Crafts "Autumn basket"

With the onset of autumn, the season for making various crafts on the autumn theme begins. A large amount of diverse natural material appears in parks and squares, which gives a wide scope for creativity. During this period, products created using natural materials are very popular. Crafts made are of incredible beauty.

We have prepared several interesting master classes on making an autumn basket from various natural materials and improvised means of varying technical complexity for children of preschool and school age.

An excellent option for an autumn exhibition in a kindergarten or school would be making the craft "Autumn basket" from clothespins. Preschoolers will not be able to cope with such a task on their own; the help of their parents will be required here. The process itself will easily captivate both adults and children, and the result will pleasantly surprise.

In order to make such a composition, you will need the following materials:

• small flower pot;

• clothespins made of wood;

• thermal gun;

• saucer;

• twine;

• dense wire that bends easily;

• scissors;

• a variety of natural materials (cones, acorns, leaves, etc.);

• artificial decor (mushrooms, berries, fruits);

• cardboard.

Manufacturing stages.

• Cut out a circle from cardboard to the size of the bottom of the pot. We glue the resulting blank to the pot.

• Divide the clothespins into two parts. We begin to glue the outer walls of the pot with them around the entire perimeter.

• Bend a piece of wire on both sides. We fix one side on the saucer with a heat gun so that the wire is perpendicular to the plate.We put the second bent end (upper) on the pot and fix it with hot glue.

• And now let's get down to the most interesting thing - the design of the basket. With the help of a thermal gun, we fix decorative elements at our discretion. Try to place all items tightly so that there are no large gaps between them.

Our rich autumn basket is ready! A real work of art!

You can decorate the interior of any room with a homemade autumn pumpkin basket, which turns out to be incredibly beautiful. Such a composition can be made as a craft on the theme "Autumn".

Before you start creating crafts, you need to study the recommendations for working with a pumpkin. Here are the most important ones.

1. Use the pumpkin tool with a long blade.

2. Remove the pulp with a spoon.

3. After removing the insides of the pumpkin, it must be dried. To do this, we use sheets of paper or newspaper, which will absorb excess moisture.

4. You can use an awl to make any holes in the vegetable.

To create an autumn pumpkin basket, you need to prepare the following materials:

• pumpkin;

• long blade knife;

• large spoon;

• awl;

• various twigs with leaves;

• artificial flowers;

• rowan clusters;

• natural or artificial fruits.

• newspaper or unnecessary sheets of paper;

• thermal gun;

• marker.

Manufacturing stages.

1. We choose a thick-skinned pumpkin for crafts, without external damage and stains.

2. With a marker, draw a knurled handle. And also mark the places where it will end, then draw teeth around the perimeter.

3. Carefully cut out the basket using a knife. Take out all the pulp with a spoon. We dry the inside of the pumpkin with a newspaper to exclude the possibility of rotting of the vegetable. We take out the newspaper only when it is completely dry.

4. Let's start decorating our basket. We fill it with all kinds of fruits, decorate with green twigs and flowers. If you are making a basket for an exhibition, replace the fruits and flowers with artificial ones so that they do not start to rot. Fix them using a heat gun. Use rowan bunches to decorate the handle.
