The article presents a variety of paper accordion leaves, templates and step by step instructions creating a particular sheet. Such leaves can be in very different colors, for example, if they are dedicated to autumn events, it is better to use colored paper yellow, orange and red colors, for spring - good option There will be leaves of light green and green shades. Even for winter celebrations, you can make leaves from silver or white paper.

For work you will need the following materials:

• Colored paper of various colors suitable for leaves;
• Scissors, glue stick, simple pencil.

Paper accordion leaves step by step: 8 options with templates

Option 1. Accordion paper maple leaf

You will need yellow or green colored paper. Cut an arbitrary rectangle from it.

Fold it in half.

Draw or print the template for yourself. Cut it out and attach it to the colored paper folded in half, taking into account that the straight long side on the template falls on the fold.

Trace with a pencil. In the photo the fold is on the left. And in the future, all stages presented with paper folded in half will be folded on the left.

Cut out the workpiece, carefully cutting off all wavy lines.

Now open it. You should end up with a similar piece, with symmetrical edges.

At this stage, it's time to make a paper accordion. It is better to start from the bottom, widest side. Fold a small fold, no more than 7 mm wide, but extending over the entire area of ​​the sheet. Press carefully and then fold the same fold in the other direction. Repeat this process until all the paper has turned into an accordion.

For convenience, turn the accordion over with the long side up.

Find the middle and fold it in half. Press well, especially in the area of ​​the bottom fold, and glue the inside sides together. In the photo this area is shown with arrows.

Depending on the structure of the paper, sometimes it becomes necessary to glue the bottom two or three folds of the sheet. Most often they come apart in very thin paper. Dense holds all the folds together well without glue.

The accordion paper maple leaf is ready, straighten its folds and glue a thin stem.

Option 2. Autumn leaf made of accordion paper

Of course, it can be not only autumn. If you make it from green paper, the leaf will look like spring or summer.

To create it you also need a rectangular piece of paper.

As in the first option, the paper needs to be folded in half.

Then you should use a template or draw a simple zigzag line, reminiscent of one part of a Christmas tree.

This line should start from the fold of the paper and end at the bottom.

Cut out the drawing obtained using a template or your own efforts.

Open the sides.

Make small folds, length from one side to the other, and width of 5-7 mm. If the sheet is large or the children are small, the folds may be larger.

The accordion is made; for convenience, turn it wide side up.

Mark the middle and carefully fold it in half. Press down, especially at the very bottom.

Apply glue to one of the inner sides and glue them together. In the photo this area is shown with arrows. If necessary, glue a few folds at the very bottom of the leaf.

At the end, straighten the accordion sheet a little and glue the petiole, which is a thin strip of colored paper from which the sheet itself is made. But such a stem is not strong, it can only complement the leaf, and, for example, gluing leaves to a homemade tree will not work. It is better for these purposes to use colored cardboard, or colored paper, twisted into a flagellum and threaded through a hole in the bottom of the sheet.

Option 3. Oak sheet of accordion paper

The outline of this leaf is similar to that of an oak leaf, only the longitudinal folds slightly worsen this definition. But for variety, this version of the leaf will also come in handy, especially in those jobs or events where you need a lot of leaves of various shapes.

Cut out a square from paper.

Fold it in half, the fold is on my left.

Use a template or draw large waves yourself, starting from the fold side and reaching the bottom side.

Cut the part through two sides at once, but without touching the left one. She must be whole.

Open the paper.

And, as always, make thin folds, starting with the widest part of the paper. Carefully fold all the paper into an accordion, one fold in one direction, the next in the other. For convenience, the paper can be turned over during operation. As a last resort, draw light longitudinal lines with a simple pencil and then fold a leaf along them.

Place the resulting accordion with the longest side facing up.

Find the middle and fold the accordion in half. Glue the inside sides together.

Straighten the folds, glue the petiole and the accordion-shaped oak leaf is ready.

4 version of accordion paper sheet

This species looks like a hornbeam or beech leaf. And on the leaves of many other trees. The main thing is that it does not require any templates; it is extremely simple to make.

To make this oblong leaf, you need triangular shaped paper. You can first cut a square out of paper.

Fold in half, connecting opposite corners.

Cut in half and you get two triangles.

You will need one triangle per sheet. Turn it wide side down and start making folds there, like an accordion.

Turn the entire triangle into an accordion.

For convenience, turn it over with the longest side facing up.

Find the middle and fold exactly in half, bringing the ends together. In the middle, apply glue to one side and glue the side parts together.

Straighten it a little and glue the stem. The sheet is ready.

5 version of accordion paper sheet

The most common type, the shape resembles the leaves of poplar, linden, and birch. For variety, let it be green, although the leaf in the autumn, yellow-orange version is no less interesting.

It requires a not very wide paper rectangle.

Fold the rectangle in half, the fold in the photo on the left.

Use a template or draw a convex line yourself, the beginning of which is from the side of the fold, and the sloping slope reaches the underside of the sheet folded in half.

There are no exact proportions or markings here. If you want a more prominent narrow tip, the indentation on the line can be made more pronounced.

Cut out the design without touching the left side.

Open the paper.

Make an accordion, starting with the straight, longest side. As usual, the width of the folds is ideal in the region of 5-7 mm.

Turn the accordion over with the straight side facing up.

Fold in half and glue the inside sides together. If necessary, glue the bottom folds.

Spread the leaf and glue the stem.

Option 6. Another maple leaf made from accordion paper

There are quite a few varieties of maple leaves made from folded paper. It all depends on the template. There are very simple ones that can be drawn almost arbitrarily, and more complex patterns that it is still advisable to follow as accurately as possible. In the second case, the maple leaves are more perfect, closer to the original.

Despite the fact that I was the first to show one type of maple leaf, I still can’t resist and show you another one that I really liked.

For it you will need square colored paper.

This square then needs to be folded in half.

Print the template and carefully reproduce its lines on colored paper, taking into account that the fold is on the left.

Then everything is as usual. Unfold the paper piece.

Make narrow folds, starting from the straight, wide side and up to the very top.

Find the middle and fold the accordion-folded paper in half. Here you can see that this yellow paper is thinner than the previous ones; at the very bottom the folds are not held together. Therefore, they need to be forced to do this with glue. You can safely apply glue at the fold on the three lower folds. And, of course, glue the inner two sides together, where shown by the arrows.

Straighten the folds a little, glue the stem and the beautiful, accordion-style autumn maple leaf in this version is ready.

7 version of accordion leaves

Simple round shape sheet. There can be a variety of colors inherent in the leaves.

You will need a rectangular piece.

Fold it in half.

Using a compass or something suitable round, draw a rounded line connecting the sides of the paper. The fold is in the photo on the left.

Cut along the outline.

Open it up and you will have an even semicircle.

Make small folds, starting from the straight side of the semicircle and to the very top.

Turn the accordion piece over so the long, straight side is facing up.

Fold in half and glue the inside sides together.

Carefully straighten and glue the stem. The round sheet is ready.

Option 8. Thin oblong accordion leaves

The shape is inherent in the leaves of willow, olive and some others.

To make such a sheet, you need a rectangular, rather narrow strip of paper. The narrower it is, the thinner the leaf, although it is more difficult to make very thin ones.

Fold the strip in half.

Draw a slanting line. Please note that in the photo the fold of the paper is on the left.

Cut along the line to create a double triangle.

Reveal its parts.

Fold into a shallow fold. As you can see, it is problematic to make even folds on very narrow paper, but this will not appear on the sheet.

Turn the long side up and bend the accordion in half. Glue the middle.

You will get this narrow sheet of accordion paper.

Patterns of autumn leaves are used for various purposes - window dressing, holidays, matinees in schools and kindergartens, etc.

Using these templates, you can make leaves with your own hands from the most different types paper, and also use as a template for fabric appliqués.

If you need to make leaves from colored paper, it is better to use paper that is colored on both sides. But you can also take white paper and then color it with paints or pencils.

Take a closer look at the leaves of the trees - how they are colored, how the veins are located on the leaf. Everything that nature has created is perfect, and we can only try to get closer to this perfection.

STRIPED COLORING.

Coloring silhouettes using the CONTRAST STRIPS method looks very nice. That is, we take a regular coloring book with leaf templates and draw straight lines on top of the picture under a ruler. And then we paint all the objects on the sheet alternating these linear zones by color.

In the example below, we see that the coloring is drawn using a compass (round lines) - but these are not necessarily your lines, you can make them with a straight school ruler.

Here are suitable leaf templates that you can draw onto stripes (straight or arced stripes) and then paint in the same style. I alternate the pencils from strip to strip and use different colors for the background areas and different colors for the leaf areas.

Leaf patterns

for SECTOR COLORING.

Very beautiful crafts on the theme of autumn will be obtained if the template of the autumn leaf is divided into sectors and each sector is painted separately with similar shades of the palette or, on the contrary, with contrasting colors.

You get the feeling of STAINED GLASS... as if the picture was made up of multi-colored pieces of glass. But in fact, this is ordinary watercolor, or crayons, or a pencil (your choice).

As you can see, everything is simple. We take a sheet template and divide it into sectors. We paint each sector with its own color (it is possible with smooth transitions of spills of shades from one to another) And then we outline the entire outline of the sheet along the edges with a clear color.

To make your work easier, I provide leaf TEMPLATES with ALREADY READY sector sawing.

You can simply print out these pictures and give them to the children and ask them to color each sector with different colored crayons. To make coloring faster, you don’t have to change the chalk in your hand every time you move to a new sector. Show the children that it will be faster if you first take a red chalk and color 5-7 different sectors with it (not adjacent ones, but randomly). Then take a yellow chalk and also randomly fill in 5-7 other sectors. It will be faster this way, and you will fit within the time frame of the art activity class.

Large leaf templates can be filled in with a thin brush and watercolor or gouache (like the stencil below).

• formation and consolidation of cutting skills;
• developing the ability to work with a pencil and paint silhouettes;
• making applications using various techniques;
• performing voluminous crafts.

Adult craftsmen can use ready-made templates to make various creative crafts:

• postcards;
• photo frames;
• items for interior decoration;
• flat and volumetric compositions for photo zones and themed holidays;
• costume jewelry;
• fabric appliqués for decorating textiles;

How to get a template

You can draw a leaf template for cutting with your own hands, but in some types of leaves it is quite difficult to reproduce small details.

There are several ways to obtain an accurate leaf silhouette:

• One of the simplest and most fun ways is to trace the outline of a real leaf. To do this, during a walk you need to collect a collection of leaves various types and shapes.

Then they need to be straightened and dried. To do this, the collected material can be placed for a day between the pages of a thick book. The dried leaves are laid out on a white sheet of paper and carefully traced along the outline with a soft, simple pencil.

A leaf template for cutting out of paper can be obtained by tracing a real leaf on paper

Having removed the sample, all the lines are outlined again to obtain a clearer shape. From the resulting image you can make a template or stencil.

• If it is not possible to collect leaves on a walk, you can use ready-made leaf templates. This method is suitable for people who do not have access to printing equipment.

To obtain the template you will need a sheet of white office paper and a very soft pencil. The sheet image must be displayed on the computer or tablet screen by setting suitable size. The paper is applied to the monitor and the image is transferred to the sheet.

You can translate the flower pattern through glass, for example, on a window

Important! When tracing the outline, you must remember that if you press the pencil hard, the structure of the screen may be damaged. Therefore, the drawing is done with a light sketch, which is given clearer outlines on a hard surface.

• The leaflet template, which can be immediately used for cutting, is downloaded and printed on a printer. There are several options for working with electronic workpieces.

The contours printed on a white sheet are colored using paints and cut out with scissors. The leaves can be colored before printing using a special computer program. You can also print out color templates, adding small details to them using felt-tip pens.

Leaf templates can be printed on a printer

Handicraft lovers can choose from a variety of options for making templates suitable for the job.

How to make durable templates

The template for cutting out a piece of paper may need to be used several times. In order for such a blank to retain its shape for a long time, it should be made of durable material.

Just like making simple paper stencils, you can use various methods:

• The easiest way to make a durable template is to use a plastic corner folder to make it. Paper with images of leaves is placed in a folder, and the outlines are transferred to plastic using a marker.

The plastic sheet is laid out on a solid base (for example, wooden board) and use a stationery knife to cut out the templates. Using this technique, you can create not only templates, but also stencils for working with paint. They are easy to clean and adhere tightly to the work surface.

The most durable template for cutting out paper - a plastic corner folder

• To make a regular paper template more durable, you will need a special lamination film and an ordinary household iron. The device is set to the minimum heating level.

A paper sheet is placed between the layers of film and gently passed over the workpiece with an iron. The resulting part is cooled and the excess material is cut off, retreating 3-5 mm from the edge.

• Durable templates are made from cardboard and transparent adhesive tape. Paper templates Trace on thick paper or cardboard and cut out. Each side is covered with tape, tightly connecting the sides. Excess material is cut off at a distance of 1 mm from the base.
• The leaf template for cutting from fabric should be both durable and flexible at the same time. A part with such properties can be created from greenhouse film or textbook covers.

The most in a simple way Transferring the image of a sheet onto film is its overlay on the monitor screen. Using felt-tip pens, the leaf is outlined and cut out along the resulting line. This template is easily fixed to the fabric with pins and retains its shape for a long time.

Another strong and durable material for making templates is x-ray

Also, very durable templates are obtained from old x-rays. The process of making them is similar to working with plastic folders.

What can you do with stencils?

Stencils in the form of leaves are used in interior decoration, furniture, clothing, and confectionery.

Stencils in the interior

There are many techniques for using leaf stencils in the interior.

They can be used to create panels, decorate walls and furniture:

• The autumn tree is made in the form of a small panel or a stationary wall image. A large stencil in the form of a trunk with branches bent under a gust of wind is fixed on a white, level surface. Such a stencil can be made from greenhouse film with your own hands.

Using leaf templates, you can also decorate the wall of the room with a spring tree

After the base has completely dried, stencils of maple leaves are placed on the branches in random order. Using a sponge, the silhouettes are filled with red, yellow and orange paint. If desired, you can draw small details with a thin brush.

• A composite panel of fern leaves is made from thick sheets of paper or white cardboard, placed in wooden frames, onto which fern leaves of various configurations are applied using a stencil. A plastic stencil is placed on a white sheet and secured with paper clips.

Using a sponge or a brush with hard bristles, fill in the image green paint. The drawing is dried, covered with laminating film and inserted into a frame. A panel consisting of 5-7 pictures hung in random order looks beautiful.

• Usually glass and mirrors in the house are decorated with snowflakes for New Year's holidays, but with the help of stencils in the form of leaves you can create unusual autumn compositions. To complete them you will need moisture-resistant stencils, multi-colored gouache and a large hard brush. Using these materials you can depict falling leaves on the window and make a beautiful multi-colored frame on the mirror.

Every season is beautiful in its own way... Autumn is a time of colorful colors. Inspired by the arrival of the autumn sorceress, the guys and I decided to decorate our group with this kind of collective work.

This bright autumn tree gave us its smile and good mood!

The basis for our tree was a paper tree from a purchased design kit. You can also make a tree yourself: draw a trunk and crown without leaves on a piece of whatman paper, then cut it out along the contour.

For work we will need:

A sheet of white writing paper;

Paints (gouache or watercolor);

Brush;

Jar of water;

Maple leaf template;

Felt pen;

Colored pencils;

Scissors.

Sequence of work:

1. Crumble a sheet of white paper into a ball with your hands.

2. Soak in cold water.

3. Gently squeeze it out and straighten it.

4. Cover the wet sheet with another clean white sheet and place it under a press (thick book) to smooth it out. After drying, the sheet should look like this.

5. Take paints and randomly color the resulting white sheet in the colors of autumn: yellow, orange, red, light brown, yellow-green, etc.

After drying, we place the sheet under the press again to straighten it.

The sheet on the left is painted with watercolors, and the sheet on the right is painted with gouache.

6. Apply a maple leaf template to a dried multi-colored leaf and trace it with a felt-tip pen or pencil (the template can be made by tracing a regular maple leaf).
