Autumn Leaves Applique

It is considered the simplest type of leaf crafts. You and your child can easily make an applique in the form of animals or birds.

With the help of dry leaves, PVA glue and paper, you can count on creating. In order to make the work brighter, use leaves of different colors.

Crafts from leaves and cardboard

Making a craft out of cardboard and leaves will not be difficult. You just need to cut the base out of cardboard and glue dry leaves to it.

Herbarium

One of the most fun and common types of crafts for children is an amateur herbarium. Many types can be collected natural material, by which your baby will be interested in studying the variety of plants growing in your area. Use as many plant species as possible to create a beautiful herbarium.

Garland of autumn leaves

Dry the leaves, then dip each of them in paint yellow color to give the leaves a brighter color. Then we hang the leaves to dry in the form of an elegant garland.

You need to take maple leaves of different sizes and colors, then cover them with clear varnish. After the leaves are well dry, you need to hang them on strings, decorate with beads or beads and hang them. The resulting pendant will be a great decoration both on the street and in the house.

Bouquet of flowers from autumn leaves

Flowers created from maple leaves look very impressive.

Vase of leaves

You can use any leaves you like. For one vase, you can use several types of leaves, different in color and shape, or you can make from the same.

Instructions on how to make crafts from leaves Application First you need to prepare everything necessary materials and shoot the table with oilcloth.

To create an overhead applique, you should draw the picture itself on the cardboard, then put the leaves on the drawing, you do not need to cut the leaves, they are used entirely. All that is not enough can be finished with paints or made from other materials.

Silhouette applique made of cut leaves. The leaves are trimmed to embody the intended pattern with them.

The most difficult way is to create a modular applique. It is made from leaves of the same size. In this way, fish scales or bird feathers are made.

To obtain a symmetrical applique, you need to pick up paired leaves that are identical in all respects.

Note!

Ribbon - with its help they create many details in one drawing.

Herbarium

It is better to collect leaves for a herbarium in dry weather, since wet leaves require additional processing. Every detail of the herbarium must be straightened out with a cold iron, before that, carefully remove all the creases of the leaf.

If there is constant dampness outside and there is no time to wait for dry weather, then they should be given the opportunity to dry on their own. After the leaves are dry, they are ironed with a warm iron, placing them between two sheets of paper. You do not need to press on the leaves with an iron, you just need to press a little so as not to flatten them.

The prepared elements are placed on a sheet of paper, which will serve as a background and at the same time a frame. The leaves are fixed with thread or glue.

Flower bouquet / rose

In order to get neat and beautiful flowers, the leaves must be even and clean. Place the piece of paper directly in front of you, fold it in half. Then you need to twist half of the leaf into a tube, but do not twist it very tightly, the flower should be voluminous.

It turned out the core of the flower, we make the petals from the rest of the leaves. In the second maple leaf he inserts the core. In turn, wraps the edges of the leaf so that the petals are obtained. The sheet can be fixed with a thread so that it does not disintegrate later.

Note!

To make the flower voluminous, you should twist at least six or seven in this way maple leaves, each of which is secured with a thread. To create a bouquet, you need several of these flowers.

Vase

To make this craft, you will need:

• PVA glue;
• Leaves of different colors;
• Normal balloon.

It is necessary to inflate the balloon to the desired vase size. Take glue, diluted half and half with water. Lubricate one half of the ball with glue.

Each sheet must be properly glued and lubricated on top with another layer of mortar so that the upper layers of the sheets hold just as well. When you have glued the top layer, then it should also be greased with glue.

After that, remove the ball for a few days until it solidifies completely. When our fake is completely dry, you will need to burst the balloon. The leaf vase is usable. Making such work is not difficult, but very interesting, so it is good to do it with children.

Overhead applique. Try to get started by coming up with pictures that do not require cutting out any details from the leaves, but created by overlaying the leaves. You can think of a lot of such pictures: butterflies, mushrooms, chickens and other birds ... The missing elements can be drawn with a felt-tip pen or made from other natural materials.

With some practice of creating simple pictures, you can start coming up with layered images. In this technique, the leaves are glued on top of each other in layers. The application will turn out to be bright and cheerful if the leaves differ in color.

Silhouette applique. In this type of applique, the extra parts of the leaf are cut off to get exactly what the little artist intended.

Modular application (mosaic). Using this technique, a picture is created by gluing many leaves of the same or similar shape and size (or, for example, maple seeds). So you can make the scales of a fish, a cock's tail or a firebird.

Symmetrical appliqué. It is used to create separate images or whole pictures with a symmetrical structure, as well as to obtain two completely identical images (for example, reflection in water). To do this, you need to select similar leaves to get an image with its "reflection" or symmetrical in itself ("Butterfly", "Dragonfly", "Landscape with a lake", "Boat on the river").

Tape applique- a kind of symmetrical applique. Its difference is that it allows you to get not one or two, but many identical images - ornaments. It turns out whole "round dances" of trees, flowers, mushrooms, butterflies, etc.

Summer is ending, but why? Unfortunately, no one has an answer to this question. We have an assumption, but we're not sure if everyone likes it. We think that summer is ending so that autumn will come. Like this. What's good about autumn? Someone has a birthday (but not everyone's, so it doesn't fit), someone will fly to the sea, but what should the rest do? Admire autumn forest and do crafts? Perhaps, today we will do just that.

Dry leaf beauty

The beauty of the autumn forest was described by many Russian writers and poets, but even without this, everyone knows perfectly well that it is in the autumn that the freshest rain is in the forest, the trees are full of yellow, red, fiery flowers and are pleasing to the eye, and cones sometimes fall on their heads. Collect the ones that have already fallen, take them home, and let's start creating wonderful crafts from tree leaves.

Decorations from leaves and flowers

Of course, this, first of all, is what children love to do. In schools, they are asked to make collages, and everyone strives to lay out beautiful pictures on a piece of paper that, to some extent, reflect his mood. Someone loves bright colours, someone likes to lay out pictures using flowers, and someone can even adapt twigs and roots. The scope for imagination is huge. Look at the photos below - you can make paintings on the wall, lamps and even funny animals from the leaves.

Leaf applications

The most common applications are on a sheet of paper. There is nothing difficult in their creation - you need PVA glue and a little patience. Arrange the leaves on a sheet and glue one at a time. To create a spectacular background, you can use watercolor and, in some places, paraffin, so you get the effect of scuffs and uneven coloring. Often such leaves are given to relatives or friends for their birthday, because making a postcard from autumn leaves is as easy as shelling pears, and a person is pleased.

DIY autumn leaves

What else can you make from autumn leaves? They can be used to decorate a lampshade self made, or luminaire body. Hanging on a string, you can make a wonderful decoration for the wall - you get a real magic twig on which the leaves dangle in weightlessness.

How to paint tree leaves

We want to help you surprise your guests. To do this, we will reveal one secret - you can give the leaves a different color in just a few minutes. For this we need a bunch of fresh leaves and regular baking soda. We fill the leaves in the container with soda and add a little water, let them brew, and after the leaves have lost all the green background, you can paint them with ordinary children's paints. You will get the effect of airy colorful leaves.
