Christmas wreath of cones

Another great idea is to make a Christmas wreath out of pine and spruce cones, which you can use to decorate the doors or walls of your house. Also in this wreath you can add dried flowers, ribbons and other elements to create your own piece of art.

Spruce and pine cones are great materials for creating crafts and decorating your home. Natural raw materials from the forest not only look original, but also have a pleasant coniferous aroma. Handmade products will become an original decoration for the New Year holidays.

When collecting, it is better to give preference to clean material without dried resin and insects. Remains of dirt can be easily removed with a cotton swab dipped in an alcohol solution.

The internal cavity of forest coniferous raw materials is cleaned by soaking it in vinegar essence, diluted with boiled water in a ratio of 1:1. After processing, the scales may close, but their shape will remain original.

To create crafts from closed cones, it is recommended to collect material in autumn and in sunny weather. This is due to the fact that the procurement material will be well cleaned and dried. October is the best period when the raw material is moist and the covering scales are tightly closed. Here you can also find cones of non-standard shape.

Tools for the job

In addition to forest raw materials, auxiliary tools will be needed to perform artistic work, of which the most commonly used are:

scissors– must be with blunt ends for the safety of children;
awl or a large needle - a tool made of durable material is welcome, always with a thread passed through the eyelet;
simple pencil- needed for line or contour drawings;
paints- necessary for the design of the intended toy or decor, preferably gouache;
brushes- softer for painting products, hard - for glue;
stack- designed to form the surface of clay or plasticine in creativity;
tongs or pliers- used for screwing wires and hooks;
clear nail polish- gives the finished product strength and smoothness.

Accessories that are dangerous for a child should only be used under supervision or with the help of an adult.

It is important that the teacher or parent knows the features of working with devices and, as necessary, introduces the child to them.

In the process of needlework, several methods are used to attach elements to each other:

Plasticine- the most accessible and easy way for children to connect parts. To make it inconspicuous on finished products, you will need to choose a color similar to the fastened material. In addition, with the help of plasticine it is convenient to “revive” animals by blinding their eyes, nose and paws.
Glue transparent "Moment"- a durable option for connecting elements when working with cones. Glue is applied to the parts to be fastened and pressed tightly against each other for a few seconds. This stage of work is recommended to be performed by adults so that the child does not inhale glue vapors.

Crafts from cones are best held together with Moment glue

thin wire- will be needed in the manufacture of certain types of crafts - baskets of cones, a New Year's wreath.

Rarely use toothpicks. The material smeared with glue can serve as a fastening of the torso and head.

Processing cones for crafts

When open cones are needed during creativity, they should be dried well. You can collect natural blanks in the spring after being freed from seeds. It is important to note that open instances do not change their shape.

If it is necessary to use an unopened type of cones in the work, then after cleaning the scales, it is treated with glue. You can use ordinary PVA glue or wood glue.

Less often, crafts need raw materials of a curved shape. To obtain the desired workpiece, it is left in boiling water until it becomes elastic, and then the desired appearance is formed, securing it with an insulating tape.

The material intended for the manufacture of figures must be clean and dry. Cones that have been previously processed should be thoroughly dried.

There are 4 drying methods:

Outdoors- choose a dry, well-ventilated place, cover the surface with paper and leave for 2-3 weeks.
in a frying pan- raw materials are laid out in a cast-iron dish, left on a minimum heat and, periodically turning over, bring to readiness.
In the oven- put foil or parchment paper on a baking sheet, distribute the cones not too close to each other and hold for 30 minutes at a temperature above 200ºС.
In the microwave- the glass surface must be covered with napkins, lay out the blanks and put the appliance at maximum power for 1 minute.

Pine cones take longer to dry than spruce cones. In addition, due to the lightness and volatility of the seeds, it is better to prepare them in a large and tall box.

Illiterately processed elements can deform over time. Spruce cones are especially susceptible to external changes.

In order for the result of creativity to remain in perfect form, the following recommendations must be observed:

boil the assembled blanks for 30-40 minutes;
remove accumulated moisture by drying;
carefully process the finished material with carpentry glue;
if it is necessary to obtain light cones, soak the raw material in a container with universal bleach.

Natural raw materials after heat treatment will become clean and safe. Crafts from cones with your own hands can be covered with paint of the desired color, varnish or artificial snow. The choice will depend on the intended decoration.

In some cases, when performing artistic work, it becomes necessary to drill or cut the material. With such an impact, the scales of cones, especially in spruce ones, break and crumble. To keep them intact, you need to hit the center of the workpiece as accurately as possible with the tip of the drill and deepen it with rotations without any effort. The resulting hole is covered with glue.

The principle of processing and creative work with spruce and pine cones is identical. The only difference is that crafts made of spruce material will have an elongated shape.

What other materials can be used

In addition to cones, there are many more natural materials that can be combined with cones - bright leaves, chestnuts, pebbles of various shapes, acorns - excellent improvised means for children and adults skill. The combination of raw materials of various shapes and textures will allow you to create an artwork of any size.

In art crops, nuts, matches, threads are also successfully used or other handicrafts. Additional elements will make the work more realistic and creative, breathe life into animal figures. Experts assure that the combination of artificial and natural parts is welcome in any skill.

Craft Ideas for Kindergarten

Crafts from cones are a good solution for decorating the interior on the eve of the New Year holidays. From the available components, you can make something new and interesting with your own hands at any time. Creating original crafts is an activity for the whole family.

Christmas tree

A do-it-yourself Christmas tree is the main work before the New Year.

To make a figure you need:

cones of various sizes;
glue gun;
paint can;
cardboard;
scissors.

At the first stage of mastery, a cone with a base should be formed from cardboard. Thoroughly cleaned and dried buds need to be sprayed with paint. If desired, raw materials can be left in their natural form.

Next, you should select the largest cones and, using a glue gun, starting from the base, glue the lower part of the cone in a circle. Moving to the top, the material is used in smaller and smaller sizes. As a result, small elements remain for the peak of the cone.

The process of making a Christmas tree ends with its decoration with sparkles, beads, ribbons. It is important when decorating with taste to choose colors.

Bear

Crafts from cones with your own hands can be made in any size: as a desktop souvenir or a garden figure. They will captivate children in creativity, developing perseverance, diligence and imagination. Even a child can cope with the proposed bear design.

Materials for creativity should be prepared in advance (table 1).

Table 1

No. p / p	Number of cones	Purpose
1	1 PC. big	torso
2	1 PC. smaller	Head
3	4 things. medium	Paws
4	2 pcs. small	Ears

All elements must be assembled by fixing them together with glue or wire. From plasticine you need to fashion eyes and a nose. The cone bear is ready. You can decorate a new product with a bright ribbon bow.

Cone candlestick

A small project of a New Year's candlestick attracts with its simplicity and originality. A preschool child will cope with the original idea.

To create it, you need a minimum set of raw materials and tools:

wax candle - it is recommended to take a wide one;
cones of small size;
cardboard or strong paper;
glue.

The prepared candle must be wrapped with cardboard and fixed. The paper should adhere well and fit snugly against the walls of the candle. Next, the base of each cone is smeared with glue and attached to the workpiece.

To give the candlestick brightness, materials are pre-painted with paint or sparkles are sprayed on them. Candlesticks in a hurry can be made in advance or on the eve of the New Year.

Hedgehog

Using the gifts of nature and decorative elements, you can create exciting children's toys. For their manufacture, acorns, chestnuts, leaves, as well as artificial elements are used.

Creativity begins with the preparation of the necessary components. In that work you will need open pine cones and plasticine: black and white.

For decorating a hedgehog, decorative elements and colored plasticine are used.

Step by step execution of the figure:

From a small piece of white plasticine, it is required to form the muzzle of the animal and attach the blank to the flat part of the cone.
Next, you should revive the toy by making ears, and from black plasticine - eyes, nose and paws.
Taking multi-colored plasticine, you need to fashion mushrooms and apples. Fruits are pricked on the back of a hedgehog.

Crafts from cones with your own hands can be identified as a fun toy for a baby or a nice souvenir for loved ones.

New Year's wreath

New Year's wreath is the most beautiful decoration made of fir cones.

Making decor, if you follow the step-by-step instructions, will not take much time:

Newspapers must be rolled into a ring, rewound with wire - this will be the basis of the product.
Wrap the resulting ring with a beautiful fabric (organza) and fix the ends with a glue gun.
Fir cones are attached to the frame around the entire perimeter.
The resulting wreath can be decorated with rain, beads or ribbons.

Spruce blanks can be prepared in advance by decorating them in gold or silver. While maintaining the natural look, the material is supplemented with green twigs with red ribbons. Spruce decor looks more spectacular if it is sprinkled with sparkles.

To simplify the process of creating a New Year's wreath, you need to take a ready-made base as its basis. A separate item can be purchased at any craft store.

In this case, creativity begins directly with the attachment of processed cones and decoration of the product. Creativity can be diversified by adding materials such as chestnuts, acorns or nuts.

Garland

Making a garland begins after preparing the cones. For creation, large and open blanks are best suited. Cleaned from dirt and painted with the desired paint, the materials must be strung on a tape, observing the same distance between the elements.

Step-by-step instruction:

First you need to measure the distance in the room where the garland will be placed.
Next, cut the tape in accordance with the measurements, leaving a small margin for sagging.
Lay out the cones and mark their location on the tape.
Holes are made in the marked places, and loops are sewn on the ends of the tape for hanging.

Now you can start processing. It is necessary to carefully break out the top row of scales, coat the treated area with glue. Next, screws with hooks are screwed into the center of the workpiece using pliers. Finished products are hung on a tape, combining in color, shape and size.

Crafts can be created in the evenings with the family. Original figures and decor items made of cones are an occasion to reveal the creative abilities of a child and make New Year's gifts with your own hands.

Do you have a bunch of bumps and don't know what to do with them? Why not use them for children's creativity? They are so pretty and easy to work with. In this material you will find 11 step-by-step master classes on making children's crafts from cones, as well as from improvised and natural materials.

If you want the cones to be absolutely clean and dry, then before starting needlework, clean them with a brush, then put them in the oven to bake at a temperature of 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Wait for them to cool and start making crafts.

You will need:

Pine or any other round, not too elongated cones;
Plasticine (brown, beige, orange or yellow color is equally well suited for sculpting the muzzle and legs, and black plasticine is better for the tip of the nose);
Hedgehog eyes can be made from plastic doll eyes (available at craft stores), black beads, or black plasticine.

Master Class:

Step 1. Roll a small ball out of plasticine, then stretch it out a little and form a muzzle.

Step 2. Roll up one small ball of black plasticine and place it on the tip of the muzzle.

Step 3. If you want the hedgehog to have ears, just roll two small balls from the same plasticine that the hedgehog's head was molded from, and then stick them in the right places.

Step 4. Now roll 4 sausages about 1.5-2 cm long.

Step 5. Assemble the figure as a constructor and stick eyes on the muzzle. Voila, your hedgehog is ready!

By the way, if you replace plasticine with polymer self-hardening clay, then the hedgehog will become a real souvenir that you can give or present at an exhibition of crafts in kindergarten.

All elements must be fixed evenly so that the product looks good in the interior. Sequencing:

Make three bump rings, guiding natural materials with sharp edges inward and securing them with a layer of wire between the scales. It will take eight cones for a small circle, nine for a medium circle, 11 for a large circle.
From eight cones, make a semicircle that will become the handle of the future basket, fastening the elements with two strips of wire.
Putting on top of each other, connect the three rings with wire material. Attach the handle to the widest upper circle with wire.
Insert three cones from below. You can fasten them, but most likely they will hold on to themselves.
Stylish basket is ready!

If you want to keep the children busy in kindergarten with interesting needlework, make a funny bear with them. To implement the idea, you will need one large pine or spruce cone, one element three times smaller, four very small cones, black and brown plasticine.

An excellent decoration of the interior will be a tree of happiness - a topiary. Sometimes real pictures are created by children's hands. Check out the photos of autumn-themed crafts for kids to get new ideas:

With the help of plasticine, cones, as well as other natural materials, you can create magnificent figurines or fairy-tale characters! We do! Dinosaurs, bunnies, an owl, a duck, a hedgehog, a kitten and other forest animals made of plasticine and cones!

Children's crafts made from natural material from cones are simple, affordable and very useful, EVERY child can do it!

The complexity of crafts: easy, even the smallest can do it with the help of parents or a child from 3 years old can do it himself.

materials: plasticine of different colors, cones of various sizes, a disk, matches and a good mood! You can use cones from different trees, but be sure to be completely dry. Plasticine or glue is suitable for attaching simple crafts.

Age: from one year old to 7 years old. It plays a role what you let your child do, what part of the work.

Child development: stimulates the development of creativity, fine motor skills of hands, memory, imagination, perception of shapes, colors, the ability to create compositions, and also contributes to the development of mental abilities in children.

You can use a CD as a lake. Reeds are toothpicks, on which brown plasticine is slightly wound.

The duck is made very simply: first, the neck and head are molded. In order to get a neck, we roll a piece of light plasticine into a sausage and combine it with a pre-rolled ball as a duck's head. We attach a beak and eyes on the head.

We connect the head, neck and bump and lay it on the "pebble" using blue plasticine as a stand. We immerse the whole duck in water on a disk-lake.

These dinosaurs, hares, ostriches and other animals are all crafts made by children right on the street! Very beautiful, isn't it?! An unusual procession of toy animals formed on the street, but how cute, kind and cheerful!

And here is the owl. Triangles are molded from red plasticine from which paws are easily cut. Balls are rolled from yellow plasticine and shaped with fingers: two mugs - for the owl's eye, two almond-shaped ears, two ovals - for the wings. A small nose and green thin stripes for the pupils of an owl.

All the details are connected and you get an owl!

The hare is very easy to make. The muzzle, long ears, paws are molded with fingers. Small balls-eyes, nose and smile. As a mustache, I think that matches can be used, but after cleaning them of sulfur.

We attach all the details and attach to the bump and it turns out such a cute bunny!

And this is a wolf or a dog. Here is an important point - the connection of the paws with the body and the tail, as well as the head with the body, occurs with the help of plasticine, not glue.

The eyes can be rolled up using white plasticine and blue, and the pupils can be made from peas of black plasticine.

Below is a hedgehog. The cone itself is somewhat unusual. The muzzle, ears, eyes, nose, paws are also molded with plasticine fingers. Cones are connected in the same way - with the help of plasticine cakes.

And here is the hedgehog! It's so easy to make a hedgehog by sculpting his muzzle, nose to the top! A cute muzzle turned out to be a hedgehog!

Such wonderful and at the same time simple children's crafts from cones and plasticine inspire and bring joy to both children and their parents and especially mothers!

And now with ears! And who is this we got??

And here is the elephant. A trunk was attached to the cone, the legs of an elephant and eyes were made. For an elephant, a cone of a more rounded shape will be required. Because the elephant has a large size!

A very small baby can help mom roll up a strip of plasticine so that mom can form the trunk and legs of an elephant. And the kid can try to connect all the details into a whole elephant. Older kids can do the whole craft completely on their own!

In the same way, you can make children's crafts from natural material in the form of a cat.

If your child loves cats, then creating a kitten with a twisted tail will spark interest in the baby. The child himself can roll up a ball for the head and ears and the cat's eye. And also the kid can roll up a “sausage” with his handles from which he can try to form a twisted tail, paws, and maybe he will even be able to combine all this into a whole kitten!

And this Christmas tree can be done like this. Roll up a large "snow" ball of white plasticine. Roll small colorful balls. Paint the cone green and when the paint dries, place the Christmas tree on a white stand ball. Branches of the resulting Christmas tree from a cone, decorate with multi-colored plasticine balls.

I also really liked this swan. This children's craft made of cones and plasticine for children from 3 years old. Because here you need to roll out the plasticine for the wings thinly, making a waviness around the edges, making the neck and head of a swan. Having put a cone in the wings, thus form the body of a swan.

Place the swan first on a blue piece of plasticine and then on a dry sheet as a lake.

These dinosaurs will be made by children from the age of five. Here you need to think about the color, shape, the number of heads of one dragon.

Children's crafts made from natural material from cones will help children develop creativity, taste, fine motor skills of the hands, help them understand what different shapes can be and what can be made from plasticine and cones.

Since this type of creativity is quite inexpensive, useful, entertaining, and has a beneficial effect on the development of children, it is often used in kindergartens, in developmental classes and just at home.

Keep your kids occupied with good and useful crafts! Tell, or rather show ideas of new interesting creative ideas from any natural materials. Surely you have good and simple entertaining toys made by your children!
