Greetings, my dears! You and I fully immersed ourselves in autumn worries: we made preserves for the winter (compotes, preserves, pickles). But since September 1, new concerns have come to all homes where there are children. They are connected to a kindergarten and school. And I myself know firsthand how unexpected it is to always hear from a teacher or teacher that you need to bring autumn crafts from vegetables or fruits. Because you need to take part in an exhibition on the theme “Autumn”. And the care of moms and dads begins. They think about what they can do that is quick, beautiful and simple. Vegetables and fruits are taken from the cabinets. Each fruit undergoes careful selection, and the head of the family goes to the neighbors or simply looks for a suitable idea on the Internet. In general, you definitely won’t be bored.

I want to make this task easier for parents and have made a large selection of photographs of various ideas and crafts made from fruits. There are easier options, but there are also more complex ones. When you need to gather all your neatness to make it beautiful. But the chance of getting some kind of nomination immediately increases.

Thank you in advance to all the parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters who share their creativity on social networks and the Internet in general. Thanks to your desire to show joint creativity on one of those sleepless nights, other parents get a lot of new ideas for their crafts.

Let's look at craft options 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 fabric. You can create an individual fairy tale character, or you can create an entire composition.

Pumpkin crafts

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

A cute minion for your attention. There are toothpicks stuck on the top of the head, and a string instead of handles.

The Mouse Family also looks very memorable. The ears are made of colored cardboard. And stuck into the pumpkin using skewers. They are sold at most hardware stores. You can use any thick paints. But, if your craft will delight children on the street. Then coat it with varnish.

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

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, pumpkin or cabbage.

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

Another cute face with sad eyes. All additional parts can be made from plasticine or paper. You can glue them on with double-sided tape. Sunflower flowers, artificial and live grass are used to decorate the hat.

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 and seeds are removed from it.

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

Unusual ideas of black cats, mice and hares also spark the imagination. No additional tools are needed here; you don’t even always need a knife.

These are great examples for developing 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 heroes and move on to the compositions. This is how pumpkins make very beautiful houses.

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

And in this house live creatures made of bulbs.

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

You can use absolutely anything for decoration: beads, leaves, berries and ribbons.

Another composition option is to make a basket or vase for other fruits and flowers. In autumn there are a lot of different buds: asters, dahlias, gladioli, September flowers 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.

I couldn't get past this honey lover. I think he looks a lot like Winnie the Pooh.

Well, with your preschooler you can make Tortilla the turtle from the fairy tale about Pinocchio. You can also use assorted vegetables: carrots and potatoes. Moreover, they are attached in such a way that all the media 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 a duck. Sometimes the very shape of a vegetable reminds us of something. The main thing is to understand what exactly))

Look, nature did everything for us. The main thing is to give the right features and you will already have a beautiful goose with beads made of rowan berries.

Ideas from zucchini

You can combine vegetables. Let's say take a zucchini and a small pumpkin. And from these vegetables, the parents were able to come up with snails like these.

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

How about such a simple but very interesting pig?

Or here's Daddy Pig. The main thing is that he stays on his short legs.

Another version of a pig with ears and a tail made of paper. And instead of a spout they attached half a Kinder egg.

I found a couple of ideas for zucchini whales. Look how simple it is and without unnecessary details. The fins and tail are made from pea pods, and instead of a water fountain, you can attach a stem of parsley or dill.

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

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

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

Here Gena is made from zucchini, not cucumber. And next to it is a pumpkin Cheburashka and a squash tree. And 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 it to kindergarten, but will start playing corsairs at home. Cabbage sails always catch the wind, and a carrot rudder never goes astray.

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

You can send such a donkey to the exhibition. He is carrying a full basket 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 similar it is to the original is just a sight for sore eyes.

Previously, we made a penguin for kindergarten. But you can repeat it from vegetables.

You can make simple things that will look like fairy tales. For example, these shoes or sandals.

Oh, and here the mother clearly tried and reproduced those happy days when her baby was still sleeping in his crib.

Idea with a bunch of cabbage. With the right approach, the result was 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 the imagination. And I came across a lot of options for whales and penguins from this vegetable.

Look how similar it is to real birds. They just correctly conveyed the habits of these creatures.

Eggplant and potato friends.

Another idea for a little penguin from the cartoon “Madagascar”. The same fearless gaze and defiance of fate.

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

The King Whale is swimming in the sea. And your baby will really like it.

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

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

Let's move on to the next vegetables.

Several variations 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-like mane. All parts are held on with toothpicks.

Another unusual idea in the form of a goldfish.

From cabbage

You can make cute rabbits or a baby elephant from white cabbage. Beetroot is suitable for the head.

Here is another cute little animal from two heads of cabbage.

The bouncing bunny with cucumber ears will definitely captivate the teacher with her sweet smile. Only it will be a little heavy for a child, after all, two heads of cabbage.

Here's another little rabbit with potato legs. The nose is made from a tomato, and the eyes are made from boiled eggs. They can be replaced with an onion.

Cute ideas for poodles made from cauliflower sprigs.

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

Here is a sheep standing in a green clearing.

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

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

It’s a pity that we already ate all our cauliflower after cooking it.

From corn

An ear of corn costs 20 rubles in September. I think it could make a very inexpensive craft. What can you do? Well, for example, a rocket.

Or a horse that grazes on a bow.

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

What do you think of minions in denim sundresses? I think it turned out very funny.

And such an animal? He looks a lot like a squirrel.

You just 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

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

And even if you don’t have time at all, you do have a healthy sense of humor. Make a family like this. After all, the main thing is the idea and presentation, it is the freshness and unusualness of the craft that fascinates.

The bizarre shapes of the tubers can be very reminiscent of some kind of animal. For example, if you combine two potatoes, you can get a dog like this.

Or a heroic horse.

I also found this funny hippopotamus.

From cucumbers

A little higher we saw a crocodile made from a cucumber, 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 captivate everyone. She will definitely sing now: “Three hundred years ago...”

Crafts from onions and other vegetables

Now I’ll show you many more options for interesting crafts. They are made from onions, peppers, and sunflower seeds.

Look how funny Luntik turns out.

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

You can also make a beautiful hedgehog from squash and toothpicks.

How do you like the needles on the animal’s back in the shape of a sunflower?

Or like this.

Funny parrot made from bell pepper.

Bell peppers make beautiful tulips.

When there are only chestnuts at hand, see how you can beat them. The result is an oak tree made from autumn leaves, with “acorns” lying at the roots.

Olive and pepper palms will also win many hearts at the exhibition.

The grandfather of chestnuts and cones is very similar to a goblin.

A plot from the fairy tale about Cipollino with Countess Cherry.

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

The eyes are cut out of paper.

There are also a lot of ideas here.

Topiary, magic mugs

I wrote how to make topiary. You can also take this idea as a basis and make it from garlic and hot pepper.

Or chestnuts and rowan berries.

By the way, such crafts can not only be sent to an 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 a craft deserves attention.

Queens of autumn

I think that when you have 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.

Fun idea for queens with leaf crowns and watermelon dresses.

Now let’s get close to small fruit crafts.

Beautiful and quick DIY crafts made from fruits

Fruits are most often small in size, with the exception of melon and watermelon. This is where we will start our delicious selection.

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

The melon bunny is also very cute.

Sweet boat.

A lot of interesting ideas can be found from apples. 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 family of caterpillars looks very decent.

Funny little frog. What if we made a whole pond with them.

More ladybug ideas.

Funny elephant made from an apple.

From half an apple and a banana, craftsmen came up with such a phone.

Seasonal apples united into a wise caterpillar.

Apple peel snake idea.

Yes, another cute caterpillar with carrot legs.

What can be made from a banana? I liked the idea with dolphins.

Or another handsome guy like this.

Original lop-eared dachshund puppy. Maybe he will inspire someone to repeat this idea.

Make funny parrots out of pears.

Or hedgehogs.

Here is a detailed master class on how to create them. You will need the pear itself, toothpicks, grapes of any color and clove inflorescences.

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

The lemon fish turned out very bright.

Well, the kiwi koala just captivated me. Kiwi needs to be firm and sour. Otherwise, all the pulp will leak out.

My dears, but that’s not all. Indeed, one can simply envy the parents’ fantasies.

Master class on lemon mice for kindergarten

For small children it is difficult to come up with compositions with a lot of decorations and details. I would like to invite you to make a little yellow mouse out of a lemon with your baby.

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

We will need:

• lemon,
• 2 clove inflorescences,
• wire or thick thread.

First, cut a quarter of the lemon lengthwise. This is how we made the base so that the mouse’s body would not fall. We cut off the zest from a small part 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 slit 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 right through. Or you can make them from thread by stitching the fruit with a needle.

That's the whole craft. Fast and interesting.

Video on making crafts from vegetables

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

And cute potato sheep.

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

Autumn is a wonderful time, it seems as if nature is ready to give it all its colors before the cold winter. And as a great gift from this time of year, we receive all kinds of vegetables, which are not only healthy to eat, but also to make all kinds of crafts from them - interior decorations.

Today on the Dream House website we will talk about pumpkin. It is not only useful, but also has a beautiful color, from green with specks of yellow, to rich yellow and orange. The color and thick skin make pumpkin crafts durable and beautiful. They can please the eye for a very short time or, conversely, for a very long time. What can be made from pumpkin, how to extend the life of crafts? Let's talk about this.

What crafts can you make from a pumpkin with your own hands?

You can fill a child’s room with a large number of pumpkin crafts: a crib mobile, maracas, a lamp, etc. Together with the children, it will be interesting to make a carriage, houses, various animals, pumpkin boats, and all kinds of little people.

How to make pumpkin crafts: highlights

When getting acquainted with pumpkin as a material for crafts, it is best to get your hands on easy-to-make objects, and only after that move on to more complex crafts.

Selecting a tool

To make this or that craft, you need to properly prepare the available tools. Most often you will need:

• long knife;
• a scraper or spoon to remove the pulp from the pumpkin;
• paper for faster drying of the pumpkin;
• thin paper, coal;
• an awl to make small holes;
• scotch;
• paint, cutter, etc.

Selecting and drying the pumpkin

Most often, crafts are made from decorative pumpkins, but ordinary small specimens can also be used. Having chosen a suitable vegetable, inspect it for any rotten spots, wash it thoroughly and wipe it, preferably with an alcohol solution. Your next step depends on the purpose of the future craft.

If you do not plan to store it for a long time, then you need to simply dry the pumpkin, which will not take very much time. You should cut off the neck, remove the pulp and seeds with a spoon, then stuff it with plenty of paper to absorb moisture. Change the paper until it is no longer damp. Now the pumpkin is ready to use.

If you want to make something more serious, such as dishes, then you should know how to dry a pumpkin for crafts so that it lasts much longer. You will have to be patient because this process will take six months. To avoid disappointment at the end of the term, instead of a well-dried pumpkin, choose several pieces for drying. In the process, some of them may begin to rot. So, pumpkins washed and wiped with a weak alcohol solution must be put in a well-ventilated room not exposed to sunlight. Vegetables should not touch each other. Every day for 6 months, turn the pumpkins over and check if they have begun to rot so that you can remove the infected vegetable in time.

How to dry a pumpkin for crafts

Dried pumpkin crafts

Let's start creating

To make making pumpkin crafts with your own hands a lot of fun, use our tips:

• if the pumpkin was dried entirely, then before removing the seeds from it, pour water inside, then rinse the pumpkin;
• To apply a pattern to a vegetable, you should first apply it to thin paper, then use tape to glue it to the pumpkin and use an awl to “pierce” the pattern along the contour. After removing the paper, wipe the craft with coal, it will help fix the design. The second option is to use regular copy paper to apply the design;
• the final design is applied to a well-dried pumpkin using a jigsaw or wood burning device;
• You can apply a design to a fresh pumpkin using a regular vegetable cutter;
• if you decide to use paints, then give preference to acrylic ones;
• do not varnish the craft, the pumpkin must breathe;
• if a craft made from a fresh pumpkin begins to dry out, dip it in water for several hours;
• The design should be cut from the center;
• If you unsuccessfully cut out part of a design in a fresh pumpkin, you can return the cut piece using wire.

Pumpkin Crafts for Beginners

Having been fired up by the idea of ​​creating something, I don’t want to wait 6 months. Therefore, we bring to your attention the simplest crafts made from natural material - from pumpkin.

Pumpkin candle

Prepare a small pumpkin as described above. After quick drying, carefully secure the wick to the bottom of the pumpkin and pour wax inside. You can use aromatic wax.

Small candles - round pumpkin crafts

Candlestick

Follow the steps described for making a pumpkin candle, only at the end, instead of wax and wick, place a small candle inside the vegetable. If you wish, you can first apply a design and make the candlestick more openwork. You can also make a lamp.

Pumpkin basket

Perfectly decorate the autumn table. Cut the pumpkin into a basket, cutting out any excess. Remove the seeds and dry quickly. The handle of the basket can be carved, and a simple design can also be applied to the side parts of the pumpkin.

Today I will show you how to make the funniest, most beautiful and brightest autumn crafts! You and I have already made miracles from vegetables and fruits. But pumpkin should be highlighted as a separate topic. She deserved it! The color, shape, and density of the fruit make it possible to prepare many interesting things from the vegetable. By the way, perhaps you would like to share your work? Send photos and tell us how you took them. So, together, we will put together a separate collection of crafts. Feel free to share the link to this build with your friends and subscribers on social networks!

There is another plus for pumpkin! You can make works from this material all year round, both for autumn holidays, such as Halloween, and for winter holidays, such as New Year. We can decorate everyday life with bright colors if we make an original vase or lamp.

Crafts on the theme “Autumn” can be completely different, as simple as with a mono-pattern (carved on the skin of a vegetable or by making an applique). And there are also complex, but incredibly beautiful compositions.

Application Autumn.

• We collect different autumn leaves or cut them out of paper.
• Paint the pumpkin the base color. It is advisable to make it darker than the pattern.
• We paint each leaf in autumn red-orange-yellow tones.
• Glue the leaves to create an autumn pattern.
• You can cut out figures in the form of cones or acorns from the leaves and stick them between the leaves.

Decoupage.

Another great way to decorate a vegetable is to cover it with paper napkins - this will be decoupage.

For example, we paste on cut out motifs.

Another option for those who love shiny decor: paint part of the vegetable, and spread the other part with glue and sprinkle with glitter.

The pumpkin can be painted with spray paints. Completely, or covering part of the vegetable with adhesive tape, in order to get a geometric pattern. You can also paint with a brush or acrylic paints.

And what delicious donuts they make.

You can use stencils with various patterns and apply paint with a sponge or use aerosols.

The easiest option is to decorate the pumpkin using colorful tape. You just need to stock up on colorful tapes. They are sold in craft stores, office supply stores and stores that sell gift wrapping supplies.

Turkey baby.

• Cut out the head, eyes, beak, beard and paws from cardboard or felt.
• Glue variegated autumn leaves from a maple (or other tree) as a tail to the back of the pumpkin.
• We glue the paws on the bottom front.
• On top (towards the tail of the pumpkin) we place the head with a beak and eyes. And under his head - a beard.

This craft using leaves is simple, but looks original.

Forest animals.

We paint it in the main color, add eyes, ears, and a tail from felt, foamiran or cardboard. And we get an owl, a raccoon or a fox.

Cats.

The shape of the fruit, which can be so different in pumpkins, can tell you what to depict. For example, funny cats.

Or these wonderful cats. You can fasten the head to the body using sharp skewers or stiff wire.

Autumn crafts from pumpkins on the theme of gifts of autumn for kindergarten

Making a craft from a material like pumpkin is very interesting! You can come up with such stories!!! At least from a fairy tale. For example, this work!

"Turnip".

• We make the head separately. As I understand it, this is the grandfather who pulls the turnip. We make hair, eyebrows and mustaches from paper or straw. We draw the mouth and eyes. But the nose is half a potato. We place a hat on our head.
• Cut the turnips in half. We need half with tops. We place half of the turnip on brown cloth or paper so that it looks as if the turnip was half taken out of the ground.
• A mouse is running nearby. It can be made from beetroot, carrots or potatoes.
• There is a basket next to grandfather. Peel half a large cucumber or zucchini. Remove the insides of the vegetable. Cut off the bottom for stability. We put a circle of bell pepper on the zucchini. Fill the basket with cherry tomatoes and a bunch of green onions.
• If desired, you can build a fence.

Difficult? Nothing like this. Just a lot of details. And they are all made from different vegetables and fruits.

Animals.

You can also make a house for animals or dolls.

Master class on how to make a vase and ekibana with pumpkin and flowers

It is very difficult to choose what to show you. There is always more work than can be described. Therefore, I decided to very briefly talk about several crafts. Briefly, but so that you can understand and easily repeat.

Ekibana.

• In a large flower pot (or in a small bucket) we place different autumn flowers (preferably, if possible, natural, not artificial).
• We coat a small pumpkin with varnish. Place it on a bamboo skewer and place it between the flowers.

Vase or flowerpot.

• Where the vegetable has a tail, cut a hole. We clean it from the insides literally to the walls.
• Place a vase of water in the middle and fill it with flowers. But you can put a whole pot of flowers in a pumpkin.

Ekibana "Face".

• We have already looked at how to make a vase. Cut out a circle, take out the insides and insert a jar of water.
• By the way, instead of a jar, you can put a sponge moistened with water at the bottom.
• For a real Ekiban, the bouquet is not important, but the plot is important. Therefore, we choose twigs of barberry and rose hips, painted in bright colors in autumn.
• We use two empty snail “houses” as eyes.
• We draw “pupils” on the snails. Making the mouth.

It turns out to be a real ekibana, or a bouquet with meaning and plot!

And here is also an interesting option made from a small pumpkin.

If you use fresh flowers, use a floral sponge to prevent them from wilting.

How to make a carriage out of a pumpkin with your own hands

It turns out that not only Cinderella’s godmother can do such a miracle as turning a vegetable into a carriage, but you and me too! Once again, a huge number of options await you!

With dolls.

• If you have dolls, you can use them to create crafts. You just have to dress up Barbie, because she’s almost a Princess!
• We make 3 holes. One large, two smaller, they are located on the sides of the large hole.
• We cover small window openings along the edging with tape.
• We decorate the carriage doors with curtains and rhinestones.
• Glue a crown on top of the carriage.

White carriage.

• For this and similar carriages, you need a template. Therefore, we immediately draw on paper what kind of doors and windows you want (taking into account the size and shape).
• Using a template, cut holes on both sides.
• We make wheels from wire and attach them to the pumpkin. You can wrap them with foil or rope and cover them with paint.
• We apply the pattern.

It would be good to find small horses, and then we can hope that the carriage will move.

Wheels can be made from cardboard, or wire, or small vegetables.

Here are some more options and ideas.

What kind of craft can be made from a pumpkin for the autumn holiday?

I myself know how unexpected it is to always hear from a teacher or teacher that you need to bring autumn crafts from vegetables or fruits. Because you need to take part in an exhibition on the theme “Autumn”. And the concern begins for moms and dads: they think about what they can do that will be quick, beautiful and simple.

Vegetables and fruits are taken from the cabinets. Each fruit undergoes careful selection, and the head of the family goes to the neighbors or simply looks for a suitable idea on the Internet.

In general, you definitely won’t be bored. Save the ideas I found in a collection, they might come in handy. The arms of an unknown little animal made of felt - you can trace them for children. And the eyes are purchased, but you can make them from felt and attach them to sticks, which will have to be installed so that the lid is slightly open.

To lift your spirits in gloomy autumn, you can make such cute little people - snowmen.

Or cute cats.

Kindergarten is a place for creativity. This baby can be made from a pumpkin, a pacifier and a hat.

How do you like this hoof? His face, as you can see, is made of paper, but you can draw it directly on the vegetable with paints. And don't forget to decorate your hat.

A pumpkin house for gnomes is also quick and easy to make, and looks beautiful, especially if you decorate the adjacent lawn.

And here is a pumpkin house for Mole. You will need a small pumpkin on which you need to draw a window and an entrance with a pen, then cut out the holes with a knife. Use a spoon to scoop out all the insides.

We make tiles from dried birch leaves (attach with hot glue). The door and window are made of twigs, also attached with hot glue.

You can decorate the Christmas tree-cone with pompoms or plasticine balls.

I also liked the house and the palm tree.

And this option is straight out of a fairy tale about a tower house, right?

Or you can do a painting. YOU WILL NEED:

• Pumpkin
• PVA glue
• Sequins
• Acrylic paints
• Tassels

We paint the vegetable white or whatever color you have. Apply a pattern with PVA glue using a brush and generously sprinkle with glitter. When the glue dries, you can attach additional glitter with PVA glue.

Here's how beautifully you can decorate a vegetable with leaves. It is best to glue on PVA.

Using the decoupage technique you can also make a beautiful decorative pumpkin. To do this, glue the napkins you like (only one top layer) onto PVA. You can press the napkins on top with a damp kitchen sponge. This way the drawing will stick well and will look as if it was painted.

If you don’t want monsters and monsters, you can do something cute and positive. For example, little fox, what do you think of the idea? We cut out parts from colored cardboard and paper and glue them using a hot gun. True, hot glue does not stick well to vegetables. So, if you decide to repeat it, it’s better to use tape, or more hot glue.

Here are some cool cartoons. This is how you can make all round characters, for example Smeshariki or Angry Birds.

Here's a real pirate!

It seems to me that no vegetable/fruit conveys the atmosphere of autumn like pumpkin. Children can be entrusted with the eyes of owls, because the goal of this task is not to strain parents at night, but to bring them closer to their children through joint creativity.

Basket.

The vase that we made a little earlier and the basket differ in that one has a hole on top, while the other has a hole on the side.

Of course, you can make even side cuts on both sides of the pumpkin. That is, I’ll explain this point a little more clearly: we cut out semicircles on the sides. At the same time, the lower side of the semicircle is flat, and the top is an arc. If this is done on both sides, a thin strip will remain on top, reminiscent of a basket handle.

If you want to make the cuts uneven, as in the picture, it is better to make a template on paper and transfer it to the vegetable on both sides.

We made a hole, and now we take out everything from inside the pumpkin.

We cleaned the insides and placed a sponge moistened with water inside. We stick autumn flowers and leaves into the sponge.

But you can put fruits and vegetables in the basket.

How do you like the idea of ​​making a summer cottage with a house inside, or a forest and a wolf howling at the moon?

Or you can make a puppet theater.

DIY jack-o'-lantern (Jack-o'-lantern in Minecraft)

According to legend, the Irishman Jack, who led a very riotous and idle lifestyle after death, could not get to either heaven or hell and wandered between worlds with a lamp in the form of a pumpkin with a candle.

In Minecraft, the authors of the game drew such a lamp. Moreover, unlike the torch in the game, it can be placed under water and it will not go out. This makes it one of the best sources of underwater lighting. Unfortunately, we will not be able to purchase a cube-shaped vegetable. Therefore, we will have to go a different way. We will make the pattern almost the same as in Minecraft, i.e., pixelated.

• We cut out the eyes square.
• We cut out the mouth from a row of squares: the outer squares look down, the square in the middle is at the top.

It turned out to be a scarecrow! Don't forget to place a candle in the middle of this head.

By the way, if you have a thin skin, you can cut out both the eyes and the mouth from more pixels!!!

How to cut a lamp correctly:

1. Select a vegetable, wash it well and dry it. Cut off the “lid” and carefully remove seeds and fibers through the hole. Try to get rid of the pulp as much as possible, so your craft will last longer.
2. Degrease one side on which you plan to cut out the applique. Draw a face with a marker. It will be easier and more accurate to print the desired design on a sheet of paper and secure it to the vegetable using safety needles and cut out everything you need using the finished template. If you did not use a template, but drew the outline of the design on the pumpkin with a marker, then wipe the traces of the marker with alcohol, giving the craft a neat look.
3. After you have cut out the face, leave the vegetable to dry overnight. Then complete the composition by inserting a candle or other light source inside.

I love patterned lamps. Holes are easy to make with a drill.

How to make a pumpkin head for Halloween

To get a head, you need to take a very ripe fruit. Then it will be easier to cut, and the craft will dry quickly, which means it will last longer and “delight”)

• First, prepare a paper template, the design of which is transferred to the pumpkin.
• When we have outlined from the template where and what the holes will be, we boldly cut them out.

Remember, the expression of the “face” can be different, from sinister to sweetly smiling! I am not a supporter of this “holiday” and do not want it to enter Russian culture. Since this is not a holiday at all, and every year on this day many children disappear. Although for some reason the media and educational institutions diligently promote this tradition. And there is a demand for carving, even in kindergartens they give such a task. Therefore, I will show several interesting and not creepy options.

I will also show you the simplest option, which can be cut out even without a template.

Cat's head.

• Cut out round or triangular (as it turns out) eyes.
• Under the eyes we cut out a nose, a strip from it downwards and two more to the sides, the edges of which are slightly raised.
• We make small cuts - mustaches.
• We attach the ears to wooden skewers or toothpicks.

I don’t even know whether such a pumpkin head will scare or amuse me. What do you think?

You can create something like Winnie the Pooh with a barrel of honey. Well, that’s if you have absolutely nowhere to put the fruits).

Probably the easiest way to make autumn souvenirs from such a sunny vegetable is to draw faces on it and decorate it with additional attributes. Look how cool the boy and girl turned out.

Another option is to paint the head with gouache or acrylic. You can even eat such a pumpkin after the holiday. What will come of this? Look!

So, the collection is over and is waiting for your additions.

In the meantime, you can subscribe to know about every new article!

A sad time, the charm of the eyes... Stop! Why, exactly, is she sad? Well, even if it’s raining outside the window, the wind and the sun are not visible because of the clouds for many days now. You can create a good mood with your own hands and autumn will sparkle with bright colors, despite the vagaries of nature.

In the fall, schools and kindergartens host various exhibitions and fairs of nature's gifts. Children, with the help of their parents, make outlandish things from the flowers that are present on our table every day.

Baby ones can be made from various vegetables, including pumpkins. The advantage of the vegetable is that it is quite simple to work with and it is quite inexpensive. And if pumpkins are grown in your own garden, then the material for creativity is completely free.

Even kids can make easy pumpkin crafts. Parents only need to cut out the necessary details, and the child can put them together and decorate them on his own. Different varieties of this vegetable can be combined with each other.

Some parents show miracles of ingenuity and come up with something unusual, others take a simpler path, because the shapes of vegetables themselves give the master ideas for composition.

It is not necessary to use a cutting tool at all. Using your imagination, decorating an unusually simple pumpkin is very easy. Using gouache or acrylic paint, the color of the craft is changed, and then it is pasted over with another natural material - autumn leaves.

A pumpkin craft for the youngest children, which they will take to kindergarten, can be a simple turtle made from half a round vegetable. The paws, tail and head can be made from a cucumber.

You can make the well-known Scary Story from the fairy tale “The Wizard of the Emerald City”. To do this, the child just needs to draw his face and put on a suitable hat; the body will be a bag of straw.

Permanent exhibits of the autumn exhibitions are folk motifs. Making a pumpkin grandma and grandpa is very easy. And the child will gladly take part in this.

Not everyone knows how to properly dry pumpkins for crafts. In order for the exhibit to be stored as long as possible, it must initially have a long tail. Vegetables should be dried in a well-ventilated area, perhaps near a radiator. It is advisable to place the pumpkin on a wire rack so that air blows on it from all sides. As soon as the seeds inside begin to rattle when shaken, you can begin to work.

For the autumn exhibition, children and their parents can make unusual pumpkin crafts in stages. Children love the mysterious light pouring from within. Scary Halloween faces are suitable for older students, and kids will love the fun jack-o'-lanterns.

Master class “Pumpkin lanterns”

and now in October it’s time to write about what interesting things can be made from pumpkin. In its entirety, it retains its shape and freshness for quite a long time. This means you will be happy for at least a month.

But once you cut this vegetable and take out the insides, it will quickly begin to lose its elasticity. Therefore, I advise you to make crafts from the whole fruit.

There are also decorative small varieties and food varieties that grow quite large. And their size gives great freedom to imagination. You can make elements of different sizes and combine them; below I will show such compositions.

Let's list the main options for ideas that are not difficult to make and are very popular among creative people. Often they are made by parents and children to decorate a group in a kindergarten or a classroom at school for an autumn ball or autumn holiday.

Coach

I'll start with the carriages. A very famous fairy tale about Cinderella, where a pumpkin turns into a carriage. An excellent motive for creativity.

Most often, the inside of the vegetable is pulled out, and the doll is seated inside. The door and windows are cut out. They are also beautifully decorated along the contour.

The wheels are made from small pumpkins, cardboard, oranges and heads of garlic. It is original to use metal elements, wire or conventional dryers.

This vegetable is easy to paint with acrylic paints. And put glitter, lace or colored paper on PVA glue. You can also decorate it with a crown.

Now you have the idea of ​​combining this vegetable with eggplants, zucchini and squash.

You can make the carriage itself an art object, or you can create an entire composition based on it or reproduce a plot from a fairy tale. It all depends on your desire and the amount of time available.

Decorative elements are made from scrap materials: plasticine, children's rubber bands and decorative flowers.

Parents love this craft for its simplicity and clarity.

Transport

Boys and dads love to sculpt something from vehicles.

Buses and steam locomotives are also made from zucchini and pumpkin.

Inside, an LED candle or flashlight is placed in the cleaned pumpkin. Then the effect of the lights being turned on in the carriages is created.

Snail

Girls will love the cute and beautiful vegetable snail.

To decorate it, you can take rhinestones and ribbons. Beautiful fall leaves will complement the fall theme.

It is also convenient to connect parts with toothpicks, skewers and wire.

You don’t have to fasten the neck and shell together, but simply fix them on the backing base. Then the craft will not fly apart.

Hedgehogs

For creativity with small children, choose the idea of ​​hedgehogs. It consists of one element and does not require complex adjustment of parts to each other.

Decor in the form of apples, flowers, and rowan berries is placed on toothpicks. We use the same toothpicks to make needles. If you think that your baby might inject himself, then replace them with seeds or even roll up needles from plasticine.

Make a base from fallen real or paper leaves.

If desired, the hedgehog's body can be painted in brown shades with acrylic paints.

A pumpkin tail is often used as a spout. But it can be pulled out of plasticine or made from carrots.

Houses

Here the imagination is limitless. Cute fairytale houses for boys, elves and real palaces are made from pumpkins.

You can use plasticine for decoration. If the vegetable is pear-shaped, then the result is a multi-story building.

Moss, coniferous branches and dried flowers complement the houses well. Often act as a roof.

Perhaps hobbits lived in such round holes.

Spider and web

What else can you make from a round vegetable? Well, for example, a spider. For the paws, take shaggy wire, it is sold in craft stores.

Or in front of you is a completely vegetable craft. Look at the idea of ​​creating carrot paws.

Or even from branches.

Now let's see how to make a web.

An option when the thread is wound onto pins. Or below you can see that toothpicks are inserted, on which the ends of threads or thin wire are tied.

A very beautiful spider web can be made from sisal.

Muzzles

I have selected ideas for faces and muzzles for you. Below, grandma. It’s interesting that they came up with a hat made from a lampshade.

Kolobok girl in daddy's slippers.

A quick craft with beautiful paper elements.

According to the principle of creating snowmen, similar people are obtained.

We will meet scarecrows, unicorns and foxes below.

A craft made from pumpkin, cones and leaves is in front of you. With the help of these natural gifts we created our hair.

The Scarecrow's hat from the fairy tale about the Emerald City was beautifully decorated with autumn gifts. Which is very much in keeping with the autumn theme.

Or this cute Scarecrow. For a cap, take a plastic bottle. A matting, tourniquet or straw is suitable for hair.

There are also faces in sunglasses, especially when your fellow cones are sunbathing in the sun.

With the help of vegetables of different sizes and simple decor, you can create a family.

Someone came up with the idea of ​​making a snowman's head out of a pumpkin. Well covering the orange color with white.

Unicorn

Such unicorns look unusual and not yet familiar.

The horns are made from a paper cone, sewn from fabric and stuffed with cotton wool.

But a horn made of felt, rolled into a spiral, also looks good.

For hair, take a multi-colored “rain”, yarn or thin strips of paper.

Ideas for an exhibition for schools and kindergartens for the autumn holiday

Now let's talk about what ideas you wouldn't be ashamed to show at an exhibition. You need something original and beautiful.

Bouquets

For example, let’s take and make a composition of pumpkin and flowers. But we need them not to wither. There are two ways out for this.

First, use a floral sponge.

First, a hole is cut into the pumpkin for the glass. The pulp with seeds is removed. And a sponge is inserted into the glass. It is filled with water. And then flowers are inserted into it.

Another option for those who don’t have such a sponge on hand.

A hole is also cut into the pumpkin for a glass or vase. Water is poured into it and a bouquet is placed.

It turns out to be a vegetable vase.

For variety, you can draw a clock on one side of such a vase.

It will be more unusual and will attract attention.

I thought the food options were original. For example, look how beautifully they depicted a container of popcorn.

Here comes the pumpkin latte. By the way, a cream cap can be made from cotton balls.

Here's an idea if you have a decorative pumpkin. Thanks to their small size, you can make ice cream.

Or light but original donuts.

We use toothpicks as spines.

Olaf

For the exhibition you need to try to do something original. How do you like Olaf? And you can’t tell that there’s a pumpkin hidden under the layer of paint.

Here is an idea from the fairy tale “Turnip”.

Here is a plot from "Cipollino".

And here they are repairing the carriage.

Here, Smeshariki lovers depicted Kopatych.

And here is a simple, but interesting and neat mink with mice. Reminds me of a wheel of cheese.

Baskets and lanterns

A pumpkin basket will also surprise the jury. Of course, if it has an openwork pattern.

Based on the basket, unusual ideas come to mind, like this one.

Also, the lanterns look beautiful. To do this, remove the pulp from the vegetable. Holes are made in the crust. And an LED candle is inserted inside.

Cats

Below is a selection of cats. All ears are made of colored cardboard.

As decoration there is braid with ribbons or ordinary leaves.

Here is a cat from the cartoon “Three Cats”.

Here the child created a face out of cardboard. The idea has its place.

In this craft, a pumpkin was taken as the body; the remaining details can be repeated from cardboard, plasticine and wood.

A cute black cat also fits our theme.

They are also very neat and intelligent cats.

The complexity of their implementation is not great. However, cats look very presentable.

Owl

The wise owl is also done quickly.

An important step here is the design of the eyes and wings. They are made from thick felt, foamiran or cardboard.

Feathers add naturalness.

More ideas with felt faces.

Here we see that seeds were used to represent the eyes and ears.

The pupils and beak were simply cut out of the vegetable.

The most beautiful autumn pumpkin crafts

Of course, these are not all ideas. There were simply an incredible number of them.

Mushrooms

For example, mushrooms are made from natural materials.

To do this, use half a peeled pumpkin for the cap and half a zucchini. It acts as the stem of a mushroom.

You can stick a leaf on the hat to make the craft more similar.

Watch

Let's take a closer look at the clock. Here are three unusual options. Using nuts and metal objects. Or a lantern clock. Also a children's version with a plasticine mechanism.

Kettle and houses

Minions

Minions can be made quite easily.

Moreover, the size and variety of pumpkin is not important here at all. Both elongated and round fruits are suitable.

They can draw clothes, or they can sew them.

I think that this option can also be sent to the exhibition.

Disney

In this subsection I have combined famous Disney characters. Here's a teapot from Beauty and the Beast.

Pinocchio and Goofy are here.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse. Also Olaf, Monsters, Inc. and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I think it’s not difficult to repeat Minnie Mouse with children. The main thing here is to convey the silhouette with the ears and everyone will recognize it.

Nemo

The famous fish Nemo also makes a great fish from a pumpkin.

By the way, note that the fins and tail are made from shells.

Harry Potter

For Harry fans, here are some ideas.

Cool, isn't it? You can simply draw a face, or you can sculpt it from plasticine.

Girls can easily make Kitty out of a pumpkin.

Original and simple.

Have you watched the cartoon about Rose and Tristan? Here they are!

Cipollino

We also meet characters from Cipollino in crafts.

Pinocchio

To create it you need a pumpkin with a long tail.

Angri bird

These birds are also known to everyone. And they are also based on pumpkin.

Painted in the desired shades.

Decoupage and drawings

Pumpkin crafts also look beautiful as autumn decor. To decorate it, you can take templates and acrylic paints.

Show your imagination and paint with patterns and ornaments.

These are the unusual decorative vegetable vases you get.

The peel is decorated using decoupage technique. To do this, glue is applied to the skin. Remove the top layer from the napkin. And the layer with the pattern is glued onto the surface of the pumpkin. Then straighten and fix with a brush with PVA glue.

You can sprinkle glitter or sparkles on the same glue.

Decorate its surface with even holes. And put an LED or halogen candle inside. And then light will come out through these holes. You will get an original candlestick.
