Autumn leaves made of paper: templates, stencils, ideas

Autumn leaves made from accordion paper

Volume leaves made of paper look especially impressive. You can use them to make bouquets and three-dimensional compositions, or they can be secured with tape or pins on wall newspapers or photo frames with autumn drawings.

Necessary materials:

paper and stencils for blanks;
pencil and scissors;
glue stick or glue.

For design work where only one side will be visible, you can take single-sided colored paper from standard children's sets. If the composition is planned to be voluminous, only double-sided will do.

It is worth checking in advance whether the stem is strong enough when crushed. Glossy sheets are not suitable for such crafts.

You can invite the children to first color the A4 sheets themselves, at the same time telling them about the changes in their color in the fall and showing that in nature there are no monochromatic surfaces. To prevent the paint from being damaged when crumpled, you need to use watercolor. The paper must be completely dry before starting work.

Technique:

In kindergarten, children trace a template along the contour on paper. Older children can easily make isosceles triangles according to the diagram on their own.
On the cut-out workpiece, first lay the first fold of 1.5 cm, and then the rest along it “inside-out”. Each fold must be pressed tightly - strictly fixed with a pencil or ruler.
The finished accordion is folded in half.
From the remaining ribbon, fold a twig and pass it through the slot of a leaf folded in half.
All that remains is to crumple the cutting and secure the central part of the product with glue.

Carved leaves are made using the same principle. The basis of this template of autumn leaves for cutting is an isosceles triangle turned into a herringbone.

Drawing on the theme of autumn in pencil

Drawing with a pencil is very simple. Can be used:

drawing technique (look at the original and repeat every stroke exactly),
or simply retake the image and transfer it to your own sheet of paper (this is when a blank sheet of paper is superimposed on the picture and drawn with a pencil along the contours and individual details of the image),
a pencil allows you to convey shadow and light, volume and texture of an object (due to shading).

Well, if something doesn’t work out, you can easily fix it with an eraser.

Pencil drawings can be monochrome or color. How can a simple pencil convey the gold of autumn leaf fall, the crimson of sunset and the aroma of fallen leaves? Easily! If you use pictures typical of autumn, your memory will “complete the picture” itself. For example, a heap of leaves depicted on paper that lies under a tree will remind you how great it is to toss these leaves, how they quietly fall and spin, and how they rustle under your feet when you walk on them.

See examples of drawings for sketching in the gallery:

For reference! A pencil drawing is a work done by:

with a simple pencil;
a set of colored pencils;
one of the colored pencils.

The children themselves can choose how it is convenient for them to draw autumn, and what colors will convey what they see.

Master class on how to draw autumn with a pencil.

1. First, draw a sketch with a simple pencil. For example, an alley in a park, on the sides of which trees appear one after another. A person can walk along the alley under an umbrella.

2. Draw the contours with a felt-tip pen. We erase the pencil.

3. Color with colored pencils, shading or pastels. First we paint the crowns yellow.

4. Then shade one side with light brown.

5. Here and there we apply green spots on the bushes and on the ground. All that remains is to color the silhouette of the girl.

Corrugated paper leaves

Corrugated paper is the most successful material for quickly making autumn leaves. The veins are already determined by the texture of the material itself.

During a creativity lesson at a preschool educational institution, preschool children can be asked to make an applique or collage out of them. Older children can make additional gluing to make the leaf as natural as possible - the effect will ensure multidirectional relief of the paper. In any case, templates will be required.

Making a leaf with hard veins:

You need to cut out rhombuses from corrugated paper, then divide them into triangles. For maple you will need 10 parts.
The parts are set aside from the center, turning the workpieces over, the veins are laid out in a herringbone pattern and glued together with an overlap of 2-3 mm.
The maple leaf template must be applied so that the center of the gluing coincides with the axis of the veins. The outline is marked with a pencil, then the workpiece is cut out.
Tightly rolled paper becomes a twig.

If you glue the twig carefully, the leaves will look good from all sides. They can be used to make garlands and volumetric compositions.

A selection of works for kindergarten and school on the theme “Gifts of the Golden Autumn 2018”

Let's look further. And if you came to this article, it means that you are a big fan of creative things, or, even most likely 100%, you have children who go to kindergarten and school. And they received an assignment for home - to make an autumn craft with their own hands. And since you are a responsible parent, you are happy to help your children.

And then I come to the rescue, throwing out ready-made options. All you have to do is choose and repeat!

Here is a job for children in kindergarten. Perfectly develops imagination and hand motor skills. Plus, the materials for crafts are all simple and accessible to everyone.

Here's a fruit fantasy. Also an easy option. Any preschooler or schoolchild can do it.

How do you like this cute apple caterpillar? Or maybe your child would like to make it from walnuts? Or maybe he’ll just make chicks out of apples! Any idea is worthy of your attention.

But the turtle came to visit. Take a small pumpkin and squash and make round holes. Insert cucumbers into these holes. Draw or glue eyes. All is ready!

Here is a beautiful snail. By the way, I already talked about it in some article. Well, from the photo you can see that everything is done in an elementary way.

You can always build a kolobok like this, well, this is when you have absolutely no time or you forgot about the task).

Here are more variations with faces. White cabbage is an excellent material for creativity.

Judicious weirdos are driving a car. All you need to do is take plasticine and small fruits such as potatoes, onions, apples and pears. Well, the eggplant acts as a wheelbarrow.

Look what kind of stroller you can make from a watermelon. But the baby is made from white and Chinese cabbage.

Well, pumpkin carriages are always in fashion. Only they can be cut and decorated in different ways.

Well, the firebird simply amazed me. I wonder if anyone else can recreate it?!

Cutting templates

To work with children, templates for any equipment can be printed on a printer, and then transferred to cardboard and cut out.

The high density of the blanks for tracing will ensure their durability. Having planned lace, requiring the use of a stationery knife, autumn leaves stencils for cutting can be made from thin plastic. Otherwise, the blanks will be disposable.

Volumetric leaves, like real ones

The naturalness of paper leaves is given by coloring. In any case, monochromatic options will look like crafts.

The paper can be tinted so that the colors do not seem rough:

grated crayons or pencil lead;
watercolors and blurred watercolor pencils;
alcohol paints (for example, from a felt-tip pen) and a sponge;
airbrush or spray drops with any stiff brush.

To make the composition beautiful and realistic, the teacher must tell you in advance which colors are characteristic of which plant and help you choose shades.

You can literally copy the texture of the leaves by simply highlighting it with chalk or a wax pencil. To do this, you need paper thin enough so that the relief of the veins can be clearly felt through it.

Having placed the original under the sheet, you need to lightly touch the surface so that the tinting lies brighter on the folds. If you choose the shade of the paper and chalk in advance, you can get a realistic effect.

The veins of the leaves, even if they are made of plain paper, should be embossed. There are simple ways to corrugate a workpiece without resorting to complex stamping methods. To make embossed veins, you will need:

a dense but fairly soft base (folded paper sheets, linoleum, thick oilcloth);
scissors, sharp stick, toothpick or skewer;
visual diagram.

Having placed the workpiece on a soft surface, you need to push through the veins, observing the natural pattern of the original. The lines should not be rigid or drawn according to a ruler.

For paper-plastic techniques that make it possible to obtain voluminous blanks, scissors are usually used. A part is passed through their cutting edge at a fracture, causing it to begin to curl.

When working with children, you can also use a thin ruler - this will prevent injury. The main thing is to show with an example how pressure affects the quality of twisting.

The veins on the leaves can also be made voluminous. To do this, you will need a glue gun or 3D pens that have become quite common. The relief is simply drawn with plastic, and then painted along with the main plane.

A similar effect can be achieved with simple PVA glue, if you dry it a little in an open container. It is difficult to implement such techniques in a kindergarten, but the use of new interesting technologies will make classes with older children more interesting.

Crafts “Gifts of Golden Autumn” for an exhibition or competition

In my previous note, we have already considered many options for what you can make with your own hands from various types of materials, it can be natural, fruits, vegetables, and even waste. This time I will show you a few more options, which are also no less beautiful and attractive.

And perhaps I’ll start with a non-traditional, but a paper-plasticine miracle. Take cardboard and make blanks of maple and oak leaves. You will also need glue for ceiling tiles and a CD for the job.

Take plasticine of different colors in your hand and roll it into a ball.

Roll out with your hands, as if painting the surface of the leaves.

Glue the finished blanks onto the disk using glue.

Mask the middle with oak leaves and roll up the red rowan berries. This is such a cool masterpiece with an autumn theme.

Do you want to create something extraordinarily cool from real rowan berries? I propose to make a picture of rowan in the form of a squirrel. You need to draw the image of a squirrel on cardboard (from under a box, thick) and then cut it out.

Use decorative tape to connect the edges of two cardboards. Or glue with regular PVA. And then fill the image of the animal with berries. It looks original and beautiful! She's a charmer, isn't she?

The next craft is a flower vase, you can make it yourself. Take any glass container and wrap it with woolen thread or twine. When doing this, first paint the jar with glue. You can see the stages of work below in this figure:

Now prepare the bouquet and place it in a vase. And a gift or souvenir for the exhibition will be ready. Good luck!

Now make a funny little guy in the shape of a sun. Cut out a circle from colored paper, glue eyes, mouth, and nose onto it. Or you can draw all these details with a marker.

Then cover the diameter of the circle with dry leaves.

Also, in order to comfortably hold the sun with your hands, glue a stick. Or then stick it in a glass, which you can also build yourself.

With preschool children in the park, collect dry leaves and then invite them to decorate them with felt-tip pens, or better yet, with acrylic paints.

It turns out to be quite wonderful and cool, you won’t be able to take your eyes off it!

You can go the other way and make a cool bouquet. I remember that I haven’t shown you anything like this before. But, I repeat.

You can give this to your mother, grandmother, or your favorite teacher.

Autumn leaves using origami technique

Origami classes are included in the school curriculum. The complexity of the idea is chosen taking into account the age of the children.

For kids, you can offer modular equipment - maple or currant leaves made from modules. In this case, you will only have to fold the diamond-shaped blanks, which are then glued together into the finished composition.

For large compositions, cut out and slightly tinted leaves from paper and cardboard are suitable. Large beads or berries from painted acorns can become rowan branches. A more stylish option is compositions using the quilling technique - lace patterns made from colored stripes.

The teacher will have to take on most of the work, although children can also assemble the simplest spirals into flowers using a glue stick.

Technique:

The selected ornament must be transferred to thick paper. The main pattern is laid out along the contour using pins. In the case of leaves, these are veins.
Ribbons folded into spirals fill the volume of the sheet. You can play with the color of the parts of the composition.
The joints are treated with a glue stick or a brush with PVA.

After complete drying, the composition can be removed from the template.

Classroom decorations with leaves

Another spectacular technique is twisted structures using the paper-plastic technique. The relief is created by inverted stripes - internal stripes. Works can be modular. In this case, diamonds of the same type need to be fastened together.

Technique:

A stencil of autumn leaves for cutting out of paper needs to be traced. Only double-sided paper is used, otherwise the reverse side will be visible when flipped.
The workpiece is cut along the contour, the internal parts are perforated with a paper knife.
Thin central ribbons are turned over, making the leaf symmetrical, and secured with glue or a stapler.

All that remains is to fasten a few leaves into a composition. To avoid ruining the look, you can use double-sided tape.

Vytynanki - leaves on the windows

The vytynankas will look impressive on the windows. This is a lace cutting technique. Double-sided options will be equally impressive on both the inside and outside of the window. The technique is only suitable for children who can confidently handle a paper knife.

Cutting should not be offered to children due to the risk of injury. You can offer ready-made schemes for implementation. Older children can come up with an ornament on their own. The design is first drawn on cardboard and cut out, then the blank is used to transfer the design to the main color.

Vytynanka autumn leaves patterns

The most popular, as we have already found out above, are autumn leaves.

In autumn, the leaves themselves evoke a special atmosphere. In addition, it is important to use colored paper, not white, and in a variety of colors - green, red, yellow, and so on, since leaves take on a variety of shades in the fall. Colors that are not at all suitable for autumn leaves are black and blue.

Vytynanka leaves, which are presented here in a wide variety, can not only be glued to windows, mirrors, walls, but also hung on strings, which will look beautiful and fabulous.

Leaves for dress design

In kindergartens and elementary schools, fashion shows with the simplest elements, including those made of paper, are practiced. For middle classes, such ideas are no longer relevant; they only make teenagers laugh. They can be offered to make crafts from foamiran - dense textiles that hold their shape.

Parents should be warned in advance about becoming familiar with this technology, as investments will be required. To work you need:

foamiran itself (primary colors can be purchased one sheet per class);
molds or molds (leaves, petals);
tongs or iron for heating;
paints for creating shades and a sponge for coloring;
beads, sparkles, glue for attaching parts.

The investment will be worth it. This design, unlike paper, will withstand any presentation - after heating, the material holds its shape even when crumpled. Volumetric items can be worn on ordinary days - the fashion for hand-made items is only growing.

There are dozens of original techniques for making autumn leaves. Depending on the age of the children and the final idea, the lesson can be carried out step by step, showing the children the techniques sequentially, or leaving most of the work for independent creativity. In the second case, you need to introduce ideas as a whole, choosing feasible options.
