Classmates

With the arrival of autumn, not only is it time for rain, but it is also time to create beautiful autumn crafts. It’s good that autumn is no less generous than summer and we have plenty to use for making autumn crafts for kindergarten.

Additionally, to work with natural materials you will need paints, brushes, a glue gun, small colored pompoms, feathers, leftover felt or fabric, beads, and other various decorative options.

Now, knowing what to make autumn crafts from, let’s quickly start creating them. For example, from pine cones These are such cute chickens. For them you will need cones, yellow gouache, a brush, foam ball or large bead, glue gun, plastic eyes, piece orange felt and scissors. Paint in yellow and a cone and a ball, glue them together, glue a felt beak and eyes to the head, and a pair of legs to the bottom of the cone. If you have a couple of real feathers, you can glue them to the sides of the chicken.

A hedgehog from a pine cone can be made in two versions. In the first case, you will need a pine cone, a piece of light brown or beige felt, eyes, a small black pompom, and a glue gun. Cut out a piece for the hedgehog's face from felt, decorate it appropriately and glue it to the pine cone.

The second option assumes the presence large quantity fir cones, plastic bottle a small volume with a black lid, a glue gun, jute rope, large-sized ready-made eyes or leftover black and felt felt white. Wrap jute rope around the neck of the bottle and glue the pine cones over the entire surface of the bottle. Cut out the eyes from felt and decorate the muzzle.

You can make a wonderful owl if, after a trip to the forest, you have acorn caps, a piece of bark and a pumpkin seed. Just glue all the parts and secure the owl to the tree branch.

To make a snail, you will need chestnuts, plasticine and a pair of matches for the horns. If there are no matches, then you can replace them with toothpicks, however, it is worth protecting the child from injury and gluing a bead to the tips of the horns.

You can also turn a chestnut into an incomprehensible but funny animal by gluing huge paper eyes, a pair of paper legs and a braided hat to the chestnut.

Everyone's favorite bright bug, a ladybug, you'll definitely succeed if you find a chestnut, a pair of eyes, paints and two pushpins. You can read more in our master class.

Young fans of the cartoon “My Neighbor Totoro” can create their favorite character from an acorn and paper. Paint the acorn with gouache, and make the ears from tiny leaves or paper and glue them to the acorn.

A nut shell will turn into a boat in a matter of minutes if you glue a tree branch inside each shell and attach a sail made of a leaf.

Manifold autumn leaves stimulates children's imagination and as a result we can see completely unusual things.

For example, these funny little people made from leaves. Just glue the maple leaves to the paper, draw the arms, legs and glue the eyes and nose.

Every baby can make hedgehogs from leaves if the mother draws a hedgehog’s face on paper and trusts the child to glue leaves and needles to it.

Another forest dweller, red-haired and cunning, can become your autumn craft. To create it you will need a maple leaf, paper eyes and ears, a small pompom for the nose and PVA glue.

Another version of forest animals made from leaves and paper. To give your craft the features of the desired animal, simply draw a face on paper and glue on appropriately sized ears made from leaves.

With the help of leaves you can make not only animals, but also people. Cut out a head from felt, paper or foamiran, glue on eyes with a nose and make a fluffy hairstyle from maple leaves.

Woodsmen, the indigenous inhabitants of the forest, will be made from cardboard tubes, leaves, buttons, small stones and pieces of chenille. It is best to fasten all the parts with a glue gun.

Also, cardboard tubes can be turned into autumn trees if you paint them in brown, glue one edge to the cardboard, and attach autumn foliage to the second edge.

No paper? This means you can make leaves from cardboard and knitting threads. Cut out leaves from thick cardboard and wrap with thick, bright threads. Glue the end of the thread and hide it between the thread layers.

Don’t forget about buttons, another universal material for crafts.

If you repaint old and unnecessary puzzles, you can get a beautiful autumn tree. Make a tree trunk from leftover fabric, folded into a pigtail and glued to a thick base.

But, if, nevertheless, you managed to collect large stocks of autumn herbarium, then you can make such beautiful candlesticks. You will only need small leaves, PVA glue, a brush and a glass jar.

And you can decorate a photo frame with acorns, where you will place a photograph taken during your last trip to the forest.

As you can see, there are a lot of options for autumn crafts for kindergarten and school. All you need is just to stock up on natural materials for crafts in time and open our website.

Good afternoon, today we will talk about autumn crafts. And we will make these crafts from natural materials with our own hands. Autumn is rich in a variety of materials. And so we will do with A variety of crafts on the theme of Autumn- from leaves, branches, acorns, chestnuts, straw, moss, dried flowers and other natural materials. I will show you interesting ways to create autumn crafts with your own hands using ordinary natural materials. in an unusual design way. In this article you will find fresh ideas, that will inspire you to get creative this fall. So, we go on a quiet hunt for ideas for the best crafts for the fall 2017 season.

Autumn natural material is rich in ideas for a variety of crafts for children. Let's see what ideas you can implement this fall.

Leaf compositions

and natural material.

Who said that autumn crafts from natural materials should be done while sitting indoors? Golden autumn beckons with warm sunshine and the smell of rotten leaves - and we don’t want to sit within four walls. We go outside with the children to catch a little more warmth and warm our eyes with the yellow fire of autumn leaves.

Crafts on the AUTUMN theme can be made from natural materials right outside. In my yard, next to the entrance. All you need to do is find a quiet, windless place. Instruct the children to collect a stack of bright leaves and a bucket of dry pebbles.

And so it begins interesting game– laying out crafts from autumn natural materials. For novice craftsmen, this can be a simple tree. Heavy pebbles press down the yellow leaves and prevent them from flying away from the wind. The craft can be saved as a keepsake in the form of a photograph.

If there is a whole pile of pebbles near the place where you walk, then you can make a craft from natural material on a larger scale (as in the photo below).

If you are observant, you may notice that different trees have different colored foliage. If we collect yellow leaves from an ash or birch tree in a separate bag, red leaves from an aspen or Canadian maple in another bag, and a little more brown, blackened leaves, then we can make a Winnie Bear like this on our porch.

Any silhouette picture can be laid out from a colored mosaic of nature itself. The main thing is to find a place without strong wind. And have time to photograph this beauty before it flutters from the wind and flies away like a bird.

The natural materials of autumn themselves will give you ideas for collages - gray branches (like the gray plumage of a wing and tail), yellow leaves (like yellow fluff on a chest). And here you are, the tit bird.

You don't have to be an artist, you don't have to have a lot of leaves. Even the smallest piles of leaves can be used to create beautiful autumn crafts. The most simple craft with your own hands, arranging the foliage according to the colors of the spectrum looks like real magic.

You become little wizards. Secret gnomes-assistants of Queen Autumn. You misbehave secretly, leaving good signs, funny symbols of the autumn season.

And some crafts can be made using a tree trunk as a base. Make the tree smile. The nose is a bump, two eyes are cut from a wood log, and a smile is made from physalis fruits strung on a thread.

Do you know what mandalas are? In the east, mandalas are sacred patterns closed in a circle. A harmonious pattern repeating in a circle is like a map of the universe. Mandalas are painted or laid out from mosaics, colored sand, and flower petals. Mandalas are a spiritual practice that allows you to touch the divine principle within yourself. You need to make mandalas in a special state of mind - pure, serene, enlightened.

We can also make beautiful harmonious mandala patterns with our own hands in the form of crafts from natural material – bright, beautiful autumn material.

Your autumn mandala craft can be very small (as in the photo below).

Or a very large one, consisting of many circles in a cyclic pattern.

Mosaic applications

on the theme AUTUMN.

All children love mosaics. Why don't we make it from autumn natural material.

Since the leaves are too large for mosaics (and suitable for laying out large paintings in the yard), for small indoor works we can cut an ordinary succulent maple leaf into small squares. Place them in bowls - yellow, green, red separately. And let the children themselves lay out a bright mosaic craft from such a natural material that is pleasant to the touch.

You can use cereals or seeds as an ornamental material. A very good natural material for autumn children's crafts is yellow corn kernels or large pumpkin seeds painted with gouache.

And a mosaic of whole leaves can become the crown of a tree - a simple and quick craft made from natural material, which is suitable for kindergarten children. You can stick the leaves on paper, or on a transparent office file - and then such a craft can be mounted on a window, the leaves will shine in the sun. A beautiful children's craft for younger children.

Crafts on the theme AUTUMN.

Natural material STONE.

Here is another wonderful idea for crafts made from natural materials in autumn theme. Ordinary flat river stones can become a canvas for autumn paintings. You can paint stones with a brush, but it is better to apply the design using dots technique - round wooden sticks or special dots sticks (metal devices with a round ball at the end) are suitable for this. They are sold in the manicure department as they are intended for painting on nails. The ball tips on the dots sticks have different sizes, which allows you to draw even dots of any size.

You can also draw owls on the stones - this is the simplest drawing - the main thing here is expressive eyes, pointed beak, and oval wings with even rows of feathers. First we draw with paints, then we outline each painted element with a contour (white, as in the left photo or black, as in the right photo below). And a thin contour outline of the elements will make the craft-drawings clearer and more expressive.

Such owl crafts made from natural material will look good on driftwood with scraps of moss, inside a wooden frame, glued to a cut log.

And it’s even cooler to put such an owl inside a hole cut in a thick round cut of a tree trunk.

Autumn crafts

with tree branches.

Ordinary tree branches can also become the source of an interesting DIY autumn collage. This natural material is lying around completely unused. You can give children the task of collecting beautiful, non-dirty twigs in a bag while on a walk, disassembling them at home, clearing them of debris and breaking them into small pieces.

Next, on a sheet of paper, draw the outlines of a basket with handles. And either we give the child plasticine, or we arm ourselves with a glue gun and begin to assemble our basket from sticks. Then all that remains is to put the fruit in it (cut it out of cardboard, draw it and then cut it out, or use the cut-out applique technique).

And if, together with the chopsticks, you collected beautiful leaves, then you can make a children’s craft tree from natural materials.

Long sticks found in the park can not be broken, but put aside to make them a new craft-panel made from natural materials(as in the photo below). The principle is simple. The sticks are laid in the shape of the sides of a square - we tie the junction of the sticks with twine (wire, thread). And then we decorate such a frame using natural materials and colored paper.

You can place a canvas inside a frame of branches - we tint a sheet of cardboard with paints, make holes on its sides with a hole punch - and tie the sheet with threads to the branch frame, pulling the thread through the holes and around the branch (as was done in the left photo below). And then on this canvas we make an application from natural material on the theme of autumn.

Or you can simply decorate the frame along its perimeter - at the bottom of the square we attach a bush, mushrooms, pieces of moss, bark, and a cardboard hedgehog to the plasticine. On the top of our panel made of natural material we hang a garland of autumn leaves cut out of colored paper, a sun, clouds, and a kite.

From the branches you can lay out large applique in the shape of an owl , a children's craft, which is entirely made from natural materials that autumn is rich in. Branches, dry and fresh pine needles, withered fir legs. You can lay out the applique on a sheet of plywood and secure everything with glue - or make a temporary mosaic on a walk right on the ground or stump.

Looks very nice DIY HEDGEHOG made from natural material . This fall craft is my favorite in this post. Let me even tell you in detail how to simply and easily make such a hedgehog with your own hands. It's really very easy. Now you will see this.

First, we find beautiful thick twigs from a bush or birch branches - we cut them with scissors or a knife into segments with long oblique cuts (as in the photo of the hedgehog below).

For this autumn craft you will need plasticine - a large piece. Where can I get it? I never throw away used plasticine from children's crafts; I put it in one common pile - then I soak it in hot water this multi-colored pile - it becomes soft like fresh dough, and I easily and simply knead this whole lump with my hands into a homogeneous mass - I get a large piece of fresh brown plasticine of excellent quality. You can make a variety of crafts from it for a long time

We form the body of a hedgehog from plasticine- drop-shaped. And row by row we stick pieces of branches into the thick part of the hedgehog - the oblique cuts should all point in one direction.

2 ways to design a hedgehog's face.

1 way. I wrap the hedgehog's plasticine nose with a piece of burlap or a piece of gauze (bandage) soaked in a solution of iodine and water.

Method 2. The hedgehog's face can be coated with PVA glue, covered with pieces of paper napkins, coated with glue again, another layer of napkins, glue on top and allowed to dry - you will get a layer of papier-mâché. We cover it with paint - draw eyes and a nose on it

Craft-web from branches and leaves.

You can also make beautiful decorative pendants on the AUTUMN theme from natural materials. We will need straight, even branches - like willow. We look at the photo, and below I give detailed step by step description this children's craft.

A detailed master class on this craft made from natural materials.

Take a lump of plasticine and divide it into 2 small pellets. On the first cake we place the branches in a circle (that is, radially from this plasticine center) - so that the tips of the branches meet in the middle of the plasticine cake. Lightly press each branch so that it sinks into the plasticine. Cover the top with a second piece of plasticine, also pressing it onto the branches. It turns out to be a splay with rays of branches.

Now we need coarse threads - the ones that are used in the store to tie up packages with purchases. Such canvas-paper thick gray threads. With them we begin to weave a web between the branches - starting from the plasticine center and gradually moving towards the outer edge, until our web rests against the edge of the maple leaf.

Craft autumn kaleidoscope.

Also you can do colored kaleido made from natural material – from branches and leaves (as in the photo below).

For this craft we will need hot glue (or the ability to weave threads between crossed branches). Now I will give a detailed master class on how to create this craft with your own hands.

Step 1 Cut 4 rods of equal size. Two of them we cross cross over cross - fasten with glue or thread. Two others we cross in the same way. We now have two crosses made of branches.

Step 2 We place these 2 crosses on top of each other diagonally - so that they form snowflake figure. We fasten the middle of this clutch with glue (or fix it with threads).

Step 3 We make a round ring from a flexible willow rod (fresh or soaked in water). We attach this ring to our “snowflake” made of twigs - so that the edges of the ring are at the same distance from the center - along each rod(we measure with a tape measure). If the distances are the same, then the ring will be even and not crooked.

Step 4 As a result, we got a circle from the branches, divided into triangular sectors. And all that remains is to find large maple leaves of different colors - pure yellow, pure red, pure green, pure orange. From them you need to cut out triangles that are suitable in size to the hole sector on the future kaleidoscope. Cut out the triangle like this: so that the central vein on the maple leaf passes through the middle of such a triangle– divided it in half like a bisector from geometry. And we attach all these multi-colored triangles made of maple leaves with a glue gun to the sectors of our structure made of natural material.

Autumn applications

Made from natural material.

And of course, all children love to make appliques from autumn natural materials. Small and large paintings of leaves and dried flowers. The most favorite children's crafts on the theme of autumn.

The symbol of autumn made from natural material is, of course, a hedgehog. What can it be made from, from leaves, from flowers, from twigs, from maple or ash seeds.

The simplest hedgehog is made like this. Cut out the silhouette of a hedgehog from cardboard. We give children plasticine and maple seeds. We begin to attach rows of seeds to cardboard with plasticine - you need to start from the back of the hedgehog. Children are eager to start with the muzzle - explain to them that this is not correct, that then it is not convenient to do the back rows of needles, when the front needles stick out back and get in the way.

Using the same principle, a hedgehog is made from flat natural material - leaves and dried flowers. Also starting from the butt, we attach it to plasticine or glue. This is the most common children's craft on the theme of Autumn.

Children also love making fall turkeys. This is also a simple bird craft that doesn’t require much natural material. The body and head of the bird can be cut out of cardboard. Or the head and torso can be cut out with scissors from the same maple leaf (as in the photo of the craft below).

YOU can do crafts without using colored paper, but by cutting out all the parts necessary for the picture from natural material, in the event that you do not find a leaf of a suitable shape.

Here's a great idea. Large craft LION. It can be made from real natural leaves. Or you can design it as a collective paper craft. In the kindergarten group, we distribute sheets of paper with a maple leaf drawn on it. The children's task is to cut out the contour of this sheet. At the end of the lesson, all children attach their leaves to the lion's mane. Good idea crafts on the theme “autumn” - for middle group kindergarten, when children are in their first year of learning how to cut out contours with scissors - they will cut out a maple leaf for about 10 minutes, and puff with zeal like steam locomotives.

If you work in a large group of children (as a kindergarten teacher or a teacher, or a circle leader), then you can make one large collective craft. For example, this bird is made from natural material. We cut out parts of the bird from cardboard - the left wing separately, the right wing separately, the body separately and the tail separately. Divide the team by 4 creative groups . Each group of children receives their own piece and begins to place leaves on glue or plasticine. After completing the work of each team - we combine the details into one common bird craft made from a natural material as bright as autumn itself.

Autumn crafts-paintings

Made from natural material.

And of course, autumn material makes beautiful bright collage crafts in the form of natural landscapes. In the photo below we see how different materials- paper, leaves, herbs to make a painting-panel.

You can dry many flower petals. And make a big collage with the children blue sky and the blue river. Stretch a bridge across the river, cut out of a blackened autumn leaf (in order for the leaf to turn black, it must be ironed with a hot iron through a newspaper).

And if you don’t have enough dry natural material, then you can paint a picture in gouache or watercolor and lay out only individual elements of the landscape from leaves and herbs (as in this craft below).

Autumn crafts

from natural material.

Autumn nature is rich in a wide variety of ornamental materials - hawthorn berries, rose hips, pine cones, fluffy moss. After a walk in the forest, you can make an elegant autumn composition with a candle. And arrange romantic dinner by candlelight with an autumn theme.

Thick cut logs, round birch logs and walnut shells - this poor natural material can become a source of inspiration for such a craft in the form of a mushroom clearing.

From the found cones you can make a variety of characters with your own hands. And place them in the form of a single autumn composition, made with your own hands from natural materials (wood, leaves, moss, wood chips, etc.).

Fresh oak branches plucked by a hurricane can be dried in the shade of a shed, under the roof. Oak leaves do not lose their juiciness when dried green. And then they can take part in interesting crafts, made with your own hands from autumn natural material.

A wreath - a symbol of autumn - made from natural material in all shades of bright foliage will delight your whole family. It is so interesting to collect leaves - to select only the most beautiful ones. You need to weave a wreath with your own hands from willow twigs and weave autumn leaves into it with threads, plant pine cones on wire or glue. On our website we have a special educational article on weaving wreaths from twigs and branches -

The bright fruit boxes of physalis, twigs with hawthorn fruits, and immemorial flowers look beautiful in autumn wreaths.

But even if you don't have bright natural material to make an autumn wreath, don't worry. You can do bright wreath of gray pine cones. You just need to take more gouache. Paint each pine cone in shades of fall foliage. Spray with hairspray (to make the color richer and not stain your hands). And then collect all this colorful splendor of autumn into a rich wreath with your own hands.

The cones in the wreath can be placed with their butts forward (as in the photo above), or with their noses forward (as in the craft below).

You can make decorative autumn wreaths from one natural material. Only from rose hips - string the red fruits onto copper wire and bend it into a heart shape.

Or your fall wreath can be made from a log of wood found in a woodpile.

In the same woodshed you can find natural material suitable for making a composition with owls.

Your autumn compositions can look like cheerful people made from birch cuts, decorated with various natural materials that autumn is rich in.

And tufts of mown grass can turn into a hedgehog if you (or good neighbors) have physalis blooming profusely. Its boxes can be sewn with thread to a straw bale. Wrap the sharp edge of the bale with twine and glue on the nose and eyes.

You can also make it from natural autumn material beautiful candlestick . We will need the bottom part of any white bottle of household liquid (washing balm, etc.).

We unroll transparent wide tape on the table. On its sticky surface we place beautiful small leaves, seeds and other flat natural material, wrong side up. We place it so that there are empty spaces of adhesive tape between the elements (so that there is adhesive space).

These are the new ideas for this fall - made from natural materials. You've found inspiration here. You fell in love with some crafts. And that means this fall will not pass by your skillful hands. All that remains is to collect natural material, of which there is plenty everywhere, and, fortunately, it is free. Like in that poem...

Autumn is coming in our park,
Autumn gives gifts to everyone.

And we give you even more other articles on the topic of autumn crafts.

Olga Klishevskaya, especially for the site.

Outside the window, autumn has already arrived and everything around has begun to be covered with beautiful multi-colored fallen leaves. And before the rain turns this beauty into a wet mess, it’s time to get creative! Especially if your child comes home from kindergarten or school with an assignment to make an autumn-themed craft.

A herbarium of leaves collected in the fall is a whole wealth and raw material for children's crafts. You can come up with a lot of options for using such natural material. Since it is necessary to practice creative activities on creating unusual figures with children, we suggest you interesting idea for creativity.

Just work with dried and fragile material very carefully.

By practicing such activities, children will eventually independently learn to think creatively and notice the amazing features of natural objects.

If your soul wants something original, we suggest creating an autumn flower arrangement. Namely, the bouquet “Autumn Mood”.

The product consists of two elements – a vase and flowers.

For flowers we need:

• leaves of different sizes and colors;
• glue gun;
• wire or thin twigs (for the stem);
• scissors, pliers (for wire).

Be careful with the glue gun if you are doing leaf crafts with your child. It’s better to trust your child to select the leaves, arrange them by color, cut them and serve them to you.

As it turned out, leaves with slightly curved edges produce more realistic roses (green flower). Try to curl the edges of the leaves to avoid any petals sticking out. Large leaves can be cut in half. For a rose 8-10 cm in diameter, you will need 15-20 leaf fragments measuring 5-6 cm.

Work progress:

1. Take the wire and bend the edge.

2. We begin to form a rose from leaves and their fragments. We wrap the first sheet around the eye of the wire and secure it well with glue. We continue to glue the leaves in a circle, filling the empty spaces.

3. The bottom row is the sepals. Take 5 leaves of small size and contrasting color. Glue it in a circle, thereby covering all the “insides” of the flower. In the photo you can see small red leaves under green petals - these are the sepals.

4. The stem of the finished flower can be wrapped in floral tape and a few leaves can be tied to the stem. If you are using twigs, simply glue a couple of leaves along the stem of the flower. The autumn rose is ready.

To form a beautiful bouquet you will need several flowers - 3,5,7. Try to make them different in both color and size. It will look more colorful this way. You can fit several buds into the composition. They will help fill empty spaces in a flower arrangement.

Vase for autumn bouquet

For a themed vase you will need any small bottle (glass or plastic), twine, a couple of acorns or hazelnuts. And, of course, a glue gun or any other glue. We wrap the bottle with thread, periodically securing the result with glue. We attach nuts or acorns to a small piece of twine using glue. We tie the result on a vase.

If your bottle was large, you can decorate it with an appliqué made from halves of a nut shell or any cereal at all. Instruct your child to come up with something to decorate the vase with. Direct his imagination in the right direction.

Now you can form from flowers beautiful bouquet and put it in a vase. It will be more convenient if the height of the stem of each flower is different. You can fill the space in several tiers.

Such crafts made from autumn leaves can become not only original decoration any interior, but will also help you win at any school exhibition.

Nature itself suggests thousands of ideas. You don’t need to be an experienced craftsman to create a unique decoration for your home filled with warmth and care with your own hands. And kids enjoy participating in the creative process and making amazing crafts just like adults. Master class - how to make one - read here.

Why not make a hedgehog with your child from a pine cone and plasticine? Autumn colorful leaves will add special colors to your work.

Encyclopedias say that hedgehogs live in forests and parks, but sometimes they can also be found in village courtyards. Spiny animals make nests in woodpiles. At night, individual daredevils or a full-fledged family go out in search of food.

The dried greenery in the beds rustles quietly. At dusk, the direction of the hunters is clearly visible. Hedgehogs do not worry that the owners of the yard see their movements. As a rule, quiet and harmless neighbors are not driven away, sometimes even fed with milk.

What does a hedgehog eat? Insects, slugs, mice. This means that such an animal is beneficial for those who garden.

The hedgehog made from a pine cone turned out so cute. As a decoration, you can decorate the thorns with plasticine or a real small apple, and place the hero himself on a carpet of autumn maple leaves. Detailed master class- how to do this - read here.

By the way, hedgehogs are considered fast animals. They are capable of speeds up to 3 m/s. At the same time, prickly animals jump and swim well.

The resulting hedgehog, unlike the real one, can be safely picked up. It will not hiss and curl up into a ball, warning of danger. This hero will not run away from his little owner, but will happily stand all autumn and even winter. The pine cone hedgehog does not hibernate. He is ready to celebrate winter and New Year holidays with his children.

How to make one - read here.

These fun ones are very easy and quick to make. See the detailed master class here.

So, we will need: acrylic paints for fabric (with gold and silver jars), a set of tassels, cotton fabric, filler, thread and needle.

Step one. Making a layout

In the layout we have to figure out what our toy will look like. At this stage we make an initial sketch, then a pattern, and sew the parts together.

Our autumn is sewn from a single piece of material. You just need to make her legs and one arm separately (the arm is cut out from another piece of fabric and sewn on top of the product). When all this is ready, you need to fill the toy with cotton wool or other material and sew up all the holes.

Step two. Time for creativity

Now we must draw our autumn goddess. You can completely repeat that drawing finished product which will be given below. In any case, you should use orange, gold, yellow and red colors, because autumn is rich in these colors.

Our autumn has a big tambourine in her hands, as if she is convening the whole world so that people, animals and animals can rejoice in the last warm days. Next, you need to paint the toy (to make the paint stick better, you can apply PVA glue to the fabric).

Step three. Decorating our toy

You can decorate our beauty endlessly. After all, autumn is unique. You can glue a bead to it, add sparkles - whatever your heart desires. Look what a wonderful autumn we have had. Lovely to watch.

Goddess of autumn with your own hands

Physalis in pumpkin

Autumn bouquets can be made not only from fresh flowers, but also from oak branches with acorns, sea buckthorn, barberry, rose hips, viburnum, elderberry, rowan, wild grapes, bright physalis lanterns, ears of corn, etc.

Such compositions look great in a pumpkin vase, wicker basket, tin bucket, or clay jug. The vessel can be decorated with ears of corn and decorated with ribbon.

Will-o'-the-wisps

Decorate the candles in autumn style Acorns, birch bark, physalis, hawthorn berries, and small decorative pumpkins will help. Simple thick candles can be wrapped in birch bark or inserted into small pumpkins, where the top is cut off and some of the pulp is removed. Glass candlesticks will look original and festive if you paint them with stained glass paints.

If you drill holes in a thick branch the size of candles, decorate with small pumpkins, cones and berries, then original candlestick ready for home.

September wreath

To set the mood, you can weave a wreath on the wall or front door. Flexible branches are suitable for its base. Bet on a vine, straw or wire coat hanger curved into a circle. The hook has been received. It is better to imagine decorative elements as leaves, hop cones, grass panicles, tree branches, grapevines, acorns, rowan berries. In any case, it is convenient to attach it to the base with a heat gun (an alternative fixation is with a thin wire).

Decorate the wreath in an autumn style; fortunately, there are plenty of natural materials - bright leaves, thin branches, vine balls, etc. Or you can hang the leaves from the frame. An old lampshade or wooden staircase is suitable for it.

Leaf fall on the sofa

What could be more pleasant than a cup of aromatic tea, drunk on a sofa with soft pillows and a warm fleece blanket? In textiles, it is better to use soft, velvety fabrics of autumn colors (brown-red, bright orange, burgundy, marsala, terracotta, muted green), prints in the form of leaves, vegetables, autumn flowers.

It is convenient to cut out the decor in the form of autumn leaves from thick fabric and stitch it to the background with a zigzag. If the leaves are made of felt and the edges do not need additional processing, you can sew them onto the pillowcase using a regular seam - this will give volume and help create a planned composition.

Acorn frame

Cover a passe-partout made of thick cardboard with felt, decorate it with a bouquet of small decorative elements in autumn style: apples, acorn caps, felt leaves, berries, etc. The bouquet can be made removable, attach a pin to it and use it as a brooch.

Invite the children to cover a cardboard frame with acorn caps, insert a thick piece of plain cardboard or a burlap background inside, glue in a beautiful leaf or any other gift from nature.

What about the holiday table?

Use autumn motives in serving. Make napkin clips in the form of an oak bouquet: felt leaves, acorn caps with a soft colored “nut”. Mossy twigs can be collected into a ring and decorated with half walnut. Don't forget to make small bouquets of oak leaves and berries.

The yellow and red leaves can be used as placemats or to decorate dishes. Let autumn bring bright colors and comfort to your home!
