Volumetric applique on the theme of Autumn
Autumn is accompanied by rains and an attribute that can be found in any apartment is an umbrella. It’s quite simple to depict an umbrella and create a voluminous applique on an autumn theme.
Take a white sheet of paper. Starting from the corner, draw any pattern. You need to cut the corner in a semicircle. We fold the cut out part of the sheet like an accordion.
Glue this part onto a piece of paper
You can draw raindrops on a piece of paper.
You can also use a ready-made template to make an umbrella.
We cut out the template, having previously printed it, and make patterns on it.

How to prepare leaves
In order for the application to be neat and stored for a long time, the leaves must be prepared in advance. Drying in a loose position will not help; as moisture evaporates, the material will curl. Gluing such leaves is much more difficult, as is cutting out even shapes for a modular applique of leaves.
There are two options for drying natural material. You can put the leaves under a press, for example in a large book. But we must take into account that the pages are deformed, even if they are additionally padded with a napkin - the reason is evaporating natural moisture. Such drying is a long process, taking at least a month. Solid large veins should be cut lengthwise in advance so that they dry and do not begin to rot.
Express drying with an iron is much faster. It is enough to place the leaves on a newspaper and iron at medium temperature. In this case, the natural color may be distorted. To prevent this from happening, it is worth drying in several stages and not setting the iron to maximum.
To prevent the material from deteriorating before class, you can store it in a box with salt or rice sprinkled on the bottom. The absorbent will absorb residual moisture and prevent rotting.
Crafts with natural materials
Natural materials can also be used to create applications. Most often, they are collected leaves of various trees, which are perfect for such purposes. For crafts, it is important to choose only the most beautiful ones. This will help improve the quality and beauty of the future product.
Golden autumn
Children need to be taught creative work from a very early age. In kindergarten, for these purposes, various crafts are used from natural material that has been collected and properly dried.
An application on the theme of autumn in the younger group involves the use of multi-colored autumn leaves, which the children themselves chose and brought. It doesn’t matter what size or shape they are. To try to make a beautiful craft, you need to prepare:
- glue and a brush for applying it;
- cardboard or thick paper for the base;
- scissors;
- natural natural materials (leaves, twigs, flowers);
- small decorative elements.
For this craft, it is advisable to collect leaves from different trees. This will not only help make a more beautiful picture, but will also allow educators to teach children to distinguish them from each other.
The golden autumn applique is made following the following sequence of actions:
- First, the children collect the leaves and other natural materials they like.
- Then only the highest quality and most attractive specimens are selected from the total mass. All rotten, dried or damaged leaves are removed and disposed of.
- Selected specimens are laid out on the work surface and dried from excess moisture. It is important not to overdo it, so as not to end up with pieces that are brittle and unsuitable for application.
- After this, a cardboard base is taken and a rectangle of the required size is cut out of it.
- Then the brush is moistened in a jar of glue and the leaves are coated one by one.
- Immediately the image details are attached to the base. This should be done chaotically and in random order.
- The finished composition is transferred to a warm place for the glue to dry completely.
- At the very end, the applique is supplemented with various decorative elements.
