Panel of watermelon seeds "Sunflower"
With the help of watermelon seeds and dried leaves, you can create a very beautiful panel. Take cardboard, double-sided tape, PVA glue and a brush for it, dry watermelon seeds, dry green and yellow leaves of different sizes, Jerusalem artichoke and poppy flowers. Cut a circle out of thick cardboard (if you cannot find the compass, circle the outline of the plate).
At the top of the circle, make a slot with an awl or a clerical knife (the panel will need to be hung). Fill the whole circle with double-sided tape, you will glue the material onto it, which is very convenient. If you wish, you can glue seeds and leaves onto PVA glue. Tear off the top layer of adhesive tape, exposing the sticky part, and get to work. Place the rowan berry in the center of the composition and start wrapping it in a circle with seeds.
Crafts made from watermelon seeds usually require painstaking and patient work. When there is about 4 cm to the edge, start spreading leaves on the panel in a circle. The last circle - Jerusalem artichoke leaves. The remaining free space is covered with poppy seeds. Insert a beautiful bow into the hole on top and tie a knot. As you can see, autumn crafts from watermelon seeds are not at all difficult to do!
Watermelon Hedgehog
To make a funny hedgehog, you need to take cardboard, watermelon seeds, multi-colored plasticine and varnish to cover the work. Sketch a hedgehog on cardboard and cut a pattern. On the entire back of the hedgehog, coat the clay with a not too thick layer. Stick the seeds into the clay on the back - these are hedgehog needles. You can also make eyes, nose, and mouth out of plasticine.
If desired, the back can be decorated with plasticine mushrooms and berries. When the craft is ready, cover it with varnish. You can make several such hedgehogs and place them on a clearing - a cardboard sheet.
Crafts from watermelon seeds: Black Cat panel
Already younger schoolchildren can make such a beautiful cat. To create it, you will need watermelon seeds, cardboard, velvet and corrugated colored paper, thick threads, glue, pencil and scissors. First, cut a pattern out of velvet black paper. You will need such details: a cat's head, a trunk in the form of a large loop and a tail. Cut the parts and gently along the contour from the inside and the outside with thick thread. Then, on the entire surface of the parts, you need to stick watermelon seeds. By the way, it is on velvet paper that they hold perfectly.
When all the seeds are glued, it is necessary to combine the parts with each other using glue. On one side of the loop we glue the cat's face, on the second we attach the tail. Color two watermelon seeds with green paint and stick on the face - these are the eyes. Use a red bead to make a cat nose.
Children's crafts made from watermelon seeds perfectly develop the imagination and motor skills of the hands. To give the elegant cat a finished look, stick it on cardboard and insert it into the frame.
Crafts from watermelon seeds: a horse
A preschooler can make such a horse. Its manufacture forms perseverance in the child and develops imagination. First, you need to copy using special paper or draw a stencil of the horse’s image on cardboard. Then we smear the horse over the entire surface with PVA glue. Gently spread the watermelon seeds along the contour. Then lay the seeds in a chaotic manner throughout the area. It is better to fill all the gaps as much as possible. Do not forget to lay out the mane of watermelon seeds. The work is almost finished, it remains only to give it brightness. Black gouache outline the horse along the contour. Circle the mane with any bright paint. You can draw grass, sun and something else at the request of the child. By inserting a picture into the frame, you will give it a finished and elegant look.
