Autumn, fallen leaves crunch underfoot ... What a pity this yellow-red fading beauty, crumbling and trampled into the mud. Here is a birch leaf - pale yellow, toothed, here is an alder - ribbed, but mountain ash is a family of long leaves on a thin stem. Let's take them home and make them beautiful autumn crafts, applications. We also need a piece of colored cardboard for the background and glue to glue the leaves.

How to make an applique from autumn leaves

Autumn leaves that have dried on the street are uneven and rather fragile, so first we will dry the leaves ourselves. We find freshly fallen, bright and beautiful, undamaged leaves, and put them between the sheets of some thick book. We put the book under the press (under something heavy). In a week or even earlier, even autumn leaves for application are ready, they can be easily glued to paper or cardboard with PVA glue.

Sequencing

A real artist sees living images in nature, so we will dream up. Let's lay out in front of us all our collected and dried wealth and see what it looks like. Take suitable leaves and lay out on cardboard until you get a picture. You don't need to glue it yet, at first just lay it out until everything starts to suit you.

When the picture is perfect, you can stick it. We take one leaf at a time, remembering where it was lying, we spread it reverse side, glue in place. If the applique is multi-layered, first glue the lower leaves, then a layer of the upper ones. The craft is ready! You can admire!

But what if, well, the ideas of the applique do not come to mind, and the leaves look only like leaves, and not in any way like bunnies and chanterelles? Then take advantage of our ideas.

Let the children choose the leaves for the applique. They must be of different sizes: more large leaves can be used for the body, and from small ones to make, for example, big ears for animals.

To make the legs, you can use small twigs or narrow leaves, whichever you and your child prefer.

Autumn leaf applications for kids: animals

Making animals from leaves with your own hands is one pleasure. Such leaf applications can be done both on a blank sheet and on a ready-made drawing. For example, before you start making a fox, draw a forest for it, a lion - the Sahara desert, an elephant - a jungle, a fish - a sea.

Such crafts will be very useful in kindergarten when toddlers study domestic and wild animals.

We make applications from leaves

For an applique made of autumn leaves, you will definitely need paper and glue... To achieve the desired result, change the shape of the leaves using scissors. Remember, you can only use dried leaves(usually they are dried between the pages of books, or with an iron, covered with paper on top).

The next step is to come up with a picture. With this, I think there will be no problems. Leaves can be used to make fairy-tale characters, animals, various landscapes, or just a beautiful ornament.

What are the applications

When making appliqués from leaves, you can use various techniques to make the craft unique and unique. I will tell You about several of these techniques.

It is very easy to make an applique from leaves when there are so many beautiful examples. Mustacheinfantry!

Collecting beautiful leaves on a fine autumn day - fascinating activity... And upon returning home, I want to somehow preserve this splendor or use it to create something beautiful - the material just begs for it! The most interesting thing is to make various compositions and applications from colorful autumn leaves. This type of creativity develops the imagination and imagination of the baby. In it, images can be created from ready-made forms by simply stacking them on top of each other, rather than cutting them out of paper. A color palette falling leaves will plug any largest set of colored paper into the belt!

YOU WILL NEED:
Colorful autumn leaves
Multicolored cardboard or velvet paper
PVA glue (you can use starch glue or rubber glue)
Brush
Scissors
Tweezers
Oilcloth

DRYING AUTUMN LEAVES

Applications can be made from both freshly harvested leaves and dried ones. If you want to preserve the leaves, there are two drying methods we recommend.

The first, well-known, method is to insert leaves between the pages of an old unnecessary book. It is better to lay each leaf on both sides with a paper napkin.

The second method is express drying the leaves with an iron. Just remember that the leaves are not sterile, so it is better to iron them on a surface that you do not mind throwing out later, for example, on large sheets of paper. On top of the sheet before ironing, you also need to put a sheet of newsprint or paper napkin.

APPLIQUE TECHNIQUE FROM AUTUMN LEAVES

Before starting work, cover the table with oilcloth so as not to stain it with glue. Prepare the base - a sheet of cardboard, collected leaves, scissors, glue, tweezers.

First you need to come up with a future picture. Then arrange it on separate sheet... And only then begin to glue the individual leaf parts to the base. It is best to apply the glue in droplets around the edges. If you apply glue to the entire surface of the sheet, it will warp when the applique dries.

The finished picture should be put under the press for one or two days.

Don't forget to make a frame for it!

TYPES OF APPLICATIONS

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.

Having gotten used to simple pictures, children can begin to come up with multi-tiered 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.

6.

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.

13.

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").

14.

15.

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.

In conclusion - a small selection of pictures collected from different parts of the Internet - to awaken the first associations in you and your baby. One has only to show the child how to do this, and his imagination will allow you to create more and more new pictures from this amazingly beautiful natural material- autumn leaves!

Yellow maple leaf yesterday

He sat in my palm.

Let someone say to me in response:

"There is nothing like that here",

Yellow leaf like a bird yesterday

He sat in my palm.

Maple Leaf, Maple Leaf,

I dream about you in the middle of winter

Dream at that moment when the blizzard

Shakes snow outside the window,

The moment everything was covered with snow

And my soul is white and white,

I dream about you

Red maple leaf.

Dream, dream

Red maple leaf.

Step-by-step workflow:

1. Fold the sheet in half. Attach a template to the fold line and circle it with a pencil.

2. Cut the workpiece according to the template and open it like a book

3. Fold the workpiece into a strip - an accordion

4. Fold the strip in half with long leaves in the middle

5. Glue the middle to make a maple leaf

6. Similarly, we make two more leaves.

7. We collect three leaves into one large sheet, glue them together

8. The final stage: we choose the background of the cardboard, glue the maple leaf, the spine, and draw up the work from the cut-out remains of paper.
