Hello dear friends! Autumn is in full swing outside, for several days it was very warm for us, just an Indian summer, and the sun is so radiant, playing with all the colors of the rainbow on the yellow-crimson autumn carpet.
But today it started to rain, my son and I didn’t even go for a walk, although we walk in any weather, but today, in addition to rain, there is also a strong, bone-piercing wind, brrr ... so I decided to sit down at the computer and write this article for you , in which we will consider crafts from natural material with your own hands.

This week, an exhibition of autumn crafts took place in the kindergarten that our daughter attends. Last year, at a similar exhibition, we had a craft house from us, this year it is also, but now we doubled it in size, and hung curtains on the windows, it turned out to be a real Russian chopped hut, even come in and live), my husband dreams of living in a log cabin). So we train, increasing the size every year, so soon we will build ourselves).

Do-it-yourself house made of natural material

This time I will not describe in detail the stages of creating a house, you can see them in the last article. The technology for assembling a house from natural material is the same, only we took more material, so to speak, more massive, so that the house turned out to be prominent.

We definitely saw the branches for the house with a saw, my husband has such a small special file for metal, it helped us a lot, otherwise what kind of chopped hut is it without logs. You can see the saw in the photo.

This is a house on initial stage manufacturing

The second difference, this time we fastened the branches with liquid glue, special glue guns are sold, translucent rods are inserted into them, the gun is plugged into an outlet, heats up and the rod starts to melt.

This glue is very hot, if it gets on your finger, there will be a burn. So be careful when working with it. Another feature of this glue, which you can’t help but write about, is that it dries in a matter of seconds, it’s even more correct to say it freezes, so as soon as you apply glue to a branch, immediately apply another one to it, otherwise the glue will harden and the branches will not stick together.

The roof, like last year, we covered with dry ash catkins, we wanted to cover it with straw, it would probably be more beautiful, but we didn’t go to the village, and you won’t find it in the city).

The curtains were made of white satin ribbon, they need to be glued with inside. In this house we have as many as 3 windows and a door with a handle, everything is as it should be).

When the roof is ready, you can lightly paint it with autumn colors: yellow, orange, red. We also lay out the yard with dry leaves, also paint them with paints, the house around the perimeter can be surrounded by a fence woven from willow twigs, we just didn’t have time to complete everything we planned and put up a plastic fence, put pets in the yard: a plastic cow, a horse and a goat.

There was an idea to make a well from twigs, but again everything rests on time, we didn’t have time to implement it, I think next year we will build a whole village yard), you just need to start doing it in advance autumn crafts and not on the last day.

As a result, we got such a house made of natural material with our own hands. I liked it, how about you?

DIY crafts for kindergarten

At the exhibition, I took a few photos especially for you, dear readers, so that you can take something from this as an idea, or repeat, if your imagination is not enough). There were quite a lot of interesting works, all well done, they did a good job.

DIY photo

Here is such an interesting hedgehog made of cones was presented at the exhibition, if you are looking for crafts made from cones with your own hands, I recommend that you take a closer look at this hedgehog, it turned out to be very cute and large, the muzzle is made of plasticine, on top of the “needles-cones” the hedgehog has mushrooms from plasticine and chestnuts. They themselves sit on autumn bright leaves and dry grass.

Here are more hedgehogs from cones, only from individual ones, so the hedgehogs turned out to be small, such a family of hedgehogs. There are plasticine apples and mushrooms on needles, hedgehogs sit on the leaves around the mushroom, the mushroom cap is made of chestnut, and the leg is made of white plasticine.

By the way, while writing about hedgehogs, I remembered living hedgehogs at my parents' dacha. In the summer season, a whole family of hedgehogs came to the dacha, their parents fed them, and they began to come every evening for dinner, the hedgehogs really liked kefir with bread soaked in it, milk and meat pilaf, which was left from our dinner).

It was funny to watch these wonderful animals pushing each other away from the plate, snorting and puffing like a samovar). I even managed to take a picture of one of the hedgehogs.

All handicrafts made from natural materials presented at the exhibition were interesting. Here is another composition of fly agaric and boletus mushrooms and a hedgehog, made entirely of plasticine.

Hedgehog from seeds and plasticine

Here is another interesting composition of hedgehogs made of seeds and plasticine, a whole family, and dad and mom, and their kids. Cute hedgehogs turned out from seeds.

Crafts from chestnuts with your own hands

You can make excellent crafts from chestnuts, I photographed such an autumn chestnut spider at the exhibition. I won’t say how the chestnuts were attached to each other, I didn’t consider it, but it turned out interesting. Head decorated autumn leaves.

There was also such a pretty chestnut caterpillar. Chestnuts were attached to each other with multi-colored plasticine.

DIY autumn crafts from vegetables

I liked crafts made from vegetables, interesting, unusually so. Here on this composition the fox is made of carrots, very similar, beauty. The fox sits on pine needles, acorns are also laid. What is made from an apple, I, to tell the truth, did not make out). The composition is complemented by autumn leaves and chestnuts.

And here is another caterpillar made of apples and carrots, apples are fastened with toothpicks. Paws are made of toothpicks and circles of carrots. Such an edible craft turned out. By the way, you can use it as an idea for a treat for children. festive table tasty and fun for kids.

Here interesting craft from vegetables, Railway made of twigs, and train cars from eggplant halves. A house made of half a small pumpkin, heroes are sitting next to each other, if I'm not mistaken from Smeshariki. The train carries like vegetables).

I liked the vegetable craft based on cauliflower. Originally conceived. The lamb is very similar, and the poodle is also beautiful.

DIY house

And here are some other compositions with houses that were presented at the exhibition. Someone even settled in this house of branches), small and big-eyed. Near the house there is a plasticine basket with autumn harvest fruits and vegetables, near the pumpkin house, apparently bought in a store for decoration.

There was also such a house, the branches in it are connected with a rope. The roof is covered with arborvitae. By the way, in this composition there is just a fence made of willow twigs, which I mentioned above, after all, a natural willow fence looks much more spectacular and pleasant than a plastic one.

Craft from cones

An interesting, spectacular craft made of cones in the form of a wreath. The bumps are opened with paint, I assume that the paint is from a spray can. For decoration, plastic vegetables and fruits were used, as well as real and artificial autumn leaves.

Salt dough autumn crafts

A piece of salt dough was presented in a single copy. I liked it very much. Autumn motifs, grapes, pumpkins, mushrooms and, apparently, the gardener who grew it all).

Salt dough is beautifully colored, and for better fixing and saturation, you can use artistic varnish, the composition presented by me is covered with such varnish on top.

If someone wants to make crafts from salt dough, I will write a recipe especially for you.

How to make salt dough for modeling

We take two glasses of flour, fine salt, preferably extra and one glass of warm water. Mix salt with flour in a deep bowl, gradually add a glass of water, and mix thoroughly so that the mass becomes plastic.

If the dough seems dry to you, then add a little water, and knead again, if the dough is, on the contrary, watery and sticky to your hands, add a little flour and salt in a ratio of 2 to 1. The secret of elastic salt dough is that you need to knead it for at least 10 minutes , or even all 15.

This is how an article of ideas turned out, what crafts can be made from natural material with your own hands to school or to Kindergarten along with the children. In fact, with natural material, you can fantasize endlessly and give out amazing autumn crafts. And what crafts on the theme of autumn did you prepare for school or kindergarten? Share in the comments, I will be glad! My dears, not far off New Year, so I recommend a master class on making Santa Claus with your own hands, see.

God bless you!

With respect and love, Elena Kurbatova.

A finished house made of natural materials, made by hand, looks beautiful and original. It is sure to become a decoration of any holiday and even the interior.

The bizarre outlines of the branches involuntarily attract attention, and I want to capture this sophisticated beauty not only in memory or in a photograph, but also in real life. If desired, you can add an unusual decorative touch to the interior, making interesting compositions or creative products with utilitarian features. Crafts from tree branches is a great hobby that allows you to create beautiful decorative elements with your own hands without investing any money. financial costs. The interior of the house, decorated with this natural material, acquires a special sophistication, where everything is aimed at emphasizing its individuality. Before starting work, the blank for future crafts should be carefully prepared, taking into account the individual characteristics of the wood.

Crafts from branches - procurement of material

For creative activities to decorate the selected room (this may be, as well as and even), well-dried branches will be required. They are easy to pick up during forest walks, as well as pick up in a square or park. You can independently dry the branches that remain after sanitary pruning.

Before work, dry the material thoroughly for further use:

Inspected for cracks;
Cleaned from dust and dirt;
Exfoliating places on the bark are polished.

To exclude the appearance of unwanted larvae in the house, it is necessary to carry out disinfection using a weak concentration of potassium permanganate solution known to many. Depending on the idea, the branches can be painted in the desired tone, covered with stain or varnish.

Decoration of various items

Having brought home a bouquet, you can quickly make a creative vase using branches. For this, any suitable jar is taken - tin, glass, and pieces of branches are cut into pieces with a length slightly exceeding the height of the container.

They are placed close to each other in a vertical direction on outer surface jars and secure by tying with a beautiful braid or ribbon. You can plant branches with glue. Flower pots are decorated in the same way.

To make this wonderful vase, in addition to the glass base, you will need: a glue gun, dry willow or birch sticks, wire cutters.

  1. Harvested branches must be cleaned of bark. It is better to do this when the wood has not yet dried up, so it will be much easier to remove the bark;
  2. Next, using wire cutters, cut the bare branches into small pieces. Their size should be calculated based on the height of your workpiece;
  3. After the material dries, we glue each stick to the base in such a way that a kind of crate is obtained;
  4. It remains to give time for the glue to dry for 10-15 minutes. Congratulations, the branch vase is ready!

Crafts from branches will always find their worthy application in interior design of a house or apartment. Their shape and size can be completely different, because for their manufacture you can use various material. Products made from bark, chips, snags, cut logs or large branches, etc. will look good. It all depends on your imagination and personal preferences.

The branches installed inside will look no less original. glass jar continuous layer over the entire lateral plane. So that they do not crumble in an impromptu vase, the bouquet should be quite voluminous.

For the products described above, you will need fairly even trimmings from the lower ends of the branches. The upper thin stems will help create a delightful evening with flickering candles. To do this, they are simply placed in a glass container so that they rise above it, pour no more than half the volume of water and lower the floating candles.

Charming compositions from branches

Trunks crowned with a web of thin twigs, placed at the head of the bed in a niche cut through one side of the coffee table top, will help to bring an unusual accent to a room, for example, a bedroom. In the dining area or office, a high floor vase, in which, along with the branches, there will be dried cereals.

Bizarrely curved branched thin tree trunks are placed in a vase and decorated with matching colors for the interior. decorative elements. It can be sparkling stars or snowflakes on the eve of the New Year, bright valentines on the eve of the corresponding holiday of lovers, or just butterflies with fancy ornaments on the wings, birds, flowers, fruits, leaves from any material at hand.

Having strengthened graceful twigs on velvet fabric, in color in harmony with the general situation, and placing, after pasting on cardboard, the resulting composition in wooden frame, you can get an elegant interior decoration.

A beautiful branch can be supplemented with golden bows, Christmas balls or forest cones. This decoration will help good mood and evoke only positive emotions. In addition, New Year's decorations will create a festive atmosphere on the eve of the main winter celebration.

Branches in the interior: a step-by-step master class

Tall shrub trunks (willow is most often taken) will allow in an unusual way. For example, to separate the sofa corner from the rest of the space in the living room. Such a partition is made very simply:

  1. To do this, as a stand is taken wooden beam desired length. You can use absolutely any type of wood.
  2. In a bar they are drilled in checkerboard pattern two rows of non-through holes in which prepared branches are fixed vertically to the glue. In length, they should be about a meter less than the height of the room. The step depends on how openwork the resulting screen should be.
  3. To make the product look stylish, it is varnished.

The current bedroom design ideas are endless - birch trunks in the interior are proof of this.

Trimmings of trunks with a diameter of 8-10 cm with outgoing from the side up under acute angle strong branches easily turn into hangers dear to the heart. They can be mounted on the wall in the hallway, creating a natural corner with a specific purpose. Among the designer finds, you can find birch trunks that play the role of cornices and even racks near the bed for attaching a canopy.

Complement the picture coffee table, the base of which is a bundle of branches fastened in a vertical direction into a stable cylinder, and the tabletop is durable glass of round or oval shape.

You can make an option that is unexpected in effect by fastening the branches in the shape of a cube and laying it on the floor on the side face. A plastic or glass square tabletop is placed on top.

Often decorated with branches wall mirrors. They can be glued around the entire perimeter perpendicular to the frame or along it. There may be many options. Craftsmen easily make frames for photographs, children's drawings, reproductions of their favorite paintings from scraps of thin trunks.

A gracefully curved thick branch can become the basis table lamp. A branch with many branches, mounted on the wall near the mirror on the dressing table, will allow you to easily place all the jewelry.

Such work requires delicate female hands and special attention.

Creative inspiration is the main stimulus for a person who wants to create beautiful crafts from branches with your own hands.

In spacious hallways, one wall can be turned into fairy forest, by installing trunks reaching the ceiling behind a high plinth with LED lighting installed near the floor. This is one of better ways give your interior a picturesque look. Both thin and thick branches of trees can be used as material.

Small products made from dried snags will look original. For a change, you can use tree bark and wood chips, combining everything later into a single composition.
