Another type of creativity, very loved by children, is modeling from salt dough. This material is similar to plasticine, the same plastic, but even softer, it is pleasant to work with it.

Here is the recipe for salt dough for modeling:

1. We take in equal parts flour and salt and mix well.
2. Add some water little by little and knead the dough. It must be brought to the consistency of soft plasticine.

The dough is ready, you can start creating. If after sculpting there is dough left, it can be stored in a tightly wrapped bag.

For the autumn competition in the kindergarten, you can use salt dough. Here is a description of one wonderful craft made from salt dough, using natural material, all that autumn is rich in.

Salt dough hedgehog

We are preparing crafts for the autumn competition from salt dough!

We need to work:

• salty dough.
• acrylic paints or gouache.
• leaves, any natural material for decoration.
• glue (thermo-gun).
• basis for panels. It can be thick cardboard.

Steps to create a hedgehog:

Applying imagination and relying on the above step by step photos, you can make amazing and wonderful unique crafts in the garden with your own hands on the theme "Autumn". But the most important thing is not even the result, but the creative process, to which children should be involved.

Video ideas:

What to do if you need to make an autumn craft for an exhibition, but there is almost no autumn, natural material left? Then our imagination and salty dough will help us out.

I bring to your attention the original craft.

Materials:

1. in order to knead the dough you need:

Wheat flour - 100 g.
* rye flour- 100 g.
* Salts - 400 g.
* Water - 250 mg.
* Dry wallpaper paste - 2 tablespoons.

2. leaf shape

4. base in the form of a circle for a wreath

5. hot glue

6. food coloring: green, red, yellow

7.oven

9. wallpaper paste

Progress:

1. First of all, you need to make the dough. To do this, we will mix the above ingredients together.

Advice: water is added to the dough little by little and only cold. Salt should be fine and uniform. Excess salt can make the dough brittle and brittle. Before adding dry wallpaper paste to the dough, dilute warm water to the consistency of sour cream.

Dough preparation
Mix sifted flour, wallpaper paste and fine salt, pour water.
So that the dough does not tear or crumble during the modeling process, it must be well kneaded and kneaded.

2. For coloring, food coloring is used, which is added to the kneaded dough.
Yellow dough - 2 drops yellow dye per 100 g of dough
green dough- 2 drops of green dye per 100 g of dough
Lilac dough - 2 drops of red dye and 1 drop of blue per 100 g of dough
If the dough needs to be dyed in several colors, then it is divided into parts and each part is dyed separately.

3. Cut out the leaves from the dough on a baking sheet: in this case, the reverse side of the product will remain flat. The baking sheet should be moistened with water before work.

4. When the molds are ready, put them in the oven. The 5 mm thick product is dried at a temperature of 75C for 1 hour. Then 30 minutes - at a temperature of 100C, then another 30 minutes - at 125C and 1 hour - at 150C

Advice: Before drying, the oven is turned on at the lowest heat. The baking sheet is placed on the top shelf and kept there until the product begins to brown. After that, the pan is rearranged on the middle shelf.

If, during drying, bubbles appear on the product or it begins to swell, it is necessary to immediately reduce the heating temperature, otherwise cracks will appear on the back of the product. The product is considered dried if, when tapped on it with a finger, a ringing sound is heard. If the sound is deaf, then the product inside is still damp and the drying process can be continued.

5. If the product is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool. After glue on the glue to the cardboard circle.

Autumn is very right time for creativity. When the weather does not allow spending time outside, it can be spent on creating interesting crafts- for example, to make truly autumn crafts from salt dough.

- this is a very convenient basis for creativity. For children, classes with this material are much easier than working with modeling mass, plasticine and other similar materials. Even the smallest children can make flat autumn souvenirs from salt dough with their own hands.

If you have already managed to stock up on bright bizarre autumn leaves, you can make crafts from dough with their help. Additionally, you will need a rolling pin and wax crayons.

Roll out a small ball of dough into a layer. You can roll out a large lump at once and then cut it into separate plates.

We put an autumn leaf on the plate and press it very well.

We remove the sheet - a clear imprint should remain in its place.

Let's dry our plate. After it becomes solid, paint the print with wax crayon.

Get a nice print.

You can make autumn leaves from dough without using real leaves.

To do this, we knead the salt dough and divide it into several lumps.

We paint each lump in a bright autumn shade using natural or food coloring. You can use finger paints for this purpose, which are easily washed off the palms of babies.

Now we combine all the lumps into a single whole and mix the resulting mass well.

Roll it out with a rolling pin into an even layer.

Now, using leaf-shaped molds, we cut out figures from the dough. If you do not have such molds available, you can make them yourself from tin cans, be sure to bend the edges of the homemade molds inward.

On each leaf of dough we make a round hole - we will then thread the lace into it.

We dry our crafts. They can be used to create autumn compositions, such as a decorative tree, or to decorate rooms. You can even decorate a photo frame or a wall newspaper with such leaves.

It is quite possible to make such ones from salt dough in kindergarten - as part of a thematic creative lesson.

And the children will be happy to decorate the group or the hall with the fruits of their labor.

Salt dough craft« autumn bouquet»

1. Inspired by the works of Maam people from salt dough decided to do craft by myself. And since in our kindergarten "Rainbow" a competition called "Paints autumn» I didn't have to think for a long time that it would be.

2. For test used: 300 g flour, 300 g salt, 0.75 cup

water, 2 tbsp. spoons of PVA glue.

3. On a plywood blank (you can use thick cardboard) put a thin layer test.

4. Using stacks of rolled test prepared the leaves different shapes. Apple and rowan berries rolled up from balls test. I did not forget to make a recess on the apple for the twig.

5. I glued the parts with a wet brush.

6. To paint autumn were more varied added to bouquet of flowers.

7. I decided to make a frame also from flagella test.

8. The product dried in the air for two days. Then I started coloring. I used gouache first white, then all other colors, from yellow to brown.

9. From above I covered everything with a colorless varnish.

10. The result is such a picture.

Do not judge strictly, because this is my first craft. Most importantly, I liked working with salty test. I will definitely try to do something with children.

Autumn gives us a lot of materials for creativity. These are leaves of various colors, and chestnuts, and dried flowers, and acorns, and a decorative miniature pumpkin.

But, before you start making souvenirs from them, you need to properly prepare them, namely, dry them and, if necessary, varnish or paint them.

If you make crafts from unprepared raw materials, then this will be a short-lived product.

As soon as the material dries on its own, the souvenir will lose its shape and will have to be thrown away. And besides this, half-baked leaves can simply rot or become moldy.

Therefore, let's start by drying our autumn finds.

Let's prepare the leaves for the herbarium as follows:

1 way:

Put them between the book sheets and put them back on the shelf, pressing down firmly with other books on the side. After about a week and a half, the leaves will become suitable for crafts.

This method is the best because natural color leaves do not change and then they for a long time do not break.

2 way:

This method is good if you do not have the strength to endure a week and a half and want to quickly get to work. Place the sheet between two white sheets of paper and iron on the lowest setting.

In this case, the yellow and red leaves retain their color, but the green ones can darken and become an ugly, brown hue.

We dry chestnuts, acorns and decorative pumpkin.

1 way:

Dry on outdoors, in the shadow. It will be necessary to wait quite a long time before these materials acquire the dryness we need.

Sometimes this process takes a month. Especially it concerns decorative pumpkins, from which wonderful autumn crafts come out with their own hands.

You will see for yourself when the moment of readiness of the gifts of autumn comes. Acorns and chestnuts will become lighter, and the pumpkin will become like a rattle, as the cavity inside will dry out and shrink, and dry seeds will beat against the walls.

2 way:

We use the oven for this. It must be set to a temperature of up to 60C, and dried until tender, stirring occasionally.

The main thing is not to rush and do not set a high heat, as the fruits will simply boil and become completely unusable.

Drying dried flowers

There is only one way and it is long-playing. Flowers should be strung on a thread threaded through the stems and hung in a dry place, peduncles down.

Drying in a book or an iron will not work, so the shape will be lost and they will become flat. After the dried flowers are completely dry, they must be covered with a layer of hairspray. It will give them the right density and will not allow them to crumble at the slightest touch.

Well, now, let's move on to specific master classes and examples.

1. Panel of autumn leaves

We are offering to you great idea panel of leaves with their own hands. It is not difficult to make it, but the result is quite impressive.

It would be nice if you placed other autumn decor elements next to the finished leaf painting. For example, pumpkins, spikelets and other gizmos suitable in style. Then you will have a whole autumn ensemble.

What we need to work:

1. 1. Dried maple leaves of yellow-red color.
2. 2. Tree branch for the trunk
3. 3. A piece of square plywood
4. 4. Stain or dark varnish
5. 5. Simple pencil
6. 6. PVA glue
7. 7. A bunch of dry spikelets
8. 8. wicker basket for pumpkins
9. 9. A few Jack Be Little or Baby Boo pumpkins

If you do not have such pumpkins, then the basket can be filled with chestnuts and acorns. But on next year it would not hurt to grow them, as they look very colorful and festive. Of course, if you have a piece of land.

See what a variety of varieties and how harmoniously they combine with each other:

Master class step by step:

1 step. Sand the board, giving Special attention edges. They must be smooth.

2 step. Cover it with stain or varnish, preferably with a brownish tint. Apply the coating in several layers, trying to make the board not of a uniform color, but slightly “spotted”.

3 step. Freehand draw a large maple leaf.

4 step. Start gluing on the maple leaves. Start from the edges, gradually approaching the middle. The edges of the leaves should match the edges of the sketch as best as possible. The next row of leaves should overlap the previous one. Do not glue the ends, they should be “overhang” so that the effect of volume comes out.

5 step. Glue the selected branch in place of the stem.

Now hang a hand-made autumn panel over a cabinet and arrange other decorative elements around.

2. Topiary from a herbarium and other autumn materials

Topiary is an ornamental tree. In autumn, you can collect beautiful leaves and make such a wonderful and cozy element of decor.

Any leaves, dried flowers, acorns, spikelets will be used here. The main thing is to understand the essence and make the right foundation. And what to fill it with - fantasy will tell.

What we need to work:

1. 1. Ceramic pot of soft color
2. 2. Smooth tree branch for the trunk
3. 3. 1 ball of foam rubber, polystyrene or special floral foam
4. 4. Dry moss, sesame or a handful of beautiful pebbles, acorns, dry mountain ash
5. 5. Glue gun
6. 6. Gypsum dry
7. 7. Decorative elements: herbarium, dried flowers, mountain ash, acorns, etc.

Master class step by step:

1 step. Let's start with the base. Take a styrofoam ball and put it on a branch that will serve as a trunk for you. Then remove it and drop glue from the gun into the hole formed. Reattach the ball and let dry.

2 step. Secure the stem in the pot. To do this, put a drop of glue on the free edge of the branch, attach it to the base of the pot.

Then, dilute the gypsum with water to the consistency of liquid sour cream and fill the container. Keep in mind that you will still need to decorate everything on top with moss or acorns, so leave a gap of about 3-4 cm from the top.

3 step. Now we insert leaves, dried flowers into the ball, sticking their stems inside. If you want to add acorns to the composition, then first put them on pieces of wire.

4 step. Now you just have to decorate the top of the pot so that the gypsum is not visible.

That's all. According to this simple scheme, you can make a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands, not only from leaves, but also from dry peas, nuts and other things. All of them will look just fine!

3. Roses from maple leaves

Looking at this elegant bouquet of roses, it would never occur to you that it is made from ordinary maple leaves!

But, nevertheless, it is so. It is enough just to learn how to fold them correctly and you will get a chic basis for many ideas.

Such roses can be included in various autumn topiaries, wreaths, compositions and panels. They look great in combination with any natural materials.

Well, let's get down to business.

What we need to work:

1. 1. Maple leaves not dried
2. 2. Thread or soft wire
3. 3. Matte hairspray

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the middle of the bud. To do this, fold the sheet as shown in the pictures below. Try to twist it as tightly and evenly as possible. First in half, and then sausage.

As a result, we should get something like this:

2 step. Now take the second sheet, fold it in half again and wrap the base around it.

The sharp edges of the maple leaves need to be carefully hidden inside, like this:

3 step. We continue to build up mass around the base, fitting more and more new leaves. If you want to end up with a bud, then twist it tighter, and eat more lush rose, then slightly loosen the twist.

4 step. When you see that a real rose has “bloomed” in your hands, you need to fix it with threads, as tight as possible.

5 step. We cut the edges with scissors and put the rose on a lining of leaves, preferably already dry. We cover the composition with varnish and admire!

Such roses from leaves stand for a long time, for the whole autumn season it will definitely be enough. You can make as many of these colors as you like. The more of them, the more chic this autumn composition looks, resembling a fabric motif in appearance.

4. Compositions from decorative pumpkins

Even if you do not grow this vegetable on your site, in the autumn you can freely buy them on the market and then dry them yourself. How to do this, we have already told above, so let's not waste time talking.

Find some kind of dense base, then pierce chestnuts and other elements through reverse side, insert the wire, form a hook and use it to screw them to the circle.

Complement the chestnut composition with leaves, acorns, berries and other autumn decorative elements that this fertile time of the year gave.

6. Autumn garland "Leaves" from salt dough

This is a very spectacular autumn craft with your own hands. The big advantage of such a garland is that it is not seasonal and will decorate your home for many years.

After all, it is made not from natural materials, but from salt dough, which does not deteriorate for years. The only thing is that such products are fragile and must be handled with care so as not to break. But, even if this happened, they can always be glued together, but the joint will not be noticeable.

2. 1 glass of salt
3. 0.5 cups of water
4. Gouache
5. Sewing pins with hook eye

3 step. We lay out the templates on the rolled out dough and cut them along the contour with a knife.

As a result, we should get about as many blanks.

4 step. We make holes with pins and carefully fix the heads. On them we will hang our leaves. We squeeze out the veins with a knife.

5 step. We dry the dough in the oven at a temperature of 50-60C until completely dry.

6 step. We color the blanks from the dough with gouache, trying to make natural tones and transitions.

7 step. We string the garland on the twine, making a knot over each leaf so that they do not move.

So our autumn do-it-yourself craft is ready. You can hang it anywhere, it will be in place in any corner of the house, especially if you have some other autumn-style decor elements.

7. Vases and houses from an ordinary pumpkin

Autumn is the season for pumpkins. It costs mere pennies and find nice shape and coloring is not difficult.

And to make an element of autumn decor on its basis is as easy as shelling pears! No need here step-by-step technologies and accessories.

9. Frame of acorns for a photo or a mirror

Decorating any base in this way is very simple. We think no explanation is needed here.

The only thing we can advise is that you should not glue acorns on a glue gun or PVA. Much better if you use plasticine.

Because, most likely, you will soon get tired of such decor and have to throw it away. And so, you can always dismantle the acorns and get a regular photo frame back into use.

This is how it will look like.

There are whole acorns on the photo frame, and only hats on the mirror. Thus, you can create a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands and decorate any surface: caskets, bread boxes, and more.

10. Bunch of acorns

This autumn craft will look best if you paint the “berries” in natural colors, and instead of grape leaves add a maple herbarium of various colors.

Also, bunch of grapes from acorns - a wonderful element of any autumn wreath on the door or a large topiary. After all, it can be made not only desktop, but also in human growth!

Only instead of a foam ball, you need to take some large, plastic one. Grapes from acorns are made very simply, we will now tell you exactly how.

What we need to work:

1. Acorns without hats
2. Shilo
3. Wire
3. Glue gun
4. Acrylic paint
5. Autumn leaves for decoration

4 step. We paint acorns in any color you want. The main thing is that it is combined with leaves that will complement the composition.

5 step. We collect acorns in a bunch, forming a wire rod on top. Then we attach leaves to it.

Now you can make any decoration based on this fall craft. Panel, wreath and more.

11. Autumn crafts from felt

All you need to do is draw patterns, cut out the felt and decorate it according to our photos.

12. Pigtail of garlic and red pepper

How cozy it is when bundles of garlic, onions, red peppers hang in the kitchen! But if you hang them in fresh, they will very soon lose their appearance or simply run out, because they will go to food.

Let's do something like this, but for the ages! Now we will look at how garlic and pepper are made, from which we will form a pretty braid for the kitchen.

For work we need:

1. White nylon tights or plastic bag (for garlic base)
2. Cotton wool or synthetic winterizer (for filling)
3. White harsh thread (for dressing and forming lobules)
4. Glue gun
5. Buckwheat or twine (to simulate garlic roots)
6. Fabric for sewing peppers or salty dough for his molding

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the body of garlic. To do this, we need to cut into squares or nylon tights or simple plastic bags. Garlic made of nylon looks, of course, more realistic.

But the package looks good too. But most importantly, this material is always at hand. So, cut out a square, about 7 by 7 cm in diameter.

2 step. We roll a ball out of cotton wool or synthetic winterizer, put it inside a flap of nylon and form a head of garlic. It looks like it is shown in the photo.

3 step. Then we begin to tie the head with a harsh thread, forming garlic cloves. First, divide in half, then into quarters, then into 8 parts.

Look at the photo, the process is clearly shown there.

4 step. In the place where the roots of real garlic are located, we drip a drop of glue and sprinkle this place with crushed buckwheat. If you want, you can replace it with twine, which needs to be unraveled and finely chopped.

5 step. We make a pigtail out of twine and attach the resulting garlic cloves to it.

6 step. Now it's time to do the pepper. You can sew it, but a pepper made from salt dough looks much better.

We have already given the recipe for kneading, in the subheading “Garlands of autumn leaves”. This is how the peppercorns should turn out in the end.

7 step. We make holes in the tails of the peppercorns (we will then thread the twine into them and with its help we will fix them on the pigtail with garlic). You can do this with an awl or any item at hand.

The main thing is to make them large enough so that you can thread the thread freely later. Otherwise, after drying, you will not be able to attach in any way ready product to composition.

And one more thing: if you make a hole, make sure that the edges of the legs remain more or less large. Otherwise, after you pull the thread, the thin walls may crack and the pepper will fall to the floor.

8 step. Dry in the oven, paint acrylic paint, after drying, cover them with varnish. When the pepper shines, it looks more natural.

Dry at a low temperature, do not rush, because otherwise, your work may burst and you will have to sculpt everything again. Cracked peppers can no longer be painted the way you would like.

9. We fasten the pepper to the garlic and hang this autumn composition in the kitchen. You can make several of these links. You can make carrots from salt dough, and from brown tights you can make an onion bunch.

The principle of making bulbs is the same as garlic, only even simpler. Slices do not need to be formed.

Also, a bunch of mushrooms on the wall will look great, which you can also mold from dough and paint realistically.

Here comes the end of our great overview. You saw many examples and any kind of autumn crafts with your own hands. We really hope that our master classes will be useful to you and you will definitely take something into service.
