Autumn gifts of nature and crafts from them with children and for the home (35 photos). Autumn crafts from the gifts of nature

Autumn gives us a lot of materials for creativity. These are leaves of various colors, and chestnuts, and dried flowers, and acorns, and a decorative miniature pumpkin.

But, before you start making souvenirs from them, you need to properly prepare them, namely, dry them and, if necessary, varnish or paint them.

If you make crafts from unprepared raw materials, then this will be a short-lived product.

As soon as the material dries on its own, the souvenir will lose its shape and will have to be thrown away. And besides this, half-baked leaves can simply rot or become moldy.

Therefore, let's start by drying our autumn finds.

Let's prepare the leaves for the herbarium as follows:

1 way:

Put them between the book sheets and put them back on the shelf, pressing down firmly with other books on the side. After about a week and a half, the leaves will become suitable for crafts.

This method is the best, since the natural color of the leaves does not change and then they do not break for a long time.

2 way:

This method is good if you do not have the strength to endure a week and a half and want to quickly get to work. Place the sheet between two white sheets of paper and iron on the lowest setting.

In this case, the yellow and red leaves retain their color, but the green ones can darken and become an ugly, brown hue.

We dry chestnuts, acorns and decorative pumpkin.

1 way:

Dry outdoors in the shade. It will be necessary to wait quite a long time before these materials acquire the dryness we need.

Sometimes this process takes a month. This is especially true of decorative pumpkins, from which wonderful autumn DIY crafts come out.

You will see for yourself when the moment of readiness of the gifts of autumn comes. Acorns and chestnuts will become lighter, and the pumpkin will become like a rattle, as the cavity inside will dry out and shrink, and dry seeds will beat against the walls.

2 way:

We use the oven for this. It must be set to a temperature of up to 60C, and dried until tender, stirring occasionally.

The main thing is not to rush and do not set a high heat, as the fruits will simply boil and become completely unusable.

Drying dried flowers

There is only one way and it is long-playing. Flowers should be strung on a thread threaded through the stems and hung in a dry place, peduncles down.

Drying in a book or an iron will not work, so the shape will be lost and they will become flat. After the dried flowers are completely dry, they must be covered with a layer of hairspray. It will give them the right density and will not allow them to crumble at the slightest touch.

Well, now, let's move on to specific master classes and examples.

1. Panel of autumn leaves

We offer you a great DIY leaf panel idea. It is not difficult to make it, but the result is quite impressive.

It would be nice if you placed other autumn decor elements next to the finished leaf painting. For example, pumpkins, spikelets and other gizmos suitable in style. Then you will have a whole autumn ensemble.

What we need to work:

1. Dried maple leaves of yellow-red color.
2. Tree branch for the trunk
3. A piece of square plywood
4. Stain or dark varnish
5. Simple pencil
6. PVA glue
7. A bunch of dry spikelets
8. Wicker basket for pumpkins
9. A few Jack Be Little or Baby Boo pumpkins

If you do not have such pumpkins, then the basket can be filled with chestnuts and acorns. But next year it would not hurt to grow them, as they look very colorful and festive. Of course, if you have a piece of land.

See what a variety of varieties and how harmoniously they combine with each other:

Master class step by step:

1 step. Sand the board, paying special attention to the edges. They must be smooth.

2 step. Cover it with stain or varnish, preferably with a brownish tint. Apply the coating in several layers, trying to make the board not of a uniform color, but slightly “spotted”.

3 step. Freehand draw a large maple leaf.

4 step. Start gluing on the maple leaves. Start from the edges, gradually approaching the middle. The edges of the leaves should match the edges of the sketch as best as possible. The next row of leaves should overlap the previous one. Do not glue the ends, they should be “overhang” so that the effect of volume comes out.

5 step. Glue the selected branch in place of the stem.

Now hang a hand-made autumn panel over a cabinet and arrange other decorative elements around.

2. Topiary from a herbarium and other autumn materials

Topiary is an ornamental tree. In autumn, you can collect beautiful leaves and make such a wonderful and cozy element of decor.

Any leaves, dried flowers, acorns, spikelets will be used here. The main thing is to understand the essence and make the right foundation. And what to fill it with - fantasy will tell.

What we need to work:

1. Ceramic pot of soft color
2. Smooth tree branch for the trunk
3. 1 ball of foam rubber, polystyrene or special floral foam
4. Dry moss, sesame or a handful of beautiful pebbles, acorns, dry mountain ash
5. Glue gun
6. Gypsum dry
7. Decorative elements: herbarium, dried flowers, mountain ash, acorns, etc.

Master class step by step:

1 step. Let's start with the base. Take a styrofoam ball and put it on a branch that will serve as a trunk for you. Then remove it and drop glue from the gun into the hole formed. Reattach the ball and let dry.

2 step. Secure the stem in the pot. To do this, put a drop of glue on the free edge of the branch, attach it to the base of the pot.

Then, dilute the gypsum with water to the consistency of liquid sour cream and fill the container. Keep in mind that you will still need to decorate everything on top with moss or acorns, so leave a gap of about 3-4 cm from the top.

3 step. Now we insert leaves, dried flowers into the ball, sticking their stems inside. If you want to add acorns to the composition, then first put them on pieces of wire.

4 step. Now you just have to decorate the top of the pot so that the gypsum is not visible.

That's all. According to this simple scheme, you can make a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands, not only from leaves, but also from dry peas, nuts and other things. All of them will look just fine!

3. Roses from maple leaves

Looking at this elegant bouquet of roses, it would never occur to you that it is made from ordinary maple leaves!

But, nevertheless, it is so. It is enough just to learn how to fold them correctly and you will get a chic basis for many ideas.

Such roses can be included in various autumn topiaries, wreaths, compositions and panels. They look great in combination with any natural materials.

Well, let's get down to business.

What we need to work:

1. Maple leaves not dried
2. Thread or soft wire
3. Matte hairspray

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the middle of the bud. To do this, fold the sheet as shown in the pictures below. Try to twist it as tightly and evenly as possible. First in half, and then sausage.

As a result, we should get something like this:

2 step. Now take the second sheet, fold it in half again and wrap the base around it.

The sharp edges of the maple leaves need to be carefully hidden inside, like this:

3 step. We continue to build up mass around the base, fitting more and more new leaves. If you want to end up with a bud, then twist it tighter, and if you ate a more lush rose, then loosen the twist a little.

4 step. When you see that a real rose has “bloomed” in your hands, you need to fix it with threads, as tight as possible.

5 step. We cut the edges with scissors and put the rose on a lining of leaves, preferably already dry. We cover the composition with varnish and admire!

Such roses from leaves stand for a long time, for the whole autumn season it will definitely be enough. You can make as many of these colors as you like. The more of them, the more chic this autumn composition looks, resembling a fabric motif in appearance.

4. Compositions from decorative pumpkins

Even if you do not grow this vegetable on your site, in the autumn you can freely buy them on the market and then dry them yourself. How to do this, we have already told above, so let's not waste time talking.

Let's get creative!

There will be no master classes in this block, we will just show you examples of such decor, and how to make them is quite clear from the photo.

Of course, there are more complex techniques, for example, carving or painting on dry lagenaria, but this topic is extensive and worthy of a separate article. Here we will consider only the simplest compositions that even a schoolboy can do.

1 option. Basket with a scattering of pumpkins. It couldn't be easier, but the view is spectacular!

Option 2. Candlesticks from mini pumpkins. To do this, you need to cut a hole large enough with a knife so that you can put a foil-based candle in it.

Or this option:

Incredibly simple, right?

3 option. Wreath on the door of pumpkins. Take any circle as a basis, for example, an embroidery hoop, and attach mini-pumpkins to it.

Pierce the tails with wire and screw it to the base, circle. As additional decorative elements, use berries, acorns, twigs and autumn leaves.

It will look something like this:

5. Chestnut Topiary

To create this spectacular do-it-yourself autumn craft, we will need the same materials for the base as for creating a decorative herbarium tree. And for decoration, you just need other elements.

For work we need:

1. Ceramic pot
2. Styrofoam ball
3. Gypsum dry
4. Glue gun
5. Tree branch for the trunk
6. Cones, chestnuts, acorns
7. Harsh thread or twine to form decorative balls

Master class step by step:

1. We form the base of the tree in the same way as in the case of the leaf topiary.
2. We fix the base in a pot with glue and plaster
3. We apply drops of hot glue to chestnuts, acorns and other elements and randomly attach them to the foam ball-crown.
4. A wreath on the chestnut door

Such a wreath of chestnuts on the front door will cheer up not only you, but also passers-by. It is very easy to make it. Follow all the steps given for making a pumpkin wreath.

Find some kind of dense base, then pierce the chestnuts and other elements through the reverse side, insert the wire, form a hook and use it to screw them to the circle.

Complement the chestnut composition with leaves, acorns, berries and other autumn decorative elements that this fertile time of the year gave.

6. Autumn garland "Leaves" from salt dough

This is a very spectacular autumn craft with your own hands. The big advantage of such a garland is that it is not seasonal and will decorate your home for many years.

After all, it is made not from natural materials, but from salt dough, which does not deteriorate for years. The only thing is that such products are fragile and must be handled with care so as not to break. But, even if this happened, they can always be glued together, but the joint will not be noticeable.

What we need to work:

1. 2 cups flour
2. 1 glass of salt
3. 0.5 cups of water
4. Gouache
5. Sewing pins with hook eye
6. Twine
7. Oven
8. White landscape paper, pencil

Master class step by step:

1 step. We draw patterns of leaves of various types on the landscape sheet, but approximately the same size. We cut them out.

2 step. Knead a stiff dough of flour, salt and water. If the dough turns out to be non-plastic, then liquid can be added drop by drop. Mix well the resulting material and roll it out on the board. The layer should be approximately 5-7 millimeters.

3 step. We lay out the templates on the rolled out dough and cut them along the contour with a knife.

As a result, we should get about as many blanks.

4 step. We make holes with pins and carefully fix the heads. On them we will hang our leaves. We squeeze out the veins with a knife.

5 step. We dry the dough in the oven at a temperature of 50-60C until completely dry.

6 step. We color the blanks from the dough with gouache, trying to make natural tones and transitions.

7 step. We string the garland on the twine, making a knot over each leaf so that they do not move.

So our autumn do-it-yourself craft is ready. You can hang it anywhere, it will be in place in any corner of the house, especially if you have some other autumn-style decor elements.

7. Vases and houses from an ordinary pumpkin

Autumn is the season for pumpkins. It costs mere pennies and finding a beautiful shape and coloring is not difficult.

And to make an element of autumn decor on its basis is as easy as shelling pears! There is no need for any step-by-step technologies and accessories.

All you need is pumpkins, a carving knife, a tablespoon to pick out the pulp and flowers to fill these colorful vases.

Look at our selection of photos of pumpkin vases. Looks very dignified and autumnal.

As you already understood, you only need to cut off the top and clean the core of the vegetable. Then fill the container with water.

And you can make houses out of pumpkins. To do this, you just need to cut holes in the right places. Where exactly they are located, you can see in the picture below. Kids love these things!

8. Wreath on the door made of natural materials

We have already given above an example of wreaths of pumpkins and chestnuts. How to make them - you already know. Here we just give a selection of the most spectacular, in our opinion, ideas.

9. Frame of acorns for a photo or a mirror

Decorating any base in this way is very simple. We think no explanation is needed here.

The only thing we can advise is that you should not glue acorns on a glue gun or PVA. Much better if you use plasticine.

Because, most likely, you will soon get tired of such decor and have to throw it away. And so, you can always dismantle the acorns and get a regular photo frame back into use.

This is how it will look like.

There are whole acorns on the photo frame, and only hats on the mirror. Thus, you can create a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands and decorate any surface: caskets, bread boxes, and more.

10. Bunch of acorns

This autumn craft will look best if you paint the “berries” in natural colors, and instead of grape leaves add a maple herbarium of various colors.

Also, a bunch of acorns is a wonderful element of any autumn wreath on the door or a large topiary. After all, it can be made not only desktop, but also in human growth!

Only instead of a foam ball, you need to take some large, plastic one. Grapes from acorns are made very simply, we will now tell you exactly how.

What we need to work:

1. Acorns without caps
2. Shilo
3. Wire
3. Glue gun
4. Acrylic paint
5. Autumn leaves for decoration

Master class step by step:

1 step. We pierce holes in the base of the acorn with an awl.

2 step. We break or cut the wire into pieces 7-10 cm long.

3 step. Dip the ends of the wire in a drop of glue from the gun and insert into the punctured holes.

4 step. We paint acorns in any color you want. The main thing is that it is combined with leaves that will complement the composition.

5 step. We collect acorns in a bunch, forming a wire rod on top. Then we attach leaves to it.

Now you can make any decoration based on this fall craft. Panel, wreath and more.

11. Autumn crafts from felt

Working with this fabric is a pleasure! The material does not crumble, perfectly holds its shape. And this means that any beginner can make an autumn craft from felt with his own hands and it will turn out no worse than the products of experienced craftswomen.

We offer you a selection of the best and simple decors in autumn style, and you already choose any of them! They are so simple that they do not need to describe in detail their step-by-step technology.

As you can see, on the basis of felt leaves, you can make both a wreath and a garland, like the one we already made from salt dough. Here are a couple more options for do-it-yourself autumn wreaths.

All you need to do is draw patterns, cut out the felt and decorate it according to our photos.

12. Pigtail of garlic and red pepper

How cozy it is when bundles of garlic, onions, red peppers hang in the kitchen! But if you hang them fresh, they will very soon lose their appearance or simply run out, because they will go to food.

Let's do something like this, but for the ages! Now we will look at how garlic and pepper are made, from which we will form a pretty braid for the kitchen.

For work we need:

1. White nylon tights or plastic bag (for garlic base)
2. Cotton wool or synthetic winterizer (for filling)
3. White harsh thread (for dressing and forming lobules)
4. Glue gun
5. Buckwheat or twine (to simulate garlic roots)
6. Fabric for sewing peppers or salt dough for modeling it

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the body of garlic. To do this, we need to cut into squares or nylon tights or simple plastic bags. Garlic made of nylon looks, of course, more realistic.

But the package looks good too. But most importantly, this material is always at hand. So, cut out a square, about 7 by 7 cm in diameter.

2 step. We roll a ball out of cotton wool or synthetic winterizer, put it inside a flap of nylon and form a head of garlic. It looks like it is shown in the photo.

3 step. Then we begin to tie the head with a harsh thread, forming garlic cloves. First, divide in half, then into quarters, then into 8 parts.

Look at the photo, the process is clearly shown there.

4 step. In the place where the roots of real garlic are located, we drip a drop of glue and sprinkle this place with crushed buckwheat. If you want, you can replace it with twine, which needs to be unraveled and finely chopped.

5 step. We make a pigtail out of twine and attach the resulting garlic cloves to it.

6 step. Now it's time to do the pepper. You can sew it, but a pepper made from salt dough looks much better.

We have already given the recipe for kneading, in the subheading “Garlands of autumn leaves”. This is how the peppercorns should turn out in the end.

7 step. We make holes in the tails of the peppercorns (we will then thread the twine into them and with its help we will fix them on the pigtail with garlic). You can do this with an awl or any item at hand.

The main thing is to make them large enough so that you can thread the thread freely later. Otherwise, after drying, you will not be able to attach the finished product to the composition in any way.

And one more thing: if you make a hole, make sure that the edges of the legs remain more or less large. Otherwise, after you pull the thread, the thin walls may crack and the pepper will fall to the floor.

8 step. Dry in the oven, paint with acrylic paint, after drying, cover them with varnish. When the pepper shines, it looks more natural.

Dry at a low temperature, do not rush, because otherwise, your work may burst and you will have to sculpt everything again. Cracked peppers can no longer be painted the way you would like.

9. We fasten the pepper to the garlic and hang this autumn composition in the kitchen. You can make several of these links. You can make carrots from salt dough, and from brown tights you can make an onion bunch.

The principle of making bulbs is the same as garlic, only even simpler. Slices do not need to be formed.

Also, a bunch of mushrooms on the wall will look great, which you can also mold from dough and paint realistically.

This is the end of our long review. You saw many examples and any kind of autumn crafts with your own hands. We really hope that our master classes will be useful to you and you will definitely take something into service.

In kindergartens, with the onset of autumn, active work is underway - educators, together with children in the classroom, actively use natural material. After all, it does not need to be purchased - everything can be collected in the nearest park for a walk or even in your own garden.

Parents are also offered to show their imagination by making crafts “Gifts of Autumn” for kindergarten with their own hands, together with the child. Watching mom or dad create miracles from the most common vegetables or fruits, the baby will also want to take part in this. Such activities increase perseverance, develop imagination and simply cheer up the participants in the creative process.

Ideas for autumn crafts "Gifts of Autumn" in kindergarten

Every year in kindergarten, starting from the younger group, an exhibition-competition "Gifts of Autumn" is held. To participate, you only need a desire and a few materials at hand, which are often used as plant seeds, chestnuts, and cones:

The smallest participants in the autumn crafts competition “Gifts of Autumn”, which they will carry to kindergarten, can be offered light work. Putting an ordinary chestnut in front of the baby, you can invite him to dream up and imagine him in the form of an animal. With the help of plasticine, which is often used to fasten the details of crafts, it is easy to make a funny spider.

But crafts can be made not only from the chestnut kernel. For this purpose, its peel with needles is also suitable. They will make an excellent hedgehog, which can be decorated with rowan berries and a leaf.

The chestnut theme is inexhaustible. From ordinary fruits lying under your feet, you can create a whole zoo. And for this you only need to take toothpicks and bright plasticine.

And if you glue a piece of yellow felt on the reverse side of the chestnut, and an acorn to it, you get a very plausible fly mushroom.

The little beauty creator will love working with paints. With their help, you can paint acorns in bright colors and fill them with a transparent container - such an unusual work will undoubtedly attract attention.

It is easy to make men and animals from acorns collected in green with the help of toothpicks.

If you have walnuts, chestnuts, acorns and pieces of moss, you can invite your child to make a decorative wreath on the front door to the group - it looks unusual and elegant.

We should not forget about vegetables. With their help, amazing crafts are created in the garden for the "Gifts of Autumn" exhibition, and if you do them step by step, then even a child will not have any difficulty in the work. For example, an ordinary potato can be an excellent source material for various little men. Due to its round or oval shape, the master has already prepared a blank of the desired shape. It remains only to think of decorations.

On the plot, in addition to edible pumpkins, such types of pumpkins are grown that are specially designed by nature itself to create handicrafts. Some of them are very tiny and have a variety of bright colors. Using these gift of nature, you can create a fun pumpkin family.

With the help of plasticine and seeds, you get an excellent hedgehog. By planting it in a clearing of herbs and moss and decorating it with mushrooms from their acorns, we get a realistic mushroom clearing.

Round red-sided apples are always associated with a cheerful caterpillar. To make such a craft look original and not beaten, it should be supplemented with an unusual decor - beads, feathers and flowers.

Little kids will be delighted with the fact that you can make a beautiful swan out of a simple cone, a couple of leaves and a piece of plasticine.

The cones make funny animals like squirrels. If there are pieces of chenille (fluffy) wire in the house, then it can be used as legs and tail, and a cone will serve as the body.

In the area where walnuts grow, you should not throw away the shells from them, because this is an excellent natural material. Having painted them “under mushrooms” and planting them on wooden legs from twigs, we get a whole mushroom meadow.

And if you paint the nuts in different colors with gouache and place them in a basket of leaves, then it will become an original decoration.

Crafts "Gifts of Autumn" from natural materials are made by children of different ages for kindergarten and school. Figurines of various animals, cars, boats, boats and steam locomotives made of vegetables, original bouquets of dry leaves and spectacular compositions of ripe fruits and berries are demonstrated at traditional exhibitions and festivals of children's creativity, used to decorate classrooms and given as gifts to relatives, friends and acquaintances. In this review, we have collected for you interesting and simple master classes with photos, with the help of which you will learn how to create unusual crafts from the simplest and most affordable gifts of autumn.

Step-by-step instructions on how to make crafts "Gifts of Autumn" from vegetables for the exhibition

Remove wrinkled and torn leaves from the cabbage, and fasten the heads of cabbage together with bamboo sticks. This design is the body of the future figurine.
Wash the cucumbers, wipe dry with a paper towel and cut lengthwise into equal halves. On two of them, make three vertical grooves along the skin with a knife or a thick needle. Use toothpicks to attach the parts of the cucumbers to the lower base of the cabbage head. Now the hare has legs.
On the upper part of the second cabbage, which plays the role of the animal's head, cut out two wide indentations with a sharp object and insert the remaining two halves of the cucumber into them. This is the ears. To mask the place of the incisions, decorate the head with aster flowers, which are attached to the cabbage with toothpicks.
From half of the zucchini cut off two long skewers about 1 centimeter thick. Ahead, make one vertical incision on them and attach them to the body like paws with toothpicks.
On the front of the upper cabbage, make a deep incision in place of the mouth and put a piece of thick white paper into it. Draw eyes on the paper with felt-tip pens, carefully cut them out and glue them with Moment glue to the cabbage.
Cut cherry tomatoes in half. Fix one part with a toothpick in place of the spout, and place the second under the mouth.
Insert three toothpicks into the cabbage on each side. This is a mustache.
Tie a satin ribbon around the figurine's neck, insert a whole carrot with tops into the paws and voila! - the hare is ready.
