Bean crafts

There is no limit to human fantasy. If you have everything you need, even from beans you can make interesting crafts, which will surely become an excellent addition to modern decor.

DIY crafts on the theme of autumn are a great idea for children and their parents who decide to spend time together in this way.

Many have heard this word - "bonsai". But not everyone can buy such a decor for their home, since its cost is often too high. Why not do it yourself. You can make such a tree from beans and other scrap materials.

To work you will need:

• flower pot;
• beans (it is better if it is of a red variety);
• balloon;
• a skein of thread;
• silicate type glue;
• tree branch;
• varnish for wood;
• silicone type glue;
• small brush.

The manufacturing process takes little time and consists of only a few stages.

• First, ask your child to inflate the balloon.
• The threads in a skein must be well moistened in glue and then wound on a ball. This should be done as tightly as possible.
• Now you need to wait until the glue dries and the threads take the required shape.
• The ball must be lowered, if it just burst, then under pressure it will damage the frame.
• The beans are laid out on the table. They take silicone glue and spread it abundantly on each one, then put it on a thread form.
• It is better when the frame matches the color of the beans, since they do not fit tightly to each other, and the gaps will still remain.
• It is better to start laying beans from the top of the head.
• The glue should dry well, but for now you can varnish the branch.
• Now we put the crown on a branch, put the tree in a pot and fix it there.Large pebbles are ideal for this.

In creative workshops, different paintings are made from beans. There are crafts made from red, white and even purple beans. Sometimes it is combined with peas.

A good master class will teach you how to quickly make a picture of beans with a hedgehog or a snake at home. The panel with cats looks very nice. For work it is worth preparing:

• two types of beans (light and dark);
• a frame into which the picture can then be inserted;
• glue "moment";
• paints;
• pencil (regular black).

Before you start laying out the beans in the form of a picture, you will need to make a sketch of the future picture. For this, the frame must be with a canvas. It is advisable that it was not cardboard, but a piece of plywood.

• Inside we draw two cats sitting against the background of the moon or sunset, here as anyone wants. To apply the contour, we use the prepared pencil. You can use a small saucer to draw a circular outline around it. It will turn out smoother and faster.
• Figures of cats can also be found on the Internet, make stencils out of them. The main thing is that even the thinnest parts of the animals are not less than the thickness of one bean, otherwise it will turn out unevenly.
• The drawing we got on plywood is now painted over with white and black paint. In our case, the cats are black, the sun is white and the rest of the background is black.
• It's time to work with legumes. The beans are glued one at a time. First, they work along the contour, and only then the middle is filled.
• In order for the panel to turn out with even contours, you will need to sort out the ornamental material and put aside beans of different sizes in separate piles.
• We fix the work with varnish. It is best sprayed from a spray bottle. So it lays down more evenly and covers the panel even in small gaps between the beans.

The principle by which bean mosaics are created is very simple. You can use fruits of different colors, including peas, lentils, and even mung bean.

Panels with birds are considered one of the most popular, especially when a child is attracted to creativity. This form is easy to work with.

• As a basis for creativity, we prepare a small piece of thick cardboard or plywood. We draw on the material the contour of the future bird, whether it is an owl or a goose - it does not matter. No special artistic talent is required from the master.
• Today the Internet has everything you need for creativity. Any outline can be printed on a printer, copied through a computer screen, and then cut out on paper to be used in a painting.
• The body fills up first. For this, large beans are used. Then the head is closed and the eyes are laid out from the peas.
• If you wish, you can cover the ornamental material with acrylic paint of the required shade.

Pictures with mushrooms are very easy for children. For creativity you need to have at hand:

• plasticine of different shades;
• cardboard or plywood;
• mushroom stencil;
• rice;
• beans;
• the leaves are dry;
• colored paper.

First of all, a child, if he is engaged in a craft, should draw a stencil around the contour of the future mushroom. To do this, lay the blank on the cardboard.

Now you need to warm up the plasticine so that it becomes more plastic and pliable. Brown is applied to the cap, spreading well over the available area. The leg is coated with white plasticine. It is imperative that the layer is not too thin, otherwise the beans will simply not stick to the surface of the cardboard.

There are many other options for how to make beans for school, kindergarten, or just as decoration in an apartment.

It is easy and simple to arrange a house and a path to it, a well on cardboard. All handicrafts made from decorative beans are unusual in texture. Autumn motives will ideally fit into a bathhouse or winter garden.

Beans can be used to decorate Easter eggs, which will take pride of place on the table.

• To do this, you first need to boil the egg.
• Sprinkle beans on the table. We take it by its flat back and spread glue on the place from which a sprout usually appears during germination.
• We lay in this way the grains over the entire surface of the egg.

It turns out an unusual sphere with an original texture. This decor looks very unusual and exciting.

If a master class is held for a child, then it is worth making a panel with a house with him. The process resembles the previous descriptions in the article.

First, a sketch is made on cardboard, then they just start working with ornamental material. Before giving the child glue, it is worth explaining how to work with it correctly. It is best to protect your baby's hands and wear gloves.

The advantage of working with legumes is versatility, safety, great opportunities for imagination. However, it is worth remembering about safety precautions. If the work is carried out with a child under 5 years old, then it is imperative to make sure that he does not swallow the beans or use them in any other way for other purposes.
