liquid solution of wood glue.

- The most durable connection of the cones in the basket is the connection with brown wire (in the color of the cones, so that it is less noticeable). To do this, we wrap the first cone with wire, then we continue to wind the cones around the wire in a circle, wrapping each of them. We do this until we get a circle of the desired size. So we make 2 - 3 rings. And then we connect them into a frame. Connect the cones to the basket using a glue gun. But further in the next steps you need to fix this design.

Step 2 Using a thin wire, fasten three rings, then connect them into a single basket design and screw the handle on top. Cones for the handle are also wrapped with thin wire and then wired to the thick base of the handle or thick wire.

Step 3. Put a cardboard circle at the bottom of the resulting structure. Put rowan branches with berries and spruce cones in a basket. It will turn out a beautiful autumn composition.

Craft 9: Autumn Ship

Autumn is the time of multi-colored ships made of leaves, which set off on a voyage known only to them through the endless airspace. The main thing is that the wind is favorable. It's time to make your autumn ship.

This ship was made and sent to our autumn workshop of children's crafts Matveeva Svetlana Nikolaevna (Liski, Voronezh region) together with her son (the child's age is 3 years 8 months).

To make crafts - a ship from natural materials, you will need:

- plastic food tray

- a few leaves that can be found on the street (it is better that at least three leaves of them are large - we use them for a sail),

- a stick for a sail with a length of 20 to 30 centimeters,

- a few thin sticks for making pens,

- plasticine of different colors,

- colored paper

- glue stick,

- a few cones ate,

- parachute seeds of maple or ash-shaped maple (optional, optional)

How to make a craft - a boat from natural materials:

Step 1. Making the torso and head of the sailors. The body of the sailors will be cones. From pieces of plasticine we sculpt eyes, a mouth and noses, which we attach them to the cones so that we get the faces of the sailors.

Step 2. We make peakless caps for sailors - cones.

For this:

- Using caps of various diameters, we draw circles on colored paper - the future caps of our sailors (choose the diameter of the circle of a suitable size).

- Cut out circles.

- From paper of a different color, we cut out several thin strips based on one circle, two strips each (the length is arbitrary, but it should be borne in mind that these will be peakless ribbons, so do not overdo it with the length).

- Glue two stripes to each peakless mug close to each other.

- In the center of each capless circle, glue a piece of plasticine the size of one or two beans.

- We fasten these caps to the tops of our cones - sailors have caps.

Step 3. We make the arms and legs of the sailors.

- Determine where your sailors will have their hands and glue a couple of pieces of plasticine there, to which you attach small thin sticks - these will be the sailors' hands.

- The legs are made of plasticine. The shape of the legs should resemble flippers so that the bump stands and does not fall in our ship. To make legs, we sculpt “sausages” from pieces of plasticine the size of a walnut - small but thick, and then we flatten them and attach them to the bottom of our cones.

The sailors are ready.

Step 4. Making the sails. With a large stick we make holes in several large leaves, and stretch the latter through this stick to make several sails on one mast. The joints of the leaves with each other can be glued a little with plasticine, then the leaves will not slide down on top of each other and fall down.

At the top of the mast we placed a basket of ash maple helicopters. To do this, we simply stuck around a piece of plasticine with these helicopters, dividing them into single seed plates, and then this piece of plasticine was glued to the top of the mast. However, such a “basket” is not necessary if you have seeds - there are no “helicopters”.

Step 5. Attach the mast to the base of the ship.

To attach the mast to the ship from a plastic tray, we glue a piece of plasticine a little smaller than a walnut to the tray approximately in its middle (do not spare the plasticine, we need the mast to hold tight). We insert our mast into it. For better mast attachment, you can stretch the plasticine a little along the trunk of our mast.

In the tray-ship, place our sailors in empty places, slightly pressing their flippers-legs to the bottom so that they stick and hold firmly on the deck. Along the sides of the ship, you can glue leaves of different trees and / or flowers on pieces of plasticine, but this is not necessary - see for yourself how you like it best. It is also optional to make a dragon head on the bow of your ship.

The nose of the ship can be anything, but we made a plasticine dinosaur head and attached it to the nose of our ship.

The autumn ship is ready and can go to any fairy tale that you want to compose with your child!

Craft 10. Picture for the fairy tale by V. Suteev "Under the mushroom" from natural materials

This craft for staging Suteev’s fairy tale “Under the Mushroom” was made together with the teacher by four-year-old children: Mochalova Katerina, Kuchieva Adel, Krupennikov Kolya, Sbudyshev Vlad, Akhtemenchuk Anatoly and Mukhantseva Yana. Teacher - Denisova Svetlana Alexandrovna. Children go to kindergarten MADOU d / s No. 2 "Karamelka" ShchMR MO in the city of Shchelkovo, Moscow Region.

Preparatory stage: watching the cartoon "Fungus-Teremok", reading the fairy tale by V. Suteev “Under the mushroom”.

Materials for making crafts based on a fairy tale from natural materials:

- pine cones, spruce

- plasticine

- wire

- mushroom toy

- basis for crafts

- maple, rowan leaves

- corrugated paper

- scissors

- PVA glue

- pine branch

- matches

- Cork

Step-by-step instructions for making crafts:

Step 1. We prepare the base.

We paste over the A4 size box with green corrugated paper. On this paper we glue maple leaves, ironed in advance through sheets of white paper.

Step 2 We make trees - scenery.

We take a piece of plasticine, roll up the ball and crush it until we get a round cake. On this cake with a branch up, we insert a mountain ash leaf, ironed in advance through a sheet of paper. You can also insert into the "cake" and a pine branch. Such trees adorn our base.

Step 3. We attach a large mushroom.

In the middle of the base we attach the finished mushroom - either on plasticine or on glue.

Step 4. D we eat the main characters of the fairy tale (ant, butterfly, sparrow, hare, fox).

All heroes are made of cones and plasticine.

How to mold fairy-tale characters from cones and plasticine:

Ant:

We take a fir cone. The narrow tip of the cone is pulled out with brown plasticine. Eyes made of black plasticine are attached to the "head" of the ant. Paws can be made of wire, attaching them evenly throughout the cone with plasticine. We make the antennae of the ant from 2 matches without heads.

Sparrow:

the toy is created from a pine cone, eyes - from two small corks, paws - from three matches (attached to plasticine). The beak and tail are made using plasticine: attach the plasticine to the cone and pull it into the desired shape.

Butterfly:

A butterfly can be created from a fir cone by attaching two multi-colored circles of corrugated paper to it using wire. To do this, a hole is pierced in the paper (from the edge of the circle closest to the bump), a wire is threaded into the resulting hole and the wing is attached to the component of the bump. The same action must be done from the other end. The head of a butterfly can be made of plasticine by attaching it to the toy's body from the narrow side of the cone.

Hare: the toy consists of a fir cone and blue plasticine. Paws, ears and head are molded from plasticine. We also make eyes from platinum of a different color.

Fox: Fox is easy to make. We need a fir cone and orange plasticine. The muzzle of the fox is molded from an orange plasticine sausage, stretched out in the shape of a fox's nose. A black nose is attached to the muzzle.

Step 5 We make a composition according to a fairy tale.

Let's put the heroes under the mushroom. Attach the butterfly in the corner to the base of the composition.

We wish you creative fantasies and imagination, and then you will get your own fairy tale!

Craft 11. Caterpillar from apples

This craft was made by Danila Ankushev together with his parents from the Strekhninsky kindergarten (the older group "Friendly Family"). And the teacher Elena Yaroslavtseva sent the craft to us for the autumn workshop.

How to make a caterpillar: the body of the caterpillar is made up of apples. We make legs from earplugs (sold in a pharmacy). To fasten the parts, wooden toothpicks are used. Decorates the craft with a shell from a grape snail.

Another option for making caterpillars from apples was sent to us from the city of Kungur in the Perm Territory (MADOU "Kindergarten No. 6"). This caterpillar was made by Kulyashova Arina, 6 years old. Teachers: Zueva Tatyana Vladimirovna, Karaguzheva Rufina Viktorovna.

How else can you make a caterpillar out of apples: option 2.

This caterpillar is made from apples. Apples are fastened together with toothpicks. The legs are carved from carrots. They also hold on to toothpicks and walk on autumn leaves glued to the landscape sheet. The fashionista dressed up in chokeberry beads. The berries are collected on a string. The eyes are made of red rowan and are also held on by toothpicks. The caterpillar put on a beautiful flower instead of a hat, hooked it on itself with a toothpick and went to the fair.

Here is such a cheerful caterpillar made from natural materials by Arina.

Craft 12. A cheerful family of acorns

This and the following three crafts made from natural materials were made with children by Alexandra Albertovna Naumkina together with her son Vanya (4 years old) and daughter Masha (1 year 3 months), Barnaul, Altai Territory. Here is what Alexandra writes:

You will need to make crafts:

- a piece of a branch or tree bark,

- acorns

- black marker

- glue gun or Moment glue.

How to make a fun family from natural materials:

Step 1. Draw faces.

She showed her son how to draw a face on the stomach. Gave him permanent marker and acorns and left him. Here are such bizarre faces turned out.

Step 2. We glue the hats to our little men.

We glued the hats on Moment glue.

Step 3. We attach the family.

But with gluing to the bark, I had to tinker. I smeared the bark with Moment glue. Substitute something rectangular at the back to hold the craft while gluing, place the acorns on the bark and leave them to stick.

Craft 13. Interior craft "Autumn branch"

We got a beautiful interior craft. My son made it himself. The main thing is that it is done very simply.

Step 1. We found more interesting branches in the forest and brought them home.

Step 2 Dried the leaves in the books between the pages.

Step 4. Then we decided to complete our composition and make owls out of plasticine and place them on autumn branches.

To do this, we took cones, maple seeds ("helicopters") for wings and plasticine.

I made the first owl, the second was made by my son.

Attached them to the branches on plasticine, they hold well.

Such a beautiful composition now decorates our house! And, most importantly, this craft is very easy to make.

Another option for making an autumn branch was sent to us by Natalya Oshueva (Balashikha) and her son Vanya Oshuev (3 years 8 months).

Autumn branch on the wall: the second version of the mobile

Natalia writes: “I first laminated the leaves. With my son, we cut them out, made holes and threaded the ropes. The branch was found on the street. They hung leaves on it. The result was a branch with fallen leaves.

Craft 14: Hedgehogs from cones and salt dough

Alexandra Naumkina shared with us her experience of making hedgehogs with her son.

Step 1. We kneaded the salty dough together with our son. He loves baking so much that he kneads all the dough himself, and I only tell him what to take and in what proportion.

Salt dough recipe (proportions): wheat flour - 2 cups, fine salt - 1 cup, water - 3/4 cups. The finished dough should not crumble and stick to your hands.

Step 2. Blinded two hedgehogs together: mother and baby. Here I have already given the final shape. We stuck the cones and put the oven in the oven.

Step 3. The next day (after the hedgehogs have cooled down), we painted them with gouache paint. But if you need hedgehogs for a more durable period, then it is better to use acrylic paints. They molded the nose from plasticine and glued the eyes.

We just studied with my son, so the son was so carried away by modeling mushrooms from plasticine that he stuck many different mushrooms for hedgehogs himself.

Craft 15: Autumn Leaf Mobile

for the development of speech breathing in children

This handicraft from natural materials was also made by Naumkina Alexandra Albertovna for her children - Vanya (4 years old) and Masha (1 year 3 months). This family lives in the city of Barnaul, Altai Territory.

Alexandra writes:

“Our craft was born, one might say, spontaneously.

Step 1. As a basis for the mobile, I cut out the rim of a cardboard disposable plate.

Step 2. I tied a string of yellow yarn on the resulting rim at about the same distance. From the same yarn I made a pendant for which our craft will hold.

Craft 16. Application from seeds "Hedgehog"

The crown is very easy to make.

Step 1. A blank was made from paper - a “hoop” according to the size of the child’s head, about 5 cm wide.

Step 2. We glued double-sided tape on top, and then my daughter glued leaves on it.

autumn trees

Natalia writes: “To quickly make autumn trees, we used toilet paper rolls and corrugated paper cut into strips. The children pushed the paper inside the roll as they could. In the end, it turned out well for us, bright and autumnal.

You can also place autumn branches and autumn leaves collected on a walk in a roll.

Pumpkins from cones

In this craft, we used fluffy wire. They took a bump, wrapped it with orange fluffy wire. Further, leaves of green fluffy wire were attached to it. To make green spring leaves, we first wound the wire around a pencil, then removed it from the pencil and got green spirals.

Hedgehog

For crafting a hedgehog, we used an eaten sunflower.

Such details will make it possible to make even a beautiful, but initially “empty” living space more homey, warm and comfortable. Beautiful crafts made from natural materials are especially indispensable for an eco-style interior, but there is a place for hand-made jewelry in any other design idea. Also, such interesting things will be very useful to parents whose children need to show off family needlework in kindergarten or school. So, be patient and let's get started!

Interesting decorative element made of coffee beans

Most often, crafts are made from natural material in summer and autumn, since it is at this time that you can find many useful little things almost under your feet. However, some materials are available at any time of the year, so neither a cold winter nor an early spring should be an obstacle to creativity.

DIY crafts from wood (video and photo ideas)

Wooden crafts will always find a worthy place in the interior, and in form they can be completely different, since wood is used in various variations:

• Twigs and twigs - the most accessible tool for creating crafts. From them, you can make animal figures, stars, hearts, and in general any form, which is very exciting for children. With dry twigs and sticks, you can decorate a frame for a photo or a mirror, as well as decorate a panel, filling a certain silhouette with them. An interesting eco-style flower pot is obtained from sticks connected to each other.

Natural composition will refresh the interior

• Tree cuts and "stumps" also provide a wide scope for creativity. From them you can make larger items, such as watches, jewelry boxes or pencil holders. Such work requires male hands and tool skills, but women can also use saw cuts to create decorative jewelry. Saw cuts of small branches can be glued together, creating various crafts. Cute pendants are obtained by tying small saw cuts on ropes to a large base around the perimeter. In the same way, it is worth decorating an old floor lamp or chandelier.

• Bark and birch bark - more complex materials in terms of creating masterpieces. Various baskets and caskets made of birch bark are always works of art, but learning how to make them is very difficult. On the bark of trees, you can create miniature paintings, complementing the “drawing” of the bark with suitable details.

Crafts from natural materials: pebbles and pebbles

Stones of different colors and shapes make excellent crafts. You can make a comfortable rug, a hot stand, a decorative panel or an original figurine.

Advice! The most popular among stones is pebbles, because they have flat areas, due to which they are very easily attached to the base with glue.



Decorative flower pots



Mosaic in oriental style on stones

Even ordinary painted pebbles look very bright and cheerful, and if you create a composition out of them, you get a unique piece of furniture. Some designers use pebbles to decorate vertical or horizontal surfaces in an apartment, such as parts of walls, fireplaces, and window sills.

Themes of crafts from natural material for the summer: fruits and seeds

From labor lessons in elementary school, everyone remembers children's crafts made from natural materials, for which cones, acorns, nut shells, seeds, coffee beans, etc. were used. Together with children, you can create a worthy decorative accessory for the home from these well-known materials. Most often, miniature figures or three-dimensional paintings are made from fruits and seeds. If you attach various fruits to a “bouquet” of dry twigs, you can adequately replace the New Year tree.

Advice! Any collected natural material (pebbles, cones or wooden sticks) should be dried before creating home-made masterpieces. If the parts are wet, the life of the craft will be greatly reduced.

DIY autumn crafts: leaves and flowers

Fallen leaves of various colors and dried flowers make it possible to create the brightest bouquets, arrangements and decorative wreaths. Such autumn crafts made from natural materials do not go well with ordinary vases, but with original containers: watermelon peel, coconut shell or pumpkin shell. To decorate the festive table, you can only add such autumn compositions with candles, ripe vegetables and fruits. Leaves and moss are used to create applications, and sometimes such beauty is obtained that it is not a sin to replace a painting by a modern artist with it.

Crafts on a marine theme: shells are used

Shells are another unique material for creating DIY crafts. Separate specimens in themselves are of particular interest in terms of decorativeness, and the products made from them will not leave anyone indifferent. If you are lucky enough to collect a collection of seashells on the sea, do not leave them in a bag, but decorate a picture or pendant in a marine style from them.

DIY Crafts: Feathers

Feathers are commonly used as components in other crafts: they decorate tails, hairstyles or tree trunks. But they can also be used separately if tied into small “bouquets” and placed in transparent containers. Such a "bird" decor will bring fresh emotions to the interior.

Crafts from natural material with your own hands: workshops on making

Making crafts from natural material is quite simple, since they begin to teach this at school. If you try, you can create a real work of art. Consider the details of the manufacture of some beautiful little things.

colorful panel

An interesting panel can be made from various natural materials. Dry leaves, and straw, and shells of nuts, and dried flowers are suitable for him. The plot itself can be absolutely anything. The panel is created as follows:

• First, they draw up frames, which can be snags of original forms or several branches connected to each other. The panel can be round, in which case a vine can act as a frame.
• The basis for the panel is burlap or plain paper. In some cases, you can make a net of straw, deliberately leaving empty spaces in the picture.
• From leaves, flowers and other available natural materials, you can create a composition, and in the case of a straw base, an interesting solution would be to weave elements into an already created lattice.
• The last stage is the creation of fasteners (from rope or wire), with which the panel can be hung on the wall.



Beach style in creating a wall panel

egg shell flower pots

Miniature flowerpots are obtained from eggshells, however, this work requires great care due to the fragility of the material:

• First you need to carefully break the raw egg and pour the entire contents into a bowl. The edges can be hollowed out evenly, or they can be left splintered.
• Next, we solve the problem of stability of the future vase. For these purposes, either an egg stand or packaging from them is suitable. If you do not plan to use other devices, you can use plasticine, which is rolled into a flagellum, which is tied around the bottom of the future vase.
• After registration of the container, you can populate it with residents. It can also act as a vase where small wild flowers will stand in the water, and a pot where you can plant greens, moss or small succulents.

Advice! In addition to flower pots, shells make excellent candlesticks. Any shell crafts will be appropriate during the Easter holiday.

Stump Candlestick

To make a candlestick from a small hemp or saw cut, you need to perform a number of simple steps:

• Any wooden parts should be pre-treated with impregnation to rid them of the appearance of rot and pests.
• Further, in the center of the stump or anywhere in the core (depending on the idea), it is necessary to drill a fairly wide and shallow hole into which a standard flat candle will fit. If there is no skill in working with a drill, you can use an ordinary knife, but the work will take longer.
• After that, it is necessary to process the edges and cutout of the product with sandpaper.
• For decoration, you can paint the product or leave it in its natural form, but varnish the sections. The edges of the product can be tied with burlap or wrapped with jute rope.

Also interesting is the candlestick for several candles, made in a similar way on a long snag. If you consider mounting it to the wall or a stable stand, you can often delight yourself with romantic evenings.



A special drill attachment will help you easily prepare holes for candles

If you want to create something completely unique that no one has ever done before, let your imagination run wild. Sometimes the most familiar object can appear in such an unusual way that one wonders how it could even come to someone's head.
