The easiest kind of craft

DECOUPAGE from a napkin on a pumpkin.

We take a pumpkin and spray a can of white paint on it (car paint for a dollar and a half). We dry. And then we transfer the picture from the table napkin to the pumpkin ( decoupage technique)

Decoupage is when the pumpkin is smeared with PVA glue and put a thin layer of napkin on the glue - the one on which the picture is, and again apply PVA glue on top and dry. This is a very simple craft for kids. The technique does not cause difficulties even for first-graders. And if you're making a craft for the garden, then help your garden kid arrange a thin, wrinkle-free paper napkin over the surface of a pumpkin that's wet and sticky with glue.

Children's pumpkin craft

PAINTING WITH A MARKER.

The drawing with a black indelible marker looks beautiful and stylish - it is sold in the same department where CD discs are a marker for signing discs. It does not wash off, dries instantly and does not stain hands.

Such a drawing of an owl is created very simply. And you don’t need to be an artist to make this craft from a pumpkin - thanks to small elements and a colorful pattern, all the bumps and crookedness of a novice artist are not visible.

You CAN first apply a drawing with an ordinary thin felt-tip pen (as if training, and erasing unsuccessful lines along the way), and then instruct the children to trace these lines indelible black marker for signing CDs. Patterns consist of simple elements - sticks, arcs, hooks and simple curls that are repeated many times. And therefore, such an autumn children's craft is on the strength of your child.

Crafts "OWL from a pumpkin"

- for the competition in kindergarten and school.

These funny pumpkin and vegetable owls can be made for the exhibition for the school "Autumn Craft with Parents". Owl eyes are made of paper mini cupcake molds. Or from paper coasters from sweets in a box. And if there are no such molds, you can use plastic cups - cut them off low from the bottom and stick them on the glue moment.

Can decorate the eyes of a pumpkin owl with seeds. They are simply glued to plasticine. Or hot glue.

You can cut out the eyes of such an owl craft from cardboard - in the form of a multilayer frame (as in the left photo below).

Or, as eyes on a pumpkin craft, you can attach small patisons (prick them on a wooden skewer and stick them into a pumpkin). And as a beak, you can use small unripe zucchini.

Let your child choose the model of an owl for their children's garden craft.

And some elements of the owl can be cut with a knife. It is more convenient to work with a knife with a short sharp blade.

An owl can also be made from two pumpkins at once - one for the body, the other for the head. For plumage, you can use cutting strips of cardboard, or you can use various vegetables in crafts (orange skins, green skins of hard thick-skinned cucumbers, nut shells, dried apricots, cinnamon tubes, etc.).

Vegetable Garden Craft

PEACOCK BIRD.

Here it is still simpler: from cardboard (or thick felt) we cut out the elements of the head, beak, eyes, beards, paws. You can also cut out the tail, or you can collect beautiful autumn leaves in the park and decorate it like this. leafy plumage the tail of our gourd bird.

You can glue the pumpkin with feathers. You can cut these feathers out of paper if there are no ready-made ones.

And you can also make a very elegant blue peacock, with brilliant plumage and even with real peacock feathers (they can be ordered on the ali-express website for $ 1 and you will receive a whole package, though you need to place an order in advance - the delivery time can be 2 weeks). This craft will be the winner of the competition in kindergarten.

Crafts from pumpkin and vegetables

in the form of ANIMALS.

But the most beloved by children are cute little animals. You can make a monkey out of a pumpkin. Make ears out of cardboard, or from two halves of an apple, potato or small pumpkin.

With the help of white and black paint, you can turn a pumpkin into a panda or a thoroughbred cat. This is the simplest pumpkin craft that you can completely entrust to a child - just mark all the lines with a marker in advance - and let the child decorate. Simple and quick to implement children's autumn crafts.

Or you can buy a can of pink paint and make a funny Piggy pig. Piglet nose is made from potatoes - and pricked on the nose of a pumpkin. You can also duplicate the mount with wooden skewers (prick them on potatoes and stick them in a pumpkin).

But such a bear cub can be made if you have a lot of small pumpkin fruits in your country house. If the pumpkins are of different colors, it doesn’t matter - you can then paint the entire teddy bear in one color. And you can also make a barrel of honey for him, also in the form of pumpkin crafts.

insects you can also make their pumpkins with your own hands - a ladybug. A butterfly, a bee, bugs, a caterpillar can be made from a chain of small pumpkins. The craft is available for the youngest visitors of the kindergarten group.

Wings can be cut from thin file folders - they are just hard and transparent. Cut and paste into a slot on a pumpkin - and it will turn out inexpensively.

CAT AND MOUSE

fun autumn pumpkin crafts.

And this cat and mouse theme can be embodied from a pumpkin in a variety of ways. From a large pumpkin we make a cat. And from small pumpkins, mice with tails and mustaches. Here are a few options on how to make a cat out of a pumpkin.

And here is an interesting idea for an autumn pumpkin craft in the form of a box with kittens. Ears can be cut out from pieces of fabric or cardboard.

And here is another great and simple pumpkin craft idea - CHEESE AND MICE. Just cut round holes in the pumpkin barrel. And we put toy mice in it. To make the hole round, you can cut it out not by hand, but hollow it out with a hammer (we apply a metal cup or tube to the pumpkin - and knock on the other end with a hammer - the tube cuts into the pumpkin and knocks out a round hole).

And mice for such pumpkin cheese crafts can be crocheted - or sewn from rags. Or molded from plasticine.

You can also make a mouse house out of a pumpkin. To such a craft from a pumpkin, you can attach a cross-shaped lattice on the windows, made of twigs-sticks. And make a gate with your own hands (put two sticks HORIZONTALLY - smear them with glue-moment - and quickly lay VERTICAL sticks-boards on these two sticks.

And we make a step ladder according to the same principle as a gate-door.

And since we have already reached the topic of houses, here are a couple more housing ideas for pumpkin crafts.

PUMPKIN HOUSES

children's crafts for the garden and school.

If the pumpkin is elongated in height, then you can make a two-story mansion. With hanging balconies. Decorated with flowers. We cut out balconies from quarters of apples, or quarters of small patissons. Decorate the pumpkin house with flowers and sprigs of decorative dry plants.

But overall it's gorgeous idea for an autumn pumpkin house with brick and stone cladding (photo below). We will make such gray bricks ourselves - from ordinary square BREAD CRUSHERS.

You can buy croutons ready-made in the store, or cut the bread into cubes and dry in the oven. After complete hardening, we paint crackers in WHITE AND GRAY paint. In two bowls we breed paint (gray and white) - - it is better to use acrylic paint, but gouache is also possible. In the paint is a must mix in some flour to make it a mixture thick doughy like pancakes.

Quickly dip into the cracker in sticky paint and set aside. While the croutons are still not wet and sticky, on a smooth board we lay out our PIPE from them .... PORCH and facing of the DOOR PORTAL. And let it dry completely. We fasten the dried elements with glue-moment to the side of the pumpkin (it is possible to cut openings in the pumpkin so that our lining enters them like grooves).

Flour should hold parts of the building together - but if it detaches somewhere, then we fasten it with ordinary moment glue (or hot glue from a gun). It also glues melted caramel perfectly (pour a little water (1 mm) on the bottom of the saucepan, put candy candies and melt them over low heat - it turns out great glue.

We make doors from small twigs and slivers - we connect them with glue, or we put them on a PLASTICINE PLATE.

You can come up with your own model of a FAIRY HOUSE made from a pumpkin. Show imagination. Let your pumpkin craft be the embodiment of the creative power of your brain.

PUMPKIN CRAFTS

And if you buy a can of auto-paint of a noble bronze hue, you can get a chic pumpkin robot.

Or you can make such a funny pumpkin craft in the form of workers who are engaged in carving and crushing pumpkin rock.

In continuation of the theme of HUMANIZATION of pumpkin heads, I offer a few more options worthy of attention. The tail of a pumpkin can be represented as a NOSE. And then you can put glasses on this nose, and pick up other parts of the pumpkin image: an old lampshade, a bathing cap, an old wig from a children's party, pendants from a chandelier, buttons and other trinkets from table drawers.

You can make cute old women with a difficult character out of a pumpkin. You can make a charismatic bespectacled man with a broken nose.

The main thing is not to allow the character to resemble the principal of the school, the head of the kindergarten, or another person respected in the country.

Or pirates with a moderate degree of bloodlust. A pumpkin pirate is a craft that boys will love. They will proudly carry this formidable head to the autumn crafts exhibition at the school. And such a character is simply obligated to take prizes in a school-wide competition.

Such children's autumn crafts from a convenient and large pumpkin vegetable are made very simply. First, draw a picture on paper. Then we press the paper to the side of the pumpkin. And with nail scissors (they are sharper and smaller), we pierce point-holes right through the paper. Thus, the DOTTED LINE of the future drawing is transferred to the pumpkin. Next, with a knife at these points, we make cuts-outlines of the pattern. And then we remove the crust from the pumpkin INSIDE THE BORDERS OF THE PICTURE.

Friends, I greet you!

Autumn is golden, the leaves are falling from the sky... But besides that, there are a lot of vegetables in the garden that need to be disposed of. Adults make blanks for the winter out of them, but I suggest you make crafts. And from one rather large orange fruit, which is called a pumpkin.

At school or kindergarten, teachers always ask something like that, but come up with it, because fairs and exhibitions are ahead. To which students and preschoolers always carry their unusually beautiful and interesting pumpkin crafts.

/page365.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/iz-tikvy-150x108.jpg" target="_blank">https://page365.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/iz-tikvy -150x108.jpg 150w" width="665" />

What young people have not come up with on this topic is the royal carriages, and Jack's head for Halloween, which we all see in the month of November, and many other characters and even figurines. As they say, who cares what.

Of course, you can build something simple or, if you are older and like to make things, then more difficult. In any case, ingenuity and imagination will definitely come in handy. For kindergarten children and elementary school students, I propose to make all sorts of pictures from pumpkin seeds. I saw one of these works on one site, but there, among other things, there are still a lot of new and original ideas. In general, I recommend to go in and see if you can choose something from there.

Crafts from a pumpkin for an exhibition at school

  • white tape
  • wire

Stages:

1. So, create wheels from wire. Which make a round shape, and in the middle to secure the knitting needles, use a circle of plasticine.

And of course, autumn is characterized by foliage and flowers. So why not take advantage of this and create some bouquets. And by the way, last time I showed you in more detail how to keep fresh flowers in a pumpkin for a long time, whoever didn’t read come in

Greetings, my dears! You and I fully plunged into autumn worries: we made preservation for the winter (compotes, jams, pickles). But since September 1, new concerns have come to all homes where there are children. They are connected with kindergarten and school. And I myself know firsthand how unexpected it is to always hear from a tutor or teacher that you need to bring autumn crafts from vegetables or fruits. Because you need to participate in an exhibition on the theme "Autumn". And the care of moms and dads begins. They think what to do so quickly, beautifully and simply. Vegetables and fruits are taken out of the cabinets. Each fruit is carefully selected, and the head of the family goes to the neighbors or simply looks for a suitable idea on the Internet. In general, it is clearly not to be bored.

I want to make this task easier for parents and have made a large selection of photos of different ideas and fruit crafts. There are easier options, but there are also more difficult ones. When you need to collect all your neatness to make it beautiful. But the chance to get some kind of nomination immediately grows.

Thanks in advance to all the parents, grandparents, and siblings who share their creativity on social media and the internet in general. Thanks to your desire to show co-creation on one of those sleepless nights, other parents get a lot of new ideas for their crafts.

Let's look at the options for crafts by type of vegetable. There are a lot of ideas and often, in addition to the fruit itself, you need to take a wire, a toothpick, paper or cloth. You can create a separate character of a fairy tale, or you can make a whole composition.

Crafts from a pumpkin

The easiest way is to make a recognizable character of cartoons and fairy tales. And often all you need is paint. You can also print some elements on the printer and stick on the character.

To your attention a cute minion. Toothpicks are stuck on the top of the head, and instead of handles there is a lace.

The Mouse family also looks very memorable. The ears are made of colored cardboard. And stuck in a pumpkin with skewers for skewers. They are sold in most hardware stores. You can use any thick paint. But, if your craft will delight the children on the street. Then varnish it.


The boys come in to make this ninja turtle. I think that dad will not refuse to help his son in this undertaking.

Simple cute faces that for some reason remind me of the Scarecrow from the fairy tale about the Emerald City.


The creators of the cartoon "Smeshariki" helped us parents a lot. After all, there are as many as ten round characters. They can all be made from vegetables: potatoes, pumpkins or cabbage.

In front of you is Kopatych in a hat with autumn leaves.


Another cute face with sad eyes. All additional details can be made from plasticine or paper. And you can stick them on double-sided tape. To decorate the hat, there are a sunflower flower, artificial and live grass.

By the way, you can use felt for the sides of the hat, eyes and nose.


I also found this wise owl interesting. Instead of eyes, you can use small squash or heads of garlic.

In order for the fake to last longer, the pulp with seeds is removed from it.

More character options. I think that it will take no more than an hour of parental time to make them.

Unusual ideas of black cats, mice and hares also disperse the imagination. No additional tools are needed here, even a knife is not always needed.

These are excellent examples for the development of children's imagination. How to look at an ordinary product and see an animal in it.


If you try a little longer, you can sculpt the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.


Now let's move away from the characters, and move on to the compositions. So pumpkins make very beautiful houses.


These crafts take longer to make, but you can make a fabulous hobbit hole.


And in this house live creatures from bulbs.


For happy parents of daughters, there is an idea that does not depend on time - this is a carriage for Cinderella.


For decoration, you can take absolutely everything: beads, leaves, berries and ribbons.


Another version of the composition is to make a basket or vase for other fruits and flowers. In autumn, there are a lot of different buds: asters, dahlias, gladioli, septembers and others. Let's make an autumn bouquet and put it in a pumpkin vase.


Use ranetki, rowan and different colors of leaves. A bouquet of red, yellow, green and orange leaves will look so beautiful.


Could not pass by this honey lover. I think he looks a lot like Winnie the Pooh.

Well, with a preschooler, you can make a turtle Tortilla from a fairy tale about Pinocchio. You can also use assorted vegetables: carrots and potatoes. Moreover, they are attached in such a way that all environments are covered, which means that the darkened pulp will not be visible and the craft will remain bright and beautiful for a long time.


You can also make duck. Sometimes the very shape of a vegetable reminds us of something. The main thing is to understand what


Look, nature has done everything for us. The main thing is to give the right features and in front of you is already a beautiful goose with beads from rowan berries.

Ideas from zucchini

You can combine vegetables. For example, take a zucchini and a small pumpkin. And from these vegetables, parents were able to come up with such snails.


You make a shape, and let the child decorate the “shell”, make horns and eyes. Yes, there is work for everyone.


And how is such a simple, but very interesting pig?


Or maybe Daddy Pig. The main thing is that he stay on his short legs.


Another version of a pig with ears and a paper tail. And instead of a spout, they attached a half from Kinder eggs.


Found a couple of zucchini whale ideas. See how simple and without unnecessary details. Fins and tail from pea pods, and instead of a fountain of water, you can attach a stem of parsley or dill.


Or you can cut it all out of cardboard, as the authors of this whale did.

For boys, there are ideas for airplanes and ships. By the way, a similar airplane can be made from a cucumber.


And put the crocodile Gena in the pilot's seat. This craft surprised me a little with its red beet star. Oh, and inventors these parents!


Here Gena is from a zucchini, not from a cucumber. And next to it is a pumpkin cheburashka and a squash tree. And the tangerines complete the plot. How can we do without them if we recreate a fairy tale?


How do you like the ship? I think that the child will not want to take him to kindergarten, but will start playing corsairs already at home. Cabbage sails always catch the wind, and carrot rudder never stray off course.


Another idea with Smeshariki who went on a trip in zucchini cars.


You can send such a donkey to the exhibition. He is carrying a basket full of autumn fruits.


My daughter loves the resilient snowman Olaf. Apparently, he won the hearts of many girls, since his parents sculpt him from a zucchini. And how it looks like the original, just a feast for the eyes.


Earlier in the kindergarten we made a penguin. But you can repeat it with vegetables.

You can do simple things that will look like fabulous. For example, such shoes or sandals.

Oh, and here mom obviously tried and reproduced those happy days when her baby was still sleeping in cribs.


Idea with a bunch of cabbage. With the right approach, it turned out to be a duck.


Now let's move on to the blue ones, from which you can make all the ideas that were shown above.

eggplant ideas

The color of eggplant immediately gives a certain direction to fantasy. And I met a lot of varieties of whales, penguins from this vegetable.


See how it looks like real birds. They simply correctly conveyed the habits of these creatures.


Eggplant and potato friends.


Another idea of ​​a penguin from the cartoon "Madagascar". The same fearless gaze and disobedience to fate.

If you know the art of carving (vegetable carving), then you can safely sculpt such a zebra. An important condition here will be the availability of special tools that easily cut the skin and have narrow sharp blades.

The king whale floats on the sea. And your kid will love it.


Is it bad for you to make a poodle? With a bell pepper bow and a cauliflower muzzle.

Another simple craft for kindergarten or elementary school in the form of a helicopter. The propeller is made from carrots and is held together by toothpicks.


Let's move on to the next vegetables.

Several varieties of carrots

Carrots are often used to make parts for other crafts. But it can itself present interesting forms. How do you like a giraffe with matchstick horns? Very cute.


Or a horse with an onion mane. All parts are held on by toothpicks.


Another unusual idea in the form of a goldfish.


from cabbage

From white cabbage you can make cute rabbits or such a baby elephant. Beets are suitable for the head.


Here is another cute animal from two heads of cabbage.


A jumping bunny with cucumber ears will definitely conquer the teacher with her sweet smile. Only it will be somewhat heavy for the child, yet two cabbages.


Here is another rabbit with potato paws. The nose is made from a tomato, and the eyes are made from boiled eggs. They can be replaced with onions.


Cute poodle ideas from cauliflower sprigs.


The inflorescences themselves are very reminiscent of lamb wool. So let's play it back.


Here is a sheep standing on a green meadow.


The muzzle can be made from potatoes, peppers or carrots.


Even champignon mushrooms can serve as a face for a cute animal.


It is a pity that we have already eaten all our cauliflower by cooking.

From corn

An ear of corn in September costs 20 rubles. I think that it can turn out to be a very budget craft. What can be done? Well, for example, a rocket.

Or a horse that grazes on a bow.

Sweet bunny. I apologize for the quality of the photo, but I really liked the idea.


And how do you like the minions in denim sundresses? I think it turned out very funny.

What about this animal? He is very similar to a squirrel.

Only now you need to make sure that the corn is fresh, otherwise the grains may fall out and the craft will not be so neat.

From potatoes

Pigs made from tubers and plasticine are very similar to real pigs.


And, if there is absolutely no time, but there is a healthy sense of humor. Make such a family. After all, the main thing is the idea and presentation, it is the freshness and unusualness of the craft that fascinates.


The bizarre forms of tubers can very much resemble some kind of animal. For example, if you combine two potatoes, you can get such a dog.


Or a heroic horse.


I also found such a funny hippo.


from cucumbers

A little higher we saw a cucumber crocodile, but you can also make a shark.


Continuing the marine theme, I will show you a beautiful killer whale.

Or funny frog princesses.

Well, the cucumber turtle in glasses and a cap will definitely conquer everyone. She will definitely sing now: "Three hundred years ago ..."

Crafts from onions and other vegetables

Now I will show you many more options for interesting crafts. They are made from onion, pepper, sunflower seeds.


Look how funny Luntik turns out.

If you have chestnuts growing, then you can safely make a hedgehog with them.


A beautiful hedgehog can also be made from patisson and toothpicks.

And how do you like the needles on the back of an animal in the form of a sunflower.

Funny bell pepper parrot.


Bell peppers make beautiful tulips.


When only chestnuts are at hand, see how they can be beaten. It turned out an oak from autumn leaves, at the roots of which lie "acorns".


Palms from olives and peppers will also win many hearts at the exhibition.


Dedok from chestnuts and cones is very similar to the goblin.

The plot from the fairy tale about Chipollino with Countess Cherry.

And I also liked the set of different vegetables. Pretty fast, but very interesting and varied.


The eyes are cut out of paper.


There are also many ideas here.



Topiary, magic mugs

I wrote how to make topiary. This idea can also be taken as a basis and made from garlic and hot peppers.

Or chestnuts and rowan berries.

By the way, such crafts can not only be sent to the exhibition, but also left for home decor.

Another idea with a magic bowl. The photographs show artificial fruits, but fresh analogues can also be used.

Agree, such crafts deserve attention.

Queens of autumn

I think that when there is very little time, you can take an ordinary doll as a basis and decorate it with an autumn theme. Add berries and leaves, fruits and flowers.

Make a whole composition After all, the doll will personify Autumn itself.


A fun idea for queens with leaf crowns and watermelon dresses.

And now let's come close to small fruit crafts.

Beautiful and quick do-it-yourself crafts from fruits

Fruits are most often small in size, with the exception of melon and watermelon berries. That's where we'll start our delicious selection.


Minions are very easy to make, so they are sculpted from different types of vegetables and even from watermelon.

The melon bunny is also very cute.

Sweet boat.


A lot of interesting ideas can be found from an apple. It is dense and holds its shape well. But its flesh quickly darkens. To prevent this from happening, the craft can be lowered into a solution of citric acid.



The caterpillar family looks very dignified.

Make funny parrots out of a pear.

Here is a detailed master class for creating them. You will need the pear itself, toothpicks, grapes of any color, and carnation inflorescences.

You can make a panel from pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Why not an autumn craft?


Lemon fish turned out very bright.


Well, the kiwi koala just won me over. Kiwi should be taken hard and sour. Otherwise, all the pulp will flow out.

My dear, but that's not all. Indeed, the fantasies of parents can be simply envied.

Master class of a mouse from a lemon in a kindergarten

For young children, it is difficult to come up with compositions with a lot of decorations and details. I want to offer you to make a little yellow lemon mouse with your baby.


Only mom works with sharp objects. And even a three-year-old kid can insert parts into the slots.

We will need:

  • lemon,
  • 2 inflorescences of cloves,
  • wire or thick thread.

First, cut a quarter of the lemon lengthwise. So we made the base so that the mouse body does not fall. From a small part, we cut the zest so that we have enough for small ears and a tail.

From one edge of the lemon, where we have a sharp tip, we stick a clove. She acts as our eyes.

We make a slot in the peel and insert the ears. Attach the tail to the body with a toothpick.

The antennae can be made with wire by simply piercing the muzzle through. Or you can make them from a thread by stitching a fruit with a needle.

That's the whole craft. Fast and interesting.

Video on making crafts from vegetables

For joint creativity, I picked up two videos. See how a cucumber crocodile is made.

And cute lambs from potatoes.

I thank you for your attention. And I will be glad if you find the right solution here and save your time.

This vegetable, the very look and color of which suggests autumn, is not only tasty and healthy, but also an excellent material for making anything from houses and carriages to lanterns and various figures, so today we will discuss and make pumpkin crafts. The pumpkin has become especially in demand with the Halloween fashion that came to us from the West. Horror stories from it illuminated by candles are an integral part of the entourage of this holiday. But even if you don’t take it into account, it’s just a sin not to cut something for a kindergarten or school from such an ornamental material, even the color of which is bright and joyful adds positive to the gray autumn days.


Crafts from a pumpkin on the theme of autumn

Pumpkins come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. It’s great if you have decorative representatives of this species available, but even if you don’t have them, you can make many different interesting things from what is grown on your own for food or bought on the market. Let's start with the simplest: if you find it difficult to make a lot of curly cutouts, then the simplest option pumpkin autumn crafts- in which you can put a bouquet of flowers, leaves, branches. In the most common round flattened vegetable, it is enough to cut off the top with the stalk and remove the seeds and pulp with a spoon. You can adjust the cut diameter in such a way that you can tightly insert, say, a cut plastic bottle or a canned food can inside, preferably one in which the inner surface is covered with plastic. This is convenient if you are going to put a bouquet of fresh flowers inside, because you can pour water without fear.



A beautiful vase with a neck can be obtained from a bottle gourd or simply from a fruit that has an elongated pear shape. Such a vase can be decorated with carvings on the peel. The pattern can be simple geometric like zigzags, and if someone in the family has artistic talent, then more complicated. Painting with paint is also an option. Moreover, you can use stencils. It does not matter at all if you got the fruit of an asymmetric, irregular shape. Take a closer look at it, turn it in a different way. After all, the vase does not have to be symmetrical at all, the curved shape will allow you to create a more interesting product.


Crafts from a pumpkin to kindergarten


If you decorate a cut of a round vegetable with teeth or make a curly edge, then the resulting bowl can be filled with vegetables and fruits, and also placed there. Just for vegetables, cut off the edge approximately in the middle of the fruit, and for flowers, closer to the top. A little more difficult to depict a basket with a handle, but this is not such a big problem. In this case, it is better to make the bottom from the side of the stem, cutting it off so that the basket is stable, or choose a slightly asymmetrical fruit. How to decorate pumpkin crafts, photo show different decor options. If desired, the product can be decorated with carved or drilled patterns. It is not difficult to make holes with a drill, of course, having previously removed the pulp. To make the pattern more interesting, we use drills of different diameters. Placing it evenly will allow ordinary electrical tape. We paste it horizontally at intervals of the required size, or even make a grid of it and place the pattern in the cells. When you're done, simply remove the tape.



In the same way you can do autumn pumpkin crafts in the form of lanterns. Often, a grinning face is cut out on a vegetable for a lantern. To do this, the prepared (peeled from pulp and grains) fruit is first applied with a felt-tip pen, and then the necessary sections are cut out with a knife and chisels.

If it’s difficult for you to draw on the surface right away, draw a drawing on a tracing paper, attach the tracing paper to the fetus and find the optimal place for placement, and then prick the drawing along the contour with an awl or even an ordinary nail and cut holes already on the tattoo.

Often the peel of a pumpkin is very dense. This is where a drill can come in handy again. After all, drilling holes with it is much easier than cutting a pattern with a knife. Using drill bits of different diameters and masking tape to demarcate the pattern so that the pattern does not move, you can create very interesting and cute lanterns.

It is best to put an LED lamp inside. By the way, it is not necessary to make all the holes through. If you leave a layer of pulp under the skin about a centimeter thick, then only the densest layer can be removed for the pattern. The lamp will illuminate the pattern from the inside, and it will look very decorative.



DIY pumpkin crafts

Let's remember the fairy tale about Cinderella and which was created by a good godmother. Of course, we are not wizards, but only learning, but to make such a non-trivial vehicle together with the kids as do-it-yourself pumpkin crafts we are quite capable of it, especially since the manufacturing principle is still the same: we cut off the top so that the hole is small, if only we can scrape out the pulp with a spoon. Our carriage can only have windows, but you can make windows and a door.

By the way, if the fruit is large and, accordingly, the openings of windows and doors are large enough, then the pulp can be removed through them, leaving the top intact. We apply the drawing with a felt-tip pen or make a pre-stencil and circle or prick it with something sharp, then cut the necessary holes along the contour.


If the edges of the holes turned out to be even and regular, then you can apply a decorative pattern around them with a chisel or a carving knife and even decorate the entire body of the carriage with carving patterns. In the event that it was not possible to cut through the peel carefully, colored paper or colored cardboard and glue will come to the rescue.

Cut out decorative trims for the door and windows and stick them on the carriage body over the holes. You can come up with a decoration on the stem. As wheels, patissons are perfect, which we fix with bamboo sticks. If there are no squash, use mugs of zucchini, or cut wheels out of cardboard.



You can do exactly the same pumpkin garden crafts in the form of fairy houses. That is, we cut windows and a door of the desired shape on the vegetable, moreover, you can not cut off the top of the fruit, but remove the pulp through the door hole.

But then we turn on the fantasy and decorate the resulting house to our liking. For example, autumn leaves, scales from cones can be glued to the roof as tiles, or dry grass or spikelets tied in a bunch can be used.

Toothpicks or cross-linked twigs will give credibility to the window. Staircase, door, chimney and other details will make the house unique and individual. A plot scene will also work out well if you come up with a stand, decorate it with moss and a fence. An additional color will be given by figurines of mice or little men made of cones, acorns or other natural materials. Suitable fruits of various shapes, not only round.

Only in this case, if you want to put a pear-shaped pumpkin upright, take care to fix it on a stand, for example, with glue, so that it does not fall at the most inopportune moment. But the house will be more interesting.



Crafts in the pumpkin garden

It is not necessary to cut and peel a vegetable to make pumpkin crafts on the theme Halloween. It is enough to cut out, for example, the silhouettes of bats from black paper and decorate a vegetable with them. Or just paint them with black acrylic paint or a marker. In the same way, a black outline of the castle, drawn or pasted on the side, would be appropriate. By the way, it is not necessary to use a natural pumpkin, but you can make it yourself from a variety of materials.

Ideas and methods for making artificial ones are very, very diverse. Suitable for paper, fabric, and knitwear. Finding a used sweater in the household is not so difficult. It is better if it is orange, brown or green, but, in principle, the color can be anything.

We cut out the cylinder, tighten the bottom in a circle and fill the resulting bag with filler: synthetic winterizer or holofiber, tighten the upper neck with an elastic band or jute twine. With its help, we depict the ribs of the pumpkin, after which we wrap the rest of the knitwear on top tightly with twine, we get a stalk.



It is easy to sew a pumpkin out of fabric using the given pattern, increasing it to the required size. The fabric can be any, even viscose household napkins are suitable, only they should be duplicated with adhesive material so that they do not spread when stuffed.

They come in yellow, and orange, and green, so they are suitable for leaves. The leaves will also be good from felt. Tone the seam with any paint, even watercolor or gouache will do.

From paper pumpkins, simple in shape, you will get an interesting garland for decorating a room, which can be placed in window openings or under the ceiling. It is better to take paper colored on both sides, such as colored paper for a printer.



Autumn pumpkin crafts

Colored paper may be needed in the manufacture pumpkin crafts on the theme of autumn if we want to depict a funny or frightening face: cut out paper eyes, mouth and nose and stick it all on a whole pumpkin. The drawing can also be applied with acrylic paints, and for greater reliability, add hair from a washcloth or an original hat.

Felt or foamiran is also suitable for the manufacture of overhead parts. For example, to make a funny owl, it is enough to cut out shaggy eyebrows, eyes and a beak from felt and stick all these details, having previously tried on how best to place them. In this case, natural materials will also come in handy: pumpkin seeds, cone scales, leaves, and the like.


We also recommend
