Good afternoon everyone. “So autumn has come, our garden has turned yellow, the leaves on the birch tree are burning golden”... Reading it becomes a little sad, although the fact is undeniable that at this time of year nature becomes truly magical and indescribably beautiful. It is also autumn that gives us a generous harvest of vegetables and fruits, berries and mushrooms.

And it’s great if you have the opportunity to go out into nature at this time to walk through the autumn forest and breathe in the fresh and already cold air. And if you also have children, then turn your walk into a treasure hunt: collect bright and carved leaves, acorns and chestnuts, interestingly shaped cones and pebbles, and other natural materials. And then, when you come home, save all this natural beauty in crafts.

So I slowly but surely brought you to our topic. In this article we will create again, and again on an autumn theme.

Today for you I have collected all the new homemade ones, from zucchini, from acorns and cones, as well as from other things. So hang in there, there will be plenty of ideas for inspiration and creativity!

If you're ready, then it's time to start viewing original and new works. Look what composition I found. It depicts a fragment from the cartoon “Masha and the Bear”. Notice how many different materials are collected in one craft. There are painted cones, pebbles, leaves, and even beans. The house can be built a little simpler. We have already discussed options for their manufacture in previous articles.

This is a very simple job for which you will need moss, squash, twigs and leaves. Toys from Kinder Surprise are used as inhabitants of a forest clearing.

Here is an excellent decoration made from roses, but not real ones, but from yellowed leaves. Rowan berries, small cones and other attributes complement the entire composition.

The easiest products are probably those that can be created from ordinary paper and plasticine. These materials are available in every home where children live. And there are plenty of options for making works on autumn themes. Let's take a quick look at some ideas of creation.

A popular and widespread technique is appliqué. You can make a whole picture in this style, and don’t forget about origami to get a voluminous work.

You can make autumn crafts with children from natural materials from anything - leaves, cones, acorns, chestnuts. These could be appliqués or some interesting figures. I present unique step-by-step master classes on how to make autumn crafts with your own hands using photos.

DIY autumn wreath of acorns “Breath of Autumn”

Bright autumn colors linger in your soul for a long time. Let's create an autumn wreath of acorns with our own hands to prolong the autumn mood. Made from natural materials, it will look even more interesting.

DIY autumn wreath of acorns

A handmade autumn wreath of acorns will become an original and stylish decoration for any interior.

Autumn craft with leaves “Pear on a plate”

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 offer you an 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.

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 several 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 a beautiful bouquet of flowers 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 not only become an original decoration for 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 are happy to participate in the creative process and make 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. Read a detailed master class on how to make one 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.

Autumn motifs in the home interior

Seasonal flowers and herbs, autumn colorful leaves will be the best decoration for your home.

How to make a toy Autumn goddess from fabric

Doing something with your own hands is so fun and interesting. Well, if it also turns out beautifully, then such toys simply have no price. You come to an exhibition of handmade products and your eyes just widen. Let's try to reveal some of the secrets of the masters and consider the method of making the goddess of Autumn, which you can give to children or hang on the wall in your home.

So, we will need: acrylic paints for fabric (with gold and silver jars), a set of brushes, 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 the drawing of the 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

Acorns, birch bark, physalis, hawthorn berries, and small decorative pumpkins will help you decorate candles in an autumn style. 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, pine cones and berries, then an original candlestick for your home is ready.

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 with 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 require additional processing, you can stitch them onto the pillowcase using a regular seam - this will give volume and help create a planned composition.

Frame of acorns

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 motifs in table setting. 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 a 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!
