You need to take a thick sheet or cardboard as a basis and draw the outline of the future composition on it. Then coat individual fragments glue and stick the seeds. Cereals or grains. So you need to fill in all the elements of the picture in turn.

Another option for panels using seeds and grains. We draw a picture on the cardboard and fill it with plasticine. To do this, fill different fragments with small pieces of plasticine of different colors, as if rubbing it. And only then we glue the seeds onto the plasticine where necessary, pressing them into the layer of plasticine. For these panels you can use drawings of animals or insects, landscapes.

You can't live without vegetables

A special place is occupied by do-it-yourself crafts made from natural materials, made from vegetables or using them. Usually bouquets or any works made from pumpkins look very bright and stylish, autumn-like. This is a bright vegetable that allows your imagination to unfold. It can turn into a mushroom, an arborist, an owl, or a flowerpot for a bouquet. Let's look at several options step by step.

You can make a whole family of these caterpillars.

Potato hedgehogs

1. We take several potatoes and cut one half into a cone, this will be the muzzle.
2. We decorate the muzzle with eyes (they can be glued ready-made or made from plasticine or beads).

We create masterpieces for a school competition

Many schools hold competitions and exhibitions at the beginning of each school year. Often the task for such events is to create a composition, a bouquet from what can be found in the fall. First-graders approach these competitions especially responsibly.

We offer several ideas for crafts from natural materials that you can simply quickly and beautifully make with your own hands in grades 1 and 2. They are quite simple. Some first- and second-graders can cope with them without the help of their mothers, but for more complex masterpieces they need the help of their parents.

Landscapes

They love to bring landscapes or scenes with any characters from pine cones, acorns, chestnuts, twigs and roots to school, and even to kindergarten. It’s very interesting to make them yourself and imagine how ordinary twigs and cones come to life and begin to live a new, magical life.

Autumn bouquets

Classics of the genre - autumn bouquets of foliage, dried flowers, branches in beautiful variations and interesting design.

You can use a beautiful bright pumpkin as a container for a bouquet and fill it with dried flowers, twigs and leaves. The pumpkin will need to be prepared:

• cut off the crown;
• clean out the seeds;
• Blot the inside of the pumpkin with a paper towel.

Now you can fill it with a beautiful composition to suit your taste.

You can make roses from maple leaves. How to do it:

1. For one rose you need several (6-7) maple leaves.
2. Fold the first sheet in half and twist it tightly into a tube.
3. Next, fold the second sheet in half and wrap it around the first curled sheet, but press tightly only at the base, and leave the top free.
4. We wrap the third sheet, folded in half, around the second, covering the joints.
5. So we twist all the prepared leaves into a rose. Secure with thread at the base.

We make several such buds and collect them in beautiful bouquet. You can supplement it with other leaves or collect a whole basket of autumn roses.

2. We dilute the plaster with water to the consistency of very thick sour cream.
3. We put plaster into the pot and insert the stem. Plaster dries quickly, so you won't have to wait long for it to dry.
4. We fill the pot around the trunk with moss and any material that is available.
5. Using hot glue, we cover the ball with leaves, dried flowers, pine cones, acorns and other natural materials.

The topiary is ready. Here you can give free rein to your imagination and make very interesting compositions. These are the kind of amazing things that can be submitted to a competition for crafts made from natural materials with your own hands from 1st grade or even older children.

Decorating the home

You can quickly and beautifully decorate your house or cottage in the fall with your own hands by creating simple crafts from natural materials.

Autumn lanterns

On a dank and damp autumn evening I really want to wrap myself in a blanket and sit on a cozy soft sofa and dream. Candles or lanterns will help create a suitable atmosphere, which, by the way, can be made with your own hands using maple leaves or any other trees. Let's see how we can do this. First, let's prepare everything you need:

• autumn beautiful leaves, pre-dried according to all the rules (more on this later in the article);
• transparent glass jars;
• PVA glue and brush (you need to take it wider);
• decorative candles. You can use regular or electronic ones with a battery.

Let's begin the process of creating candlesticks:

1. Carefully coat the leaves with glue on one side.
2. We glue them in a chaotic order onto the outer surface of the jar. After all the leaves are glued to the jar, you need to coat them on top again with a thin layer of glue. Let dry thoroughly.
3. The neck of the jar can be decorated with a rope or decorative rope.
4. Now we put a candle inside, light it and enjoy the comfort.

Autumn wall panel

We offer you to look at 2 options for panels that can be used to decorate a room in the fall. The first option is a picture from autumn leaves with a metallic shine effect.

For the painting you need:

1. Apply a thin layer of putty to the base. Next, all work must be done quickly, before the putty dries.
2. Place leaves coated with PVA glue on top of the putty as desired. You need to press them quite a bit into the putty layer.
3. Using a crumpled piece of paper or another leaf, we blot a layer of putty in some places, where there are no leaves, to give it structure.
4. Now let it dry thoroughly. Since the putty layer is small, the work will dry quickly.
5. Now we cover the work with black paint. Let it dry.
6. Now dip a dry sponge into gold or silver paint, remove the excess and lightly coat the entire work to highlight the relief and give the effect of a metallic shine.

This panel will look like it is an imprint of leaves on a metal surface. The finished panel will adequately decorate your interior.

The second version of the panel is a picture of dried flowers and twigs

Let's prepare for her:

• several branches different lengths and shapes;
• rope or thick thread for knitting;
• dried flowers, dried leaves;
• scissors.

Let's start creating the picture:

1. You need to choose what shape the panel will be. It can be square or triangular.
2. We fold the branches into the desired shape. We wrap the joints tightly with thread, cut the ends of the thread and hide them.
3. We carefully wind a rope or thread over the entire width of the resulting frame, making a mesh.
4. We lay blades of grass, leaves and dried flowers into the resulting thread mesh.
5. After everything is ready, the panel can be sprayed with varnish.

Miracle in a jar

A craft made from natural materials can easily fit in a jar and can be made with your own hands quickly and beautifully in order to decorate your house or cottage and add a touch of autumn mood to the interior.

DIY crafts made from natural materials: video

Fir and pine cones are an excellent material for voluminous toys and entertaining crafts. All sizes of cones should be collected - from small to large.

Place the sorted cones, size and volume (elongated, round, open and closed, old and young, pine and spruce) into separate boxes.

In the spring, when you collect old, dried cones with fallen seeds, you don’t have to worry about them becoming deformed over time. To avoid deformation, glue the autumn cone: dip it in a liquid solution of wood glue. Once the cones have dried, the glued scales will not open up and diverge into different sides, and the shape of the product will be preserved.

From pine and fir cones you can make various animals, birds, all kinds of figures, using plasticine, clay, sticks, fabric, feathers and other finishing materials to help. Each toy consists of several parts that are assembled into a base - a pine cone. Such a toy is either attached to a board under a stand, or hung, like a Christmas tree toy, on a loop. The most difficult thing is to sculpt the head of the toy. To do it right, you should stock up good pictures with the image of a particular animal or bird.

When starting work, you should first of all take care of a strong fastening of the toy, that is, a stand, if the toy is not intended to be hanging (Christmas tree). The stand can be plywood or thick cardboard, cut into any rectangular or round shape. The stand should not be bulky, but it is necessary that the toy fits freely on it, taking into account additional finishing: moss, cotton wool or other finishing materials.

It is best to secure the pine cone on the stand with a nail driven into its middle with the point up. A hole is pierced in the cone with an awl, and it is put on a nail. For a more durable fastening at the base of the nail, you need to smear the stand with wood glue or place a lump soft plasticine.

Toys made from pine cones can be given to a sponsored kindergarten; they can be used to decorate fabulous tabletop theater performances, models, and illustrate fables and poems in Russian language lessons. Such toys are hung from the branches of the tree by loops or they are placed around the tree, at its foot. Make pine cone toys for hanging lighter so that the branches do not bend from their weight. Therefore, the head and all additional parts for them should be made of cotton wool, cardboard and paper, and not of clay or plasticine.

Duck, chicken, goose, rooster- all poultry is made from cones of the same type. For the head and neck, a piece of soft wire of the required length is bent, which is secured to the handle of the cone by wrapping it between the rows of scales. Make the ratios of the sizes of the head, neck and legs by checking with drawings or with live birds. Attach the ducks and swan to the stand with wood glue. The stand can be designed in the shape of a river or pond by placing blue-painted cellophane or glass on the base. Cover the banks with moss and dry herbs. To attach roosters, hens, and birds to a stand, use small pieces of plywood and cover them with moss; Use twisted copper wire to make legs for the birds.

Make the heads and beaks of all birds from birch bark, cardboard, cloth or celluloid. Make the tails and wings of the rooster from feathers, the wings of the geese and swan from pieces of white birch bark.

When sculpting a neck and head from plasticine or clay, you need to carefully finish and smooth out all the roughness of the form. There are no irregularities on the neck of birds, and plasticine or clay applied with strokes will give the toy an ugly, sloppy appearance.

Fox, squirrel, bunny. They are made from cones of different sizes, the assembly principle and fastening are the same.

Tails, except the bunny's tail, are made from an additional cone, strengthening it on a wire.

Muzzles, sculpted from clay or plasticine, are attached to the stem part of the cone.

Attaching to the stand is carried out by placing the cone on a nail. Animals standing on their paws are attached to a stand with nails.

The scales of the cone, facing from the muzzle to the tail of the animals, will be like fur. The tail is attached with the scales facing upward.

For foxes and squirrels, the tail bump should be long and fluffy. The bunny's tail is cut out from part of the cone-body.

The eyes of the animals are glued together using beads on plasticine. The beads can be replaced with shards of black graphite from a pencil.

The paws are made from matches, wire, pasted over with scales or covered with plasticine. It’s good to stick one scale at a time on top of the plasticine. Thanks to the wire base, the legs can be bent as you like, giving the figure a tilt.

Having sculpted several animals, you can create entire pictures, illustrating fables, fairy tales, and puppet shows.

Telescope fish. Made from a short, thick pine cone. The telescope's eyes are two convex balls. Glue them with beads or simply stick them with plasticine. The tail is glued together from curved feathers of different lengths. If a fish is made for a Christmas tree, it is painted with silver or gold paint.

Chick. The body cone is selected according to the shape of the selected pattern. The design of the remaining parts of the bird depends on the available material and taste. The head and neck of the bird are made on a wire frame.

You can make several of these birds and paint them with colored tsapon varnishes. Feather trim and varnish.

Mother hen. pine cone strengthened obliquely on two twisted wire legs. The neck and the spherical frame of the head with a beak are strengthened from twisted wire under the scales of the cone. A round head is sculpted from plasticine on a wire frame, and it is good to glue red cloth or celluloid onto the beak on top of the wire. The tail can be made from feathers or cut out a figurative image of feathers from cardboard and paint them brighter. Excellent eyes will be made from black beads on white circle bases.

Crane. Between the scales of the pine cone, a wire frame is firmly strengthened for long legs crane The neck is made no less long. The figure shows how to bend the wire to give it the shape of the head, beak and neck. All other design of the bird is as usual.

Special attention Pay attention to the strength of fastening the pine cone to the frame and to the stand. Carelessly made frames of paws, necks and heads fall off easily.

You can also cover the roof of a small house on the model with scales. It will look like tiles. The scales can be painted with colored varnishes or oil paint. The single-color scaly roof is varnished.

Children's carnival costumes can also be decorated with cone scales. They can be sewn, strung, glued to fabric and paper, and made into various appliqués.

Little bear. For this toy you will need six old, open fir cones: one large and wide for the body, four smaller ones for the paws, and one small, possibly spherical, for the head. To attach the paw to the body, thin soft wire wrap the cone at its very base, passing the wire between the scales, and twist its ends one with the other. Then, pulling the cone-paw to the body, wrap the wire around the cone-body twice, passing the wire between the scales, but so that it is not visible anywhere, twist the ends, bite them off with wire cutters and hide under the scales of the cone. Having thus attached all four paw cones to the body, attach the head cone in the same way.

From pieces of old, unnecessary leather, suede or leatherette, cut out claws for the paws, two circles for the eyes, two ears and the nose of the teddy bear using scissors according to the included patterns. Sew two shiny black beads or small buttons in the center of the eye circles. Separate four scales from the cone and glue them on both sides to the ears with wood glue.

Sew the eyes, nose and ears to the bump-head, as discreetly as possible, with thick black threads. You can also glue the ears by spreading glue on the base of the ears and pushing them tightly into the depths of the cone-head. Also sew on the bear’s claws and bend them with finger pressure. Cover the bear's nose and claws with black varnish or paint them with black paint, and then cover them with colorless varnish.

Squirrel. It is made according to the same principle as the bear cub. Take three fir cones: medium-sized for the body, small for the head, large, fluffy for the tail. Connect them together. From scraps of old leather or suede, cut out the squirrel's paws and ears according to the included patterns. To make the paws hold better, make them on a wire frame, then cover the frame wire with a strip of brown material or wrap it with brown darning threads. Attach the legs to the wire so that the wire is not visible. Place a nut, an acorn or a small cone into the squirrel's front paws, attaching one or the other to the paws with black thread or thin wire. Make the squirrel's eyes from black beads. For the ears, just like for the teddy bear, glue cones between the scales or sew them on. When the squirrel is ready, attach it with wire to a round or rectangular stand. Cover the wire or nails with small tufts of green moss.

Fairytale bird. Prepare a large pine cone with very open scales, twigs for legs and feathers of different sizes. It is better to choose goose feathers, as they are better colored than others. Before dyeing feathers, first dip them in a soapy soda solution, and when they are dry, paint them with aniline dyes in bright colors: yellow, blue, red, green, orange. Long feathers are needed for the bird's tail, small feathers with down are needed for the neck. Attach the feathers to the cone like this: pierce the cone with a triangular awl, coat the end of the feather with wood glue and insert the feather into the hole. Attach the stems-twigs to the cone-body in the same way as feathers.

Make the bird's head from cardboard, leather or cloth. Between two patterns made of leather and cloth, be sure to glue a piece of cardboard or wire to hold the head.

Now take care of the tuft: pick up some bright, beautiful, shiny beads or beads, string each bead onto a piece of thin wire. Twist the wire into a knot and place it in the middle of the bead so that it is not visible. Place the ends of the wire on the first head pattern and cover them with pieces of paper. Then apply glue to the second pattern, fold them together and place them under the press. When the head is dry, glue it to the body of the bump.

Now all that remains is to paint the head, glue glitter eyes to it and secure the bird either on a wooden stand or on a tree knot. The bird is ready.

Cockerel. Draw the outline of the cockerel (without the tail and crest) on cardboard and cut out two copies of the cockerel body with the head. Then select the feathers for the tail and color them required colors. From a small piece of red velvet or cloth, cut out a comb and a beard, also in two copies, and glue them together.

Apply wood glue to the first and second patterns of the cockerel's body, place the comb and beard on one of the patterns, and cover the first with the second pattern and place it under the press. To make the cockerel more voluminous, place wire inside the patterns. The ends of the wire can serve as the cockerel's legs and be attached to the stand. When the patterns are dry, sew the tail feathers onto them with thread.

Take a straw, cut it lengthwise and cover the cockerel’s legs with these strips; they will look very similar to the legs of a live rooster. You can wrap the cockerel's legs with darning threads suitable color, or you can just color it.

Paint the beak and upper part of the cockerel's head with paints and cover the neck and entire body of the cockerel with fir cone scales, arranging the scales so that the upper one covers a little of the lower one.

Glue a few feathers in the place where the cockerel should have wings.

You can attach undyed, natural chicken feathers of brown or yellow color. Make the cockerel's eyes from beads. You will get a very interesting, bright cockerel. The cockerel can be made more voluminous.

Flying bird. Dip the pine cone into the glue solution. Then remove the bird's head. Make the head like the head of a bird of paradise, only without the crest. Then cut from thin cardboard bases for the wings and sew feathers to these pieces of cardboard. Glue fluffy feathers on top to cover the bases of the large feathers. Make the tail in the same way.

When the wings and tail are ready, use a triangular awl to drill holes in the cone and, having smeared the bases of the wings and tail with wood glue, insert them tightly into the holes made in the cone.

Glue the bird's head and small branches-legs.

Feathers for such a bird can be dyed, or you can use natural ones - white, yellow, variegated feathers.

So that the bird can be hung on the tree, make a long loop on the back.

Hedgehog. Take a large, unopened fir cone and dip it in liquid wood glue to prevent the scales from opening when they dry. Cut two strips of brown fabric half a centimeter wide and a little long less length bumps. Place one strip on a piece of paper and glue fir needles onto it, one next to the other. Glue the strip with needles onto the bump. When the glue has dried, lubricate the row of needles you glued at the base with wood glue and at the same time thickly spread the glue onto the strip on the pine cone itself. Glue the second strip of fabric so that it sticks to the first row of needles and at the same time to the pine cone. Continue gluing rows of needles, alternating them with strips of fabric until you get a round hedgehog. Do not glue needles to the hedgehog's tummy. Leave the hedgehog's face uncovered with the strips of needles. Then attach the legs of the hedgehog from wood knots, and make a nose and eyes from black beads.

You will get a wonderful prickly hedgehog, very similar to the real one. A hedgehog from needles can be made in another way. Look carefully at the picture, and the second method will be clear to you. Piece old fabric pull it, hammering it with nails, between two bars or boards. Then, dipping the needle in wood glue, stick it into the stretched fabric so that only a small tip remains at the top. And so stick the needles into the fabric one after another, placing them as far as possible closer friend to friend. Then remove the fabric, cut it according to the shape shown in the figure, and stick it on the cone, thickly smearing both the cone and the material with glue.
