How to make a landscape from leaves. How to make a panel of autumn leaves with your own hands

Collecting beautiful leaves on a fine autumn day is a most exciting activity. And when you return home, you want to somehow preserve this splendor or use it to create something beautiful - the material simply begs for it! The most interesting thing is to make various compositions and applications from colorful autumn leaves. This type of creativity develops the child’s fantasy and imagination. In it, images can be created from ready-made shapes by simply placing them on top of each other, rather than cutting them out of paper. And the color palette of leaf fall will put any largest set of colored paper to shame!

YOU WILL NEED:
Colorful autumn leaves
Multi-colored cardboard or velvet paper
PVA glue (you can use starch glue or rubber glue)
Brush
Scissors
Tweezers
Oilcloth

DRYING AUTUMN LEAVES

Applications can be made from either freshly picked or dried leaves. If you want to preserve the leaves, two drying methods can be recommended.

The first, well-known, method is to insert leaves between the pages of an old unnecessary book. It is better to lay each leaf on both sides with a paper napkin.

The second method is express drying of the leaves using an iron. Just remember that the leaves are not sterile, so it is better to iron them on a surface that you don’t mind throwing away later, for example, on large sheets of paper. You also need to place a sheet of newsprint or a paper napkin on top of the sheet before ironing.

AUTUMN LEAVE APPLICATION TECHNIQUE

Before you start work, cover the table with oilcloth so as not to stain it with glue. Prepare the base - a sheet of cardboard, collected leaves, scissors, glue, tweezers.

First you need to come up with a future picture. Then arrange it on a separate sheet of paper. And only then start gluing the individual leaf parts to the base. It is best to apply the glue in droplets along the edges. If you apply glue to the entire surface of the sheet, it will warp when the application dries.

The finished picture should be placed under a press for one or two days.

Don't forget to frame it!

TYPES OF APPLICATIONS

Overlay applique. Try to start by coming up with pictures that do not require cutting out any details from the leaves, but are created by overlaying the leaves. You can come up with a lot of such pictures: butterflies, mushrooms, chickens and other birds... The missing elements can be drawn in with a felt-tip pen or made from other natural materials.

Having mastered simple pictures, children can begin to come up with multi-tiered images. In this technique, leaves are glued on top of each other in layers. The application will turn out bright and cheerful if the leaves are different in color.

Silhouette applique.

In this type of appliqué, excess parts of the leaf are cut off so that the result is exactly what the little artist intended.

Modular application (mosaic).

Using this technique, a picture is created by gluing many leaves of the same or similar shape and size (or, for example, maple seeds). This way you can make the scales of a fish, the tail of a cockerel or a firebird.

13.

Symmetrical applique.

It is used to create individual images or entire paintings with a symmetrical structure, as well as to obtain two completely identical images (for example, reflection in water). To do this, you need to select similar leaves to get an image with its “reflection” or symmetrical in itself (“Butterfly”, “Dragonfly”, “Landscape with a lake”, “Boat on the river”).

14.

15.

Ribbon applique- a type of symmetrical applique.

Its difference is that it allows you to get not one or two, but many identical images - ornaments. You get a whole “round dance” of trees, flowers, mushrooms, butterflies, etc.

In conclusion, here is a small selection of pictures collected from different parts of the Internet - to awaken the first associations in you and your baby. One has only to show the child how this is done, and his imagination will allow him to create more and more pictures from this amazingly beautiful natural material - autumn leaves!

Handicraft master class "Landscape of autumn leaves"

I'm trying to reach timid souls
Tell your students:
In the hands of skilled people, maybe even
Dry branch bloom.
I teach you to take Nature as a co-author,
After all, we all originate from it.
Art that serves the people
She rocked it in her hands.

To work in floristry techniques, you need to dry leaves, flowers, inflorescences, and herbs. To do this, use a stack of old newspapers. The material to be dried is laid out between layers of newspapers and placed under a press. To ensure that parts of the plants do not lose their color, after 3-4 days they need to be transferred between layers of new newspapers.
For landscape work we will need:
- dried leaves of corn, birch, willow and other trees, twigs of wormwood, a large poplar leaf, woody lichen;
- a sheet of blue matte cardboard (it doesn’t stick well to glossy material),
- a sheet of tracing paper,
- scissors, PVA glue,
- a clean cloth.

Hello dear friends! Putting my decorations aside, I decided to relax a little and plunge into the world of my favorite floristry. It's golden autumn outside and I have brought out for you a new variety of roses with the same name "Golden Autumn"))).

Of course, this is not a real rose, but a rose made from leaves. I use aspen leaves because they look the most like rose petals. In floristry, flowers collected in this way are called glamelia. For those who are not familiar with this name, let me explain: this is when a large flower is collected from individual flower petals (roses, lilies, gladiolus, etc.), each of which is planted on a wire.

And so let's get started.

We will need:

1.Aspen leaves of different sizes and different colors

2. Thin wire, I use floral broth

3. Floral tape

4 Scissors

First you need to select about 30-35 leaves of different colors, increasing evenly. They must be fresh (it is much more difficult to work with dried leaves), clean (if the leaves are dusty, rinse them under water)

We’ve chosen it, okay, now we need to cut off the petiole from each leaf.

Now let’s prepare the wire by cutting it into 8-10cm pieces in an amount equal to our leaves.

Now prepare the tape, tear 4-5 cm pieces in the same quantity as the wire

Great, now let's get down to work.

I start from the largest petal. We take the largest leaf and thread a wire through it, about 0.5-0.7 cm from the bottom edge

We bend the wire, doing everything very carefully so as not to tear the sheet.

Now take the tape and place one end on the wire from the front side and pinch the whole thing between your fingers. Under the warmth of your hands, the tape will slightly stick to the leaf

Now we need to wrap the entire wire with tape. To do this, we begin to slightly stretch and wrap the base of the leaf and the wire stem with tape.

This is what you should get (front side)

Wrong side

To make sure that everything is done correctly, turn the leaf horizontally, it should adhere tightly to our artificial cuttings

Thus, we make cuttings for the remaining leaves, except for the smallest one.

Now take the smallest leaf

Roll the piece of paper into a narrow envelope

Take the wire and pierce all layers of the envelope

bend the wire as on the other sheets

We take the tape and wrap our cutting

Here are all our future rose petals

Well, the first stage is finished, let's start assembling

We take the core and the leaf next to it in size (we slightly bend the leaf at the base of the cutting to the back, the looseness of the rose depends on the angle of the bend, the larger the angle, the more blooming the rose will be)

We apply it to the core, as if wrapping it. We place the cuttings strictly PARALLEL

We take the next leaf and place it on the opposite side of the second petal (we have the core of the first leaf), as if trying to wrap the edges of the second

When all the petals are collected, you need to turn our flower over and secure the stem; to do this, wrap the stem with tape

Here's what we got

When the leaves dry they will curl up and the rose will become more curly, something like this, this is a rose I made last fall

You can make any number of these flowers, in different sizes and colors.

How to use this is a matter of taste.

I made 2 panels from these roses (sorry for the photo quality)

To make roses look more glossy, you can spray them with hairspray

Oshibana is an ancient art of Japan. The available master classes allow you to quickly master this technique, and you will be able to create beautiful paintings from flowers.

What is an error?

• dried flowers;
• dried leaves;
• grass;
• tree branches;
• seeds;
• fruit;
• Poplar fluff;
• sometimes - dried fruits and vegetables.

Replace the paper with fresh paper daily to allow the plants to dry out. And remove the damp ones.

A distinctive feature of oshibana is that plant materials practically retain their original color and do not fade. This is achieved by pumping out the air between the work and the glass covering it. In such a vacuum, the material is better preserved. Now you can also buy various devices in the form of mini-pumps from us to apply this technique and make your work durable.

Oshibana - master class on painting with flowers

• dried pansy flowers;
• dried leaves;
• PVA glue;
• tassels;
• tweezers;
• sheet of cardboard;
• White paper.

Very carefully, using tweezers and a thin brush, you will transfer the pansies coated with glue to the prepared place. Blot excess glue with a napkin.

In another part of the composition there is a butterfly. Make her wings from reddish aspen leaves, and draw her body with black gouache. Using the same composition, make the edging for the wings.

Once the glue has dried, you can frame the picture. If you want, you can first coat it with varnish.

How to make a flower decoration with your own hands - technique

• epoxy resin;
• dried plant;
• accessories.

1. You can use a stencil or take a medallion blank into which you will pour resin. First, prepare this substance as written in the instructions for this material.
2. If you are using a stencil, then place it on a flat, clean surface, covering it with a file on top. Then you can pour epoxy resin here in small portions and distribute it with a toothpick. Now it is very important to prevent dust and dirt from getting on the wet surface. To do this, cover it with a lid on top.
3. When the resin dries a little, put the prepared dried flower in it and fill it with resin on top. Then this semi-finished product must also be covered with a lid to prevent dust from entering.
4. When the medallion is dry but still pliable, make a hole at the top with an awl to insert the fittings here. Attach a chain to it to wear this beauty around your neck.

If you decide to get serious about creating jewelry from flowers and resin, then you can buy special molds, which will make the work easier.

Paintings from oshibana flowers: easy master classes for beginners

To carry out the work, you need to prepare the following materials:

• photograph of a person;
• colored paper;
• scissors;
• glue;
• dried flowers and leaves;
• tinsel;
• colored pencils or paints;
• sheet of cardboard;
• frame.

1. If you want to dress the heroine of the portrait at your own discretion, for example, so that the dress is antique, then you will need to cut it out of paper of the desired color. But first draw its outlines.
2. Glue the portrait to the top of the picture, and the dress below. Arrange dried small flowers in a bouquet, glue its elements so that the heroine of the composition holds this beauty.
3. Oshibana allows you to create outfit details, for example, this hat. It consists of one large leaf, small flowers and stems. You can decorate your headdress with a piece of fur or feathers.
4. You can also create a beautiful skirt from flowers. You can take tulips for this. Make a tinsel trim. Glue various flower or paper decorations onto the panel.

1. To do this job, you will need to first dry iris petals, pansies, and various other small flowers. Draw the outlines of the future beauty on cardboard with a simple pencil.
2. Taking the iris leaves, glue them to the appropriate place. You can also cut out the back for the top of the dress from iris. The sleeves are created from lighter petals, you can even use roses.
3. Make a head decoration from pansies. Place smaller flowers in the girl's hands to make a bouquet. You can use the same composition idea as in the photograph. Where the girl seems to be looking in the mirror, so she is illuminated from two angles.

You can also create a magical fairy using the oshibana technique. She is almost entirely made of flowers, even her butterfly. Draw the facial features with a colored pencil, and also use a brown pencil to draw the body of the insect.

The art of oshibana is the use of other materials. For example, you can take birch bark, remove the top layer from it and apply it. Look how beautiful the roofs of the houses will be.

Painting made from natural materials

1. White - from the leaves of thin corn cobs.
2. Gray - from silver poplar leaves.

• PVA glue, but not stationery glue, but for working with wood;
• cardboard;
• tweezers;
• scalpel;
• brush;
• scissors.

Floral painting - technique

Trees and shrubs will bloom in spring. Don't miss this time. Hurry up to collect fallen flowers to use them in paintings.

Look how wonderful the cherry blossoms look. It will be enough just to dry them and you can create such a floral composition using the oshibana technique. First, take cardboard of a darker color, for example, blue. Then the white petals will be clearly visible against this background.

You will make buds that have not yet opened from petals, which need to be cut to the shape of a given part of the plant, or take real buds.

You can take pelargonium flowers, which retain their original color for a long time. But dry them as quickly as possible to avoid losing their vibrant color.

DIY painting “Mill” made from natural materials

• tweezers;
• scissors;
• medical syringe without a needle;
• sharp knives, like a scalpel;
• gouache;
• watermelon seeds;
• pieces of apple and cherry bark;
• bamboo sticks for frame;
• small pebbles, sea sand, crushed stone;
• thin tree branches;
• fine vegetable mesh.

Mix blue gouache and glue in a ratio of 1:10 and apply this solution with a sponge to the base. Use burlap as a base, gluing it to cardboard.

That's what it is - an error that allows you to make amazing paintings from flowers and other natural materials. It is interesting to watch the creation of such works

We invite you to see how a painting is created using the oshibana technique.

Panel “Sunny Bouquet”. Master class with step-by-step do-it-yourself photos for children over 6 years old.

Panels using natural materials

Flowers are a miracle created by nature. There are no ugly flowers. They are all different - large and small, magnificent and graceful, colorful and strict. We decided to create flowers from dried leaves. Having selected the leaves according to color and shape, we made the “Sunny Bouquet” panel.

I asked Lera why she decided to call the panel that. Without hesitation, she replied that the leaves and flowers are so bright, they shine so much that they look like the sun.
A bouquet of flowers - what could be more wonderful,
What could be more tender and desirable!?
A bouquet of flowers can only be compared with a song,
With that song that I can't forget.
