Autumn gives us a huge variety of natural materials for crafts. These are cones, and acorns, and dry twigs, and driftwood, and leaves of various colors. It’s hard to resist not to make any crafts on the theme “Autumn” from natural material.
Autumn applique
The most common type of manual labor is application. An interesting option may be a picture or postcard made in this technique, but using autumn leaves. Such crafts on the theme of "Autumn" from natural material can be hung on the wall or even presented to someone as a greeting card. It is only important to consider that autumn leaves are best collected not completely dried, not fragile. Then they can even be cut in some places with scissors if necessary. It would be nice in this technique to depict a red squirrel carrying a mushroom or apple in a hollow, birds flying to the south, an autumn forest in a beautiful golden dress. Only part of the leaf should be lubricated with glue, then the hedgehog spikes, squirrel tail and bird wings will be more voluminous, which will give the applique a special charm. But after gluing all the necessary details, the work can be put under the load, for example, under a book, placing something heavy on top - let the leaves dry under the press. Then they will not bend.
Mushrooms made from natural material.
Interesting crafts on the theme of "Autumn", a photo of one of which is posted here, are a variety of souvenirs in which the main detail is mushrooms. They are made from the caps of acorns and twigs, from chestnuts. You can connect “mushroom caps” and “legs” with glue, dough, clay, window putty or plasticine. And if in the place of a dent grease the chestnut with yellow plasticine and apply a hard brush with a hard brush, you will get a beautiful mushroom that imitates a butterdish.

Hedgehog with apple or mushroom on the back
Everyone knows that for the winter, many animals prepare their own supplies. For example, hedgehogs diligently drag mushrooms, fruits, berries into minks. Making a hedgehog carrying stocks on its back is a snap. To do this, roll a dense ball out of paper so that the clay takes less time. Then coat this paper ball with plasticine, fashion a muzzle. On the back, gently attach the sunflower seeds with their points outwards. Make eyes and a nose on the muzzle from buttons or beads, or you can take peas of black pepper. A mushroom is made from the acorn and chestnut, and you can take the real apple. A beautiful hedgehog is obtained from cones. It is only necessary instead of seeds to attach cones on the back with the points up.
