How to make a topiary, a hedgehog, a house, a cheburashka, a bear, an owl, beads, an ant, a horse, a basket, a vase, a Christmas tree, Christmas decorations, cards from chestnuts with your own hands

Autumn is the time of the year, which presents us with a lot of materials for creativity. Many adults and children are happy to collect cones, bright leaves, dry flowers to create original products with your own hands. IN Lately crafts made from the fruits of the chestnut tree became quite popular. Chestnut can serve as the basis for many creative ideas.

Chestnut topiary

One of the most interesting chestnut products is the topiary. To make a unique tree with your own hands, you will certainly need a ball for the base, a trunk, a container in the form of a pot, or some kind of stand. Fruits can be painted in the desired shade or used in its natural form. For crafts, you may also need twine, beautiful braid, beads, and much more. It all depends on the capabilities and imagination of the author.

1. The first step is to prepare the base. First you need to think about the base ball. You can use a ready-made blank, which is purchased at a needlework store at an affordable price. Or you can make a ball from improvised materials:

• papier mache;
• wrap a dense bundle of newspapers with threads;
• use an old rubber ball or any round object.

2. Selection of the trunk. Any wand can be used here. A pencil, a branch, a small rail will do.

3. The connection of the base and the trunk. To do this, you need to make a neat cut at the base with a clerical knife and place the barrel in it.

4. Work with a potty. Most often, craftsmen use a small vase or an ordinary flower pot. You can choose the capacity appearance in advance, or you can decorate it yourself.

5. Gypsum mortar is poured into the pot. When it starts to harden a little, you need to insert the barrel together with the ball into the mass and wait for the gypsum to dry completely.

6. The next step is to decorate our crafts.

Gluing chestnuts is one of the most interesting and exciting stages. It is better to choose for this not round fruits, but slightly flattened ones. Hot glue is best for gluing. It will allow you to quickly fix the decor on the base. It is recommended to start from the top.

When gluing fruits, rarely anyone manages to avoid emptiness. Now is the time to think about how to cover it up. For the final decor, both the base and the planter are perfect:

• pistachio shells;
• small slices of dried citrus;
• coins;
• decorative braid or ribbons;
• beads;
• cereals or pasta of an interesting shape;
• coffee beans.

In order for the chestnut craft to be done neatly and in an original way, you should pay attention to a number of tips:

1. Chestnuts in mixed decor look interesting. For example, some of the fruits are left in their natural form or simply varnished. And others are wrapped, for example, with twine.
2. Separately, you can use hats from chestnuts.
3. Both the hats and the fruits themselves can be painted with spray paint. It is better to give preference to gold, silver, bronze shades.

Christmas tree from chestnuts

On the eve of the New Year, you can create an original Christmas tree from chestnuts with your own hands.

This will require the following materials:

• chestnuts different sizes;
• thick cardboard;
• hot glue;
• paints in spray cans;
• decoration material.

First, the basis for the New Year's beauty is made. To do this, a cone is made of thick cardboard, depending on the required height of the finished craft.

Before proceeding to the most important process, chestnuts need to be sorted by size. You need to start work with the largest fruits.

Using hot glue, chestnuts are attached to the cone made, starting from the bottom border. Toward the top, the size of the fruit should decrease.

Now it's time to paint the product. Spray paint works best. Color can be any, it all depends on the imagination.

After the Christmas tree has dried out, it's time to decorate it, for this you can use:

• tinsel;
• beads;
• homemade bows;
• tapes;
• small Christmas toys.

Decorative vase of chestnuts

To create an original vase decorated with chestnuts, you will need:

• base for a vase;
• fruits of a chestnut tree;
• hot glue;
• dye;
• decoration materials.

First you need to prepare the base for the vase. As a basis, you can use finished vase or make it from improvised materials, for example, from cardboard or take some kind of jar. The disadvantage of a cardboard product will be the inability to use it for fresh flowers.

To make possible gaps between the chestnuts not so conspicuous, you can paint the vase with brown paint and let it dry.

Fruits are attached to the chosen basis of our chestnut craft using hot glue and a gun.

When designing a product, it is first of all better to close the “emptiness”.

For decorating chestnut vases fit:

• dry flowers;
• coffee beans;
• beads;
• ribbons.

House of chestnuts

Children enjoy making crafts natural materials and especially they like chestnuts. When doing crafts for a school or kindergarten, it is quite possible to create a composition with a chestnut house.

It will require:

• chestnuts;
• bright leaves autumn trees;
• dry branches of small sizes;
• legumes, such as beans;
• dried rowan berries;
• plasticine;
• hot glue.

Now consider the sequence of work:

1. We select the basis for crafts from chestnuts. It can be a box or just thick cardboard.
2. A small corner is covered with carefully mashed plasticine. But the rest of the "territory" is laid out with dried leaves. They can be fixed with glue from a gun.
3. A large flat oval is made from blue or blue plasticine - this will be a lake. finished part spread on the "plasticine" area.
4. Around the reservoir, you can lay out a fence of some seeds.
5. We select the basis for the house. It is best to use a ready-made box, make a cardboard roof.
6. We cover the base with chestnuts. They can be attached to plasticine, but it will be more reliable to use hot glue.
7. Places for windows can be left in advance by making them from plasticine yellow color. Or glue them on top of paper or cardboard. With plasticine windows, the house will look more comfortable.
8. From the branches you can make a pipe.
9. Now the product can be varnished.
10. The clearing around the house can be decorated at your discretion, depending on availability various materials. Next, we will consider how to make mushrooms and various animals from chestnuts. They can be placed in the clearing around the house.

Looking for autumn crafts from chestnuts on the theme "Autumn" in a kindergarten or school? Or maybe you don’t know what to do with your child on the weekends? I propose to do with your own hands simple, but very interesting autumn compositions using natural materials.

Let's create a family of beetles in a forest clearing together. For this you will need:

• chestnuts of various sizes
• colored paper and cardboard for the base
• paints with a brush
• plasticine
• dried leaves.

Crafts from chestnuts on the theme "Autumn" for children - do it yourself

So, we will select the smallest and preferably flat samples from the stocks of chestnuts, glue plasticine eyes and spouts on them. We got funny beetle heads. So far, there is nothing complicated in the work.

Preparing for the event, I found interesting information about beetles on the Internet in advance. The child enjoyed listening to the entertaining material.

For example, beetles are a fairly large group of organisms on Earth, which lives in almost every corner of our planet, with the exception of glaciers. The largest beetles in the world are the titan lumberjack, the hercules beetle and the stag-horned bigtooth. The length of the body of these insects reaches almost 17 cm. The smallest representative of the group is the featherwing, which was not destined to grow more than 4 mm.

It's time to do the body of our beetles. We select large chestnuts and with the help of pieces of plasticine we attach them to the heads.

Now organizing for Coleoptera forest clearing. We will plant a tree on a green sheet of colored paper, and around plasticine or PVA glue we will attach beetles. Our tree is real. This is a dried branch.

Take a brush in your hands, dip it in brown watercolor and draw six legs for each beetle. By the way, the structure of the legs of beetles is different and depends on the way of life. Scientists distinguish running, digging, swimming and other types of legs.

There are finishing touches left. We finish drawing two paws and continue the informative story.

There are many predators among beetles, but there are also individuals that feed on plants, flowers, roots, or sweet pollen. Predators prey on pupae of mosquitoes, ticks and larvae of other insects. Among the sweet tooth, one can separately distinguish a large goldfish, outwardly similar to sunflower seeds.

Our beetles do not belong to any of the species that exist in nature. Let's single them out in a separate group - chestnut insects.

Craft from chestnuts called "Beetles in autumn forest" can be considered completed. As decorative elements, we added dried green and yellow leaves to colored paper. In the background, they planted a Christmas tree in the form of a pine cone.

Beautiful autumn composition!

Crafts from chestnuts with your own hands

Bunny

To make a funny figurine, you will need to stock up on a couple of fruits, the smaller one will play the role of a bunny's head, the large one will be a calf. At the same time, keep in mind that the natural material must be fresh - only then will it be well pierced with toothpicks (they will be needed to attach other parts). However, you can also take dried specimens, only then mom or dad will have to make holes in them with an awl.

Insert a couple of toothpicks into the head and wrap plasticine around them to make ears. This measure is necessary, because voluminous plasticine parts themselves do not adhere very well to slippery chestnut surfaces. But you can try to stick the plasticine eyes, mouth and nose - they should not fall off.

Now go to the body - you will need to attach the tail and paws to it. Then, using half a toothpick, connect the head and body of the animal together. As a decor, you can also fashion a bright plasticine carrot for a bunny.

Make and - the child will certainly like it too.

birdie

Attach the eyes and beak to the chestnut-head of the bird, you can make them multi-colored - it will be more fun. Just like with a bunny, you will need to attach the bird's head to the body - for this you need to make holes with an awl in the appropriate places of the chestnut fruit. Connect them together with toothpicks. Now it remains only to make the wings.

If you wish, then from the plastic mass and dry twigs you can build a nest for the bird.

horse

To make a horse, select large fruits. In the chestnut body, punch 5 holes with an awl - for the legs and for the head. Sharpen 4 matches and insert them into the leg holes. Do the same manipulations with the match for the head, only it will need to be sharpened on both sides. Connect the chestnut head and body.

The mane and tail are very easy to make - for this you will need to use woolen threads. Then they will need to be attached to the craft, wielding an awl.

Bug

A funny bug will turn out not only from the fruit, its peel will also be needed. Fasten the torso and head with a plastic mass. Make eyes using any suitable natural material, such as cereals. Legs and antennae are leaf petioles or thin twigs.

The kids will love it and - we bring to your attention a master class with step by step photos graphs.

spider

A spider is also made very simply, only for its manufacture it will be necessary to take a couple of fruits already. Connect them in a way that is already familiar to you. Cut eight plastic tubes (you can just halve 4 pieces), put them on plasticine - these will be the legs. Don't forget to sculpt your eyes.

decorative beads

Collect fresh fruits, they should all be approximately the same size. Drill them through with a thick awl, but if you have a small drill, then by all means use it to make your work easier. You can also make holes with a nail, driving it with a hammer.

Prepare small wooden beads in advance. You can do nothing with them - the wooden texture looks unusually harmonious, or you can paint acrylic paints the color you want. After the acrylic has completely dried, collect the beads on the fishing line, alternating the "beads". Make a knot on the fishing line, and melt the ends, then they will not be untied. You can hang such decorative beads on the wall to create an autumn entourage in the apartment.

One more children's crafts from chestnuts and other natural material can be called a delightful flower. The middle chestnut with a glue gun will need to be attached to a branch of the desired shape. With the same tool, attach petals to the middle - maple lionfish, and leaves made from beautiful autumn leaves to the branch-stem.

Crafts from chestnuts and acorns

Bear

Put a small chestnut on a large chestnut - you get the body and head of a bear. You can use the same technique with toothpicks, or you can use some kind of plastic mass. Glue the ears to the head - a couple of tiny chestnuts.

Eyes for the bear can be made using two miniature buttons, roll up the nose and mouth using plasticine of the appropriate color. Attach to your head. Make paws for a bear cub very simply - put it on four acorn plushes, fixing it with plasticine.

If you would like to do crafts from cones and chestnuts, then you can plant a bear cub near a large pine cone, previously painted with green gouache. It turns out that the bear is sitting under the Christmas tree.

Cow

Our main material will act as the cow's body. For the legs, roll up four brown or black plasticine sausages, put the body on them. A thin plasticine sausage, fixed at the back, will imitate a ponytail. Attach a small plasticine cake cut with scissors to its tip.

A cow's head is an acorn without a hat, a pair of fashioned white horns, eyes and ears should be fixed on it. In place of the nose, a molded cake should flaunt - make two nostril holes in it. Attach the head to the body.

Mushrooms

Lay out the lid of the box autumn foliage- it can be both fresh and dried. Using plasticine, connect together an acorn without a plush and a chestnut. Choose acorns that are not very thick, so that as a result it looks like a mushroom. Glue a few blades of grass or leaves on the surface of the hat, this will help to achieve greater realism. Put man-made mushrooms on the lid-clearing - and here you have it crafts from chestnuts "Autumn", unusually beautiful and harmonious. Or you can put a cute animal on such a mushroom clearing.

Crafts from chestnuts on the theme of autumn - topiary

You can create a stunningly beautiful autumn tree with your own hands, and we will tell you what exactly should be done to achieve the goal. This will be a real highlight of your interior or an excellent gift for friends.

The basis of the craft will be a ball. You can use the most different materials For example, you can purchase a foam base from a craft store. We suggest you use the most common newspapers - they are quite inexpensive and are perfect for the workflow. Crumple them well and tie them with thread so that the newspapers keep their shape. The base ball should be tight, which is why it should be lightly smeared with glue. You can also mask the protruding pieces of newspaper sheets.

Put the base on the trunk. For the barrel, you can take both a wooden and a plastic stick. First, make an incision on the ball, through which you pierce the stick.

Pick up a pot for your topiary in advance - it can be ceramic, glass or plastic. Pour the gypsum solution inside, and when it begins to slowly harden, insert the trunk into the pot. Support the topiary until the plaster has completely set. If the container does not look very attractive, then now is the time to decorate it, for example, by wrapping it with twine or sticking rhinestones.

Sort your natural "treasury" by selecting flat chestnuts that will be more convenient to glue, in addition, they will look more attractive on the crown.
