Applications on the theme "Autumn" from colored paper

Autumn colors have always been an object of inspiration for many people, including for creating crafts for an exhibition in a kindergarten or school. When cloudy clouds outside the window create a sharp contrast to the bright trees of various colors, it is a great time to engage in creativity with the children. In this article, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the options for children's paper crafts on the theme of "Golden Autumn".

Trees acquire a special beauty with the onset of autumn, their leaves are painted in various bright colors. Creating a simple landscape with trees from colored paper is a great idea for creative work for children 3-4 years old, because the technique for its execution is very simple. An application of simple figures can also be made for schoolchildren of 6-7 years old to take it to the autumn exhibition of handicrafts.

Craft "Tree with leaves" - this is a three-dimensional picture, which consists of only two types of figures, so it will not be difficult for kids to create it. Prepare the following tools and materials before starting work:

• colored paper;
• a sheet of colored cardboard;
• glue;
• scissors for paper;
• PVA glue;
• ruler;
• simple pencil.

Choose a comfortable workspace - a flat desk with plenty of free space is essential for the creative process. After preparing, follow the step-by-step instructions for making an autumn tree.

• Create a tree trunk out of brown paper - cut a strip 2.5-3 centimeters wide and 12-15 centimeters long.Glue the trunk to the bottom of the sheet in the middle. Glue the upper edge of the strip so that only its middle is tightly attached to the cardboard - the bases of the branches will hide under the edges.
• Make tree branches - cut 6-7 long strips 1.5-2 centimeters wide from brown paper. The branches do not have to be the same length.
• Attach the branches to the trunk - place a few of them coming out of the upper cut of the trunk up, and the rest - to the sides. Grease the beginning of the strip with glue and glue it under the free edge of the barrel. Also grease the other end of the branch with glue, then twist the strip into a spiral 2-3 times and glue the edge to the cardboard. Continue repeating the manipulation of each branch until a fluffy crown forms around the trunk.
• Apply glue to the free edge of the trunk, located above the branches, and glue it to the applique.
• Next, choose colored leaf paper - it can be yellow, pink, red, or light green. Cut a full-length strip from each sheet of paper, 3-4 centimeters wide.
• Fold each strip across with an accordion in 2 centimeters increments. On the resulting rectangle, draw a leaf of a tree and cut it out - you will have a whole colored carpet of bright leaves.
• Glue the colorful figurines to the branches of the tree, and also scatter some fallen leaves around the base of the trunk.

The second way to make an autumn craft is using drawn or printed templates. For work, collect the necessary items:

• a sheet of white paper;
• a sheet of cardboard;
• dry, fallen leaves;
• brown knitting threads;
• scissors;
• simple pencil;
• glue.

Now we will consider in stages the method of making a template tree with our own hands.

• On a white sheet of paper, print or draw the outline of a tree with branches and a round crown, as well as a small mound under the base of the trunk. Cut out the template and glue it to heavy cardboard.
• Use scissors to cut the knitting threads into small pieces.
• Lubricate the tree trunk with glue and sprinkle it with chopped threads - the texture of the craft will immediately begin to resemble real tree bark.
• Grind dry multi-colored leaves, squeezing them in your palms, but not too finely - the pieces should be at least 5x5 mm.
• Apply PVA glue to the crown and to the mound at the base of the tree and sprinkle these elements with chopped foliage.

A bright craft from a paper template and pieces of leaves is ready.

The third version of the applique on the theme "Autumn" is a tree with a crown glued from rolls of colored paper. To create an applique, prepare a few necessary things:

• a set of colored paper;
• PVA glue or glue stick;
• thick sheet of cardboard;
• scissors.

The method of making the craft is as simple as described above, so it is suitable for kids 5-6 years old. Let's take a closer look at the sequence of making an autumn tree for an autumn theme.

• Cut a rectangle out of brown paper and glue it onto cardboard - this is the trunk of the future tree.
• Make a clearing under the plant - cut a mound out of green paper and make sharp cuts on it along the upper cut. Glue the blank of the clearing under the base of the tree.
• Select bright sheets of paper and cut out rectangles of 1.5x5 centimeters from them. Use glue to connect each shape into a ring.
• Glue the colorful rolls around the trunk so that they form a lush crown.

In autumn, many animals prepare for winter or radically change their color, so for autumn crafts, you can choose the applique of birds or mammals. Let's consider examples of making such crafts.

The squirrel is a very cute forest animal with recognizable characteristics such as tassel ears, orange fur and a chic fluffy tail.A squirrel among fallen leaves, holding an acorn or chestnut in its tenacious paws, will immediately make it clear to the viewer that it is preparing for winter. To create this animal you will need:

• a sheet of cardboard;
• a set of colored paper;
• ruler;
• scissors;
• simple pencil;
• glue.

Let's look at creating a cute forest squirrel step by step.

• Prepare parts of the animal's body - cut out the body, head, legs and ears from orange paper, cut out the muzzle and parts of light fur on the legs, ears and chest from white paper. Scissor all the details around the edge to create a wool-like fringe.
• Glue the squirrel pieces to the cardboard.
• Cut out the eyes, nose and ear brushes out of black paper, and glue them to the squirrel.
• Cut strips 1.5 cm thick and 5 cm long from orange and white paper.Glue each piece so that you get a loop.
• From the loops, fold the squirrel's tail - orange along the entire length and white at the tip.
• Make an antennae out of white paper.
• Make an acorn or mushroom out of brown paper and place it in the squirrel's legs.
• Create a twig under the brown paper animal and add bright autumn leaves to the picture.

A cute forest squirrel is ready.

Another striking animal that can be depicted on the autumn applique is the owl, a bird of prey with expressive eyes. To make such a craft, prepare the tools and materials according to the list:

• colored paper;
• thick cardboard;
• glue;
• scissors;
• paints.

Next, follow the simple step-by-step instructions.

• Make paper craft pieces. Cut out the body of the bird from yellow paper - an oval with ears at the top. The wings can be made the same color as the body, or you can choose paper with an interesting pattern. Create legs and beak from orange material, eyes from white, and pupils from black. To make the owl look cute, do not skimp on the size of the eyes, because this is her most expressive part of the body.
• Glue the body of the owl to a piece of cardboard, then use brown paint to make waves on the lower half of the body, similar to plumage.
• When the paint is dry, glue the rest of the bird onto the applique.
• To prevent the owl from "hanging in the air", glue a twig under its paws.
• Cut out autumn leaves from multi-colored paper and add them to the craft.

Among all the autumn paper crafts, there are techniques that are significantly different from the rest. Let's consider several methods with which you can create unique, original paintings.

• A discontinuous picture. The craft is not made up of neatly cut parts, but of torn pieces of paper. The technique allows you to convey the relief and texture of all elements of the picture, making it more natural. Material scraps have jagged edges, making them pretty fall leaves, bird feathers, and animal fur.

• Vytynanka. The finished creation looks like a cut out silhouette of an animal, the outline of simple figures, nature or a whole composition. Vytynanki are created not only as ordinary paintings, but also as decoration for windows, doors and walls. Neatly carved, colorful leaf silhouettes create an autumnal mood as they decorate classrooms. It can also be more complex images, for example, a hedgehog with an apple on pins and needles or mushrooms covered with foliage.

• Craft an accordion. In such pictures, some of the details are folded into an accordion. With the help of this technique, it is very convenient to make a neat circle - you just need to glue the finished elements correctly. Vegetables made in this way look pretty - for example, a round Halloween-themed pumpkin with eyes, nose and mouth. It is also convenient to imitate the thorns of a hedgehog with an accordion or create voluminous bouquets of flowers.

Autumn is a period of frequent rains, so an umbrella is an indispensable autumn attribute in every schoolchild's backpack. The item that protects from the rain can be depicted on the applique, because it organically fits into the theme of "Autumn". For creative work, you need a small list of items:

• colored paper;
• a sheet of cardboard;
• scissors;
• PVA glue;
• pencil.

Having prepared everything you need, start creating crafts.

• Select umbrella paper and cut 4 equal sized cones out of it. You can choose one shade of the autumn attribute, or you can make a rainbow umbrella from cones of different colors.
• Wrap and glue all the elements on smooth sides.
• Glue the pieces of the umbrella to the cardboard by joining the sharp ends together at the bottom left or right corner of the sheet.
• Mask the junction of the umbrella parts with a small cone.
• Cut out leaves from paper of different colors and fill the autumn attribute with them.
• Create a cane out of brown paper and glue it to the cardboard as if it were coming out of a folded umbrella.
• To make the picture look more interesting, glue a few more leaves around.

There are a huge number of autumn-themed applications for preschoolers - from paper rolls, torn paper or using the origami technique. We offer you to consider light craft workshops that you can do with your own hands with your children or be inspired to embody your own ideas.

A beautiful basket filled with mushrooms perfectly conveys the autumn mood, especially if you scatter a few fallen leaves next to it. To make a basket you will need:

• a set of colored paper;
• a sheet of cardboard;
• scissors;
• glue.

Having prepared all the necessary things, follow the simple instructions step by step.

• Cut strips of 1.5x21 cm from brown and orange paper, then divide each strip into three equal 7 cm rectangles.
• Glue each rectangle into a ring to create neat rolls of two colors.
• Glue the rings to the cardboard, alternating the color and direction of the parts in a checkerboard pattern. First create a large semicircle up to the middle of the sheet.
• Fill the semicircle with rolls in the same way - alternating the twist and shade of the basket parts. The result is a woven basket.
• Make a basket handle by creating a mirrored semicircle above the basket.
• Cut out the pieces of mushrooms from paper and place them in a basket. Glue a few colorful fallen leaves around the applique to highlight the fall theme.

Using ornaments is a great way to complete a picture by framing the edges of the cardboard. Intricate patterns made with different techniques from colored paper look like a picture frame. Let's consider several ways to create an ornament.

• From paper leaves. The abundance of small leaves, glued along the contour of the cardboard in a chaotic manner, emphasize the autumn theme in any craft. If you first apply a thin paper vine along the contour of the picture, and then glue some leaves on top, the picture will immediately become doubly interesting.
• Their foliage is dry. Laying out a complex ornament from dry leaves is not an easy task. In a simple craft, it is enough to symmetrically arrange the material in the corners or at the bottom of the craft, and it will immediately sparkle with new colors of autumn.
• From the vytynanka. To make a frame using this technique, you need to spend a lot of time, but the result is worth it.

Paper flowers are a separate art form, sometimes paper flowers are even difficult to distinguish from real, living plants. We propose to consider the simplest method for creating a voluminous bouquet. To work you will need:

• colored paper;
• PVA glue;
• pencil;
• scissors.

Consider the step-by-step making of crafts.

• Glue a whole sheet of green paper in half, bending it horizontally, without creasing the edge.
• Cut the fold with scissors into a fringe from the edge to the place of gluing. The distance between the cuts should be about 1 cm.
• Apply glue to the edge of the leaf at the base of the leaves and roll the future bouquet into a tube. Secure the workpiece with a paper clip until it dries.
• Draw or print a flower template and cut out several pieces of different shades from it. Cut out the cores from yellow paper and glue to the flowers.
• Spread the green leaves of the bouquet and glue the flowers to them, evenly distributing them over the stems.

A neat bouquet can take a stable position, so they will be able to decorate a room or a table in a study room.

The most interesting maple leaves are made using the origami technique - they are as neat and sharp as real foliage. For the creative process, prepare only two necessary components: a set of colored paper and glue. Consider the production of such a craft step by step:

• cut out 5 squares of 8x8 centimeters from multi-colored paper;
• fold one square diagonally and unfold;
• fold the side flaps to the fold and fix 4
• turn the workpiece towards you with an acute angle;
• bend the upper corner to the center and hide under the wings;
• bend the upper corners to the middle and unfold;
• hide the corners under the wings along the resulting fold - as a result, a rhombus is formed;
• bend the upper corners towards you - you get a part of the corner with three sharp corners, add the rest of the squares in the same way;
• glue the blanks together and add a small paper leg.

Harvesting in a box is a very simple task, especially if it is an applique made of colored paper. To create a craft, prepare tools and materials:

• colored paper;
• a sheet of cardboard;
• scissors;
• PVA glue.

Consider making a simple craft for preschoolers step by step.

• Cut five strips out of brown paper - two of them are slightly shorter and narrower than the rest.
• Place the long strips vertically parallel to each other so that there is a distance of 1.5 centimeters between them. Lubricate their edges with glue and attach short strips vertically - you should get a basket with gaps.
• Glue the box to a sheet of cardboard, lubricating only the sides with glue - the middle with gaps should remain free.
• Cut out vegetables or fruits from colored paper - an apple, pumpkin, carrot or beet, and add green leaves to them.
• In the gaps, insert the crop in random order so that it half looks out of the basket. Grease the hidden part of vegetables and fruits with glue and glue them to the applique.

The picture will look more interesting if you fill the box with crops to the top and add one or two vegetables next to it.

After autumn comes a long winter period, so I really want to keep all the colors in anticipation of spring. To cheer up loved ones or create a craft on the theme of "Autumn" at school, you can make a cute vase of paper flowers. To create a painting, you need to choose the following things:

• a sheet of cardboard;
• a set of colored paper;
• a sheet of white paper;
• glue;
• scissors;
• pencil.

Having prepared all the tools, materials, as well as the workplace, proceed to the creative process.

• Cut a vase out of bright colored paper and glue it onto cardboard. The surface of the vase, if desired, can be decorated with a pattern of simple shapes or an interesting ornament.
• Cut a white sheet of paper into circles of approximately the same size.
• Make cuts in the circles in a circle from the edges to the center and at the same distance from each other. Round the resulting petals with scissors to make them look more believable.
• To shape the flowers, glue two adjacent petals on each of them, and use scissors to twist the remaining leaves.
• Cut the yellow circles out of yellow paper according to the number of flowers.
• Glue the cores into the middle of each flower.
• Cut long petals out of green paper and glue them as if they were inserted into a vase.
• Just above the leaves, start gluing the flowers, slightly overlapping the greenery.
• Form a pretty, chamomile bouquet from the flowers.
