Autumn time is a magical time of the year when creative natures literally gush with inexhaustible imagination and the desire to create something new. Perhaps the atmosphere itself is the main spiritual mentor. The air is saturated with something special.
Why not feel like a creator? Well, at least within their own abode. As a rule, in the fall, teachers in the primary grades of the school offer teachers to use
natural materials in their work
. Crafts from leaves - this is a great opportunity to give a fading nature a second life. And this process is very exciting. Join your child and you will find a lot of original ideas for decorating the apartment.
Let's start with the simplest. Fallen leaves will be an excellent material for a funny picture with a simple plot. Birds, fish, animals ... The mass of options. It is enough just to take a fresh look at what lies beneath your feet. Very often, kids create crafts from leaves, which in their shape resemble chicken, turkey or peacock. In fact, such a spectacular picture is quite simple. On a piece of paper or color cardboard (it is better to use the last option so that it can be fearlessly hung on the wall), the leaves are carefully glued with a fan in several layers, starting with the largest.
This should be done so that only the lower part adheres to the base. Then the “tail” of the bird will turn out magnificent and very beautiful. A half of a cone can act as a body. It remains only to add a beak, paws and eyes.
Crafts from tree leaves can also serve as useful household items. In order for your home to have a charming little vase in the autumn theme, take, as a basis, a round bowl. Very often an inflatable balloon is used for these purposes. But in this case, the vase will not have a stable base, which will have to be created separately and then glued to the rest of the workpiece. Crafts from leaves of this category are already more complex. But then the result exceeds all expectations. Apply leaves in a dense layer on the base, carefully coating them with glue. Do not spare the sticky fluid.
Only then the vase will serve you for a long time and will not stick out at the time of use. This technique is somewhat reminiscent of papier-mâché. In order for the finished product to be durable and aesthetically pleasing from all sides, also glue the inner surface of the vase with leaves. Such leaf crafts can store something not too heavy. For example, car keys, credit cards or another trifle.
The most original look crafts from dry leaves, made in the form of bouquets. The material for them should look good. Follow the combination of colors and pick leaves according to their shade. Be sure to add juicy red berries, twisted vines and small cones to your autumn bouquet. The edges of all components can be slightly sprinkled with gold or silver paint. Use a spray for these purposes. Such a bouquet will be the best decoration of the room and will set all family members in a romantic autumn mood.
