Friends, I greet you!

Autumn is golden, leaves are falling from the sky... But besides this, there are a lot of vegetables in the garden that require disposal. Adults make preparations for the winter from them, but I suggest you make crafts. Moreover, from one rather large orange fruit, which is called a pumpkin.

At school or kindergarten, teachers always ask something like this, and come up with it, because there are fairs and exhibitions ahead. To which students and preschoolers always bring their unusually beautiful and interesting pumpkin crafts.

What young people haven’t come up with on this topic are royal carriages, Jack’s head for Halloween, which we all see in November, and many other characters and even figurines. As they say, who knows what.

Of course, you can build something simple, or, if you are older and like to make things, then something more difficult. In any case, ingenuity and imagination will definitely come in handy. For children kindergarten and younger schoolchildren primary school I suggest making different kinds of paintings from pumpkin seeds. I saw one of these works on one site https://minyt-ka.ru/podelki-iz-tykvy.html, but there, among other things, there are also a lot of new and original ideas. In general, I recommend going in and taking a look, maybe you can pick something from there.

But what no exhibition takes place without is, of course, a carriage or crew. You can also put a prince or princess there. Or maybe you are in love with Cinderella, then make a gift for her.

We will need:

• pumpkin
• kebab sticks, wooden
• paints
• plasticine
• white tape
• wire

Stages:

1. So, create wheels from wire. Make them round, and use a circle of plasticine in the middle to secure the knitting needles.

2. Then make a plasticine edging to make the wheels more powerful.

3. And then wrap the four wheels with white tape. Now take paints and a brush, apply the desired color.

You could use electrical tape, and then you wouldn’t have to paint it, because it comes in different colors, for example blue or black would be perfect for this purpose.

4. Wrap wooden sticks or any that you have with tape or tape.

5. Now the most labor-intensive process, and of course the creative one. Remove the pulp from the orange fruit. To do this, remove the top with the stalk. And make an entrance and windows on each side.

6. After that, all you have to do is pierce the bottom with a stick and put the wheels on, the car of your dreams is ready for work and defense).

You can go the other way, using a different method and making a craft using the carving technique.

For very young creators, you can easily and quickly recreate any cartoon character. For example, the Carousel channel often shows the cartoon “Thomas and His Friends.” Take this idea as a basis.

We will need:

• pumpkin, decorative - 1 pc.
• acrylic paints - blue
• brush, glue
• eyes
• black colored paper
• scissors
• toilet paper roll

Stages:

1. First cook the pumpkin, wash it and dry it. Then use a brush to paint it blue. This needs to be done in two stages; once the first layer has dried, apply acrylic paints again and let them dry completely.

2. Use scissors to cut out the face for the main character in the form of two circles. One should come out black, the other white, of different diameters. And take the eyes and glue the face to the white circle, the nose and eyebrows can be drawn, or you can use colored paper and use it to do this work.

4. In general, you will get a chimney in which you place pieces of cotton wool. This is how it will look.

I also really liked the idea with the snail, bravo to the author! True, they also used zucchini here.

Everyone will certainly remember this option if you make your own lantern from a pumpkin. Take a look at these steps to help you create this little thing.

It really looks cool and stylish, you could even call it a candlestick. Inside, by the way, is an ordinary paraffin candle.

Or these interesting toys that you can simply apply acrylic paint in the shape of a face.

Toys and figurines made from decorative pumpkins for the holiday

I suggest getting straight to the point and doing the best thing possible. beautiful gift or a souvenir that will remind everyone of a candlestick. It will decorate any interior at school, and even at home it will last for a year.

With this master class you will definitely want to repeat it. The instructions are detailed. Follow all the steps and step by step you will come to success.

We will need:

• small pumpkin
• rhinestones
• glue moment or glue gun
• round candle
• alcohol

Stages:

1. Start by degreasing the surface, wash the pumpkin with water, dry it and then use a cotton pad to wipe the surface with alcohol. Remove the stalk with a knife and make a small indentation on both sides. You will remove the pulp and seeds from one, and a light will shine from the other.

2. The diameter of the hole will be the same as your candle, or a little larger. Color any fruit acrylic paint, which one suits you best. You can also draw various kinds of patterns and drawings. Since the holiday is dedicated to autumn, you can draw leaves and twigs.

2. Pour glue into the hole and stick a candle, let it dry completely. Then decorate with rhinestones or you can take sequins. Light it up and admire your creation.

Also, from any decorative small pumpkins you can easily make interesting compositions of all sorts of funny faces. Use scissors to cut out the imaginary eyes, nose and mouth and this is what you can get.

Well, you can also make horror stories or scarecrows in the form of spiders or some other insects. These are usually brought for Halloween.

And of course, autumn is characterized by foliage and flowers. So why not take advantage of this and create some bouquets. And by the way, last time I showed you in more detail a way to preserve fresh flowers for a long time in a pumpkin, for those who haven’t read it, go ahead.

And this is what can happen.

How fun and bright it is, pleasing to the eye. Such baskets or vases, I don’t even know what to call them more correctly, and you can get such wonderful compositions from them.

Here's another solar job.

In addition to all this, you can also make a wreath along the contour of the pumpkin, look how great it looks.

A wreath on the doors will look stylish. This idea belongs to the Americans.

It is also not necessary to decorate with greenery and flowers; you can use berries or pine cones, for example.

Well, the most creative work can probably be called painting with acrylic paints.

I also came across works in the carving style, but in my opinion this is difficult to do, only masters can do it. Pear-shaped or bottle gourds work well for this purpose.

But, nevertheless, if you set yourself a goal, then maybe you will get such a thing. The main thing is desire and perseverance. And to make it easier for you to master this technique, I picked up a video from the YouTube channel. So, go for it! What gorgeous roses the author came up with.

Autumn crafts from pumpkins for kindergarten

For our most radiant children, I found such a work on the Internet, in the form of a house and ghosts. Let older children make Jack's head, but little ones don't need these scary stories. Let them be kind.

We will need:

Stages:

1. Fold a regular leaf four times, as shown in this photo. Ask your child to draw a little man or something that looks like a ghost or a ghost. It should look like this.

2. Carefully cut out the parts with scissors. And then draw the eyes.

3. Dry the collected colorful leaves of different trees and paint them with acrylic paint, which you take in an aerosol can. Let them dry.

Advice! If there are no leaves and there is nowhere to get them, then you can cut them out of colored cardboard or paper.

5. Glue all prepared products onto the pumpkin house. But how to do this? And it’s easy and simple, take a piece of plasticine and roll it into a small ball, and glue the windows, door and ghosts onto it. Good luck!

I can also offer another option: put a pumpkin in a hat and make a nose out of a carrot. Nothing special, but kids will like it and will be very excited.

We will need:

• small pumpkins
• carrots or parsnips
• toothpicks
• black paper
• old glasses
• hat
• cutting board
• black felt-tip pen

Stages:

1. So, take a parsnip or carrot, wash the vegetable, and dry it with a towel. If you are making several heroes at once, then take two or three vegetables at once. Now cut off the tip of the carrot with a knife, but so that it is not short, but about 5-6 cm. Then stick it into the middle with a toothpick.

2. And combine the parsnips with the pumpkin so that you get a nose. Draw eyes and a mouth with a marker.

3. Now all that remains is to dress up the handsome men. Put on a hat, glasses and you can, in principle, tie bows or tie a scarf. Are you grandparents or someone else?

There are even simpler options. For example, you can create this Kopatych from the cartoon Smeshariki together with your child.

Jumping Bunny and funny fox will amuse and delight your baby.

Or such a funny and mischievous hedgehog, apply plasticine to the back and stick toothpicks or wooden sticks there.

Here is such a funny mushroom, made not only from pumpkin, but also from zucchini.

Here, in general, the hero is completely made of modeling dough, only a pumpkin is taken as a basis, or use the same plasticine. Put on a cap or hat and the character is ready.

If you find suitable components for the body, then, for example, you can make a kitten or puppy like this.

Beautiful ideas and new crafts on the theme of Autumn using pumpkins

The decoration direction has become quite popular now and as they say in fashion or trend. Remember how you painted using ordinary paper napkins, here it’s about the same. In general, here are a few ideas in video format, take note.

Draw ornaments, lace and create your own new images, don’t be like everyone else. Make the work unique.

I want to show one work in more detail along with a description. I took it from one site.

We will need:

• white spray paint
• PVA glue
• napkins
• pumpkins

Stages:

1. Well, wash the pumpkins and wipe them dry with a towel. Then spray paint them over so they become white, if they are left orange, then the napkin, which subsequently sticks to the product, can transmit this bright color.

2. These are the little white pieces you will get, let them dry completely. Can be painted twice.

3. Cut strips from paper napkins. Ideally, they should be long enough to wrap around the vegetables.

4. Start gluing, apply glue to the surface of the pumpkin and attach a strip, and so on, until the product turns into a bright souvenir.

5. Decorate afterwards with any satin ribbons or other decor.

6. Design the second pumpkin differently, take other napkins with a different design.

In the same way, you can decorate small pumpkins that look like pears.

Wash the vegetables in running water, dry and degrease with alcohol or acetone.

Then paint the entire surface of the pumpkin with white paint. In the meantime, while the vegetable is drying, you can cut out all kinds of pictures from different napkins, these can be any animals, insects, birds and flowers, etc.

Well, then glue it with regular PVA using a brush.

After all your efforts, an excellent result awaits you. The background can also be made monochromatic by gluing the napkin you need. Decorate with an artificial branch with leaves.

Master class Pumpkin seed tree for children

Well, now let's talk about the most basic things. In schools and kindergartens, in principle, at any time of the year, there is always a place for activities that are directly related to natural materials. So, you know everything about a pumpkin, except for the pulp there are also seeds. So why not make something original out of them?

It can be in the form of a painting, or it can be directly in the form of a real tree, which is now fashionable to call topiary.

Let's start with the first option. You will need a whole bunch of well-dried pumpkin seeds, which you can color and dry in advance with paints of different colors. You can even fry the seeds in a frying pan if you want.

For this purpose, take gel food coloring(or paint with regular paints). And then drop a couple of drops of paint into a plastic bag and add seeds, shake the bag. So, shake until they are completely colored.

Then place it on a plate and let the pieces dry. In the meantime, you can draw the outline of a tree on a piece of paper.

Then color it with felt-tip pens or paints, or you can also cut out such an image from colored paper and glue it.

All that remains now is to glue the foliage from the seeds with regular PVA. This is such a beauty.

Or here's an option that might interest you.

Or perhaps such a drawing, as you can see here, the trunk is also made of natural material.

Here's an idea to note, in the shape of a cockerel). In case someone needs it.

Well, as I promised, we are moving on to the next version of work. This is topiary. By the way, this can be done for a teacher or educator on Teacher’s Day.

Take a piece of paper and roll it into a ball. Take any sheet size, you can take two or three, depending on what size it will be finished product. Using regular white or as it is also called masking tape, cover the bun. Insert a wooden stick, it can be a twig or, alternatively, a barbecue stick or a felt-tip pen case.

After that, apply a good layer of PVA glue directly over the tape. And immediately place the seeds, and so that they lie tightly to each other.

Wrap a wooden stick with a satin ribbon and tie a bow. You can also decorate the ball itself with beads. For an aesthetic and shiny look, coat the product with varnish.

But cover the jar in which the tree will stand with regular twine, just wrap it in a circle. In advance, applying PVA. Pour plaster or building mixture into the container, insert the creation and let the mixture harden completely. Place cotton wool or dry grass on top to hide the real material. This is such a charming flower.

Carving a snail from a pumpkin

Making this pumpkin snail is as easy as shelling pears. A few years ago, real Akhatinkas appeared in our house, just on the eve of autumn, and when the children suggested making a pumpkin craft in the shape of a snail, I initially refused this idea. I thought it was all very difficult. But, my dears, if you are also looking for a similar idea, then I will say in advance that carving a snail from a pumpkin is not at all difficult. Here even the pumpkin itself remains whole, we just cut off the side for stability and a stripe in a spiral, repeating the pattern of the snail shell.

The autumn harvest has already been harvested and is peacefully waiting in the wings on the pantry shelves. Zucchini, tomatoes, eggplants and pumpkins will delight you for a long time in winter, reminding you of a warm and successful summer. You can use pumpkin not only as a food product, but also make an interesting interior craft out of it.

Pumpkin's bright orange color is perfect for fall-themed crafts. Soft rounded shapes will fit perfectly into any composition. Pumpkin is easy to cut and you can depict any design on it that will please you for a long time. There are several rules for creating pumpkin crafts:

• use a sharp knife or cutter for cutting;
• You can cut it from raw or dried pumpkin. Remember that a raw one will quickly become unusable and lose its shape, while a dried one will last for many years.

To prepare the pumpkin, remove seeds and pulp, stuff it with newspaper or paper and leave for 2-3 weeks (changing the filling periodically). For kitchen crafts (vases, plates), it is better to dry the pumpkin for several months.

Various varieties of pumpkins for crafts
