Autumn spoils us with its delights: fruits and vegetables. We feast on it and throw away everything that remains, but some things, like seeds, don’t need to be thrown away. See how you can use them.

It is better to make panels on a dark background if you are using light seeds and vice versa. I have a piece of cardboard painted with black acrylic paint.

Let's draw the inner contour of our panel and begin to lay out a pattern that suits our design. I chose a spikelet: after all, autumn fantasies.

Now we have laid out the inner frame and are starting to lay out the flowers in the upper part of the panel.

We take pumpkin seeds and use them to make the outer layer of daffodil petals.

Then we make the inner part of the flower from the melon seeds, do not skimp on the glue, and put a few seeds of sea buckthorn or another plant inside.

This is what a bouquet of daffodils and buds will look like.

To them we will add small flowers from sweet pepper seeds.

We will make a vase from small pasta - shells, but you can show your imagination and make it from birch bark or pistachio shells.

Let's make an outer frame from the same melon seeds and add flower stems and leaves to the bouquet, as well as a butterfly. The result was such a natural picture of flowers, but there is no limit to perfection and I decided to paint the work to give it brightness.

This is what our pasta stems and leaves look like, but you can also use blades of herbs. I painted the daffodil leaves with white paint and yellow inside. I also wanted to make the small flowers white.

This is how the panel turned out after painting, and you can compare them and make the one you like best.

Seeds

Seed- a special multicellular structure of complex structure that serves for the reproduction and dispersal of seed plants. The outside of the seed is covered with a seed coat, which protects the internal parts of the seed from drying out and mechanical damage.

The smallest seeds weigh 0.001-0.003 mg, and the Seychelles palm seeds reach their maximum size, weighing about 20 kg.

Many organisms (from fungi and bacteria to birds and mammals) feed largely, and sometimes exclusively, on seeds. Seeds form the basis of the diet of such animals. like some insects and their larvae (for example, harvester ants), granivorous birds, rodents (chipmunks, squirrels, hamsters, etc.).

The basis of the human diet since the advent of agriculture in most regions of the world has also been seeds, primarily the seeds of cultivated cereals (wheat, rice, corn, etc.). Seeds are also a major source vegetable oils, which are extracted from sunflower seeds, rapeseed, corn, flax and many other oilseeds.

Seeds- a wonderful material for creating decorative items, since they are a very accessible natural material, there are usually a lot of them, and the seeds also have a very diverse shape and texture. This means that you can make many different crafts from them.

A colored sheet of paper is glued onto the cardboard, on which you need to draw the outlines of the pumpkin and its fragments. Pea halves are glued onto them, sesame seeds are placed between these slices, and a dry leaf of wood is placed on top.

Children can also make chickens, so funny and beautiful, from legumes. Give them a template of these baby chickens. Let them circle it and sketch out the noses and paws with a yellow pencil. Dry peas need to be glued onto the surface of one chicken. Create another one from beans. For the third, corn is suitable.

How to make topiary from peas?

Legume seeds will also help you make it. To make a tree count, you need to take:

• a package of green peas (polished and split);
• foam ball;
• packaging of dry moss;
• 1 medium sized clay pot;
• hot glue;
• PVA glue;
• brush;
• for the trunk - a skewer, a wooden stick or a simple pencil;
• pot paint;
• green acrylic paint;
• floral foam or alabaster or cement;
• polystyrene foam

First you need to paint the pot and trunk in the desired colors, if required. But the ball must be decorated with green paint. This can be done in two ways: cover half the ball when dry, paint the other side, wait until it dries. And only then cut a hole in it and insert the barrel. Or do it earlier, securing the barrel, and then paint the entire ball at once.

When it's dry, decorate it with peas. Here's how to continue making topiary. Apply PVA glue to a small area of ​​the ball with a brush, then generously cover it with peas.

Once the beans are attached, decorate the next piece of foam base. Thus, close the ball completely and put it away to dry until the morning.

When this happens, inspect the work; if there are small uncovered areas, sprinkle them with cereal.

It's time to secure the crown. To do this, drop some glue from a “hot gun” into the hole in the ball and insert the barrel here.

For better fixation, it is advisable to additionally secure the barrel with pieces of paper and carefully glue them, pouring more glue here. If you leave the paper out, the hot glue may melt the foam, making the hole too deep.

Now place the trunk in the pot, secure this stick with alabaster, cement or floral foam.

After these solutions have dried, you need to put moss on the surface, glue it, and decorate it with sisal, peas, and cereals.

Applications and panels from cereals

Crafts made from peas and beans are not only various topiaries, but also wonderful paintings.

To create one, you first need to draw a cat's face on cardboard. Then fill the areas with legumes of a certain color. Crafts made from cereals are also impressive.

For this one, take:

• cardboard;
• pencil;
• buckwheat;
• semolina;
• gouache;
• PVA glue.

First you need to draw a moose by hand or using a template. Then PVA glue is applied to its horns and buckwheat is placed here. After this, his hooves are decorated in the same way. The muzzle is created from millet, and the body is made from semolina, which can be pre-mixed with brown gouache.

To make such a wreath, take:

• green peas;
• “hot gun” or PVA glue;
• straw wreaths - 2 pcs.;
• baking tray;
• brush;
• leg-split.

If you don't have straw wreaths, then use a foam piece of this shape, but it needs to be covered with green acrylic paint.

Place the peas on a baking sheet or tray. After coating the inside of the wreath with glue, sprinkle it with peas.

Then, coating small areas with glue, roll the wreath over the peas to attach these small particles. Once the glue is dry, tie twine to the wreath, decorate with ribbon, and hang above the door.

The door is decorated. Make table decorations. To make napkin rings, take:

• toilet paper rolls;
• paint;
• spices;
• seeds;
• small cereals;
• stationery knife;

To give the products additional strength, you can lubricate the decorated surface with glue.
