Walking on fine autumn days in a forest or park, collect natural material with your children: beautiful colored leaves of different sizes, twigs, flower petals, cones, tree bark, small pebbles, etc. From all this wealth, you can make autumn crafts for the interesting leisure of children, as well as for decorating the interior.
The simplest craft that can be made from natural material. In addition, the game can be used for its intended purpose. It will be so pleasant to play with your beloved child in a self-made board game, while whiling away the long frosty winter evenings and remembering the long autumn walks.
For work you will need:
- glue gun;
- jute rope;
- scissors;
- 4 straight branches 30 cm long;
- 10 straight branches 7-8 cm long;
- 4 pebbles, cones or seashells.
Before starting work, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse and dry pebbles or shells, disinfect twigs and cones. From the twigs, assemble a square lattice with a mesh size of about 10 x 10 cm. Glue the marked places with a glue gun. Then, at the joints, tie it with a jute rope, which will play the role of not so much an attachment as a decorative element. Fold short branches into 5 crosses, also pre-fastened with hot glue and decorate the joints with a jute rope. The role of zeroes is assigned to pebbles, cones or seashells.
For work you will need:
- PVA glue;
- office or landscape paper - 1 sheet;
- glue brush;
- colour pencils;
- simple pencil;
- scissors;
- dry leaves and petals;
- colored cardboard;
- jute rope.
On office or landscape paper, draw a silhouette of a fairy with a pencil, cut it out. Lubricate with glue and stick on a sheet of colored cardboard. "Put on" the fairy clothes made of autumn leaves, gluing them with PVA. Color the fairy with colored pencils when the glue dries. Decorate the frame with jute rope.
Every autumn, starlings fly to warm lands, leaving their nesting houses to return home with the arrival of spring. Why not play it up in an autumn craft? Make a decorative topiary that you can use to decorate the interior or even present as a gift to your grandparents.
To create a topiary in the form of a birdhouse, you will need:
- thick binding cardboard;
- paper for sketch and template;
- pencil;
- scissors;
- jute rope;
- newspaper;
- glue gun;
- cardboard cylinder from paper or towels;
- ribbons, lace;
- paper tape;
- natural material (leaves, dried flowers, berries, pebbles)
- straight twig
- yellow-brown felt.
Draw a sketch of the future birdhouse, create a template and cut out 4 parts for the walls, one part for the bottom and two parts for the roof from the binding cardboard. Connect all parts except the bottom with paper tape. Assemble the house by gluing the parts with hot melt glue. Stuff the birdhouse with crumpled newspaper. Glue the stick and glue the bottom. Using hot melt glue, glue the cardboard cylinder with jute rope, cutting it if necessary to the desired length. Glue the cylinder to a thick cardboard base. Stuff the cylinder with crumpled newspaper and glue the stick on which the birdhouse is already hung. It remains to decorate the craft. To do this, use felt, ribbons, lace and natural materials.
