Crafts "Wood" from paper

Craft "Wood" made of paper is quite simple, children of different ages, even preschoolers, junior high school students, can do it with their own hands. In the article we will look at how to make an autumn tree for children from cardboard and colored paper, with leaves, an accordion and other options.

Paper crafts have always been a great subject for creativity. Children are always interested in learning something new, trying different techniques and materials. One of the favorite activities, for example, of preschoolers, will be cutting out parts of various shapes from paper with scissors, gluing them and sticking them onto a picture. The principle of making a classic paper tree is based on this.

So, the tree template is a circle with a trunk inside it. This detail is a kind of coloring that you can paint yourself in any colors, depending on your idea.

We will need for work:

• paper for printer;
• sample;
• felt-tip pens;
• scissors;
• glue stick.

Templates must be printed on a printer - 4 of them are needed. After that, they need to be painted in the selected color scheme. In this case, the trunk should always be brown. Cut and fold the finished color templates in half. The halves must be glued together. The tree is ready!

To make a three-dimensional tree with leaves, you can also use templates.These will be separate templates for both the tree trunk and the leaves. The barrel should look as realistic as possible. To complete such a craft, you need to take:

• 4 sheets of brown cardboard for the trunk;
• 2 sheets of green cardboard for the leaves (the color can be yellow, orange, and red);
• scissors;
• simple pencil;
• glue.

Templates must be printed on a printer. Moreover, you can either use a ready-made example, or draw a template yourself. To do this, you first need to bend the sheet in half so that the trunk is symmetrical. Transfer the finished barrel template onto brown cardboard. Carefully cut out the blanks, bend each in half along the center line. First we glue the blanks in pairs, align the adjacent halves with each other very carefully, then we connect both resulting parts. Thus, you should get a volumetric base of the tree, which is made up of 4 sectors. In this case, all branches and roots must be glued as carefully as possible for the strength of the structure.

The most beloved stage by all is decorating the tree with leaves. They need to be cut out of paper. They will be in any color that the creator of the craft likes. You can make them in different shades of the same color, for example, green, or decorate the tree with bright autumn leaves. It remains to stick them on branches to fill in the empty space and get a lush tree. At the same time, it is quite stable, and it can be used for playing.

There are a lot of options for making wood with your own hands. Let's dwell on the most popular ones.

A tree can be made from crumpled paper. This is a rather unusual technique. The peculiarity of this product is that we will take a paper bag as a basis.

• We take a paper bag and cut it in the upper part into strips in the form of straws. At the same time, we do not touch its lower part.
• We put it, holding it by the bottom, we twist it. For added strength, you can apply a small amount of glue to the bag before curling the paper to keep it from opening.
• Then we also twist the cut pieces of several pieces together, the glue can be applied to them too. In this way, continue twisting until all the parts are sufficiently twisted.
• The trunk is ready, it remains to prepare the leaves. To do this, you just need to tear pieces of colored paper with your hands and glue them to the branches. Several leaves can be glued to the root part to depict the effect of fallen leaves.

The easiest way is to make the tree an accordion.

• Fold a sheet of A4 paper with an accordion. Smooth it out. After that, you will need to fold it in half, combine and glue the edges. You will get a round crown. It can be decorated to your liking: leaves, snowflakes, apples and something else that you have enough imagination for.
• The trunk is made of cardboard. The tree can even be put.
