Crafts "Girl-Autumn"

Craft "Girl-Autumn" is a universal option for exhibitions in educational institutions. It is easy to manufacture and available in materials. A child of almost any age can handle the technique.

Crafts using the applique technique can be done in kindergarten, as they are quite simple. For work, it is better to use PVA glue - a glue stick can break fragile leaves.

Using the applique technique, you can make a portrait of autumn. To work you will need:

• white paper or cardboard;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• simple pencil;
• dry leaves.

To work, you need to draw a large female face on white paper, possibly with a neck and shoulders. For convenience, you can download the blank from the Internet and print. The work itself consists in making the lady's hairstyle out of the leaves - hair or a wreath.

For convenience, a simple pencil should outline the boundaries of the "hair". Further, from the bottom up, to get a cascade, dried leaves are glued. Decorate your hairstyle with beads, rowan berries or dried autumn flowers. Eyebrows, eyes, and lips can also be cut from the leaves.

The picture looks voluminous and interesting. By the way, the face can be in profile. Then from the leaves you can depict hair fluttering in the wind.

The principle of work of the craft is the same, only now it is not a hairstyle that is created, but a dress or a fluffy skirt. For crafts you will need:

• cardboard, can be colored, but light and contrasting in color to the foliage;
• black colored paper;
• PVA glue;
• dry leaves.

On black paper, you need to draw a woman's silhouette to the waist, cut and glue to cardboard so that there is room for a skirt.You can print the template from the internet.

Next, a skirt should be formed from the leaves. You need to start from the lower tiers. For this, it is better to use larger leaves, and leave small ones for the top.

Instead of dry leaves, you can use colored paper. To do this, you need to cut out leaves according to a pattern or squares that can be folded like an accordion from the corner. The leaves themselves can also be slightly crumpled to add texture. Further, the craft "Girl-Autumn" is carried out in the same way as with leaves: a wreath, a hairstyle or a dress is formed.

Crafts made using the quilling technique (paper rolling) look interesting. The paper is rolled into ovals with sharp ends, leaves are formed. The picture turns out to be voluminous, beautiful, but not suitable for a kindergarten, as it is quite difficult for hands with insufficiently developed motor skills.

To work you will need:

• double-sided colored paper;
• PVA glue;
• quilling handle;
• tweezers;
• white cardboard.

Work in stages.

• You need to draw a silhouette of a woman or a face on the cardboard. You can use ready-made templates.
• Next, make bright "leaves" of colored paper. To do this, cut it into narrow strips 5 mm wide and about 30 cm long or use them ready for quilling work.
• The quilling pen is a narrow fork on which the paper will be wound. It is inexpensive, so for convenience it is better to purchase it, and not use various improvised means - a needle or a toothpick.
• A strip of paper should be twisted onto a fork, and then released slightly so that the spiral unfolds to the desired diameter. Fix the outer edge with glue, otherwise the strip will completely dissolve. Twist the inner part tighter so that there is no empty space. After that, the edges are folded with hands on one or both sides to shape the leaf. To get oblong spirals, you can use a narrow ruler.
• Glue the details on PVA to the cardboard in such a way that you get a picture, as in the application.

You can make a voluminous craft. To work you will need:

• 2 sheets of white thick paper;
• colored paper;
• pencils or markers;
• glue;
• scissors.

It is necessary to form a cone from a white sheet, which will be the body of the doll. Next, cut colored leaves from colored paper, stick them on a cone, forming a dress.

From the second sheet of paper, cut out a circle that will serve as a head and a pair of arms. Draw a face on the circle, make a hairstyle from colored paper, for example, braids from stripes or small leaves. Glue the head and hands to the cone. The doll is ready.

This craft is more complicated, but perfect for a school competition. For work you will need:

• doll;
• PVA glue;
• paper;
• dry leaves and other gifts of the forest;
• base for crafts, you can take plywood or thick cardboard.

Any old doll with intact hands and no face is suitable for work. The absence of legs is allowed, as they will be hidden by a skirt. The doll should be well kept upright, so you should take care of the stand.

Paper in the form of a skirt is glued to the body, it is possible with a train. If the face is not heavily painted, its features can be corrected with acrylic paints.

As a doll, you can use an old Barbie or buy a new cheap one. It is better to make a skirt for her from a plastic bottle, especially if the doll has no legs. To do this, cut off the neck of the bottle so that the diameter of the hole coincides with the waist circumference of the doll, otherwise it will fall through. And in order for the doll to easily fit into the plastic crinoline, you need to make a vertical cut. If necessary, the doll can be glued to the bottle.

Next, we form a corset from the leaves. To do this, small leaves should be glued to the doll's torso.Next, decorate the skirt with leaves, starting from the bottom, to get a cascade. In order for the leaves to better attach to the plastic bottle, you must first walk along its surface with fine sandpaper or treat it with a primer. As the latter, you can use slightly diluted PVA glue, let it dry.
