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

How to make an applique of autumn leaves

Autumn leaves dried outside are not even and quite fragile, so first we’ll 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 a press (under something heavy). In a week or even earlier, the smooth autumn leaves for applique are ready; they can be easily glued to paper or cardboard with PVA glue.

Sequencing

A true artist sees living images in nature, so we can dream up our imaginations. Let’s lay out all our collected and dried wealth in front of us and see what it’s like. Take suitable leaves and place them on cardboard until you get a picture. There is no need to glue it yet, first just lay it out until you are happy with everything.

When the picture is perfect, you can glue it. We take one leaf at a time, remembering where it was, smear it on the back side, and glue it in place. If the application is multi-layered, first glue the lower leaves, then the top layer. The craft is ready! You can admire it!

But what if appliqué ideas just don’t come to mind, and the leaves only look like leaves, and not at all like bunnies and chanterelles? Then take advantage of our ideas.

“SQUIRREL” - application made from dry leaves

(phased implementation). Master class for parents and preschool children.

MOTTO:

“For the child, together with the child, based on the child’s capabilities.”

Target: Help parents organize a joint creative activity in family.

Tasks:

Create a positive emotional mood, try to bring parents and children closer together.

Develop the creative abilities of children and adults.

Organize a joint productive activity children, parents, teacher.

Involve parents in the creative process, enrich the relationship between parents and children with the experience of joint creative activity.

Establishing emotional contact between children and parents.

As V. A. Sukhomlinsky said: “The origins of children’s abilities and gifts are at their fingertips. From the fingers, figuratively speaking, come the finest threads-rivulets, which are fed by the source of creative thought. In other words, the more skill in a child’s hand, the smarter the child.”

As many teachers say, all children are talented. Therefore, it is necessary to notice and feel these talents in time and try to give children the opportunity to demonstrate them in practice as early as possible, in real life. Developing artistic and creative abilities with the help of adults, the child creates new works (drawing, applique).

At any age, in any conditions, you can bring creativity into your life, make it richer and more interesting. It's never too late (or too early) to pick up dry leaves, add a little imagination and create with your own hands something that will delight you for a long, long time.

“The best thing you can give a child is your time.”

I bring to your attention a master class for collaboration parents and preschool children of any age (from 3 to 7 years). Creating applications from dry leaves is an interesting and useful pastime with your child. He will learn to create new things. Years later, he will fondly remember the time spent with loving parents, and not with a soulless (and sometimes harmful to health) tablet or laptop, which parents often (judging by the conversations of children) give to their children so that they “don’t interfere.” Remember that life is a boomerang. Children will grow up quickly, and what they will remember from childhood: the warmth of time spent together or a soulless computer and the offensive words “leave me alone, go away, don’t bother me,” depends only on you.

So, let's begin our master class on application of dry leaves: "SQUIRREL".

We prepare the necessary MATERIAL for creativity:

Dry leaves for the body, tail, head, hind paw, two front paws (smaller) and a rowan leaf cut in half for the ears;

Cardboard of blue color for the background (it contrasts very nicely with the yellow-orange autumn foliage);

PVA glue in a tube with a thin spout (dry leaves are fragile and using adhesive glue or any other, applying it with a hard glue brush will not work, the leaf will crumble);

A small piece of white paper to cut out the “squirrel’s eye”;

Scissors;

Black marker to draw tassels on the ears, the pupil of the eye and the white of the nose;

PROGRESS:

1. Carefully take the piece of paper for the tail in your hands and apply PVA glue to it in a thin stream.

(along the edges and a little in the center. We glue the sheet a little to the right of the center of our background with a tilt to the right.

press with your palm and wait a little until the leaf sticks; do not press too hard (remember that dry leaves are VERY fragile);

2. Using the same principle, we glue the squirrel’s body, placing the sheet vertically in the center of our applique.

The “body” leaf slightly covers the “tail” leaf.

3. In the upper part of the “torso” (perpendicular to it) glue a sheet of “head”,

nose to the right;

4. At the top of the “head” we glue “ears”

from two halves of a rowan leaf;

5. Parallel to the “head”, only in the lower part of the “torso” (on the whip) we glue the “back leg of a squirrel”;

6. In the upper part of the “body” we add two smaller leaves, “front legs”, gluing them with a corner,

moving one leg slightly towards the center of the “torso”;

7. It remains to “revive our squirrel.” Cut out a circle from a small piece of white paper, draw a pupil with a marker - the eye is ready. Glue it in the upper left part of the “head”. We draw tassels on the “ears” and “nose”.

That’s it, our “squirrel” is ready.

I hope you enjoyed working with natural materials.

Autumn is not only cloudy days and raindrops that constantly drum on the windows and roof, but also a time of bright colorful landscapes. During a normal walk. which takes place in a city park or public garden, it is easy to assemble a whole collection of materials of various sizes, shapes and colors (yellow, brown, green, red, orange), with the help of which craftswomen, and even children, create crafts from tree leaves with their own hands for gifts or home decoration, interior decoration, for school exhibitions, presentations for Teacher's Day or the autumn holiday.

Step-by-step instructions for crafts for children using tree leaves

The variety of forms, and along with them the stunning colors of autumn leaves, make it possible to create many compositions, ekibans, herbariums, appliqués and crafts.

It is especially interesting to involve a child in such creativity, because creating masterpieces develops his imagination, creative potential. Use the following step by step instructions to teach your child to create interesting crafts with their own hands.

How to dry leaves for crafts

Dry leaves are an excellent free raw material for various herbariums, applications, and crafts. In order for your crafts to last for a long time, you need to learn how to properly dry leaves. To do this, study these rules:

• Collect natural material only in dry weather.
• Choose leaf color yellow or green.
• pay attention to appearance leaves. The most suitable ones will be smooth, beautiful and clean, without damage or black spots.

There are several options for drying leaves. Let's look at each:

• Long-lasting and high-quality method (takes 14-30 days). Carefully level each leaf and place it between the pages of the notebook, which must be placed in a large thick book. Weigh the book on top with something heavy.
• Accelerated. If you didn’t have time to make the preparation, but you already need leaves for tomorrow, this method is the most suitable. Place the leaves between the newspapers and iron them with a warm iron 3-4 times. Then let the plants cool and repeat the procedure several more times. It is worth saying that when using this method, the plants become fragile and cannot be stored for a long time, the green leaves immediately darken, and the yellow ones remain bright.
• Alternative. Some craftswomen have gotten used to preparing leaves using a hair dryer. They claim that with this method the plants do not darken, but there is a chance that the leaves will curl into a tube.

Autumn leaves - DIY applications

Painting “Girl under an umbrella” made of autumn leaves

In this master class we will make the application “Girl under an umbrella”.

• white cardboard;
• glue gun;
• PVA glue or pencil;
• black felt-tip pen;
• dry leaves of different colors;
• bark;
• scissors;
• dry blades of grass.

First we need to outline the silhouette of the girl under the umbrella. We draw it on white cardboard.

Now the silhouette needs to be completely painted over with black. And for this we will use a regular felt-tip pen. You can also use paint instead.

This concludes the work with the drawings, and then we will glue the autumn leaves and tree bark.

Let's make a tree on the side of the girl. And to begin with, we cut out a trunk and then several branches from the bark with scissors. You shouldn't make a lot of branches. Three or four will be enough.

Glue the trunk and branches near the girl. It is better to glue these parts with hot glue. Regular glue will not hold the bark. The base for the tree is also ready.

Now you need to take colorful leaves. They must be dried first. And we break these leaves into small parts. Let them be different sizes and colors. The more colorful the autumn leaves are, the better.

From these small parts we will form the crown. And here you need to use PVA glue or a pencil. Lubricate a small part with glue. And sprinkle it generously with our torn leaves.

Then we apply glue to the other part and do the same. That is, we glue the leaves until the crown of the tree becomes quite fluffy and lush. It is important that there are as few gaps as possible.

You need to glue blades of grass along the bottom. You can take small and thin elongated autumn leaves. Also, fluffy blades of grass that grow everywhere are perfect here. They can be glued with hot glue.

Further from the crown down on both sides of the tree you need to glue a few more leaves, which we shredded, so that it seems that the leaves are falling from the tree into the grass. There is no need to glue a lot of leaves so as not to clutter the application.

Using the same hot glue, you can make a couple of drops on the umbrella, as if it had been wet by rain.

The leaf applique is ready! It can be covered with glass, framed and hung on the wall.

And then we begin to design the face. You need to glue a small red or burgundy piece of paper onto your lips. You can take a barberry leaf or a leaf of any other plant. You can glue it using either hot glue or PVA.

Then we will make arrows on the eyes of the girl or shadow. And to do this you need to take an oblong leaf of any color. You can even take the green one. And glue the leaf to the eyes. We do not glue it onto the entire eyelid, but only along the bottom and slightly backing off from the beginning of the eye at the nose.

Cut off the ends of the spruce needles. And glue them on like eyelashes. It is enough to glue three eyelashes at the edge of one eye. We glue at approximately the same distance from each other.

Shaping the hair. And to do this, take a couple of large oak leaves and one small one. First we glue one leaf, then a little higher the second one. And we glue the smallest one on top. Thanks to the shape of oak leaves, the girl’s hair turns out wavy and voluminous.

And from a birch leaf we will make a crown. Glue the leaf to the head so that its sharp part is on top. This is what the crown will look like.

If you make an application from fresh leaves, then you have a double opportunity to dry your wonderful tree in the future. You can put the applique under pressure for a couple of days. The leaves will dry and remain flat. Or just leave the painting in the air. During the process of drying and evaporation of moisture, the leaves will begin to curl, but this will make the tree even more beautiful, and the craft will be voluminous.

For this craft, leaves and flowers are prepared in advance. They need to be dried. There are two ways. The first is to iron it through the paper. And the second is to put it between the pages of books and press down. Leave it like this for several days.

First you need to draw the silhouette of a dancing girl. And you only need to draw the upper part of the body up to the waist. There is no point in drawing further, since the dress will be below.

Use a black felt-tip pen to completely paint over this silhouette. And this is what happens. This is the basis and guideline. Next we will work with leaves and flowers.

Now we move on to the formation of the girl’s flower-leaf dress. And we need to make the top. To do this, we tear off the core of the cosmos. And glue it with hot glue like a bodice (corset).

Glue three cosmos petals on top. It turns out to be such a beautiful skirt. And with that, the work with flowers is finished. Next we will glue only the leaves.

Let's take three elm leaves. And we will glue them not on top, but on the bottom of the yellow petals. This is how we made the dress widen due to the fact that the leaves are larger and wider than the flower petals.

Take three more elm leaves. And glue it from below under the previous three leaves. But here you need to glue it at a slight angle, as if the dress had a small train.

And we finish the whole dress with three birch leaves. After all, they are yellow and will go well with rudbeckia petals. We also glue them along the bottom of the dress. With this dress we are ready.

And all that remains is to glue the leaves as if a girl were scattering them while dancing. But since the leaves are too large for her, we will tear them into small pieces. And we will glue several of these scraps under each handle. This is such a beautiful and bright applique of autumn leaves and flowers!
