Wood - DIY crafts

Children really like to make something with their own hands. We offer to consider how a tree (craft) is made from various improvised materials. We also describe how various wooden toys are created.

Crafts from beads - trees

We offer a master class on making bright bead wood.

1. Take the wire and string a lot of beads on it.
2. Then make loops. To do this, collect five beads and twist the wire (Figure 1).
3. Now fold the resulting wire in half and weave it. As a result, you should get a twig, as in Figure 2.
4. Form a beautiful twig (illustration 3).
5. Make several branches in the same way. The volume and size of the future tree depends on their quantity.
6. Take a couple of branches and wrap them together.
7. Take another branch and wrap it tightly around the first two.
8. On the other hand, wrap another branch (Figure 4).
9. Similarly, make several such beams.
10. Beautifully wind the branches together so that the figure resembles a tree. The craft will look like a real one if the wire is carefully bent in different directions.

The bead tree is ready!

Crafts from beads - trees - will look bright if you choose transparent, not matte, beads.

Button tree autumn

To make such an original picture, you need to take:

• cardboard or white paper;
• paints (orange, brown, white, red) and a brush;
• buttons of different sizes in autumn shades (red, brown, orange, beige);

Operating procedure:

1. Take a piece of paper and make a background. For example, mix white and brown colors to create a delicate beige color, and paint over the cardboard with it.
2. With brown paint, draw a tree - a trunk and branches. To make it very beautiful and fabulous, make branches with curls.
3. When the paint dries, glue the buttons on the branches of the tree.

The original artwork "autumn tree" is ready!

Desktop tree - plasticine crafts

A very simple product, the creation of which will require only plasticine and scissors (for example, manicure). You can do it with children who already know how to handle a similar tool.

A detailed workshop on creating a plasticine Christmas tree is as follows:

1. Take the green plasticine. The larger it is, the larger and larger the tree will be.
2. Hold the plasticine in your hands to make it softer.
3. Make a plasticine cone. To do this, simply roll the material into a tube, paying more attention to one side, making it pointed.
4. The finished cone must be cut a little. Take the little scissors and, starting from the top, make small cuts, which are then gently tucked up.

Plasticine Christmas tree is ready. If desired, you can insert a stick - the trunk into the base.

Origami tree

How to make an origami tree craft? Actually very simple. All you need is paper and perseverance.

We will describe a detailed master class on the manufacture of this craft.

1. Take a sheet of A4 paper. Ideally, it is better that the leaf is double-sided: on the one hand - color, on the other - white. If this is not the case, then take two sheets and combine them.
2. Make the sheet square.
3. Lay the sheet in front of you with the colored side.
4. Fold the sheet in half by connecting the left and right corners (Figure 1).
5. Expand the sheet.
6. Fold the left and right sides to the center line (Figure 2).
7. Unscrew the corners (Figure 3).
8. Turn the figure over (Figure 4).
9. Fold the shape in half by connecting the upper and lower corners (Figure 5).
10. Unscrew the slightly bent part, as in illustration 6.
11. Fold the corners as shown in Figure 7.
12. Wrap the “wings” as in illustration 8.
13. Fold up the bottom edge (Figure 9).
14. Lower the upper corner, and fold the lower part in half (Figure 10).
15. Turn the figure over (Figure 12).
16. Bend the tree in half and bend it.

Origami tree is done!

Standing paper tree

We will describe in detail how to make a beautiful paper tree:

1. Prepare a tree template. There are two ways to do this. First, print four copies of the tree of the same size. The second way is to draw four trees of the same size and shape. The most convenient way to do this is carbon copy. That is, first you draw a template. Then put a carbon paper and a white sheet of paper under it and circle the template with a pen. Repeat the action three more times.
2. Cut the trees along the contour.
3. Fold each tree in half in length. If the paper is too thick, use a ruler. Use it to smooth out bends.
4. Take PVA glue and glue all four halves of the tree together.
5. While the tree is drying, make paper leaves.
6. Take colored paper and cut a strip from it.
7. Bend it several times.
8. Fold the accordion in half along.
9. Cut the shape of the leaf half along the folded edge.
10. Expand the leaves.
11. Make enough leaves in the same way so that the tree is not empty.
12. Glue the leaves to the branches of the tree.

Paper tree (craft) is ready!

Christmas crafts from tree branches

Crafts from tree branches can be different. We offer you a creative Christmas tree workshop:

1. Prepare a few even branches of approximately the same thickness. Peel them from the bark.
2. Take the two ropes.
3. Tie the different ends of the stick with ropes.
4. Tie all the branches.
5. Take the pruner and cut the branches so that you get a pyramid.
6. Take a very thin branch or a thick vine.
7. Bend it so that you get a star.
8. Fix the corners of the star with glue or wrap with a rope.
9. Tie a star to the top of the pyramid.
10. On the reverse side, tie a rope to the upper branch to make a loop.
11. Hang the Christmas tree on a wall or door.
12. Take Christmas decorations made in the same style and decorate the Christmas tree. Do not forget the garland.

Such crafts from tree branches will be an original decoration of rooms where it is not planned to put a Christmas tree. And most importantly, they do not take up much space.

Craft Leaves

Crafts from the leaves of trees with their own hands can be as follows:

• paintings (leaves are glued to paper);
• candlesticks (a jar that is pasted over with leaves);
• candy vases (using papier-mâché technique);
• garlands (leaves are dried and ribbons are threaded through them);
• wreaths on the door and walls.

Imagine a master class on making a wreath of leaves:

1. Take a large sheet of cardboard and cut a circle.
2. Step back from the edge of the circle five to eight centimeters and draw another one.
3. Cut the middle. You got a cardboard letter “O”.
4. Collect different leaves.
5. Glue the leaves onto the cardboard using PVA glue, double-sided tape or a glue gun.
6. Leaflets should fit snugly together.
7. Make a hole in the circle and thread a ribbon into it.

A wonderful wreath of leaves is ready!

He can decorate the door throughout the fall, and if you add bows and Christmas balls to it, the wreath will also serve as an original New Year's decor.

Features of wooden crafts

Crafts from a tree for children - environmentally friendly toys. They can be bought or made with your own hands. The latter will be especially dear not only to the child, but also to the adult.

For the independent manufacture of wooden toys, the following tools and materials are needed:

• drawings of crafts made of wood;
• jigsaw;
• wooden plank is the basis.

Workshop on making wooden crafts

Operating procedure:

1. Prepare drawings of crafts made of wood (in our example, this is a movable machine). To do this, draw on the paper the outline of the object and the details of which it consists - a body and two wheels.
2. Transfer the drawing to a wooden plank.
3. Turn on the jigsaw and carefully burn out the contours. It is necessary to work slowly so as not to get burned and spoil the craft.
4. When the details are ready, consider whether you want to color the craft. If so, then this must be done before you fold the toy.
5. Fold the toy. In our example, for this, two holes are made at the bottom of the typewriter case, into which small sticks are inserted (for example, pieces of a pencil) and the wheels are strung.

The wooden toy is ready!

Similarly, you can create many light crafts. For example, a small animal (teddy bear, puppy or kitten) with moving legs. That is, using a jigsaw, make the contour of the animal, and also burn out various details: mouth, nose, eyes, muzzle, paws, ears, tummy, hair. Make paws. If you want, then let all four legs move, but you can get by with only two. Make holes in the frame of the beast and insert the handles.
