Do you have a bunch of bumps and don't know what to do with them? Why not use them for children's creativity? After all, they are so beautiful and easy to process. 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 the needlework, clean them with a brush, then put them in the oven to bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. Wait for them to cool down and start making crafts.

You will need:

• Pine cones or any other round, not too elongated cones;
• Plasticine (brown, beige, orange or yellow are equally well suited for sculpting the face and legs, and for the tip of the nose it is better to choose black plasticine);
• 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 pull it out a little and form a muzzle.

Step 2. Roll 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 of the same plasticine from which the hedgehog's head was molded, 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 the eyes on the muzzle. Woo-ala, your hedgehog is ready!

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

Cones and leaves turkey

Having collected not only cones, but also leaves for a walk, you can make just such a turkey with a variegated tail.

The idea of \u200b\u200bchildren's crafts from cones and autumn leaves

You will need:

• Pine cone;
• Autumn leaves of different types;
• Brown and yellow paper;

Step 2. Collect leaves of different colors and sizes and cut off their petioles.

Step 3. Now you need to create a tail for the future turkey. First, fan the leaves from the largest to the smallest. Glue a row of large leaves first, lubricating each leaf at the bottom and inserting it into the hole at the very bottom of the bud. Glue the second row of "feathers" from smaller leaves at a higher level. Next, glue the third row of the smallest leaves one more row higher.

Step 4. If your turkey has become unstable due to the tail, then you can make a pedestal for it, for example, from plasticine.

Step 5. Cut the head and neck out of brown paper, glue the eyes to it (or draw) and finally insert the “neck” into the hole at the top of the bump and fix it with glue.

Squirrel with felt acorn

We offer to cooperate efforts and make stunning crafts together with your child - owls from cones.

We will prepare the necessary materials. First of all, you need to collect the cones. A wonderful excuse to walk together in the forest.

Before starting to create crafts, it is recommended to dry the collected material in the oven at a temperature of no more than 200 degrees, for 30-40 minutes.

To make owls, we also need:

• multi-colored felt;
• scissors, glue gun;
• wire and glue.

1. Let's get to work. We choose the three most beautiful cones - the bodies of our future night birds. We prepare the patterns, transfer them to the fabric, cut out the details. We suggest using the provided templates.

1. We collect the parts in the way shown in photo number 2.
2. We glue the parts together using a glue gun, let them dry (photo No. 3).
3. The resulting blanks of muzzles and wings are carefully glued to the cones, as shown in photo No. 4.
4. We prepare paws for birds from wire, in accordance with photo No. 5.
5. We glue the legs to the bodies of the owls, as illustrated in photo # 6.

The trio of wise owls are ready.

Acorn Symbol of Wisdom

We continue to create with children. Here is another interesting idea for implementation. We suggest making a little owl from cones, leaves and acorns. In this case, we are not using the acorns themselves, but their caps to create owl eyes, and wonderful wings are obtained from the leaves.

To make such a cute bird, we need:

• cone, two acorn caps, leaves;
• glue gun, glue,
• pieces of dense fabric for the beak and paws (felt or artificial leather);
• beads, buttons or ready-made eyes.

With autumn sometimes comes not only bad weather, but also the opportunity to make amazing crafts from what nature itself presents. In kindergartens, herbariums are made, wreaths are made from fallen leaves. Mothers who want to help their child understand the world of plants and develop fine motor skills, as well as just spend time with their child for an interesting and fun activity, should pay attention to crafts made from cones in the form of various animals, for example, an owl. In this article you can find everything you need to conduct a master class on creating a decorative owl from cones, various tips and a video selection.

How to make an owl from cones with your own hands: a master class for beginners

Perhaps the most enjoyable part of working on a craft is collecting materials. Wandering through the autumn forest with your child in search of cones, leaves and acorns - what could be better? However, not all materials can be found in the forest: some will have to be bought or looked for at home.
The list of required materials varies depending on the chosen method of making the craft. For the first lesson, you need to have the following set on hand:

• one large wide cone (preferably pine);
• one small wide bump;
• colored plasticine;
• small branch.

But for the second lesson, the set is somewhat different. It includes:

• two “caps” of an acorn;
• two leaves;
• glue gun (or just polymer transparent glue);
• buttons, beads or special eyes for needlework;
• orange cardboard;
• large pine cone.

Both presented methods of making a trick are united by the need to pre-process the natural material collected in the forest. Immediately after the cones, acorns and other gifts of the forest have been brought into the house, they need to be warmed up in the oven at a temperature of 200 degrees to get rid of insects and pests that have taken refuge in the cones. After all, no one wants any tick or spider to come out of it in the process of needlework. It is better to warm up small cones for no more than 20 minutes, and large ones up to forty - they are not in danger of rapid ignition.

After the material for the craft has been collected and properly prepared, you can start working. The first method of making an owl with your own hands involves the use of cones and plasticine, which acts here both as a material for decoration and as a connecting element.

First of all, you need to take a large bump and break off a few scales from its side so that the small bump is conveniently attached to it. Then you need to glue the cones together using a small piece of plasticine. The owl's body is ready, but the work is not finished yet!

The eyeballs only need to be flattened and stuck to the head. The ear balls should also be flattened, but then pinch the resulting cake a little from one edge, and then fix it and the second one of the same piece on the owl's head.

The next step is to roll 2 oblong rollers of black plasticine and attach them to the eyes - these are the pupils of an owl.

With the largest of the prepared balls, you need to proceed as follows: cut in half, flatten, pinch in the same way as the ears of an owl, and attach on the sides of the calf to make wings.

The final touch is the beak. It is very simple to do it: you need to pinch off a little yellow plasticine and roll a cone out of it, and then attach it in the center of the head just below the eyes.

The owl made of cones and plasticine is ready! You can plant it on a pine branch and put it in a prominent place at home so that the child knows that his talents are appreciated.

For this lesson, a craft is created from cones and acorns. To make an owl from these materials, you need to follow a few simple steps:

• Remove the bud petals where the eyes should be.
• Glue the cone to a cardboard stand for stability.
• Disassemble the acorn and leave only the lid, glue it into the space cleared for the eyes and insert a bead, button or special eyes for needlework into the lid.
• Cut out the parts for the beak and legs from cardboard and attach them to the owl's body.
• Glue wood leaves to the cone on both sides so that you get wings.

The owl made of cones and acorns is ready! The process of creating such a craft probably brought a lot of joy to the child.

What can be made from bumps

Cones can not only be combined with interior items, but also create stand-alone decorations. You can also always make funny animals, and the process of creating products will intrigue not only a child, but also an adult.

Using cones, you can create:

Cones processing

Before you start making crafts from cones, you should carefully process the cones:

1. Contaminated material should be washed and dried naturally.
2. Clean less contaminated material with a brush.
3. Unripe and unopened buds should be placed in a slightly heated oven with the door ajar. You will notice that moisture will evaporate from the wet cones, while the unopened ones will gradually open up in the form of fir branches.

If, according to the idea, closed cones are needed, then in order to avoid opening the petals, you need to soak them in wood glue for 30 seconds. To transform, soak the cones in water, and then tie them with a thread, giving the desired shape. Craft materials can be left in their natural form or covered with artificial snow, varnish, paint. Everything will depend on the conceived craft.

Roll two identical balls from colored plasticine, and then crush them into round pancakes of the same size. These will be the eyes for your owl. Attach them to the spruce cone so that they are almost flush against each other. Make two sticks of plasticine of a different color and glue them vertically in the middle of the pancakes. These are the pupils.

Use your fingers to roll two round ears for the craft and two teardrop-shaped wings. Make the beak a triangle and attach it immediately near the eyes. Form two paws with a special knife, cutting each plasticine cake into three parts and sharpening the tips with your fingers so that they look like claws.

Another version of a simple owl can be made from two cones. A small bump will be the head of an owl, and a larger one will be the body. Cut the ears, wings and beak of an owl out of thick paper and put on a bump, smearing them with a drop of glue. Sculpt paws from plasticine.
Fasten the two cones together.

Various details for an owl can be cut not only from paper, but also from pieces of felt.

Fluffy owl

To make a fluffy owl, pick up the cones that have the most open scales. Divide the lumps into small pieces. Spread the inner parts of the cone with a brush with PVA glue and fill them with cotton wool. Do not hammer it tightly. You can separately fill with cotton wool only those parts where the breast and head of the owl are located.

For the second fluffy owl, you'll need a feather boa. Wrap a large open cone completely around the boa, plugging it tightly into the gaps that form the scales.

Owls will look even more interesting if you paint the cones with acrylic paint or gouache before starting work.

Cut two circles out of a piece of cardboard. Draw the pupils for the bird on them with black paint. Glue the resulting eyes to fluffy blanks. To make eyes for an owl, you can use acorn caps. Draw pupils on their convex side and attach to the bird.

Ready-made plastic eyes with moving pupils can be purchased at craft stores.

Cut the owl's beak out of a piece of cardboard. Paint the resulting triangle with dark brown paint and bend it up. Glue the beak with clear glue.

Improvise with decorating your craft. You can make a headdress for an owl. Of
