Beautiful applications from autumn leaves. Crafts from leaves on the theme of autumn for kindergarten. Craft - an autumn bouquet of roses from maple leaves for schoolchildren

My daughter Katya in this wreath became the "Queen of Autumn" in 2007!

It is my deep conviction that our education, starting from Soviet times, is built on the following principle:

“If you did not complete the task of the teacher in childhood, you will still do it when you help your child” :-).

So, dear mothers, since we met on this page, it means that your child was given the task to bring an autumn craft. Guessed?

I'm sure you'll breathe a sigh of relief now! I collected a bunch of ideas, and your craft from autumn leaves will definitely please the teacher! 🙂

In order not to interfere with the whole experience of mankind in this matter, I tried to combine collages and applications that are similar in meaning.

Let's start!

Autumn leaves portrait

I did not find many examples of little men of their natural materials, but enough for inspiration. The face can be glued together from several fragments and an oval of the desired shape can be cut out.

For hairstyles or hats, choose coarser plants. You can use spikelets or stalks of dried herbs.

Here are some very cute characters "with a mood." Moms. Do not try to find leaves of the desired shape. To make a head, simply cut a circle or an oval from any sheet. If there are no dried narrow blades of grass for hair, cut a large sheet into thin strips.

I also found children for them, though not from leaves, but from acorns. To make them quickly, you will need a glue gun and a permanent marker. A scarf can be made from scraps of felt or any other bright fabric. Incredible kids!

Birds-butterflies-animals

This is the most common type of autumn creativity. We make up from dry leaves of different colors and shapes of cute animals and insects. Leaves of contrasting colors are hardest to find, as almost everything turns yellowish-brown after drying.

To have a choice, dry not only autumn, but also green leaves too, then the color palette will be much wider and you will definitely get something from this. By the way, dry rose petals look great on a peacock's tail, take note:

Here are simple and expressive birds. By the way, leaves with small flaws look quite harmonious, there are always a lot of unexpected spots in the plumage of birds. a couple of lines with a pen, and the beak becomes like a beak. Chickens are made in a minute, you can make a whole brood.

Impossible handsome ... Apple bit off :-). This collage is made using colored cardboard parts. My version of the hedgehog is on the right in the frame. We also sprinkled semolina porridge on PVA glue here and there. I hope the teacher enjoys...

Here is another option for those who can draw these simple drawings. Draw the head of a lion and a fish large - on the entire landscape sheet. Cardboard is preferred. The rest is clear from the illustration!

Information for educators and teachers! , there is a lot of useful and affordable!

dry leaf hairstyle

In these pictures of their leaves, lips, eyes and even cilia are cut out, but the face can simply be drawn, not laid out with thin branches, but we make a shock of hair not just from individual leaves, but from whole branches with dry leaves. The fact that they are dried not in one plane, but in volume, gives our work a special charm. Well, what a beauty ... I found it in my favorite social networks, I decided to post it here so that the idea would not be lost.

Cut out shapes from fallen leaves

I have highlighted these collages separately, as autumn leaves are used a little differently - it is just a material for cutting out simple figures and letters. Need to do it BEFORE the leaf is dry, otherwise it will crumble . First we cut it out, then dry it in the usual way in an old book or between newspaper sheets. So you can cut out whole words and phrases.

In order for the letters to turn out neat, print them on a printer of the desired size.

Now we put carbon paper on the autumn sheet, on top - your printout. We circle so that the drawing remains on a yellow sheet. It remains to cut!

This way you can make not only letters of the alphabet, but also simple silhouettes (animals, houses, clouds).

Interesting examples of paintings from autumn leaves:

Thuja twigs are used here, and the desired shape for application is cut out of dry leaves. For the house you will need thin dry twigs, but you can also collect from matches.

RA from this picture you can take the idea. The female profile is simply drawn, but the leaves in her hair may be not paper, but real ! Is it difficult to find them in different sizes and shapes to make such a beauty?

Here are some cute owls. A silhouette is cut out of paper, then we glue the leaves, as shown in the figure, and at the end of the work we cut all the protruding excesses along the contour of the cardboard blank. We make eyes out of paper in a contrasting color.

colorful collages

Autumn leaves are so beautiful on their own that they look great in frames and without any plot. Look how beautiful! The first layer is dark leaves, then put the contrasting and most beautiful ones, so the volume will be felt. Everything is framed.

I also liked the idea: we put a sheet of thick cardboard on a collage of leaves, in which a letter or a simple figure is cut out with a clerical knife.

Another unusual technique, which for some reason is called "iris folding" , I found on the site "Country of Masters". A detailed tutorial is here: http://stranamasterov.ru/node/99098

Photo frame

For the autumn exhibition, you can make frames for photographs and for the design of essays and poems on the theme of autumn. Here are the options I found. I think it's very simple and effective.

interior decoration

Autumn leaf crafts can be very romantic.

To get such a tree, you need to dry the leaves in advance, and only then reattach them to a beautiful branch with a transparent adhesive tape.

Working with a hammer...

Unusual technique. I saw on an American site, translation and. The point is that fallen leaves are placed between watercolor paper and a napkin, carefully tapped over the entire surface with a hammer so that the coloring pigment remains on the paper.

Roses from autumn leaves - master class

Autumn, fallen leaves crunch underfoot ... What a pity for this yellow-red fading beauty, crumbling and trampling into the mud. Here is a birch leaf - gently yellow, serrated, here are alders - ribbed, but mountain ash - a family of long leaves on a thin stem. Let's take them home and make beautiful autumn crafts, appliqués. We will also need a piece of colored cardboard for the background and glue to stick the leaves.

How to make an application of autumn leaves

Autumn leaves that have dried on the street are not even and rather fragile, so first we dry the leaves ourselves. We find freshly fallen, bright and beautiful, undamaged leaves, and put them between the sheets of some thick book. We put the book under the press (under something heavy). After a week or even earlier, even autumn leaves for application are ready, they can be easily glued to paper or cardboard with PVA glue.

Sequencing

A real artist sees living images in nature, so we will dream up. Let us lay out before us all our harvested and dried wealth and see what it looks like. Take suitable leaves and lay them out on cardboard until you get a picture. You don’t need to glue it yet, at first just spread it out until everything starts to suit you.

When the picture is brought to the ideal, you can stick it. We take one leaf at a time, remembering where it lay, spread it on the back side, glue it in place. If the application is multi-layered, first glue the lower leaves, then a layer of the upper ones. The craft is ready! You can admire!

But what if, well, the ideas of application do not come to mind, and the leaves look only like leaves, and not at all like bunnies and chanterelles? Then use our ideas.

Application of autumn leaves: how best to prepare the leaves
Application can be made from freshly harvested leaves, and from dried leaves.
The first way to prepare leaves for application . We all in childhood, collecting leaves, put them in books. Remember this? This is one of the ways to dry the leaves, which can then be used for application. In order not to accidentally stain the book, we cover each sheet on both sides with an ordinary paper napkin. If there are old unnecessary magazines, then we dry them right in them! The disadvantage of this method is that it takes time to dry the sheet.
The second way to prepare the leaves for application. And you can specially dry the leaves under the iron. This is a very fast way. We put our autumn leaf on a large sheet of paper, on top of it - another sheet of paper (newspaper) and dry it - iron the sheet with an iron. Then we lift the top sheet of newspaper or paper, allowing the sheet to cool.
Making a finished application from leaves: We put the finished picture under the press (heavy book) for 1-3 days. Then we place it in a frame (you can make it from colored cardboard or a candy box).
How to make a three-dimensional figure from autumn leaves using the application method, you will learn from the article.
You will find more interesting autumn crafts for children in the articles of the site:
- Paper application

Overlay application. Try to get started by coming up with pictures that don't require any details to be cut out of the leaves, but are created by overlaying the leaves. You can come up with a lot of such pictures: butterflies, mushrooms, chickens and other birds ... The missing elements can be added with a felt-tip pen or made from other natural materials.

Having practiced creating on simple pictures, you can start coming up with multi-tiered images. In this technique, the leaves are glued on top of each other in layers. The application will turn out bright and cheerful if the leaves differ in color.

Silhouette application. In this type of applique, the extra parts of the leaf are cut off to get exactly what the little artist intended.

Modular application (mosaic). Using this technique, a picture is created by sticking a lot of identical or similar in shape and size leaves (or, for example, maple seeds). So you can make the scales of a fish, the tail of a cockerel or a firebird.

symmetrical application. It is used to create separate images or entire paintings that have a symmetrical structure, as well as to obtain two completely identical images (for example, reflection in water). To do this, you need to select similar leaves to get an image with its “reflection” or symmetrical in itself (“Butterfly”, “Dragonfly”, “Landscape with a lake”, “Boat on the river”).

Tape applique- a kind of symmetrical application. Its difference is that it allows you to get not one or two, but many identical images - ornaments. It turns out whole "round dances" of trees, flowers, mushrooms, butterflies, etc.

Autumn is a truly magical time. And not only for romantics, but also for those who like to work with their hands. This season provides us with a lot of natural materials that, with a little imagination and patience, can be turned into beautiful crafts, appliqués or home decorations. When walking through a park strewn with fallen leaves, you will have the opportunity to spend time not only pleasantly, but also usefully: having collected an armful of beautiful leaves, you can either just put them in a vase or try to turn them into something unusual.
