With the advent of autumn, nature becomes very vibrant and colorful. And walks turn into an interesting lesson - collecting material for crafts. This fascinating process draws not only children, but also adults. Beautiful carved leaves of bright color can cheer up and overwhelm with positive emotions. All kinds of flowers, leaves, sprigs of Christmas trees, acorns, chestnuts and their shells are just perfect for creativity.
Applications from natural materials on the theme of "Autumn" in this period, as never before, are relevant. Schools and kindergartens devote a lot of time to this activity. But what prevents parents from remembering their childhood and doing some interesting work together with their children? Applications from natural materials on the theme of "Autumn" can be flat and voluminous, and for their creation it is enough just to include a fantasy.
How to prepare material
For work, you can use fresh material, but it is much more convenient if the leaves and flowers for application were previously dried, then it will be easier to stick them. For a harmonious picture, you need to either select whole elements, or cut one large into pieces. This means that large leaflets for the application of natural materials on the theme of "Autumn" - both freshly picked and dry - can be cut with scissors, giving them the desired shape. In order to dry the material, it is laid out between the pages of a thick book and crushed by a press.
Flat applications
The original applique on the theme “Autumn” will be made of bright yellow, greenish and red leaves, which are laid out in the form of bouquets, landscape or various animals. So, here are some ideas for co-creating children and parents.
- Autumn clearing. For this application you will need a landscape sheet or cardboard, glue and leaves of different shapes and colors. First, weed is laid out from green leaves, on which a mushroom and trees are placed. The main character here will be a hedgehog who walks in the meadow.
- Charming ladybug. This original applique is made by cutting out the necessary parts from natural material with maximum preservation of the natural contours. For such work, you need to stock up on the maximum number of leaves so that you can easily pick up the necessary element. Work begins with spreading weed, followed by a series of cow legs, torso and head, which are formed by the selection method.
Volume applications
Applications from natural materials on the theme of "Autumn" can be voluminous. For them, you can use not only leaves, but also all kinds of twigs and flowers. For example, work elements are laid out in a beautiful bouquet and glued to cardboard, after which a vase is formed under it. Moreover, it can be made of colored paper with decorative elements made of natural material, for example, from seeds or chestnuts or walnut shells.
By the way, considering the topic of seeds, you can open up great opportunities for creativity. A beautiful application will come out of them. Original patterns and compositions are laid out with seeds not only on paper, but also on objects such as caskets, vases and bottles. There is only one rule here - reliable glue is needed, thanks to which the decorative finish will hold for a long time.
