Leaves
- Candlestick. This is an applique on glass. There is no need to wait until autumn to create beautiful patterns from fallen and yellowed leaves. In nature there are colorful leaves: striped, burgundy. A prerequisite is to smooth them out a little using a press. Don't wait for the leaves to dry. It is enough to keep them under a stack of books for 1-2 days. You need: leaves, a jar, PVA glue, degreaser, a brush. How to make an applique:
- Treat a clean jar with a degreaser.
- Apply a layer of glue.
- Make a pattern of leaves by gluing them onto the jar. Even a 3-year-old child can do this activity.
- Applique painting. Anything you want can be made from leaves. After all, to create a picture, you can simply glue them onto paper, or you can cut out any shapes from them. You can even fold the sheets several times to make the pattern three-dimensional. As an example, I give pictures. As a basis, you can use canvas or a cut of wood, or make an applique on glass inside a photo frame.
- Dress - applique. Incredibly beautiful dresses for girls. You can draw or print the silhouette of a girl and make her a beautiful dress from petals, leaves, or whole flowers. Or you can even take your photo and decorate your outfit.
- Postcards. They are usually made in the same way as paintings, but you can improvise. For example, use leaves only as templates.
- Fasten the leaves.
- Place a blank for a postcard on them.
- Holding the pencil almost horizontally, do the shading.
- Draw veins and contours. To do this, you can use different colors of pencils.
- Plate-vase. To make a plate of autumn leaves with your own hands you will need a little:
- colorful “live” leaves or herbarium (maple ones look great)
glue (suitable for decoupage)
- tassel
- scissors
- Bowl
- Clothing decor, hats, a crown of leaves are a great idea for a photo shoot.
We grease the bowl with cream or wrap it in cling film and glue the leaves with PVA glue, then apply a fixing layer of glue on top of the leaves. This is what it should look like:
As you may have guessed, you can take any basic shape, even a balloon.

Winter crafts for school
Already in the first grade, children learn to work with scissors, an awl, and needles. The variety of techniques is increasing. School winter crafts can include complex folding, origami, corrugation and independently developed complex shapes. The rest depends on imagination and material.
Made from natural material
Most children are already familiar with the principles of turning pine cones into animals. In school crafts, complexity increases and small details appear.
For work, you can offer materials available in winter:
- cones and twigs;
- acorns, nuts;
- dried fruits and seeds;
- moss, dry autumn leaves.
You can use the collection left over from the fall.
From plastic bottles
Even adults are interested in crafts made from plastic bottles. The only limitation is that children are usually not trusted to cut plastic. Sharp edges can cause injury to children. But the bottle can be pasted over and painted. Transparent ones can be filled by painting the inside.
Penguins
To create funny penguins you will need two identical bottoms. Regular soda or mineral water bottles will do.
Snowflakes
Adults will have to cut and burn the bottoms of bottles in advance. This will prevent children from getting hurt on sharp edges. If you glue two identical bottoms together, you can fill the mold with colored cotton wool or confetti.
From pasta
The variety of pasta products in stores is huge. It would be unwise not to use this budget material. To expand the scope for creativity, you can invite children to create a common piggy bank. Then spaghetti, shells, original spirals, and flowers will appear in the works.
Herringbone
For a simple and effective Christmas tree you will need 100 g of ordinary pasta feathers. The craft is based on a cardboard cone. No less impressive works are obtained from bows or spirals. You can also put beads in shells fixed in the shape of boats - they will replace Christmas tree decorations.
Snowflakes
The easiest way to make snowflakes is from stylized flowers. With a little imagination, you can find a use for any pasta. After gluing, the toys are easily painted with regular gouache.
Christmas balls
The basis for the Christmas tree decoration is a small balloon. You can use any pasta. The main condition is that they must stick tightly to each other, but not to the ball. Then the base can be blown off, and the lace toy can be painted and decorated.
Other ideas
Materials for winter crafts can be threads, felt, felt, lace and satin ribbons - any textile. There is a use for popsicle sticks and toothpicks. Cotton pads and just cotton wool will look great. The main thing is to look at waste materials from a different angle.
You can add extra shine to your work with shiny nail polish and loose glitter. If you don’t have them on hand, you can simply finely chop tinsel or rain.
