Options for autumn crafts on the theme "Doll"

For a little girl, creating an autumn craft will become much more interesting if the chosen theme is somehow connected with dolls. The finished product can be both flat and voluminous.

For school or kindergarten, it is quite easy to make the "Queen of Autumn" if you use an old Barbie doll or a similar toy that looks like a girl or girl, but by no means a baby as a basis.

In addition to the plastic figurine, you will need dried leaves and flower buds, ribbons, fabric, cardboard or thick paper for work. The main tools for needlework will be scissors and construction glue.

Bright foliage of an unusual shape is pre-dried for a couple of days between the pages of an old book with a weighting agent, or it is processed with an iron with double-sided protection from a couple of sheets of paper. It is important that the plates get rid of excess moisture, but remain mobile. Do the same with individual petals, as well as flat flowers. Bulky buds are dried by hanging their heads down.

To make the craft durable, it is better to treat the leaf blades with paraffin or glycerin. In the first case, a candle is melted on the stove, and as soon as the wax becomes liquid, a leaf is dropped into it. It is important that the paraffin does not boil or become too thick.The plate is immediately removed, turned over and again dipped into the substance on the other side. To dry, the material is laid out on newspaper or white paper.

In the second option, the leaves are left in a solution of glycerin and water, combined in a 1: 2 ratio. After a couple of days, the material can be taken out: it will acquire a beautiful shine, but retain its shape.

The frame of the autumn beauty dress is constructed of cardboard. To do this, a trapezoid is cut out, the upper edge of which will correspond to the waist circumference of the doll, and the lower edge - to the desired hem. The height of the trapezoid is equal to the length of the future product. If desired, the model of the dress can be modified.

The bodice of a cardboard suit is also cut from paper or a material with similar properties. The base of the dress can be fixed to the doll with glue or tape. The sheets can be glued to cardboard with construction glue in any order, or with laying out an ornament or pattern. They are pre-lubricated with a fixing solution on both sides. It is better to decorate the hem with small flowers like chrysanthemums. You can also use larch cones, acorns, seeds, berries and other gifts of nature. The doll looks elegant in a dress, the skirt of which is decorated with golden spikelets.

As additional accessories for the doll, you can use a hat decorated with dried flowers, a basket filled with crops, rowan berry decorations, or a small umbrella made of colorful leaves. To complete the composition on the theme "Golden Autumn" for a toy girl, it is worth preparing an appropriate background. It is worth mentioning that the doll's skirt can also be made from half of a plastic bottle, in the neck of which you will need to fix the upper part of the doll. It will be possible to securely fix the leaves with the help of Moment Crystal glue, and for a cardboard base a mixture of PVA and water, taken in equal proportions, is suitable.

A simple master class allows you to create a real symbol of the autumn season - a corn doll. For work, you will need: a fresh ear of corn, from which you should immediately separate the stigmas and rind, a sprig of autumn berries, a couple of dried physalis fruits, several dried flowers and fresh flowers with a flexible stem, dark beads, glue and a thin wire.

The process begins with the cob wraps being connected to the hem and used to form a fluffy skirt on the cob. The design is fixed on the base with a wire or even a thread, which is immediately masked with dry buds. For example, taking flowers of white and blue shades, the former can be used to form a belt, and the latter can be used to decorate the bodice of the dress and the hem.

The bottom of the suit is also decorated with viburnum or cranberry berries, fixed with threads or polymer glue. Corn silk is used to create the doll's hairstyle. To make it beautiful, some of the strands can be folded back or combed forward in the form of a bang. Finally, a wreath is woven from fresh flowers with flexible stems, ribbons and berries. Dark beads are used to indicate the eyes, while physalis is used to produce noticeable earrings. The head is adorned with a wreath, and a smile from any red fruit is glued to the face.

Crafts depicting an autumn beauty are easy to do and simple on paper. In work, you cannot do without a cardboard base, glue, scissors, colored paper and a large number of dried leaves. First, the girl's face and hand are cut out of a dark sheet, which are then fixed on white cardboard. The silhouette and lush hairstyle of the heroine are made out with the help of multi-colored leaves.

An image of a girl cut from a magazine and fixed on cardboard is also suitable as a basis for work. Leaves, grass, petals, feathers and beads form her hair, dress and background.

By the way, it will be possible to design a funny doll based on a pumpkin. Such a simple master class will be available for implementation even with young children. In addition to the oblong fruit, a rectangular piece of fabric, an album sheet of white paper, yarn that looks like curls, PVA glue and a needle and thread are useful for work. The creative process begins with the eyes: they are drawn on paper and glued to a pumpkin. If desired, eyelashes, eyebrows and ruddy cheeks are immediately drawn on the doll's face.

Next, a mouth and nose, also made of paper, are fixed on the figure with glue. The beauty's hands are cut from the same material. A piece of fabric is wrapped around the pumpkin and lightly stitched at the back. In the front of the dress, you can make a small cutout. Hair of different lengths is formed from brown or beige yarn and glued on the crown one by one. The doll's arms are bent from the side of the shoulder, coated with PVA and hiding under the dress.

An original play doll can also be made from cones. First, a silhouette is formed from natural blanks of different sizes, and then each of them is wrapped in white fabric and tied at the top, leaving a tail. It is important that, at the same time, about 15 centimeters of threads are preserved for tying. Having re-formed the silhouette, but already from the packed cones, it remains to tie their parts in order to hold the figure together. You can even sew them together. Doll hair is obtained by gluing pieces of yarn. Clothes for her are sewn separately.
