Some useful ideas for autumn crafts, which can be useful for children in school.

A new school year has begun, and with it,the eternal problem of autumn-themed crafts for school. And it is clear that the child will come to his mother-craftswoman with this problem. And that means, you, dear craftswomen, it is time to start preparing in order to meet any teacher's assignment fully armed. Of course, when you hear the words "school crafts from autumn materials", the first thing that comes to mind is animals made of chestnuts and acorns, leaf appliques and other simple, not particularly interesting things. It is clear that you can't do without them, especially for kids. But that is why we are creative people, to find non-standard solutions. And this fall we will try to please school teachers with something fresh and unusual. Let's start with something simple. An ominous-looking spider in a thread web is just what boys need. Take two twigs, fold them crosswise, wrap the center with a harsh white thread. Add two more branches, screw them in place properly. You can secure the center with a glue gun for reliability. Then wind the thread between the branches, creating a "web". Glue a few autumn leaves here and there (they need to be dried in advance). Make a spider out of chestnut and thin branches and put it in the center with hot glue.A postcard is another good way to sendsmall dried leaves are used. The child can make a cardboard base and glue the picture with PVA glue on his own. You can help him with the composition or find suitable materials for decoration in your hamster supplies so that the card looks more beautiful.Create stunning from natural materialsIt is very easy to make a silhouette painting that you would not be ashamed to hang in your living room. Place a composition of leaves, twigs, ears of corn, etc. on a piece of cardboard. Take liquid paint and an old toothbrush. Dip the brush in the paint, then quickly run your finger along its bristles, directing the splashes onto the drawing. It is better to practice outside, otherwise you will have to combine artistic creativity with cleaning. Make sure that the leaves on the cardboard do not move from their place until you finish the work. Then carefully remove them and send the painting to dry. You can do it easier and use spray paint, but in this case the process must be carried out under your supervision - this paint is not safe for a child.A small twig and four winged seeds make a gorgeous dragonfly. Glue the winged seeds on with a hot glue gun, then let your child coat them with glue and sprinkle them with glitter.Topiary made of acorns is quite"Adult" work, but a schoolchild can be entrusted with at least half of the process. Secure an old ball to a stick with hot glue. Then glue the acorns. You can work with a glue gun, applying a drop of glue to the desired area, and your child will lay out the acorns on the ball. Then "ennoble" the topiary with gold spray paint. Pour small stones into a small pot (you can also send a child to get them), "plant" the trunk in them and fill it with plaster.Paperweight made from stones decorated with leaves– stylish and unusual. Such work can become not only a school craft, but also a good gift. Send the child "on a hunt" for smooth flat stones and beautiful leaves. The leaves should be small and thin. Wash and dry both. Glue the leaves to the stones (I think PVA glue should work), dry and varnish.Leaf prints on polymer clay -A cute trinket. However, it can be used to decorate a postcard or make a fridge magnet. You will need small leaves with raised veins and self-hardening polymer clay (you can replace it with salt dough). Roll the clay into balls, crush them into flat cakes. Put the leaves in the middle with the veins down and press them down (you can lightly roll them with a rolling pin). Then remove the leaves. Dry the clay, bake the dough. After that, all that remains is to paint the prints.Plaster castings of leaves - a bit trickya topic for a school craft, but with a skilled mother, nothing is impossible. Especially if you study the theory in advance and read master classes on plaster casting. Put polyethylene film in a tray or on a tray. Lay the leaves on it with the veins facing up. Dilute the plaster and carefully pour it over each leaf separately. You can make loops from a cord, attach them to the center of the leaf and secure them by pouring another layer of plaster over the knot. Let the plaster harden. Then take out the casting, remove the sheet. Use a knife to cut off excess plaster along the contour of the leaf while it is still soft. Dry completely and paint.
