How can you captivate your baby in the fall? Of course, crafts made from natural materials! For example, crafts using autumn leaves, maple leaves and other trees.

And crafts from cones and leaves will captivate your little one with creativity! From appliqués to forest glades, this is what you can do using completely accessible natural materials.

Nature is inexhaustiblely rich in inventions and fantasies. how many different forms and colors can be seen in the bosom of nature, you just have to look closely. The child's gaze, unclouded by everyday problems, notices all the wonders and beauties bestowed on us by nature faster than we are adults.

The child has a penchant for needlework, namely, creating crafts. Not so much an inclination as the need to develop your fingers.

Because it is through the training of small muscles of the fingers that the motor skills of the hands, the fine motor skills of the fingers, and, consequently, memory, imaginative perception of life and creative inclinations develop. And also, the necessary skills of working with paper, glue, scissors, paints, plasticine, etc. are acquired.

When the kid runs out into the park in the city or in the village on the lawn, a pantry opens up in front of him. natural material to create a future masterpiece. Twigs, leaves, autumn vegetables, fruits, cones, acorns, dry grass are the most affordable materials for children's creativity and development.

Autumn comes, and with it in kindergartens, elementary grades of schools, children are offered to do some crafts using cones and beautiful autumn leaves, bark, twigs, acorns, fruits and twigs.

You can't imagine a better time than summer and autumn. And not so much because of the hot sun, warm rivers and endless days. And because at this time, nature prepares for us those materials that we may need for the development and creation of a simple design idea by kids and educators.

The toddler pulls a branch or a bunch of leaves home and does not yet know what can come of it.

It is in the power of parents and educators in kindergartens, as well as teachers in elementary school, to try to help the kid to come up with and create fascinating crafts from cones, acorns, leaves, twigs, dry grass and plasticine.

It is joint creation, joint creativity that helps kids to develop!

In the upbringing of the future person, these crafts from fir cones and autumn leaves, from acorns and leaves, i.e. natural natural material. It sounds trite, but this feeling of beauty develops in children and adults through creativity.

The selection of compositions by color and shape, figurines of birds, animals from acorns, awaken associations with wildlife in the child.

The kid will make some kind of fluffy, some kind of chicken, a kitten, but not from the cotton wool, but from the poplar fluff itself or some feathers. And the kid will get a magnificent autumn craft using natural materials.

How much attention and perseverance he will need, so that the leaf is to the leaf, so that each feather is in its place. A valuable quality in a person is perseverance and patience, to achieve some life goals.

Of course, each season of the year, in its own way, is beautiful in a person's life. Even the creativity of little people can be supported at any time. In winter, you can also craft something, only from artificial materials, paper, cotton wool, all sorts of rags. But according to the wealth of material that nature gives us, the creations of human hands have no analogues.

Perhaps the richest potential for creativity is contained in autumn leaves. Children love to tinker with them the most. They can collect them in a bouquet, they get something similar to flowers. And what kind of panels on the autumn theme, applications can be made using dry bright autumn leaves of trees!

Created crafts hedgehogs from fir cones or sparrows from acorns - you can't draw this on paper in winter. And the child needs it, needs attention, joint activities, creative activities. Therefore, it turns out that in the fall, a growing person has more room for creative imagination.

Engage in developing activities with children using the most natural and simple, as well as the most available materials such as cones and leaves, twigs and acorns. This does not require much free time. For example, a mother can cook in the kitchen, and a baby can make an applique from leaves nearby.

More essential crafts from cones and leaves of trees, of course, take time. But you can also involve the whole family, grandmothers, grandfathers, relatives and friends in the creation of beautiful creative crafts.

Wish you good creativity and mood!

The tradition of making autumn crafts with your own hands is rooted in ancient times. Once upon a time man did greatest discovery: Food can be grown. Survival was now almost guaranteed, and there was time to think about things of a higher order. Autumn, on the eve of winter cold and hunger, became a harbinger of a long rest and holidays after hard field work. And the forest is still warm, there are mushrooms and berries. The game has grown fat over the summer, its instinct, hearing and vigilance have dulled - it is good to hunt. In the rivers and lakes there is an autumn bite, so there will be meat and fish for the winter. In general, in winter it became satisfying, but boring, so I wanted to preserve the charm of my eyes longer ...

From what are they still making with their own hands memoirs about the joyful and sad beautiful time of quiet wilting of nature: from simple autumn bouquets, the material for which you just need to collect and put in a vase, to complex figures and compositions that require extraordinary imagination and fine work, see fig. They all have one thing in common: the ability to see hidden essence things and extend as much as possible its natural life cycle.

Some argue that autumn compositions of fresh flowers, vegetables and fruits are akin to a Buddhist-Tibetan mandala. But the monks, hiding from everyone, carefully take it out with colored sand for a year, so that then at once they themselves will sweep it away, in commemoration of the futility of all that exists. And the compositions on the theme of golden autumn, although short-lived, wither naturally and before that they manage to please many. However, let's not philosophize about both worldviews. We will see how to create more durable autumn crafts that can remind you of the sad beauty of wilting nature at least until spring. But let's not forget about the golden autumn either ...

Some innovations

A significant part of the fruits of autumn creativity are figurines of people and animals. They need eyes. Traditionally, very expressive, but, alas, short-lived eyes are obtained from the fruits of the snowberry - a common shrub in mid-latitudes, see Fig. For clear pupils, small rounded black seeds can be stuck in them, for example. mouse peas.

Eyes that can live with the figurine all its life can be made from glued-on pieces of white and colored felt, like all others additional elements, see fig. left. Its full-fledged substitute, and more accessible and convenient in work, is geofabric (geofilm). The one that is covered by greenhouses and greenhouses. You can paint it with felt-tip pens.

Parts of crafts are usually glued with PVA, Moment, etc., but recently acrylic glue has been increasingly used. Non-toxic instant cyanoacrylate, but on water based... It is safe and easy to peel off the body. From hair - with a comb moistened with water. The same goes for acrylic varnishes and paints.

Children are very fond of expressing the emerging personality in autumn creativity. It is highly desirable, even necessary, to create children's crafts without the use of piercing and cutting objects. Here also traditional way connections - matches. But they are dull, too soft and the skin of acorns, chestnuts, beans, etc. pierced with difficulty and carelessly. Now, instead of matches, it is better to use toothpicks: they are harder of wood, and their tips are sharp enough to pierce the seed shell, but not so much as to injure children's fingers.

Muzzles, paws and other small animals are most often molded from plasticine. When it comes to durable products, it is better to replace it (plastic, cold porcelain). Do-it-yourself plastic surgery at home. Raw materials are inexpensive and affordable, but the cooking process itself is quite laborious. But 300-350 g of plastic obtained at a time is enough for a whole collection of trinkets. Plastic easily accepts painting and varnishing with acrylic, processed with a knife and an awl. Well, and we will recall other autumn ornamental tricks along the way, in relation to a specific material.

Cones

Empty buds provide the most solid foundation for fall crafts. conifers... Well-made crafts from cones retain their appearance for years and can serve as a permanent decoration of the interior. The material is hard; working with it requires a small steel tool. Therefore, adults and fairly grown children should be engaged in shishkotvorchestvo.

Unknown bumps

Cones are found not only on pines, spruces and cedars. Pine-bearing plants also include those that not all botanists call conifers. E.g. types and garden shape thuja. In cultural plantings, they are common all the way to St. Petersburg. Thuja cones are small but varied, see fig. They can be used to make various complementary elements in the general spirit of pine cone compositions.

Juniper cones do not look like cones either, rather like berries, on the right in Fig. from them good and durable pupils of eyes and noses of animals are obtained. There is no need to look for a juniper, which is now rare and protected by law: its cones are a medicinal product and are sold dry in pharmacies.

Note: sometimes araucaria is grown in rooms. This is also a pine-bearing plant with small, very original cones.

One bump

Mini-crafts come out already from the 1st bump, there would be enough imagination and vigilance. By the way, in pos. 1 fig. on the back of the hedgehog - the very bumps of the araucaria, which were discussed. But - back to fantasy. The cone is most often viewed from the side of the splayed scales. And if you just look from the bottom, "at the bottom?" You see what may be there, pos. 4? Baba Yaga with a walking fly agaric instead of a goblin or Kashchei, pos. 5 - this is quite in the spirit of a dense forest from Russian fairy tales, but crocodiles do not eat cones and are not found in pine forests with spruce forests, like penguins, pos. 6 and 7.

Note: acorns organically fit into the crafts made of cones, which we will remember later.

Pineal techniques

Cones are firmly glued together with any glue on wood, therefore the simplest way to collect a craft from them - pasting with cones of a suitable base. This is how the hedgehogs so popular now are made from cones and plastic bottle, on the left in Fig. But the bumps can cling on their own, if they are thrust into each other with scales, in the center. For strength, a few drops of glue are allowed into the joints.

In the same technique of mutual coupling, baskets are made of cones. But here, for greater strength, it is desirable to reinforce the product with a flexible electrical wire in insulation, on the right in Fig. Especially if the basket is not just a decoration, but also a household item - a bowl for sweets, etc.

Sometimes the crowns of dry autumn trees - topiary - are harvested from the cones. To do this, you will have to use an awl or micro drill with a thin 0.7-1.2 mm drill. In the core of the cones from the rear (where the tail was), a blind hole is drilled or punctured with a depth of approx. 1 cm. Then glue is dripped into it and immediately pushes a hard or nylon thread with a toothpick. A toothpick is broken off, leaving a plug in the hole. As an option, but much less convenient, a thin wire with a bent end is injected directly into the glue. With the tails of a cord or wire, the cones are attached to the trunk, starting from the bottom. The upper tails, which are already difficult to tie, are carried through the crown with a crochet hook and knit at the bottom.

Pine cone flowers are also a very popular craft. There are 2 methods in use here: either the top of the cone is bite off with pliers, and the scales are broken, on the left in the figure, or the crown of the flower will be the bottom of the cone, on the right. They paint in either case acrylic paint.

By the way about hedgehogs

Among the autumn handicrafts, hedgehogs occupy a special place. They are made of needles from sunflower or acacia seeds, straws, yarn, etc., see fig. Even from pine nuts, at current prices! This work is painstaking, but a completely plausible hedgehog comes out of a whole basket of sunflower with a scraped loose core and cut edges, on the right in Fig. To prevent the seeds from falling out, its back is instilled from a PVA medical syringe or transparent acrylic varnish diluted with water twice or three times. In any case, it is better to mold the base from plastic.

There is another way to do autumn hedgehog from the 1st cone, and not only the hedgehog. This is also quite painstaking work, although not as much as in the previous one. case: the needles are stuck between the scales. So as not to fall out as it dries, drip in glue. You can also stick in twigs, leaves, etc., depending on the plan, see next. rice.

Chestnuts

Fruit horse chestnut not as durable as cones: by spring the core dries out, the crust dulls and becomes fragile. But fresh chestnuts are very smart, and beautiful crafts from chestnuts you can create right there, right on the street, walking with children. For example, it is enough to add eyes to the chestnuts in the plunge, and you will get funny faces, on the left in Fig. From the husked ones, figurines like a snowman are also collected right on the spot on matches, toothpicks or twigs, on the right in rice; mouth, nose, eyes can be pierced and scratched with a penknife. True, chestnut-colored snow does not exist even in areas of man-made disasters, so children call such figures (at least they once called them) “fried stuffed meow”.

The trail from the plyus on the chestnut seed is wide and looks like a monkey's face, therefore, like a hedgehog made of cones, so from chestnuts, the most common craft is a figurine of a monkey. As for the other figures, then it's only a matter of imagination; see next page for some samples. rice.

Here, as mentioned above, it is better to use toothpicks instead of matches. First, you don't have to prick the chestnuts many times. Secondly, from chestnuts on toothpicks, you can collect complex volumetric compositions, like models of molecules chemical substances, pos. 1 in fig. on right. Bulky little things from chestnuts with a surface that looks solid at a glance (crowns of topiary, vases, baskets) are collected already on propylene thread or nylon cord using a sewing needle. The rather wide gaps between the chestnuts need to be covered with something, acorns and beans are most suitable for this, pos. 2.

In complex compositions on autumn theme Created at home, chestnuts are often made into mushrooms by cutting the peel along the equator and cutting the core, so something similar to boletus, porcini or Polish mushroom is obtained. To imitate butter and mushrooms, it is better to put an acorn on the leg, fastened to the cap with a piece of a toothpick. The underside of the cap is tinted with acrylic paint, see fig. left. And to get a boletus or fly agaric, they already paint the hat.

Leaves

Autumn crafts of the leaves are the most common. Immediately on a walk from the leaves, you can weave a wreath on your head - which of the girls in childhood did not feel like a princess in it? A wreath of dead leaves is made in the same way as a wreath of wildflowers, see the video below. You just need to take leaves with long stalks - maple - and in the southern regions, plane trees are suitable.

Video: a wreath of leaves - an example of making

A dead leaf is considered a very short-lived material: it is suitable for work only for a few hours, then it dries up and becomes fragile or rotten. Crafts from autumn leaves without additional preparation and processing are kept in a room with moderate humidity for 2-4 weeks. But what is this preparation with processing?

In order for crafts made from autumn leaves to last until spring, or even several years, you will need:

• PVA glue or water-polymer emulsion. It is sold in packages of 5 liters for construction and woodwork, but this is the same PVA, highly diluted.
• Water based acrylic varnish.
• Distilled water in an amount sufficient to dilute varnish and PVA (if there is no emulsion) 3-5 times. Distilled water can be purchased at any pharmacy with a prescription department.

The essence of the method is in distilled water. For wood impregnation, PVA can be diluted with ordinary tap water good quality, but in order to make the dead leaves suitable for finer work and to fix the whole product, there should be no dissolved salts in the water. Step-by-step instruction increasing the ornamental qualities of a fallen leaf and strengthening autumn leaf crafts is not difficult:

1. We dilute the varnish and, optionally, PVA, 3-5 times. Thus, we obtain a bactericidal water-repellent impregnation-plasticizer and varnish-fixer. The proportion is not critical, solutions in a tightly closed container are stored for a long time;
2. Leaves, not yet brittle, are cleaned of dirt with a soft toothbrush and rinsed in tap water;
3. Then we blot them with a paper towel or napkin and dry them not in direct light or near heating appliances;
4. When there are no visible drops and a film of moisture on the leaves, we treat with a soft brush on 2 sides with a water-polymer emulsion or diluted PVA;
5. After the impregnation has dried (1-3 hours), let the leaves work. You can only glue them with PVA or acrylic glue!
6. The finished product several times, until it ceases to be absorbed, is covered with a fixative varnish;
7. When the fixer dries, the craft can be opened for strength and gloss with undiluted acrylic varnish.

It is best to fix appliqués from leaves on paper in this way. On the wall, they can hang in their original form for several, up to 10 or more years. If autumn pictures from leaves are created in this way for a kindergarten or school, then it is possible to create a large gallery for several generations of children, or even a museum.

A little more about applications

Children's works made from dead leaves sometimes participate and win prizes at serious autumn opening days with an authoritative jury; parents of young authors may then be asked to accept their offspring in a school for the gifted. What are the criteria by which sophisticated art critics and artists determine worthy work?

The most important thing is laconic expressiveness, it has always been appreciated and appreciated in art. The second condition is the minimum additional materials, coloring and cropping, as in fig. You cannot become an artist without feeling nature, and its feeling is largely reduced to the ability to see the hidden expressive possibilities of blanks. Third, some splendor and fine detailing is not forbidden, but without frills and only where they are necessary and appropriate. And, finally, thematic compositions are especially appreciated, where the same set of materials plays with all sides, as if on the trail. rice.

Cups-vases

The same technique finds application in the creation of volumetric objects from leaves. The basis is a balloon. Inflatable balloons come in different shapes, so it is possible to make them from leaves of autumn cups, vases, jugs. Inflated balloon smeared with petroleum jelly and pasted over with leaves treated with plasticizer in several layers. When the workpiece dries, the ball is blown off, and the product is fixed and, if desired, varnished.

Trees and bouquets

Autumn topiary and bouquets are closely related to phytoplasty (this is the art of creating volumetric pieces of decorative art from leaves). The simplest, but rather reliable and natural-looking, stem-stem of an artificial autumn tree is a crumpled and twisted kraft paper bag. Branches and twigs are obtained by tearing the top, also twisted into bundles. Then the barrel is treated with the same diluted PVA, and then it is a matter of your imagination, see fig. on right.

The creation of autumn bouquets is a special art that also comes from phytoplastics. In addition to school ones, by September 1, they are collected from flowers for cutting for the season. Here we can say the following about autumn bouquets - decorations. First, the bouquet is the same as on the left on the trail. rice can be made much more durable, leaving it almost the same in appearance, by drying it in the sand. Building sand is needed the finest and yellowest, from a relatively soft feldspar with rounded grains, but without a large admixture of iron salts, i.e. not white quartz and not reddish or tawny. You also need a vessel made of thin plastic, in which the bouquet will fit without touching the walls and bottom. Then we proceed as follows:

1. We take so much sand that the selected vessel is filled with it entirely;
2. The sand is thoroughly calcined on a baking sheet in the oven, and cooled to a temperature 3-5 degrees above room temperature. Its control is a thermometer immersed in the sand;
3. We hang the bouquet upside down in a dish on crossed sticks so that it does not touch the walls and bottom;
4. Gently, smoothly circling the edge with a trickle, fill the bouquet with sand to the top of the dishes;
5. We dry not in direct light and without additional heating in a warm dry room for 2-3 weeks;
6. We put a container with a bouquet on the edge of a larger vessel;
7. We cut a hole in the bottom of the drying container with a sharp knife and gradually release the sand;
8. Without turning the bouquet, blow off the remaining sand from it with a syringe or a household hairdryer at the lowest power without heating.

The bouquet on the right in fig. - very popular now composition with roses from leaves. She needs fresh maple leaves. It is not necessary to process them immediately, as described above, it is impregnated and fixed ready product... And how to turn leaves into roses, see below the master class in pictures.

Harvest in the bins ...

Compositions on the theme "Golden Autumn" are also a separate art, the synthesis of phytoplastics and autumn bouquets, with their own exhibitions and competitions. They are usually timed to coincide with the harvest festival, so the indispensable elements of the golden autumn compositions are ripe fruits of fields, orchards and vegetable gardens in large quantities, see fig.

Compositions "Golden Autumn"

Here, firstly, splendor is needed, symbolizing abundance. Secondly, light, veiled, erotic hints in the form of pepper pods, etc. are acceptable and desirable. And what is it, because autumn is the time for weddings? In the old days, this made a very definite sense. It was not accepted for newlyweds to delay the conception of offspring. The wife gave birth in the spring, when the mother could already receive fresh food and vitamins. And the baby by his first winter turned out to be so strong that he could survive it, if the year turned out to be a poor harvest.

Descendants of the fallen leaf

Phytoplastics also gave birth to autumn origami. The purpose of this flow is to create an autumn mood, which is achieved with a base of dry branches, and the leaves are folded from paper, for an example, see pos. III fig. The art of paper folding is origami.

How to make leaves for an autumn bouquet - origami

There are, so you know, 2 directions of origami: origami-do, or high origami, and modular origami. In origami-do, only 1 solid square sheet of paper is allowed; possibly colored, no cuts, no glue or tools. Modular origami objects are glued from parts and can be painted. The workpieces are allowed to be trimmed.

Which of the types of origami you like more is up to you. How the origami-do maple leaf is folded is given in pos. I; willow - on pos. IV. And how it is done and what a modular origami maple leaf looks like is shown in pos. V and III resp.

Acorns

Coming to the end of our review of autumn crafts, one cannot help but linger on acorns. For children, acorn toys are a special world, because they see small objects larger, more convex and brighter than adults.

Several species of oaks grow within the Russian Federation, and a few more have been introduced from Asia and the Western Hemisphere. All of them have different acorns, pos. 1 in fig. Acrylic adhesive smooth acorns are glued into complex objects; one example is shown in fig. at the beginning. But traditionally the objects of acorn inspiration are mini-compositions.

If the original cone figurine is a hedgehog, and the chestnut one is a monkey, then acorns are also inherent in manifesting themselves in micro dishes. The acorn set can also be assembled on site, pos. 2. Handles - strips of bast or thin bark. Holes for them are punctured with the edge of a penknife. The same service, but using plastic and glue, homemade is possible, pos. 3. Effective and mini-compositions of acorns on any other topic, pos. 4, it's just a matter of imagination. For example, original frames recruited from acorn caps - plus, pos. 5. Do you need a lot of them? Are there few acorns on the ground? As much as you like, you can string it on a cord and make an excellent wreath on the door with glue, pos. 6. And only from 1 acorn and a set of hats by the same stringing - a snake, see fig. on right.

Here in fig. "For inspiration" we give the details of the acorn watchdog and samples of figures of this type. But the little man on the right from the category of "stuffed-meow fried" can live with movable arms-legs. To do this, their acorns are pierced with an awl and the limbs are collected not on toothpicks, but on a copper winding enameled wire with a diameter of 0.6-0.8 mm or pieces of twisted pair computer cable veins ("vitukha"). The conductors of these wires are made of oxygen-free copper, which can withstand quite a large number of bends. The conductors of electrical wires are thinner, 0.15-0.4 mm, and they are made of ordinary electrical copper, more fragile.

The insulation of the "vitukha" wires is brightly colored, so they are well suited for making acorn toys in combination with other natural materials. For a short tutorial on this part with examples of figurines, see fig. Beaks are made from sunflower, pumpkin and melon seeds, and a bird's tuft is made from a corn seed in the upper left.

Note: from acorns, pierced with wire and painted with acrylic paint, they make crafts - bunches of grapes, olive branches, etc., see fig. on right.

Autumn in an adult way

Autumn is also the most favorable time for people involved in decorative arts made of natural materials quite seriously and even professionally. In the rivers in early autumn there is a low-water period, the time of the lowest water level. Here you can find well-ironed and soaked driftwood along the banks. Root plastics is the art of wood carving on roots and snags, based on a successfully found blank.

Later, in the midst of leaf fall and at the end of it, burials, burls of wood on the trunks are looked for in deciduous forests. Not to be confused with a boxing mouthguard, an anti-knockout device! The burl on the tree is a masculine neoplasm.

Walnut and oak burls are especially appreciated, their durability is centuries, and the wood has a very beautiful texture. But they are rare and grow slowly, although burrs on a nut reach several meters in diameter and weigh several tons. However, these are isolated cases in history. Birch burls are suitable for funny crafts and wooden household items, but in a season they can grow as big as a child's head and by the end of sap flow gain full strength.

Equipment for the extraction of snags and mouth guards is placed in a backpack or hung on a belt. This is a small sapper or folding garden shovel, tourist saw and hatchet. The main thing here is to discern a hidden essence in an unprepossessing growth or slimy squiggle, see fig.

Photos are posted here children's crafts from cones, autumn leaves, seeds, nuts, branches, straws, birch bark and other dry natural material sent to. This is the first part. See the second part of the work.

Crafts from leaves and cones are, perhaps, one of the most popular and beloved among children. In addition, they are very simple and interesting at the same time, so most of them are suitable for children over the age of two.

Crafts from leaves and cones and plasticine

Leaves with cones are in themselves a wonderful natural material for children's creativity, but to make the work even more interesting and varied, you can supplement them with colored plasticine.

From such material you can make great amount a wide variety of animals or fairy-tale characters, just a little fantasy is enough.

If you are doing with older children, the part of the plasticine with which the parts are connected can be replaced, for example, with toothpicks. To do this, you need to make a hole from the part, apply a little glue to the toothpick and insert it into this hole.

One of the simplest such crafts is a hedgehog.

For such a hedgehog, you will need one long cone, a little plasticine, and acorns or small leaves.

From plasticine, it is necessary to mold the muzzle and legs for the hedgehog, and then simply glue them to the body. It is advisable to make the eyes and nose of a different shade so that they stand out. On the back of the hedgehog, place several acorns or small leaves, which are also attached to the body in the selected places.

It turns out very funny a bird, which is made of natural material and plasticine. In this case, the body of the bird will be a bump, and the wings attached to it with plasticine will be leaves.

If you want a forest owl instead of a regular bird, you can use acorn caps for the peephole.

Crafts from leaves and cones - applique

For application, you can use leaves of various shapes, colors and sizes. If you plan to do winter appliqué work, such material must be properly dried. To do this, it simply needs to be flattened and placed between the pages of a thick book.

You can use an iron for this purpose. In this case, the selected leaves are leveled and laid out on paper in one layer, another blank sheet of paper is laid out on top of them, and then you can iron everything with an iron. Paper is needed so that the leaves do not stain the surface of the table or the surface of a heated iron.

In addition to the leaves themselves, you will also need for applique work: thick paper or cardboard (they will become the basis for work), a little glue, a glue brush and plasticine.

First, you just need to think over the plot of the future application, spreading the leaves on paper and making a drawing out of them. When the plot is ready, you can take glue and carefully glue all the details to paper or cardboard. In order for the finished work to look beautiful and the leaves are not deformed after the glue dries, it must be applied carefully along the edges of the leaf. When you glue all the details to the sheet, place a blank sheet of white paper and a thick book on top. In a day or two, when everything is completely dry, you can take out the work and decorate the room with it.

If you additionally use bumps, you can make not a simple application, but a whole bright composition and use it to stage a fairy tale. Such an activity, among other things, has a positive effect on the development of the baby's spoken language.

Crafts from leaves and cones: a master class

Coniferous cones are an excellent material for making crafts, and it can be not only New Year's homemade products, garlands or Christmas tree decorations.

The basket turns out to be very interesting and original, which can be filled with sweets or simply put into it a beautiful bouquet made of autumn colored leaves.

To make such an unusual basket, you will need: at least thirty pine cones of approximately the same size, a piece of thin flexible wire, a special glue gun, and a piece of dense wire.

First you need to make a circle out of the cones, fastening them together with a flexible wire. To do this, take one cone in your hands, wrap it with wire several times, and then wrap the short end of the wire around the long one, thereby strengthening it. In this way, strengthen all the cones, which for a circle you need about ten to twelve pieces, positioning them so that the sharp ends are directed towards the inside of the circle.

After that, make a second circle with a smaller diameter, using about eight to ten cones for it. For a small basket, two round blanks are sufficient. If you want to make the basket larger, you can prepare three round blanks. Then you need to glue the blanks together with a special glue gun.

You also need to tackle the handle for the basket, which will require about eight to ten knobs, fastened together with a thick wire. The handle itself is attached to the base of the basket with a glue gun.

To make the bottom of the basket, you will need to place a circle of a suitable diameter, cut from thick cardboard, into the hole of the bottom blank. Then glue a few bumps to it, applying glue to their wider part. This will hide the cardboard. As you can see, everything is done very quickly and easily. And to make your basket look even more interesting, fill it with berries or sweets.

On the eve of new year holidays such a basket can be used for interior decoration. To do this, you can simply fill it with small Christmas tree decorations or tangerines.

And if you collect a large basket, it can be an original packaging for a gift to friends for a birthday or some other holiday.
