Autumn crafts from natural materials - an easy to understand description of how to make their own hands

Whatever a person's favorite time of year, everyone unanimously agrees that autumn is not only the most fruitful, but also the richest time of the year for various colors.

Walks in the fresh air in the nearby park and woods will not only benefit your health, but also allow you to add to your home collection of improvised materials for original crafts.

Working with natural materials always attracts children. However, many adults are ready not only to help their child to make an interesting thing, but also with passion come up with original ideas.

Decorating the wall clock

If the first applique took quite a lot of time, then you can decorate a faceless wall clock in just a few minutes.

The entire perimeter of the clock is decorated with chestnuts, acorns or bean kernels, i.e. whatever is currently available at home.

The next step is to attach colorful leaves in the corners. You just need to make sure that neither the hour nor the minute hand touches the decorations.

You can instruct a child to make such an autumn crafts with their own hands.

No special additional materials (compared with the first version), except cardboard, pencils, a pair of dry twigs are not required.

The desired shape of the clock is cut out of cardboard. From the twigs are made hands, which are fixed in the center of the dial with plasticine. The numbers are drawn with a pencil or felt-tip pen.

The only difference between self-made and real clocks is that they will show the correct time only twice a day!

Mice

The most unpretentious, requiring no effort or time, or purchase any materials are applications. Funny autumn crafts, laced with humor can be decorated with:

• colorful leaves;
• beads or beads;
• heavy paper, scissors and glue.

On a piece of paper glued leaf green-brown - it will be the body of the future mouse. To one end of the leaf glue another, triangular in shape smaller. Preferably take a sheet of yellow - it will be the head of a cute little mouse. Two leaves, the smallest size will serve as ears.

Beads and beads are decorated with eyes animals. "Body" of the mouse is supplemented with a tail of grass, and the head "antennae" of the same material.

By assembling several figures in this way, you can decorate a whole litter of mice!

Chicken made of beans and seeds

For making a funny chicken, you will need:

• plasticine and scissors;
• Kidney beans and seeds;
• model of a chicken;
• corn kernels.

To begin work on the craft, you can remember the favorite children's fairy tale "Little Hen".

How to work

First, you should find an image of a beautiful laying hen on the Internet and print it out. Then:

1. The picture is cut out, put on cardboard.
2. Row after row of beans are glued to the picture. This can be done with glue or plasticine.
3. Two white circles of plasticine are attached to the head of the bird. In the center of the eyes we place black pupils.
4. Use red plasticine to decorate a scallop.
5. Corn seed will serve as a bird's beak.
6. Paws chicken "make" of black kernels.

To give a great resemblance to a fairy tale character, you can put an oval egg made of claymation near the laying hen. But what color - white or gold to choose a child!

Edible Caterpillar

The gifts of autumn allow you to make handicrafts, which, after a certain time, can be consumed in food. In this regard, the original idea would be to make a caterpillar out of apples.

For work you need a small-sized fruit, and it is better to take a variety of fruit "apples of paradise.

In addition to the 5-7 small fruits need plasticine and felt-tip pens.

Using plasticine apples stapled together to form the body of the insect. One fruit is placed over the body playing the role of the head of the caterpillar. Eyes, mouth and nose are drawn with felt-tip pen. "Horns" and "legs" of the insect are decorated with clay.

The second version

The caterpillar can be fully made of pliable material. Modelled small balls (preferably of different colors) and connected to each other in the body of the insect.

Eyes and horns are made on one of the balls. To the latter you can attach a small piece of white plasticine - as if the tail of the caterpillar.

"Piggy" out of potatoes
