Natural material offers tremendous opportunities for creativity. For crafts, you can use anything: branches, driftwood, leaves, nut shells, shells. The composition will be prompted by the material itself. This type of creativity is available to people of any age.
It is necessary
- - a branch with leaves;
- - woody mushroom;
- - acorns;
- - walnuts;
- - Maple leaves:
- - spruce and pine cones;
- - PVA glue;
- - plasticine;
- - wood glue;
- - colored paper.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare natural material. Take a walk into the woods with a couple of plastic bags and a folder. Branches, driftwood, cones, acorns and tree mushrooms can be stacked together. A separate bag is needed for the moss, and it is better to spread the leaves and put them in a folder. You need to pick up some planks for the coasters. At home, put everything collected in a warm place and dry. Iron the leaves with a hot iron through writing or newsprint.
Step 2
Make an autumn bouquet. Find a beautiful branch with leaves for him - for example, a maple tree. Iron the leaves through the paper, as you would when harvesting natural material. Use a tree mushroom as a stand. See which side it is best to put it on so your bouquet can stand. Drill a hole on the opposite side, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the thickness of the branch (it should enter freely there). Lubricate the end of the branch with any wood glue and stick it into the "vase". The mushroom can be varnished.
Step 3
Your children will surely enjoy making boats from a nutshell. To do this, you need to properly chop the walnut. Examine a few nuts and pick one with at least a small hole where it was attached to the peduncle. Insert the knife in there and twist gently. Better to take a thin knife with a pointed end. Divide the nut into two halves, remove the contents and membranes. Make a mast stand out of a small piece of Styrofoam. Punch a through hole in it. Lubricate the underside with glue (for example, "Moment") and stick to the bottom of your boat. Find a straight stick of suitable length. This can be a twig or, for example, a piece of a washed ballpoint pen refill. Punch a hole in the foam stand along the diameter of the mast. Glue the stick there. A sail can be made from paper or a bright maple leaf.
Step 4
Spruce and pine cones are very suitable for making figurines of animals and birds. To make a goby, you will need a pine cone, 3 acorns and 5 matches. Pick 2 matching acorns and cut them in half lengthwise. Try to make the cuts as flat as possible. The core can be pulled out. Make holes in the convex sides of the acorns and glue the matches into them. This can be done with glue or plasticine that matches the color. Insert the free ends of the matches between the scales of the cones so that their legs turn out to be parallel and the same in length. They can also be fixed with plasticine and adjusted so that the bull stands. The third acorn should be larger, it will become the head. It can be replaced with a small bump. Make a hole in it and glue a match there too. It can be trimmed a little so that the neck does not turn out to be as long as the legs. Insert the other end between the scales. Give your neck the desired position. You can make a goby's eyes and mouth, stick ears and horns from plasticine.
Step 5
A bird can be made in the same way as a goby. In this case, a small bump is more suitable for the head. Connect the torso and head with a short stick. For the wings, maple seeds or any dry leaves will work. The tail can also be made from a leaf. It is better to put the bird on a stand. But you can make Christmas tree toys from cones and acorns. Colored paper is suitable for small details. And if you take bright self-adhesive laser-cut paper for the wings and tail, your homemade bird will sparkle and shimmer like a Firebird.
