Autumn crafts and applications for home, kindergarten and school: original DIY crafts made from natural materials on an autumn theme. DIY "Autumn" craft

Good afternoon, we continue to talk about autumn crafts. And today I have prepared a new batch of ideas for crafts on the theme of autumn. Here you will find the most beautiful works, suitable for children in kindergarten, as well as more serious art objects worthy of the hand of a master. The most various crafts on autumn theme you will find in our other articles - And at the end of the article I will also give you a list of links to other children's crafts for this fall.

Well, let's get started, let's see how beautiful and simple crafts I prepared it for you today.

Paper crafts

On the theme of autumn

Using the quilling technique.

Autumn means beautiful golden leaves. From narrow strips of paper you can transfer openwork beauty autumn leaves. In the photo below we see simple openwork twists using the quilling technique. For such airy leaves you don’t need a lot of paper. And such work is quite easy to do for school-aged children.

Children younger age can fold simple leaves - where each element of the leaf is ONE single large quilling twist.

And more complex leaf crafts on the theme of autumn are made in several stages. First, we draw the outline of a maple leaf on a piece of paper. Then we fill this silhouette with twist modules - starting from the center and gradually moving to the edges of the silhouette. After the entire interior of the sheet has been collected, all that remains is to paste one continuous strip of paper along the entire contour edge of the craft.

Or you can start making crafts with veins(as in the left photo below). First, stretch the veins from strips of paper - following the drawn contours of the veins on the paper - stick a pin into the end of the drawn vein, stretch a strip of paper, wrap it around the pin and glue the second half of the strip to the first half. After all the veins have been collected and secured with pins, we begin to lay out the twisted paper modules.

There are different quilling techniques for creating patterned twist modules. By alternating different patterns and shades of color, you can create real masterpieces-crafts on the theme of autumn (like these oak leaves with acorns in the picture below).

Quilling modules can be stacked in autumn painting-panel(as in the photo below). I explained in detail how to make such shaggy flowers and showed them in photographs in a special article.

Birds, rowan branches, squirrels, and hedgehogs may appear on quilling paintings and crafts on the theme of autumn. Everything that has to do with the autumn forest.

If you are just starting your first steps in the quilling technique, then it is better and easier to make an autumn theme Rowan craft.

This craft has simple berries - round twists. And simple leaves - twists in the shape of an eye (that is, the same circle-twist was first loosened and untwisted, and then squeezed with fingers on both sides, giving the shape of an eye).

Children of primary school age They already have dexterous and strong fingers enough to twist and flatten quilling modules themselves. Therefore, they will also be able to do simple crafts on the theme of autumn using the quilling technique.

For example, it’s easy to make a hedgehog like this and a round, relaxed, bull’s-eye cord.

There are many more ideas and ways to make an autumn hedgehog craft both using the quilling technique and from natural materials and from paper you will find in our article.

And when the child gets the hang of it, you can give him tasks-crafts with already LARGE quantities quilling modules (as in the photo with autumn crafts below).

To make such children's crafts, it is better to use stencils. Many quilling stencils on the theme of autumn can be found on the Internet. I plan to write a separate article on autumn quilling and in it I will publish ready-made full-size stencils. In the meantime, for starters, here’s an idea for an autumn tree made from rolled paper.

Autumn themed crafts

Made from corrugated paper.

Thin crepe paper (crumpled or corrugated) is suitable for very beautiful autumn-themed crafts for children. You can make a craft tree from a roll toilet paper. Or an autumn flower craft on an ice cream stick leg.

The most important thing is to learn how to make multi-layered lush pom-pom flowers. In the article “” I give detailed explanations of how to make such lush flowers quickly and easily with children’s hands in kindergarten.

And here they post this sketchy photo instruction. And I give step by step description your actions.

Step 1– place colored sheets of paper on top of each other (crepe paper or colored table paper napkins)

Step 2– we fold this stack of colored bougie layers in the form of a regular accordion (as when making a paper fan)

Step 3– make a rounding at both ends of the folded fan with scissors (this is so that the edges of the flowers are oval)

Step 4– we pull the middle of the fan with wire or rope and tie it in a knot.

Step 5– we move the blades of our fan apart from both ends and in both directions – and we move the colored paper layers apart, peeling them apart from each other. We get a lush rainbow cloud.

And now we either partially insert this cloud into a tree trunk (a toilet paper roll) or attach it to the stem of a flower (an ice cream stick or a long skewer). And in the end we get a wood craft. Or craft an autumn flower.

Craft for autumn.

Newspaper wreath.

An ordinary newspaper can be a beautiful autumn gift or a craft for a school competition on the theme of autumn.

Newspaper sheets We paint with gouache in different autumn colors. Next, we fold each sheet in half several times and trace the silhouette of the blank for the future petal on it. The silhouette can be in the shape of a triangle (or a heart). We cut out such colored silhouettes. And now we twist each of them so that the point of the triangle (or heart) looks up.

We roll thin newspapers tube-bundles. From them we twist the body-base for the wreath. We fix it with wire or rope.

Autumn themed crafts

From ordinary cones.

Pine cones are a very versatile craft material. You can use them to make animals and birds and many other autumn-themed crafts for children. I have a separate article Crafts from pine cones and there is a whole menagerie on this topic. And in this article I want to show the other side of the bump. Her beautiful inner world.

Namely the world of cones in cross-section.

If you cut the pine cone in half with a knife. Then we see a flat center with scales similar to petals of a wooden flower. You can use tongs to pull out the excess petal scales. Or, on the contrary, glue it with glue and add petal scales to this cut of the cone.

And then decorate everything with gouache. Draw the colored edges of the petals, draw the middle, and even draw the fluffy stamens with thin brush strokes (as in the photo below). It turns out beautiful flowers from cones.

Children really like crafts for painting pine cones. You can make entire wall panels from flowerbed cones on the theme of autumn.

But below we see blanks for a cool craft - AUTUMN FLOWDER BED. Do you see the orange flowers that look so much like marigolds? Here, in the middle of a cut from a large cone, a small cone with lush open scales is inserted. Everything is beautiful in yellow. We paint the edges of the scales red. And it turns out to be the spitting image of a marigold flower. You can put together a realistic bouquet. Open the Internet and see what shape and coloring they have, and use gouache to repeat the same shades, stamens, stripes, specks - and you will get an autumn flower bed that looks like a real one.

This is a very chic craft that is quite simple to make. With such a flower bed you will win any school craft competition on the theme of autumn. Rest assured. Moreover, I will now reveal to you three little secrets How to achieve perfection in this craft...

Little secret. How to beautifully reveal the scales of a cone. Soak the pine cones in hot water. They closed themselves off from the water. Remove from the water and place on a baking sheet in the oven. We fry them at a low temperature and they open up beautifully - spread out evenly in all directions.

And another little trick. To make your flowerbed of cones smell fragrant, you can use aromatic oils (sold at the pharmacy). We put the opened cones, even before coating them with gouache, in a tight cellophane bag - drop a few drops of aromatic oil into it - you can mix it, drop a drop of different things (it won’t spoil it). Close the bag tightly and shake so that the droplets are distributed throughout the bag. And let the cone lie there for a day and soak it properly.

And one more small nuance. How to make your flowerbed sparkle. After you have applied the main color and drawings, strokes, specks, etc. with gouache. You need to spray hairspray on top. This will fix the paint, it will not stain your hands, and the color itself will become two tones richer and brighter.

The middle of each cone flower can be decorated with a round acorn cap - also painted with colored gouache (as in the photo below). From such chic flower cones you can make entire wreaths-crafts on the theme of autumn.

You can not decorate the decorated cones in the form of flowers, but simply stick them on a cardboard donut ring cut from a large pizza box.

Autumn themed crafts

Made from natural material

Using mosaic technique.

All children love bulk cereal applications. And that's good. Because it's useful. Autumn mosaic applications made from cereals and seeds greatly calm the psyche and develop fine motor skills.

You can add curly pasta to the cereals. We attach the material to plasticine or glue from a hot gun.

Young children can be given simple mozika crafts on the theme of autumn. For example, here’s a craft in form of an autumn tree all the kids really like it junior group kindergarten.

We paint in advance watermelon seeds(or pumpkin seeds) in different gouache colors. And children use PVA glue to lay out entire panels of these colored seeds.

And it’s even faster to make mosaic material on the theme of autumn from colored maple leaves. We simply cut them into cubes and pour them into bowls. Children choose the elements themselves and stick them on the crown of the drawn tree.

Here's more simple ideas crafts on the theme of autumn for children in school and kindergarten. An autumn leaf is divided into sectors and each sector can be filled with a material of different texture. If there are no seeds or cereals, each sector can be filled with chopped mosaics and maple leaves, but of different colors - a sector of yellow, a sector of green, burgundy, orange, red, etc.

And hedgehog crafts made from natural materials, beloved by all children. The spines of the hedgehog can be made from watermelon seeds and their winged maple seeds. And the apple on the side of the hedgehog can be made from a walnut shell.

A craft on an autumn theme may have an unattractive color, but the different textures of the bulk mosaic material will make it chic. The combination of rice, buckwheat and barley will give us a beautiful boletus mushroom.

Light oatmeal and maple seeds will help you make a wonderful squirrel with your own hands.

And here is my favorite combination of a mosaic of dry leaves and acorn caps.

You can make this beautiful craft with your own hands on the theme of autumn - a silhouette of a squirrel from acorn caps. We print the silhouette on the printer. Cover it with black gouache. And use a hot glue gun to attach the acorn caps. Beautiful craft as a gift to friends and family.

MOSAIC techniques

for crafts for autumn.

Mosaic of lumps . The lumps may be paper (crumpled balls of crepe or corrugated paper).

Or the lumps can be made of colored plasticine (as in the photo of the craft below).

Mosaic for adult art crafts on the theme of autumn may consist of more expensive material - buttons and beads. Autumn is rich in ideas for crafts made from buttons. These can be trees, pumpkins, and a red fox like autumn - the queen of the autumn forest.

But the child also loves to work with buttons. You can glue the buttons using a glue gun or plasticine. You can lay out a long sticky path with your own hand using a glue gun, and your child can quickly fill it with bright buttons and sequins (as in the photo of the autumn craft below)

Autumn mosaic made of paper. This is a children's craft. When a sheet of colored paper is cut into squares. Each color is poured into separate bowls and the child begins to post a picture. It looks beautiful when everything is laid out on a black background, that is, black cardboard will do.

How smaller child the simpler the mosaic task should be for him. The outlines of the future drawing should be drawn in advance on the background and serve as guides for the child as to the boundaries of the layout of the elements.

You can cut mosaic material different sizes . In order to fill each sector of the painting with a different texture - small or large, cubic or triangular.

Can be cut from thick cardboard uneven pieces of the future mosaic. First, cut the cardboard into jagged strips with curved edges. And then cut these long strips into short pieces, also very diagonally and unevenly moving with scissors.

Assemble a craft from such crooked cardboard elements. And then cover up the cracks. Apply PVA glue to the gaps between the cardboard and fill these places with fine sifted river sand or sifted barley grits. Dry and top coat with hairspray so that everything shines with gloss. The result will be the effect of a real ceramic mosaic. An excellent, quite simple and chic craft on the theme of autumn. Suitable for both children and parents - everyone will find their own portion of work in both cutting and display.

This is not the first article on the topic of autumn that we talk about the technique of imprinting maple leaves. Because a properly made print is very beautiful. Children really enjoy these art activities where they can make stamps and prints.

from leaves and paints.

Leaves can be painted with paints. And they will have new craft opportunities. The painted leaf takes on a new creative life. Here's how it happens.

We took a long willow leaf and covered it with a pattern. We look at it and understand that it resembles the long feather of a marvelous bird.

Then we draw a new leaf feather and another, each time changing the pattern. Then we lay out the feather leaves on the table and now we see the silhouette of the future craft. A beautiful firebird.

It is not easy for children to draw neat patterns with a thin brush. And don't. Let the children's decorated leaves be brightly spotted, not necessarily with an even, symmetrical pattern. All the same, these works will be beautiful.

This craft requires working with a sharp paper knife or blade, so children should not try it on their own. Let an adult cut out the inner parts of the sheet. The easy-to-follow tutorial below will show you all the steps. They are simple and clear.

We cut out a long strip of cardboard and fold it into 4 pieces, plus there should be a small overlap on one side for gluing. In one of the halves of the sides we cut a hole in the form of a sheet with a knife. Glue parchment on the inside. Glue the flaps together to form a hollow cube. And inside we put a glass jar with a candle with a tablet at the bottom.

By the same principle you can do candle holders made of thick packaging paper and rolled into a tube. We cut out the silhouette of a maple leaf on it, and glue transparent parchment paper painted with watercolors in a delicate color onto the back side. We roll this two-layer sheet into a roll and fasten it with a stapler. We place a candle or a garland of LEDs inside.

And here are some more jars-candlesticks, The simplest crafts on the theme of autumn. The jars are coated with gouache blots, or pasted over with pieces of colored napkins and onto this blotted background we paste the silhouette of a tree trunk with branches. And you're done.

And we braid this frame with thin wire, stringing rows of beads onto it as we weave.

Sharing with your finds. All or almost all of us have to do crafts with children for kindergarten or school... You will also find fantasies here for home creativity with kids.

Let's start with the trees...

And now - pumpkins...

You don't have to do everything for a specific master class... And strictly adhere to the proposed topic. Can just take a craft idea and remake it in your own way.

Fantasies about candles...

To the hedgehogs I have a special weakness, so to speak. Once my family and I were picking mushrooms (I was still little)… We thought that there was a big milk mushroom under the tubercle. It turned out that We woke up the hedgehog. And you can’t really put him back (as it should be) - he’s so sleepy... And I had to take him to my home - he spent the winter in a mailbox (yes, my childhood was in the 80s) under a pile of paper (and all this time slept)... And then he went into the forest in the spring... Khalesy was like that...

Accessories of the “Queen of Autumn”…

Papier-mâché... And not only...

Well I didn’t put the owls first again. They are always the first and most important for us...

There are, in addition to owls, other living creatures

And again - improvised material. Not only the one found in the forest... But also the “home” one... For example, pistachio shells...

AND door (wall) wreaths... not only good at New Year and Christmas... In the fall they especially cozy and bright it turns out...

And again pumpkins... Some people have a lot of them in their dachas! I’m not a dacha lover (no, no): my mother just hands me buckets of vegetables. But my godmother gave me a pumpkin last year. Ahhhh... Maybe I'm Cinderella?

Let's move on to crafts made from leaves and houses...

If you don't understand how cover with leaves or dough bowl from below, to get such beauty, watch the master classes...

Many people make baskets now. A very popular craft. On topic "Gifts of Autumn"... Well, the baskets really turn out very colorful and juicy...

And again leaves... And again owls... And a lot of art...

In our kindergarten, Alice’s group is very talented, kind and hardworking teachers- Olga Grigorievna and Anna Sergeevna. They love children. And they adore them make all sorts of things V educational process...Or draw...

Us crafts for children in kindergarten teachers left on a large panel- attached to paper clips that hang on fishing lines... Now I’ll find a post in a magazine when we made such a panel (with owls, of course) for crafts...

It’s such a shame to throw away homemade crafts. Of course, for some time they will please the eye... Some drawings will go into the family archive... But still you won’t keep them in a row... Therefore take photos of your creations. At least collect a photo collection as a souvenir... Only if you take pictures on your mobile phone, Don’t forget to “merge” the photo onto your computer. There are often notices around the city - “I lost my phone, return it: there are ALL THE PICTURES of my child!!!”

Some parents ignore creative activities... They say that paints are a lot of dirt and stains - you can only get by with pencils or felt-tip pens... And all that comes out is a mess... And the child, they say, doesn’t understand the plasticine - he rejects it... Start small- just give the child the materials. A couple of lessons... Then again... And then start gradually advise and help... To encourage creativity, to create... I also don’t really like dolls and LEGOs covered with plasticine... But accuracy, diligence and imagination... they won’t come from anywhere from a child if you don’t work. Daily.


Of course, there is always not enough time. Of course, there is a lot of work and household chores. But the child is delighted that his autumn work is also on display in a kindergarten or school. This - a source of pride yourself and your family...

Maybe this year... Maybe next... Your work will be recognized as the best at the exhibition. Even a prize. It will be a wonderful day. In the meantime, let family evenings be warmed by autumn candles, and photo frames decorated with leaves or acorns adorn the shelves...

By the way, my friend and I once made of papier-mâché just made giant mushrooms... All the children made them as tall as a palm... And here we have... Giants. Mutants...)))

Who hasn't read mine yet? 100 ideas for autumn, be sure to read. And apply - partially...

We a lot of things have already been used and done with Alisa and Shura- I’ll tell you in other posts...

And I’ll show you not today or tomorrow... autumn video...And pictures. According to last fall. Ours is so beautiful There was a family shoot. It’s just so complicated for a video combination of video and photo...So I'm waiting for Shura will finish installation. For now he has a lot of work to do.

You can do without drying, especially if children will be working with the leaves - it is easier for them to handle durable and elastic material. It is enough to add eyes to the leaves and they transform into animals.

You can make a charming forest hedgehog from salt dough and fir cones. To make it you will need fir cone, which is then disassembled into individual flakes. These scales decorate the hedgehog's body. The body itself is molded from salted dough.

If you want to make a large hedgehog, then you can use a plastic bottle as a base. Upper part We color the bottles with a black marker - this is the future face of the hedgehog. Glue the fabric to the bottle, leaving the painted part free. We glue the cones onto the fabric, trying to position them as closely as possible to each other.

When the entire surface with the fabric is covered with cones, all that remains is to glue paper eyes and ears to the hedgehog. We attach apples, nuts, mountain ash and twigs to the back of the hedgehog. Autumn hedgehog made from cones - ready!

We also use plasticine to glue the legs and horns from twigs and the head from an acorn.

The neck of a deer can be made from a stick.

Foamiran is a type of foam rubber. This material is durable and pliable, and can be very bright and colorful. Many needlewomen and teachers have already fallen in love with it. We decided to make an autumn bouquet from foamiran. We cut out autumn leaves: birch, maple and oak. We paint them with paints, trying to emphasize the pattern of veins and edges.

To make veins, we heat the sheet with an iron and firmly press down the twig - we will be left with a characteristic pattern.

We make from plastic bottle and branches autumn vase. We attach the branches using double-sided adhesive tape.

Place the leaves in a vase. We complement the bouquet with natural materials: dry twigs and cones. An autumn bouquet made from foamiran is a small piece of art that will decorate a group or classroom for years to come!

This application is a little more complicated than the previous one. The child crumples the paper for the leaves and rolls the brown paper for the trunk and branches of the tree.

A very bright and beautiful applique is made from colored paper and a real branch. The difference in the execution technique is that in this applique, not pieces of colored paper are glued, but tightly twisted balls.

Autumn drawings for kindergarten

An original master class can be given to children, teaching them how to put stamps using... an ordinary apple. To do this, prepare sheets in advance with the outlines of tree trunks printed on them.

Invite the children to paint the trunk and wide branches with paints. While the paints are drying, make stamps: to do this, you need to cut a small apple into two even halves. Then we put red paint on one half and yellow paint on the other, and put prints around the barrel. It turns out to be a real autumn apple tree.

Wax crayons can be used to draw spectacular autumn leaves. Place the piece of paper on a regular landscape sheet. We color the junctions of the paper and album sheets.

We remove our paper sheet. We will be left with the outline of the sheet on the paper. We use leaves of different shapes and paint them in bright autumn colors. We will get a very unusual drawing “Autumn leaf fall”

One of the famous painting techniques is painting with autumn leaves.

The leaves are dipped in paint, then pressed against a sheet of paper - a beautiful imprint remains.
