Autumn crafts made of natural material: photo

• a hat from a large acorn (as large as possible);


• pine cone;


• a white ball of felt or just a little white yarn;


• orange yarn;


• two dense, unsealed small leaves (eg poplar or alder);


• strong thread;


• glue.

A ball of white felt will be a fairy's head. If you have chosen for this yarn, then roll and tie it in a small ball. Top on the glue put a bunch of orange yarn - hair. Drip some more glue into the acorn cap and put it on the head of the future fairy, like a hat.

Lubricate the top of the cone with glue, then the place where itfastened to a branch, and glue a head on it. Now there are only wings left - make them from two sheets. The fairy is ready! You can put it on a table or shelf, and you can hang it on a string, tied it around the bump, like an ornament.

Autumn crafts: a hedgehog made of cones and needles

For this prickly hedgehog you will need:

• a small pine cone with open scales;


• plasticine (preferably brown or dark tones);


• many pine long needles;


• scales of cones or black pepper-peas (for nose and eyes).

Put the bump on the side. Stick a lot of bunches of needles, having fastened 4-5 pieces on the end with a piece of plasticine. Ideally, they should be the same as the scales of the cones. Then gently stick each bundle under one scales - the hedgehog bristles with needles. Vlepiti muzzle from plasticine (slightly bent up cone), sticking it to the top of the cone.

Press in the plasticine peas of pepper - eyes andnose. Add 4 "legs" of plasticine - do not give them a special shape, these pieces of plasticine are needed sooner so that the toy does not fall and do not slip. The hedgehog is ready. If it seems to you that the needles are too long or that they are of different lengths, just cut them.

And still no less cute hedgehog can be done,taking an entire plasticine body and using pumpkin seeds instead of needles; as well as just take a bump with a very open, "standing up" scales. Disclosed, seedless flakes in general very well imitate the fluffy animal hair or feathers of birds.

For example, to make a penguin cone, you needjust put it vertically, so that the scales open downward, attach the head and wings of black plasticine and paint the cone entirely in white (rectangle from top to bottom, just under the head, it will be the breast) and black (all the rest of the body).

For the head can be used as a base for plasticinetake the hat from the acorn (if the clay cone does not hold well). For wings, you can also take not plasticine, and walnut shells or maple seeds - the main thing, do not forget to paint them.

Dragonfly from the seeds of maple

Very simple, but a spectacular piece of art. Take:

• 4 seeds of maple (better connected in pairs, and one of the pairs is slightly smaller in size than the other);


• a short thin stick;


• acrylic paint of any color (especially brilliant shiny colors - metallic, gold);


• piece of plasticine.

Stick to the edge of plasticine sticks,having formed from him two convex eyes, attached, in fact, only on a stick - this will be the head of a dragonfly. From above, attach clay seeds to the clay, one below the others, so that the pair that was larger is closer to the "head". These are two pairs of wings. Now paint the entire dragonfly in the color that you want.
