How to store natural materials
If you properly store natural materials collected in the fall, they will be suitable for use until next summer. All fragile herbs and flowers should be placed in a hard-sided box. This way they will remain unharmed and no dust will appear on their surface.
You don’t have to stand on ceremony with snags and twigs - they can even lie on a shelf. Nice place there is also a storage room for them where they can be hung.
Storing flowers and plants
Chestnuts, acorns and cones should not be poured into a common container. They need to be placed in boxes or paper bags. They will start to mold in plastic bags.
If you decide to prepare fruit seeds, you will need a paper bag. You can do it yourself - roll up an A4 sheet and secure its edges with a stapler. Pebbles and shells can be placed in glass jar, which is tightly closed with a lid.
Outside the window, autumn has already arrived and everything around has begun to be covered with beautiful multi-colored fallen leaves. And before the rain turns this beauty into a wet mess, it’s time to get creative! Especially if your child comes home from kindergarten or school with an assignment to make an autumn-themed craft.

DIY autumn wreath of acorns “Breath of Autumn”
Bright autumn colors sink into the soul for a long time. Let's create an autumn wreath of acorns with our own hands to prolong the autumn mood. Made from natural materials, it will look even more interesting.

A DIY autumn wreath of acorns will be original and stylish decoration any interior.
Autumn craft with leaves “Pear on a plate”
A herbarium of leaves collected in the fall is a whole wealth and raw material for children's crafts. You can come up with a lot of options for using such natural material. Since it is necessary to practice creative activities on creating unusual figures with children, we suggest you interesting idea for creativity.
Only work with dried and fragile material should be done very carefully.
By practicing such activities, children will eventually independently learn to think creatively and notice the amazing features of natural objects.
If your soul wants something original, we suggest creating an autumn flower arrangement. Namely, the bouquet “Autumn Mood”.
The product consists of two elements – a vase and flowers.
For flowers we need:
- leaves of different sizes and colors;
- glue gun;
- wire or thin twigs (for the stem);
- scissors, pliers (for wire).
Be careful with the glue gun if you are doing leaf crafts with your child. It’s better to trust your child to select the leaves, arrange them by color, cut them and serve them to you.
As it turns out, leaves with slightly curved edges produce more realistic roses ( green flower). Try to curl the edges of the leaves to avoid any petals sticking out. Large leaves can be cut in half. For a rose 8-10 cm in diameter, you will need 15-20 leaf fragments measuring 5-6 cm.
Progress:
1. Take the wire and bend the edge.
2. We begin to form a rose from leaves and their fragments. We wrap the first sheet around the eye of the wire and secure it well with glue. We continue to glue the leaves in a circle, filling the empty spaces.
3. The bottom row is the sepals. Take 5 leaves of small size and contrasting color. Glue it in a circle, thereby covering all the “insides” of the flower. In the photo you can see small red leaves under green petals - these are the sepals.
4. Stem finished flower You can wrap it with floral tape and tie a few leaves to the stem. If you are using twigs, simply glue a couple of leaves along the stem of the flower. The autumn rose is ready.
To form a beautiful bouquet you will need several flowers - 3,5,7. Try to make them different in both color and size. It will look more colorful this way. You can fit several buds into the composition. They will help fill empty spaces in a flower arrangement.
Vase for autumn bouquet
For a themed vase you will need any small bottle (glass or plastic), twine, a couple of acorns or hazelnuts. And, of course, a glue gun or any other glue. We wrap the bottle with thread, periodically securing the result with glue. We attach nuts or acorns to a small piece of twine using glue. We tie the result on a vase.
If you had a bottle big size, you can decorate it with an applique made from halves of a nut shell or from any cereal at all. Instruct your child to come up with something to decorate the vase with. Direct his imagination in the right direction.
Now you can form from flowers beautiful bouquet and put it in a vase. It will be more convenient if the height of the stem of each flower is different. You can fill the space in several tiers.
Such crafts made from autumn leaves can become not only original decoration any interior, but will also help you win at any school exhibition.
Nature itself suggests thousands of ideas. You don’t need to be an experienced craftsman to create a unique decoration for your home filled with warmth and care with your own hands. And kids are happy to participate in the creative process and make amazing crafts just like adults. Master class - how to make one - read here.

How to make a toy Autumn goddess from fabric
Doing something with your own hands is so fun and interesting. Well, if it also turns out beautifully, then such toys simply have no price. You come to an exhibition of handmade products and your eyes just widen. Let's try to reveal some of the secrets of the masters and consider the method of making the goddess of Autumn, which you can give to children or hang on the wall in your home.
So, we will need: acrylic paints on fabric (with gold and silver jars), a set of tassels, cotton fabric, filler, thread and needle.
Step one. Making a layout
In the layout we have to figure out what our toy will look like. At this stage we make an initial sketch, then a pattern, and sew the parts together.
Our autumn is sewn from a single piece of material. You just need to make her legs and one arm separately (the arm is cut out from another piece of fabric and sewn on top of the product). When all this is ready, you need to fill the toy with cotton wool or other material and sew up all the holes.
Step two. Time for creativity
Now we must draw our autumn goddess. You can completely repeat that drawing finished product which will be given below. In any case, you should use orange, gold, yellow and red colors, because autumn is rich in these colors.
Our autumn has a big tambourine in her hands, as if she is convening the whole world so that people, animals and animals can rejoice in the last warm days. Next, you need to paint the toy (to make the paint stick better, you can apply PVA glue to the fabric).
Step three. Decorating our toy
You can decorate our beauty endlessly. After all, autumn is unique. You can glue a bead to it, add sparkles - whatever your heart desires. Look what a wonderful autumn we have had. Lovely to watch.

Physalis in pumpkin
Autumn bouquets can be made not only from fresh flowers, but also from oak branches with acorns, sea buckthorn, barberry, rose hips, viburnum, elderberry, rowan, wild grapes, bright physalis lanterns, ears of corn, etc.
Such compositions look great in a pumpkin vase, wicker basket, tin bucket, or clay jug. The vessel can be decorated with ears of corn and decorated with ribbon.
Will-o'-the-wisps
Acorns, birch bark, physalis, hawthorn berries, and small decorative pumpkins will help you decorate candles in an autumn style. Simple thick candles can be wrapped in birch bark or inserted into small pumpkins, where the top is cut off and some of the pulp is removed. Glass candlesticks will look original and festive if you paint them with stained glass paints.
If you drill holes in a thick branch the size of candles, decorate with small pumpkins, pine cones and berries, then an original candlestick for your home is ready.
September wreath
To set the mood, you can weave a wreath on the wall or front door. Flexible branches are suitable for its base. Bet on a vine, straw or wire coat hanger curved into a circle. The hook has been received. It is better to imagine decorative elements with leaves, hop cones, grass panicles, tree branches, grapevines, acorns, rowan berries. In any case, it is convenient to attach it to the base with a heat gun (an alternative fixation is with a thin wire).
Decorate the wreath in an autumn style; fortunately, there are plenty of natural materials - bright leaves, thin branches, vine balls, etc. Or you can hang the leaves from the frame. An old lampshade or wooden staircase is suitable for it.
Leaf fall on the sofa
What could be more pleasant than a cup of aromatic tea, drunk on a sofa with soft pillows and a warm fleece blanket? In textiles, it is better to use soft velvety fabrics of autumn colors (brown-red, bright orange, burgundy, marsala, terracotta, muted green), prints in the form of leaves, vegetables, autumn flowers.
It is convenient to cut out the decor in the form of autumn leaves from thick fabric and sew it to the background with a zigzag. If the leaves are made of felt and the edges do not require additional processing, you can stitch them onto the pillowcase using a regular seam - this will give volume and help create a planned composition.
Acorn frame
Cover a passe-partout made of thick cardboard with felt, decorate it with a bouquet of small decorative elements in autumn style: apples, acorn caps, felt leaves, berries, etc. The bouquet can be made removable, attach a pin to it and use it as a brooch.
Invite the children to cover a cardboard frame with acorn caps, insert a thick piece of plain cardboard or a burlap background inside, glue in a beautiful leaf or any other gift from nature.
What about the holiday table?
Use autumn motifs in table setting. Make napkin clips in the form of an oak bouquet: felt leaves, acorn caps with a soft colored “nut”. Mossy twigs can be collected into a ring and decorated with half a walnut. Don't forget to make small bouquets of oak leaves and berries.

A lot has changed since then. There are more city dwellers than rural residents. But if you still have something to say “thank you” to the past summer, Say goodbye to summer and make fun crafts for the autumn holiday.
Decorating the autumn holiday with crafts
Garlands of autumn leaves
If your holiday takes place within the walls of a kindergarten or junior school, you can let autumn into the corridors and offices and bring in whole heaps of leaves.
Together with your children, make as many garlands as possible from fallen leaves. All you need is a “catch” with autumn walk, needles and strong thread. Alternatively, the leaves can be hung on clothespins.
Children love stringing and are able to cope with this craft for the autumn holiday completely independently. If the garlands are vertical, teach your kids how to make fastenings and hang a heavier bead on the end of the thread so that the garlands are less tangled.
Small garlands can be hung from a hoop (or made into an openwork “dream catcher” using the same hoop), or wrapped around poles or tree trunks.
Forest kings
Wonderful crafts for the autumn holiday - crowns and masks made of leaves. To make a mask, cut out a cardboard base and cover it with leaves, as shown in the master class.
The cardboard base of the crown can be decorated with leaves using a stapler - this is even easier.
Royal food
All participants of the autumn festival - both small and large - will be grateful to you if there is something edible among your crafts. Make caramel apples, “Thrifty Bear” cookies or cute “fly agaric” sandwiches. Most importantly, don’t forget to take pictures of the crafts before you show them to your little friends.
Autumn holiday crafts for exhibition
For the exhibition, dedicated to the holiday autumn, you can make a whole menagerie from natural materials: “cranks” from opened chestnuts, owls and hummingbirds from fir cones, a turtle with a shell surprisingly similar to the real one.
The collection of crafts will be complemented by people made from acorns or tree cuts and tiny boats made from shells - you can put a small toy in them and give it a paddle.
In kindergartens, with the onset of autumn, active work- teachers, together with children, actively use natural materials in classes. After all, you don’t need to purchase it - everything can be collected in the nearest park during a walk or even in your own garden.
Parents are also invited to show their imagination by making “Gifts of Autumn” crafts for kindergarten with their own hands, together with their child. Watching how mom or dad create miracles from the most ordinary vegetables or fruits, the baby will also want to take part in this. Such activities increase perseverance, develop imagination and simply lift the spirits of participants in the creative process.

- Little beauty creators will love working with paints. With their help, you can paint acorns in bright colors and fill a transparent container with them - such an unusual work will undoubtedly attract attention.
- It is easy to make people and animals from acorns collected in green form using toothpicks.

With their help, stunning crafts are created for the garden for the “Gifts of Autumn” exhibition, and if you do them step by step, then even a child will not have any difficulty in the work. For example, ordinary potatoes can be an excellent starting material for various people. Thanks to its round or oval shape, the craftsman already has a blank of the desired shape. All that remains is to think of the scenery.
- On personal plot In addition to edible pumpkin, types of pumpkin are grown that are specially designed by nature for creating crafts. Some of them are very tiny in size and have a variety of bright colors. Taking advantage of this gift from nature, you can create a cheerful pumpkin family.

- Little children will be delighted that from a simple pine cone, a couple of leaves and a piece of plasticine they can make a beautiful swan.
- The pine cones make funny animals, such as squirrels. If there are pieces of chenille (fluffy) wire in the house, then it can be used as legs and a tail, and a pine cone will serve as the body.
- In the area where walnuts grow, you should not throw away their shells, because they are an excellent natural material. By painting them “mushroom-like” and planting them on wooden legs made from twigs, we get a whole mushroom meadow.
- And if you paint the nuts in different colors using gouache and place them in a basket of leaves, it will become an original decoration.
