How to prepare leaves

In order for the application to be neat and stored for a long time, the leaves must be prepared in advance. Drying in a loose position will not help; as moisture evaporates, the material will curl. Gluing such leaves is much more difficult, as is cutting out even shapes for a modular applique of leaves.

There are two options for drying natural material. You can put the leaves under a press, for example in a large book. But we must take into account that the pages are deformed, even if they are additionally padded with a napkin - the reason is evaporating natural moisture. Such drying is a long process, taking at least a month. Solid large veins should be cut lengthwise in advance so that they dry and do not begin to rot.

Express drying with an iron is much faster. It is enough to place the leaves on a newspaper and iron at medium temperature. In this case, the natural color may be distorted. To prevent this from happening, it is worth drying in several stages and not setting the iron to maximum.

To prevent the material from deteriorating before class, you can store it in a box with salt or rice sprinkled on the bottom. The absorbent will absorb residual moisture and prevent rotting.

Autumn applications: preparatory group

Applications made from natural materials in kindergarten occupy a large part of the children's development program. Autumn gifts of nature open up many possibilities for activities with children. Therefore, autumn fairs are a place where you can show off your talents.

You can invite the children to come up with a real composition of leaves.

If you combine drawing and applique, you can make such a cute hedgehog from seeds.

Using flower petals and grass sprigs, you can make beautiful applications

Applique Autumn bouquet

This craft is quite suitable as a gift for a teacher or mother from a schoolchild. After all, such a bouquet of leaves will last much longer than a fresh bouquet of real flowers.

Pre-dry leaves from different trees. Prepare glue, scissors and a sheet of cardboard.

Form a vase from the leaves by gluing them onto cardboard. And then help your child create a beautiful bouquet of leaves. To make it bright and neat, use light leaves for the craft, without holes or stains.

A vase for an autumn bouquet of leaves can be made from colored paper, or you can create a bouquet not only from leaves and do without a vase.

Rainbow in the clouds

You will need: colored cardboard, scissors, glue stick, cotton wool, stapler.

Master Class

Cut 7 strips of paper of different colors so that each piece is shorter than the previous one. The red stripe should be the largest and the purple stripe the smallest.
Arrange the stripes in the following order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
Fasten the strips of paper together using a stapler.
Roll 6 cotton balls.
Glue 3 cotton balls at the base of the rainbow as clouds.

Rainbow in the clouds is ready!

Volumetric applications of vegetables and fruits in the preparatory group

Every child will be interested in making a variety of fruits and vegetables out of paper, which they eat from an early age. They can be made as appliqués on paper or in volume.

How to make an apple out of paper

We will need a sheet of red double-sided paper. Fold it in half and cut it. We also fold the halves in half and draw the silhouette of half an apple with a pencil.

Glue the apple halves onto a piece of paper and create a core, stalk and leaf.

Idea 1. Autumn topiary

Topiary is a decorative tree that can be used to decorate a dining table, mantel, or front door area. To make it, you can use natural or artificial materials, for example: leaves, berries on twigs, acorns, cones, chestnuts, flowers, dried citrus slices, as well as felt, sisal, linen and whatever your imagination tells you. In the next slider you can see several examples of such autumn crafts.

Next, we present to you a simple master class on making an autumn decorative tree from artificial leaves and berries.

Clay pot;
Wooden stick or branch;
Two polystyrene or floral foam balls;
Materials for decorating the crown;
Dry moss (you can replace it with sisal);
Glue gun and several glue sticks;
Scissors;
Side cutters or pruning shears;
Acrylic paints for painting the trunk, ball and pot (optional).

Step 1. Cut a hole in the base ball with a sharp tool for the barrel, about a third of its diameter deep. Place a drop of hot glue into the hole and insert the barrel into it.

Step 2: Insert the second ball into the pot. If the ball does not sit tightly enough in the pot, place newspaper around it. Cut a hole in the ball for the trunk, 2-3 cm deep. Insert the trunk with the crown into the hole and adjust its length. Next, drop glue into the hole of the ball, place the barrel in it and begin to fill the hole with glue, placing small pieces of paper around the barrel. This is necessary so that the hot glue does not deepen the hole too much.

Step 3: Paint the pot the color you want if you don't like the original look. In this project, the pot was painted with spray paint in a dark bronze shade from Rustoleum (sold in construction stores, for example, in Leroy Merlin).

Remember that the design of the pot should be simple and unpretentious so as not to distract attention from the crown. If necessary, paint the barrel and/or balls at this stage. It is advisable to paint the balls so that the gaps between the decorative details are invisible.

Step 4. While the paint on our blank is drying, sort the decorative parts by type and size. If you use artificial leaves, flowers and berries with a wire base, then when cutting them, leave “stems” about 2 cm long. This is necessary in order not only to glue the parts, but also to stick them into the ball - then they will hold more securely . If the “stems” do not have wire, then it is better to cut the parts “at the root”.

Step 5. Now it's time for the fun part - creating the crown. First, evenly distribute and glue the largest parts onto the ball, then the middle ones. Finally, fill in the gaps with small embellishments.

Step 6. Well, that's all, all that remains is to decorate the ball in the pot with dry moss or sisal, after treating it with glue.

Crafts with natural materials

Natural materials can also be used to create applications. Most often, they are collected leaves of various trees, which are perfect for such purposes. For crafts, it is important to choose only the most beautiful ones. This will help improve the quality and beauty of the future product.

Golden autumn

Children need to be taught creative work from a very early age. In kindergarten, for these purposes, various crafts are used from natural material that has been collected and properly dried.

An application on the theme of autumn in the younger group involves the use of multi-colored autumn leaves, which the children themselves chose and brought. It doesn’t matter what size or shape they are. To try to make a beautiful craft, you need to prepare:

glue and a brush for applying it;
cardboard or thick paper for the base;
scissors;
natural natural materials (leaves, twigs, flowers);
small decorative elements.

For this craft, it is advisable to collect leaves from different trees. This will not only help make a more beautiful picture, but will also allow educators to teach children to distinguish them from each other.

The golden autumn applique is made following the following sequence of actions:

First, the children collect the leaves and other natural materials they like.
Then only the highest quality and most attractive specimens are selected from the total mass. All rotten, dried or damaged leaves are removed and disposed of.
Selected specimens are laid out on the work surface and dried from excess moisture. It is important not to overdo it, so as not to end up with pieces that are brittle and unsuitable for application.
After this, a cardboard base is taken and a rectangle of the required size is cut out of it.
Then the brush is moistened in a jar of glue and the leaves are coated one by one.
Immediately the image details are attached to the base. This should be done chaotically and in random order.
The finished composition is transferred to a warm place for the glue to dry completely.
At the very end, the applique is supplemented with various decorative elements.
