Walnuts, or rather their shells – onefrom the best materials for interesting crafts. A whole set of special properties of walnut shells (special surface texture, long-term paint retention, relatively large sizes) allows both adults and children to make crafts from it, and the risk of any injury during the making of the toy is completely eliminated. In our review, you will look at several types of crafts made from nut shells and tell you how they can be made. The first step in making all crafts is peeling the nut – You need to peel the nut very carefully, completely removing the nut itself, while leaving the shell completely intact (if you can’t do this, it’s better to ask someone for help - if there are cracks on the shell, the craft won’t work). “Walnut Ladybug” To make a ladybug, take three walnuts and plasticine of different colors. Peel the nuts, divide them into halves and make the face and wings of the future ladybug out of plasticine, then attach the face and wings to one of the halves, after making characteristic dots on the wings (this can be done with a marker or plasticine of a different color). Make a ball from a piece of yellow plasticine and attach it to the five remaining halves of the shell – you will get a flower on which you will plant the ladybug you made earlier. The craft is ready!
"Funny little animals" You can make a lot of funny animals from walnut shells without much effort. Below we will tell you how to do this.
For making penguins paint the shells in black and white, then draw the eyes and attach the pre-made beak and paws.
Paint the walnut shells gray, cut out a long tail and characteristic mouse ears from paper, and then attach them to the right places – you will get funny little mice.
To make turtles, paint halfshells in green, putting on the shell characteristic brown spots, then make a paper base with paws and muzzle. Attach the base to the shell, and the bug is ready!
To make bunnies, paint the shells whitecolor, attach large ears cut out of paper to the head, attach a tail to the back of the bunny and draw a muzzle on the front side of the craft – funny bunny is ready!
Of shells, you can make even an octopus! To do this, paint the shell in pink and attach to it eight legs from the wire, covered in pink fabric.
To make a frog, attach to the bottom of the shellpaws (you can use pumpkin seeds as the legs), paint the shell in green and draw funny faces on the front of the toy.
For the manufacture of whales, color the shell in blue, cut out a stream of water and tail from the paper, and then attach them to the shell in the right places.
Paint the shell with stripes of yellow and black, and attach tendrils made of fluffy black wire to the top of the shell – The bees turned out to be funny.
To make crayfish, color the shell in orange and attach to the bottom of the shell a previously cut out of paper base with traced claws and face.
Spiders – Here's what else you can make from nut shells! To do this, paint the shell black and attach legs made of black fluffy wire to the base of the shell.
"Caterpillar on a leaf"
Take a green paper sheet, cut out of it a figure in the form of a wood leaf.
Color the six walnuts in white and orange, as shown.
In the central upper part of each of the shell halves make a speck of light green color.
Take a whole nut and draw a smiling face on it – this will be the head of our caterpillar.
Fix the caterpillar on the sheet with the help of PVA glue (in principle, you can just put shells on the sheet without fixing them).
"Magic nuts"
Divide the nuts into halves and take out the core.
Put a small surprise inside the shell, which will easily enter the shell.
Glue the halves with a glue gun and offer a surprise to someone close.
"Walnut Athletes"
Make three whole nuts using a glue gun, attach paper eyes and a mouth to the top of the craft – turned out to be an athlete-ant.
Using the same glue gunAttach paws made of wire antennae to the ants, bend the wire and insert sports equipment made from improvised means into the ant’s hands. If you wish, you can make many of these ants – You'll get a whole Olympic team.
These are the kind of athletes you can achieve.
