Procurement of material

To make applications from autumn leaves, you need to properly prepare all the materials.

For such crafts, only well-dried material is needed. Green, still living leaves will not work, even if they have a good pattern.

The collected raw materials must be dry, but they also need additional preparation for crafts in order to stand for a long time and not begin to rot.

Here are some ways to prepare the material:

Dry and transparent

The so-called “skeletons” of leaves look incredibly beautiful thanks to their thin veins. In the interior, decor made from such transparent accessories looks extremely impressive.

For that to make the leaves transparent you will need:

• fresh leaves collected from different trees;
• baking soda;
• food colorings;
• hollow-ware;
• soft brush (you can use an old toothbrush);
• napkins.

It is necessary to prepare a solution of water and soda (4/1). You need to put the leaves in this solution so that the solution completely covers them. Then all this needs to be put to boil; the material can be removed only after half an hour.

After removing the pan from the heat, place the leaves on napkins to remove excess moisture.

You need to remove the pulp as carefully as possible (the leaves will be very fragile) using a prepared brush. Then rinse with water and apply the desired color with dye.

After drying for a short time, the material will be ready for use.

Craft options

After preparing the materials, it's time to learn how to make a craft from leaves. Here you need to show all your imagination so that it turns out both beautiful and original.

Applications will become the most in a simple way captivate the child. You can use your imagination, or you can choose samples for crafts on the Internet.

Autumn bouquet

The bouquet is the most simple solution to create an autumn composition. If the child has not previously engaged in this type of creativity, you can clearly show him what and how to do. The best thing is to study with him. After all, a child’s hand is not yet as dexterous as an adult’s.

For such a bouquet it is not at all necessary to use real flowers, since you can twist the leaves like flower buds.

For this craft you will need fresh maple leaves and strong threads.

To make a bud from leaves, you need:

• fold the sheet in half with the matte side facing inward;
• twist it;
• bend the next one in half and wrap it around the resulting tube;
• repeat the action until the bud is the desired size;
• After this, carefully wrap one end with thread so that the bud holds its shape.

This way you can make an unlimited number of buds, put them on skewers and place them in a vase as a bouquet, for decoration you can use corrugated paper.

Funny hedgehog

To make an applique with a hedgehog, you need not only leaves, but also cardboard, prepared cuttings, paper glue, and ash seeds.

The base of the hedgehog should be cut out of paper, draw a nose and mouth for it and glue it to a cardboard sheet. Instead of needles, you can use ash seeds, and if they are not available, roll small leaves, for example, birch leaves, into a tube and decorate the back of the animal with such “needles”.

If the collection of collected leaves contains red maple leaves, then an apple should be cut out of them, and a suitable background should be created. Here you can give free rein to your imagination using small pebbles, pieces of bark, moss, etc. Then simple craft It will look not only beautiful, but also original.

Fire peacock

Another original craft will be a peacock with a fiery red tail.

Arranging the composition will be quite simple. The peacock has a large, luxurious tail, so any leaves of the same tree will do (for a luxurious tail, you can use maple, and for a smaller tail, birch). You need to glue the leaves in a semicircle, placing them on top of each other, alternating colors. Then cut out the peacock's head from colored or plain paper, glue the eyes, beak. The comb can also be made voluminous from small leaves.

plant vase

Beautiful leaves can be used as interior decoration, for example, to make a vase out of them.

What you need:

• PVA glue, scissors;
• ball;
• petrolatum;
• maple leaves.

The process of making crafts looks like this:

1. It is necessary to inflate the balloon, then smear it with Vaseline so that the leaves do not stick tightly.
2. Glue leaves coated on one side with glue to the ball (birch leaves can be used to make unique patterns).
3. After laying, coat the entire surface well with glue and leave to dry for two to three days.
4. Pop the balloon. The result is a hollow container made from natural materials.

Firebird and owl

For such an application you will need cardboard, leaves of various trees (mostly small ones), plant seeds (pumpkin, ash).

An oblong leaf needs to be glued together to form a body (linden leaves work well), and a head will come out of a birch leaf. For the tail, crest and wings, it is advisable to choose small leaves, for example, rose hips. They need to be separated from the core and glued individually.

You can make eyes from the seeds of the plant, and also decorate the tail or wings with them.

For the owl you will need small leaves, not too bright. Leaves of oak, birch, willow, and rowan are suitable. You will also need colored paper, colored cardboard, and glue.

To make it easier to make a shape from the leaves later, you need to cut out the silhouette of an owl with eyes and beak from paper. Then create plumage, for example, from rowan leaves. Birch leaves can be used as ears or paws.

Tree and topiary

For topiary, you can use autumn colorful leaves.

To create you will need:

• small pot;
• stick for the trunk;
• a foam ball as the base of the tree;
• dye;
• hot glue;
• elements for decoration;
• gypsum.

After this, you need to secure the leaves to the crown of the resulting tree with hot glue. For decoration, you can choose decorative berries.

Garland and wreath

The garland can be made for both home and garden decor. To do this, you need to cover the leaves with colorless varnish, and then hang them on threads. You can use several types of leaves on one garland at once - this will make it even more beautiful and original.

Wreaths look incredibly beautiful, especially for themed holidays. They can be hung on the door, wall or windows. In an autumn interior, such a wreath will look incredibly gentle.

In order to make a wreath, you will need:

• willow branches;
• leaves;
• strong glue;
• strong threads;
• bird figurines (for decoration).

Wreath weaving technique:

1. Willow branches will become the frame of the future wreath; they need to be bent either into a round or oval shape.
2. To prevent the wreath from falling apart, it is advisable to secure the structure with threads in some places.
3. After this you need to glue the leaves onto the branches. We must not forget that wreaths look better with different types leaves (for example, the first row of maple leaves, then oak, birch, rowan leaves).
4. For decoration, you can use decorative birds, various berries, twigs, and nuts.

Photo frame

Children love to decorate their room, especially when instead of regular wallpaper they see a variety of posters with their favorite cartoon characters. Surely a child will be happy to put such a frame on the table.

Other leaf decoration ideas

Vertical garlands will look not only original, but also beautiful. They can decorate a place above a table, hang over a child’s bed, or use as a curtain on the balcony. This garland can also be decorated with dry flower buds.

If you wrap an ordinary candlestick with a beautiful leaf, it will become the “highlight” of the autumn table. And if you leave the edges of the leaves sticking out on all sides, then thanks to this the candle will cast beautiful shadows.

Crafts made from leaves look much better if you use backlighting. In order to make such a craft, you need to take any jar and cover it with inside leaves. And then just put a candle there.

Connoisseurs of minimalism will certainly be impressed by a maple leaf on a white background in a white or black frame. It can be either regular or skeletonized.

In a portrait craft, you can decorate your hair with leaves. To do this, you can take a template - for example, the silhouette of a girl’s head in profile, with long flowing hair. The leaves need to be glued tastefully so that each one is in its place, otherwise the picture can easily be ruined.
