Autumn umbrellas for decoration in kindergarten. Autumn paper crafts for middle school children

15.01.2024

We always want our little ones to be comfortable in their room, even in rainy autumn weather. Therefore, we try to decorate their comfortable corner as interesting as possible. Today we will do it together rainbow and paper umbrella. Step-by-step descriptions with photos will be clear even to children.

Paper rainbow

To make a paper rainbow we will need:

Colored paper;
Scissors;
Needle;
Glue;
3 beads;
Sintepon or cotton wool.

For such a product, it is not important to use double-sided paper. The colors of the sheets should be the same as the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

First we need to prepare colored paper. We need sheets of rainbow colors. Cut out strips from them. There will be 7 of them. The width of each strip should be 3 cm, and their length will be different. Each new strip will be 1.5 cm shorter than the previous one.
Photo 1

Now we need to divide each strip in half and draw a thin, barely noticeable line with a simple pencil.
Photo 2

Now we put all the stripes on top of each other in the correct order - “Every Hunter Wants to Know Where the Pheasant Sits”. Fold it so that the drawn lines lie on top of each other.
Photo 3

Use a needle to pierce the strips in the center of the drawn line.
Photo 4

We take out the needle. We turn the strips over if the paper is one-sided. We stack them on top of each other, connecting the ends.
Photo 5

If the paper is double-sided, there is no need to turn it over.
Sew the edge. You can use a stapler.

Now we need to glue the second ends of the strips together.

Or you can also use a stapler.
We received a rainbow template.

Now let's add a cloud and rain to it. We thread a white thread into a needle and pull it through the holes in the center of each strip.
The thread should be long enough. Because the product will be hung on it. We make a loop on top.
We put a bead on this thread from below and secure it.
Photo 10, 11

Next we'll make it rain. Cut out droplets from blue paper.
Photo 12

Spread a drop of glue and glue it to the thread.
Photo 13

Glue the second drop on top. Next, we’ll make 2 more droplets on the sides. To do this, take a new thread and pull it through the shortest strip and insert a bead. We fix it and glue the drop, slightly retreating the place on the thread. And repeat on the second side.
Photo 14

We cut off the excess thread under the droplet.
Now we need some padding polyester or cotton wool. Tear off small pieces. We will make clouds.
Lubricate the tip of the rainbow on both sides with glue and glue the padding polyester.
We do the same on the other side.

The decoration for the children's room in the form of a bright rainbow is ready!

Paper umbrella

Autumn may well not be as sad as everyone is used to. It's enough to find something fun in it. For example, you can make a bright craft from colored paper. This may be a symbol of autumn weather - umbrella.

Alternating colors, we will make our umbrella striped. And if you use all the sheets from the package of colored paper, you will get a cheerful rainbow umbrella.

Materials for work:
colored paper;
glue;
cotton swab;
decorative tape;
scissors.

Instructions for use

Cut out a circle (diameter 10 cm) from dark blue colored paper and fold it twice. For an umbrella you will need 4 such blanks. Photo 3.

We also cut out 4 circles from white paper and fold them. Photo 4.

We take a dark blue blank. Apply a few drops of glue in the areas shown. Photo 5.

Lubricate the second (white blank) with glue in the same way. Now let's glue them together. Photo 6.

We continue to glue the blanks to each other, alternating white with dark blue. Photo 7.

Let the glue dry a little. We unfold the umbrella dome, glue the outer parts together, giving the craft the desired shape. Photo 8.

Lubricate one end of a cotton swab with glue. We thread it into the center of the dome between the paper parts. This will be the handle of our umbrella. Photo 9.

We wrap the visible end of the cotton swab with decorative tape. Photo 10.

A funny umbrella made of colored paper is ready!

Master classes were prepared by Anna and Elena.

Autumn craft idea #1

Salt dough mosaic.

Mosaic pieces are like a construction set. You can lay out any objects from them. Including autumn paintings.

DIY salt dough mosaic recipe.

1 glass of salt (finely ground). 1 glass of flour. Mix and add water (pour the dumplings into the center of the slide, gradually stirring). We achieve a thick, tight consistency (as for rolling out dumplings).

Divide the dough into portions. Add food coloring to each lump (dilute powdered coloring in a teaspoon with water and mix into the dough). We get several multi-colored lumps of dough.

We wrap each colored lump tightly (without air) in a plastic bag or cling film. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours.

Take it out of the refrigerator and roll out each flatbread into a layer 1-2 cm thick (more is possible). Cut into cubes, diamonds, rectangles, triangles. And we dry it (you can do it in the oven, you can do it in the sun, or just under the bed).

And we get a mosaic that can be easily glued using PVA glue or hot glue from a gun.

After completing the work, the entire mosaic picture can (and even should) be sprayed with regular HAIR SPRAY. And the colors will become bright, richness of color and a slight shine will appear.

The gaps between the mosaics can be filled with mortar- for example, dilute plaster with water and spread it on the mosaic, so that the liquid plaster is poured into all the cracks between the parts. And immediately, while the plaster has dried, wipe the entire surface of the mosaic with a damp cloth, clean those places where the plaster got on the drawing itself.

For this purpose, gypsum plaster from the store or mortar for sealing joints when laying bathroom tiles are suitable.

The background for the mosaic can be a canvas (or a piece of plywood) filled with a background of oil paint. Place a salt dough mosaic in the shape of a maple leaf on top of the oil painting (attach it to a hot glue gun). Dilute the gypsum solution to the consistency of sour cream, add food coloring (yellow or red) to it so that the color of the solution matches the shades of our mosaic. And carefully apply the solution to the mosaic with a thick brush, immediately wiping the surface, clearing the plaster at the top of the picture. In one hand there is a brush, in the other hand there is a cloth for grouting plaster.

After the plaster seams have dried, we cover the painting with HAIRSPray so that the color becomes bright again and the same shine appears on the mosaic as on the oil background of our autumn painting.

Other material

for autumn crafts using mosaic technique

Autumn mosaic made of ceramic chipped tiles.

You can use ceramic tiles with marbled patterns. Chop it with special tongs (you need to pinch off pieces of tile under a towel so that the fragments do not fly around the room or hurt your eyes). That is, you need the tile itself to be inside the bowl, which you covered with a towel, put your hands under the fabric and there, quietly, blindly, by touch, bite off the fragments with wire cutters). Before doing this, you can hit the tile a couple of times with a hammer (also under a towel), and then bite off the fragments with wire cutters.

Autumn mosaic made from eggshells.

We cook eggs in food coloring - just like for Easter. We clean the colored shells and lay out a picture of an autumn landscape.

Autumn mosaic from a broken glass vase, malachite.

It’s very good if you use a broken VASE, with beautiful iridescent sides - where the green color turns into yellow, blue, red (there are such vases). And if you break it and pinch it into pieces with tongs, you can fold a maple leaf like this (as in the photo below).

Autumn mosaic made of plastic kitchen boards.

Nowadays there are a lot of kitchen cutting boards made of plastic on sale. You can buy a red board, yellow, green. And either cut the pieces with a jigsaw (first long strips), and then use wire cutters to bite these strips into fragments of different shapes. And you will get a lot of good material for mosaic crafts in the autumn theme. Everything is simple and cheap with your own hands.

Autumn mosaic craft made from bottle glass.

Here in the photo below is an idea for crafts in the form of autumn leaves made from cement mortar and bottle glass. We break the bottle with a hammer - and under a towel (so that the fragments do not fly away) we bite off pieces of glass with wire cutters. We take a sheet of tin and bend it in a semicircle (we fix this bend with wire wrapping). Apply thick cement mortar in an even layer. We trim the edges of the cement cake so that it resembles a leaf in shape. And until the cement sets, we press pieces of glass into it with the side that is convex and does not contain sharp corners. We wipe the surface of the glass with a cloth, clearing it of any cement mortar that has fallen into it. Waiting for it to dry.

You can use smooth glass (not bottle glass) to simply cut it with a glass cutter into even strips, which you can then prick into diamond shapes with tongs. From rhombuses of the same size, you can lay out a pattern like the one in the photo below.

These are the ideas from autumn crafts package No. 1.

Now let's move on to the second set of ideas.

Autumn craft idea No. 2

Autumn crafts made from felt.

Colored felt has already won a place in the hearts of not only adult needlewomen, but also small children. Nowadays, felt crafts are made not only by mothers on maternity leave. Quite often the school group “Skillful Hands” teaches children the basics of sewing using felt toys.

The simplest autumn craft made from felt is to cut out the outlines of leaves and tie them to a garland or curtain.

You can buy a set of colored felt by ordering it online (cheaper from China, on the AliExpress website - photo below). Or buy in separate sheets in craft stores - but this is already more expensive... I recently asked the price in a store - one sheet of 30 by 30 cm costs the same as three packs of ice cream. It's cheaper in China.

The simplest felt crafts are to cut out the outlines of a leaf and use simple stitches to sew such a leaf to a background canvas draped in a hoop.

Or you can build a floral boutonniere like this from leaves (photo below) - you can fasten layers of autumn leaves from felt with THREAD or GLUE from a glue gun. If you attach a pin on the back side, we will get an elegant brooch for your autumn coat or hat.

And here’s another idea - in the photo below - an idea for a beautiful autumn craft made from felt - a whole felt painting made with your own hands. Leaves, a tree branch and a cute fox are cut from felt fabric. We take a picture frame and cover its bottom with fabric (or wallpaper background). We sew or glue a tree branch and a rope on which felt flags with the letters “AUTUMN” will hang. Then we sew a fox (or an owl, as an option) - from the remnants of the fabric from the fox we cut leaves, from another felt, also of autumn flowers, we cut more different leaves. Using a glue gun, we attach everything in a chaotic manner to the lower frame of the picture. We attach the sleeping fox with glue or thread.

A felt fox can be completely different. Here are several pattern options to choose from.

You can cut a donut ring from felt (or other fabric). Fill it with padding polyester to make the donut-wreath plump. And decorate it with felt leaves. Let's hang a mushroom, or an owl, or a squirrel.

The ring base for the wreath can be cut from regular corrugated cardboard - from an old TV box or a large family pizza. And using a glue gun or thread, sew felt leaves onto this round cardboard donut. You will also get a beautiful bright craft - an autumn wreath.

And here is a masterpiece wreath made from felt with your own hands. The owls are simply wonderful - all covered in sequins.

The base for the wreath can be purchased at the store - they sell foam rings for craft wreaths. Then you need to wrap it with threads (as in the photo below). Tie a twig to a wreath and place a bird on it (birds made from feathers are sold in home decor stores). And twist autumn roses from felt.

Here is a simple master class on how to create a felt rose with your own hands. Cut out a spiral in the shape of a snail. And we begin to twist the rose, fixing the twist with threads in the place where we hold the rosebud with our fingers.

And if the felt spiral has uneven edges - in the form of petals, then we will get a rose with round petals. By changing the shape of the edge of the spiral, we will obtain new shapes of felt flowers. For example, if the edges of the spiral are cut into fringes (scars), then we will get an aster flower.

You will find more ideas about flower crafts in my article. Many techniques for making paper flowers are suitable for DIY flower crafts made from felt (felt is the same paper, only a little thicker and softer).

Craft idea #3

Autumn wreaths.

Autumn crafts such as wreaths made from natural materials look very beautiful. Especially if this material is painted in autumn colors - yellow, red, orange, ocher. Ordinary pine cones bloom with all the colors of autumn - and it seems that the wreath is made of autumn flowers. A very simple craft.

Cut out a ring from packaging cardboard. We paint the cones collected in the forest with gouache and spray them with hairspray so that the paint shines and sticks to the cones (does not stain your hands). Now we take a glue gun and attach our pine cones to a cardboard ring as the base for the wreath. We get a non-standard autumn craft that you wouldn’t be ashamed to take to a competition.

You can twist an autumn wreath from willow twigs. Cut willow twigs must be kept in water so that they retain their flexibility. I have already described how to twist them into a wreath in a separate article. On such a willow ring you can attach physalis flowers-boxes, clusters of bright rowan berries, and beautiful red leaves (aspen has very dense red shiny leaves). To prevent our wreath from withering over time, you can dip all the elements - both the leaves and fruits of physalis and rowan - in melted paraffin from a candle. The waxy texture will seal all the juices of the plant and preserve their color and juiciness for several years.

In autumn wreath crafts, grass panicles, velvety white sage leaves, and rose hips look very beautiful.

You can make an autumn composition not in the form of a wreath, but as a bouquet of leaves and herbs. Here in the photo below we see an example of such an autumn craft.

We stuff birch logs onto a wide board.
On the back side of the chock, we attach a piece of iron mesh to nails bent in an L shape.
And onto this mesh we attach bunches of leaves and herbs with pieces of thin wire or threads.
On the same metal mesh we attach a wide ribbon of dense fabric - burlap or tarpaulin.

We tie a bow and hang this autumn craft on the door or facade of the house. It looks very elegant and beautiful.

Autumn paper wreaths

with your own hands.

You can implement the same wreath ideas from ordinary colored paper. Gather a group of children - give them scissors and let them cut out the outlines of the autumn leaves you drew along the contour. When a large pile of paper foliage grows on the table, you can start assembling the wreath. Yet again cut out a base ring for the wreath from packaging cardboard and attach our leaves to drops of glue in an elegant, colorful, chaotic order.

You can cut out leaves from cardboard and apply a stamped design on them. This is already more difficult - you need to use a smooth thin object - using pressure - to apply veins to cardboard leaves. A non-writing ballpoint pen is suitable as a tool.

You can choose interesting color schemes for your fall craft - it doesn't have to be a yellow-red-orange cloud of foliage. You can choose silver, burgundy, purple, bronze shades - in a cooler color scheme (as in the photo below).

You can also decorate a paper wreath with roses twisted from a paper snail spiral - according to the same principle as we made roses from felt in the photo above in the same article. You can also make roses using any other paper techniques. This site has a separate article about all the techniques for creating roses with your own hands -

Autumn paper crafts

Using the QUILLING technique.

Here in the photo below we see the autumn wreath again. It is made from twisted paper modules. Each element of this flower is a twisted strip of paper. Round paper rolls are given any shape - oval, teardrop-shaped, triangular - and whole bouquets of autumn flowers are made from these different shapes.

Here is a beautiful lace craft using the quilling technique - an autumn oak leaf with acorns also made from rolled paper.

As a beginner craftsman, you can make a small autumn card using the quilling technique.

Making a large quilled maple leaf with your own hands is painstaking work.

You will first need to draw (or print out) a template of the veins of the maple leaf. Then lay out long strips of paper along each vein. Each strip goes along the selected vein - it reaches the edge of the vein (a pin is stuck in this place) - the strip goes around the pin, bends over it and sticks to itself - a double strip is obtained. And this is repeated with each vein of the future leaf. And then each compartment is filled with shaped twist modules.

As the compartments fill with paper rolls, the pins can be removed. And stick it in the place where we want to press the glue-coated twist so that its glue side is pressed against the wall of the vein.

You can collect a whole autumn bouquet of autumn leaves made with your own hands using the quilling technique.

Pictures on leaves.

(Master Class).

But here is an idea that I like because it has a huge variety of ideas for implementation. Here we see an amazing work - an owl painted on an ordinary autumn leaf. The artist’s painstaking work results in a beautiful autumn craft.

Even if you are not a very great artist, you can still make such interesting works - paintings on leaves, even a child can do it. It depends on what to draw. All children can draw eyes and a nose. All that remains is to show him how to make brush strokes - so that they look like feathers.

You can turn one single autumn leaf into an amazing autumn craft with your own hands.

Here are some simple ideas on how to decorate leaves with paints - for beginner artists... An oak leaf can become a peacock feather. Simple drawing. Nothing complicated - you just need to first think about how you will combine the colors - you can use blue, turquoise, green and yellow - or choose a different color scheme for the peacock feather - shades - pink, purple and purple.

You don't have to know how to draw to turn a maple leaf into a painting. Butterflies are a simple symmetry of the wing. You can simply knead a bright spiral of rich colors.

Or, of course, you can be bold and take a swing at a picture with a character (since there is now a fashion for owls, you can draw them in different views and angles. You don’t have to draw an owl as in a photograph - you can have cartoon owls. The main thing is to scatter the feathers in different directions - Make such strokes with a brush in a circle from the head, and strokes in a circle from each eye - you will get a disheveled owl. You can hide all other parts of the owl that are difficult for you to draw in the plumage in a hollow and wrap it in a scarf. Anyone can make this craft with their own hands.. And you will feel how interesting it is. And how nice it is to show this work to friends. Feel like an artist of a new magical reality.

Where to get ideas from. There are a lot of ideas around us. They are on social networks in communities of owl lovers, or communities of gouache paintings... Or you can find a picture in your child’s children’s book. This will serve as an idea for painting an autumn leaf.

For example, you found this owl.

Take a maple leaf. And a blank sheet of paper. Trace the maple leaf on paper with a pencil. We cut out the outlined silhouette - a hole in the shape of a maple leaf remains on the sheet. We attach this template with a hole to our picture with paper clips. And we get a ready-made template for a future craft, a painting on an autumn leaf.

Now all that remains is to take gouache, and step by step, with your own hands, transfer this picture onto a maple leaf. When everything is dry, spray the craft with HAIR SPRAY (to make the colors brighter and the sheet to sparkle with rich color).

And then, in order to preserve the painting for a long time, we dip the sheet into melted paraffin or candle wax. We quickly dip it in and quickly take it out by the tail and hang it on a thread to dry. We get a craft-picture that does not wither or fade over the years.

Crafts-paintings

from leaves, herbs and flowers.

You can make beautiful crafts from herbs and flowers. The main thing is to prepare the picture in advance - draw the outline of the future landscape with a pencil (with faint lines) on a sheet of paper. Then use light watercolors to paint the sky, the reflections of the water reflecting this sky. Then place bridges cut from long wide leaves in the right place. And begin to painstakingly lay out the wooded hills - twig by twig. And then at the very end lay out the foreground of the picture - tall grasses and flowers to the left and right of the bridge line. Beautiful picturesque craft-picture. But it requires a lot of material.

A wooded hill is a whole heap of dried grass stems in the form of twigs. In order for the density of the forest to be lush, you need to first sketch the background of these hills with green watercolors, then you don’t need to lay the green stems so densely.

You can make a picture of flowers and leaves where there is no watercolor - the entire picture, both the background of the sky and the background of the earth, is made of plant materials - as in the photo below. A simple DIY autumn craft.

You can choose colored cardboard as a canvas for the painting - for example, blue as in the photo below. Then the blue cardboard itself will be a ready-made background for the sky and highlights on the water (as in the photo below).

When planning a leaf landscape painting, take care of the plans. Divide the picture into the third plan (horizon, sky, distant meadows) - background (hill, group of birch trees) - foreground (line of tall grasses and flowers).

A landscape painting of leaves looks very interesting if there is a PERSPECTIVE - an element that gradually decreases - goes into the distance. So in the craft below we see beds with flowering pumpkins or zucchini. The lines of the beds in the distance are a little thinner, and the flowers are a little smaller - than the same lines and flowers in the front of the picture.

Leaf paintings do not have to depict a landscape. It's just that landscape drawing is the easiest.

You can put together a whole still life from natural materials and scissors. The main thing is to first draw a sketch with a pencil. And then fill this sketch template like a mosaic with natural material. Using scissors, cut the leaves and stems into the shapes we need.

Do-it-yourself paintings from natural materials depicting insects look beautiful. Parts of herbs often resemble the legs or wings of an insect in their structure. Therefore, it is easy to find in nature elements similar in shape to parts of beetles, dragonflies, etc.

You can also create paintings depicting people or their things from dry leaves and herbs. Delicate canvases with ladies or girls in hats and dresses with delicate lace made of flower petals. You can twist a paper napkin into the silhouette of a lacy white umbrella and fill it with a scattering of press-dried flowers. Or you can use dried flower petals to make a girl’s dress and hat.

You can arm yourself with scissors and cut out clothes for the dancing couple - a dress and a tailcoat.

I also really like the works of the Ukrainian florist Tatyana Berdnik - she posts her works on the website Floristika. org. ua. We see her painting “Mom and Daughter” below. Tender fairy-tale pictures from a distant happy life - where everything is always good, where there are warm smiles and clear eyes, gentle hands and tender hearts. I highly recommend visiting this site - you will fall in love with these works and want to learn this magical art.
