"Autumn tree." Safonova Svetlana Alexandrovna.
To create this beautiful tree we needed:
1. Planter (can be a pot)
2.Gypsum
3.Newspapers
4.Making tape
5.Strong rope
6.Strong stick
7. Natural buds
8. Spruce needles
9. Rowan branches
10.Wolf white berries
11.Fallen leaves
Cooking steps:
We crumple the newspaper and give it the shape of a ball. Then, so that the ball holds its shape, we wrap it with masking tape (for a more durable job, I wrapped it with rope). Now we need to attach a branch to our ball. To do this, cut a small hole in the ball, 2-3 cm deep, coat the twig with glue and insert it. When the glue dries, we begin to glue the ball. We will glue the cones first (they must be well dried, because if the cones are damp, they will not stick). Then we will glue the leaves. Next you can glue rowan branches, spruce branches, wolf berries and any other decorations that suit our autumn theme. Then we prepare the solution in unnecessary containers and pour it into a flowerpot with a tree. In order for the solution to dry, you need to wait about two hours. After we have made sure that the solution has hardened, we proceed to decorating the flowerpots. We cover the surface of the solution with spruce branches, cones and anything else. So our bright tree is ready!

Nowadays, many residents of country houses strive to decorate a clearing or flowerbed with an unusual composition that will attract the attention of passers-by and delight the owners and guests. Today you will be inspired to make crafts from various waste materials.
Plastic bottles are empty containers no one needs. Many people simply mercilessly throw them into the bin or trash can. But, experienced needlewomen carefully collect plastic bottles of different shapes and sizes. For what? For making incredibly beautiful and original crafts for the garden and dacha. You can make different birds and animals that will become a real decoration for your garden plot.
This article is dedicated specifically to DIY crafts for the garden and dacha. You will learn about the secrets of making deer, sheep, cats, horses, etc. These funny and graceful animals, made with your own hands, also look great in the garden.
To make a brown deer, you need to take a five-liter plastic bottle and cut off the neck of it. A one and a half liter bottle is attached to the cutting site using self-tapping screws, bottom down. A liter bottle is attached to the neck of this container.
You just need to cut a circle in the center and insert the plug of the previous workpiece into it. The result is a head on a long neck and the body of a deer.
Then 4 holes are made in a five-liter bottle (bottom) and long wooden slats are inserted into them. These will be the legs of the animal.
The tail and ears are cut out of plastic containers and placed in the appropriate places on the craft.
All that remains is to paint the deer with brown and white paint, draw his eyes and attach antlers from ordinary intricately shaped twigs. The brown deer is ready!
Yellow fawn - DIY garden craft
The yellow fawn is made using the same principle, but there are a couple of nuances. The five-liter bottle is attached entirely, and the neck is the tail. The neck is made of a short wooden strip.
DIY yellow fawn Cat made of plastic bottles
This animal is made in a completely different way. First you need to collect a lot of plastic bottles of 2 or 1.5 liters, approximately 100 pieces.
How to make a garden craft in the shape of a cat step by step:
- From each container you need to cut off the bottom; this is the part of the bottle that is needed for work.
- Then you need to make two balls from a metal mesh: a large one for the body, a small one for the head. They are easily and securely connected with wire.
- Then you need to attach the bottoms of the bottles to the mesh. This can be done using thin wire or liquid nails.
- The hat, tie, tongue and eyes are made from pieces of old linoleum.
- All that remains is to paint the cat white (you can use any other color).
- Draw his eyes, nose and mustache with black paint. But decorate the tongue, headdress and tie in bright shades of red.
- To ensure that the structure stands firmly, it can be secured to a metal rod dug into the ground.
Cat made of plastic bottles DIY sheep
The big sheep was made using the same technology as the cat. You prepare the bottoms of the bottles and fix them on a ball formed from a metal mesh. The legs are made of wooden slats. The ears and face of the animal are carved from a five-liter bottle. But the small lamb is formed from polyurethane foam.
Sheep made from plastic bottles for the garden and cottage 
DIY horse for the garden
It requires a large plastic bottle. In our example, we replaced it with a plastic flower pot. This will be the basis for the body of the animal. Wooden slats are attached to four sides of the pot with self-tapping screws. The neck and tail are also sections of a wooden stick.
The horse's head is made from a paint can, and the hooves are made from plastic flower pot trays. The animal's mane and tail are an old blue wig. Instead of artificial hair, you can attach hay or threads.
The finished figure is covered with brown paint, and a favorite plant is planted in a pot. It turns out to be both a flowerbed and an interesting character!
Pigs are the most common crafts for the garden and dacha
Large water bottles can be used as original flower beds in the shape of a pig. To do this, the side of the bottle is cut off - flowers will grow there. Then the ears are cut out from the remaining sidewall.
Take four one and a half liter bottles and cut out the necks, these will be the legs of the pig. The resulting legs are attached to the body using wire. The piglet turns white or pink.
Then you need to fill the internal space with soil, after making several holes in the belly. Now you can plant the seedlings. This piggy will look great in combination with any other flower bed.
DIY craft - peacock for a dacha garden
Peacocks are incredibly beautiful birds. You can admire their tail for ages. It's a pity that not every yard can see such beauty. Although, the situation can be fixed! You can make a magnificent peacock with a long tail from ordinary plastic containers.
The following materials are suitable for work:
- foam;
- stationery knife;
- metal rod;
- stand (log);
- old canister;
- metal mesh;
- wire (thick and thin);
- awl;
- plastic bottles of all sizes;
- scissors;
- enamel paint of different shades.
First, take a stand (it can be a board or a wooden log) and fix pieces of a metal rod on it, making two legs for the future bird. Then you need to make a body from an old canister. To do this, the container should be given the correct shape by cutting off excess parts. You can secure the canister to your feet using wire.
Do-it-yourself peacock for a summer cottage garden The neck and head are cut out of foam and secured with wire to the canister (torso).
And all that remains is to form the tail. To do this, you need to take a metal mesh, cut it to size and lower it along the length to the floor. In order for it to hold, it must be attached to the canister with screws or wire. That's it, the base of the future bird is ready!
Now the most painstaking stage of the work is making feathers from plastic bottles. Wings require long feathers. To do this, the bottle is cut into strips, and oval oblong blanks are cut out of them. You will also need short oval parts to decorate the body and neck of the bird.
You can attach the feathers to the canister and foam using self-tapping screws or pieces of thin wire. In this case, you need to move exclusively from the bottom up, so that each subsequent layer hides the fastening of the previous parts.
For tail feathers, it is better to use 2-liter green plastic bottles. One bottle will yield 4 feathers. You need about 70-80 pieces. The tail feather has an oblong oval shape with fringe along the edges. It is better to immediately draw a pattern on each workpiece. When attaching feathers to the tail, you can use wire or nylon thread. You should move from bottom to top, closing the previous row.
The crest, beak and fingers are also cut out from plastic containers. The final stage of work is painting the feathers with enamel paint. Colors should be bright and saturated.
Our peacock made from plastic bottles is ready!
Unusual crafts for the garden with your own hands
To decorate a flower bed, you can use a wide variety of ideas, you just have to use your imagination. For example, you can give a second life to an old non-working TV.
To do this, open the back panel, throw everything out, leaving only the body. The panel needs to be put back. We fill the soil inside and outside the TV so that it looks like the earth is pouring out of the screen. Now we plant small flowers. The illusion is that a stream of color flows directly from the screen.
You can build an unusual flower bed using the most original items. This could be a wheel from an old cart, a rubber tire, old suitcases, dishes, umbrellas, basins and even old shoes.

Let's get started and look at what can be used to create a composition on the theme “Autumn”.
The simplest thing is to rummage through the pantry or refrigerator and fish out a couple of beautiful vegetable fruits.
With a little imagination you can create an incredible variety of compositions from them.
For example, a family of eggplant penguins.
Girlfriends made from beets, onions, pumpkin and cabbage. 
Funny corn farmers.
Miss Charm from watermelon. 
This idea simply delighted me. What a beauty! But they just painted the apples with gold paint.
Such a panel can be created from any autumn berries: cranberries, rutabaga, rowan or rose hips.

A couple of boiled corn minions. 
A real friendly family of onions. 
Now let's take a closer look at pumpkin and zucchini ideas.
What can be made from zucchini
There were quite a lot of zucchini crops this year, so it’s not a shame to use a couple of them for crafts. Moreover, we have already prepared enough of it.
Here is a train carrying a carriage with the gifts of autumn.
And this cutie is simply eye-catching.

Even just by drawing a face on a pumpkin, you can achieve originality and comedy. 
The pumpkin bird and the stand are made of natural materials very carefully and harmoniously.
I wrote how to insert bouquets into pumpkins a little earlier. The main thing is to remove the pulp from the fruit, otherwise it will quickly ferment and smell. We also use seeds for crafts; below I’ll show you how to do this. We insert a jar, glass or floral sponge inside the hollow pumpkin so that the flowers last longer. 
A pumpkin, like the apples above, can be painted to create a golden carriage for a doll.
In my opinion, no princess would refuse such a thing.
Autumn crafts made from natural materials
All you have to do is go for a walk in a park or forest, and you can immediately collect a bunch of materials for crafts. And sometimes you don’t even need to go anywhere, everything is at hand at home.
From walnuts
I remember that my mother used to store walnut shells specifically for crafts. And for good reason. See how many of them you can sculpt.
Hedgehog with buckwheat needles. 
These are probably peacocks. 
From plasticine and shells you will get a beautiful swan swimming in the lake.
A detailed description shows how to make a bird.
From the branches
Of course, branches help create entire compositions. We never cut them from a living tree. We collect only those that are already lying on the ground or have dried on the tree itself.
And now the composition with Baba Yaga in a mortar is made entirely of them.
Another composition made from natural materials and a birch twig.
This autumn clock also has a wooden frame.
This photo shows a whole exhibition of many materials. 
And now a small master class on how to make such a house from branches.
To begin with, we take a lot of plasticine. It can be replaced with polystyrene foam or polyurethane foam. The main thing is that the branches stick well into this material.
We make a thick flat foundation from plasticine. In which we stick branches around the perimeter. We determine where the passage and the door will be.
We completely cover the walls with branches.
Making a roof. We use a rubber band to connect the ends of the “beams”.
If necessary, you can use a glue gun. 
We make crossbars.
And cover the roof with leaves.

Or a whole composition with a couple of hedgehogs. By the way, it turned out very bright and positive.
But sunflowers made of corrugated paper with a center of real seeds.

The seeds can be painted with watercolors or gouache and dried. Then the child will be very interested in creating applications.
For this panel, I immediately provide a tree template.
You cut it out and decorate it with colorful seeds.

They can be used to decorate many crafts.
Light compositions of pine cones for kindergarten children
Cones are also a very affordable material. And for many ideas you don’t need a large number of them.
As a child, there were Soviet books with pictures describing step-by-step actions. Here are some of these simple master classes.
Such a simple lamb.
There are many variations with cones at once. 
You can also use them to assemble a basket of flowers.

To do this, an A4 sheet is folded in half. A leaf shape is cut out on the front side. And on the inside you glue all the autumn leaves. Then you cover it with the first sheet and you get a drawing. 
Let's make such joyful daisies or sunflowers.
We will need:
- colored cardboard,
- leaves,
- paper towel roll,
- cotton wool or gauze,
- Chupa Chups tube,
- glue.
Cut out two identical circles from colored cardboard. 4 cm in diameter. Draw a muzzle on one part. Glue leaves and a lollipop stick to the wrong side. Glue the leaves with the outside side up. And we cover the entire wrong side with a second round piece.
Now let's make a stand. Cut out a circle from cardboard that is 2 cm larger in diameter than the sleeve.
At the sleeve itself, we make 1 cm cuts on one edge and bend them outward. Fill with cotton wool or gauze.
A schoolchild could make such a panel.
It is made using a toothbrush, paint and leaves.
We put the template on the paper. Apply paint to the brush and move it along the bristles with a stick. When we were children, we used to run a brush over a comb with large teeth. If you take too much water, drops will appear on the application. It is better to squeeze the brush a little. 
You can use several layers of different intensities and colors.
Another beautiful autumn in human form.
Cute idea with a paper umbrella.

Paper ideas for school
You can make a lot of crafts from paper. Moreover, this material is now sold in different formats. The paper can be corrugated, self-adhesive, velvet, metal, etc.
You choose the material that suits the idea.
Offer your child this craft.
Let's take:
- toilet paper roll,
- PVA glue,
- stapler,
- markers.
You need to cut out this template. And roll along the line indicated by the dotted line. 
On long evenings, you can spend interesting leisure time together with the whole family if you start making crafts. Children very easily get carried away by any creative process, because they like to cut, paint or glue different parts. Interesting crafts can be made from items that are most often thrown into the trash. These can be oddly shaped, cardboard egg trays or drink cans. We offer several light ideas crafts for kindergarten.
Three-dimensional picture of egg trays
You can make bright flowers from cardboard trays, and even children can easily do this craft.
Materials:
- stretcher with canvas stretched over it (25 x 33 cm);
— glitter (glitters of different colors);
- cardboard egg trays;
- a set of paints;
- thin green pipe cleaners;
- several multi-colored buttons;
- scissors;
— a set of brushes;
- glue for needlework.
First you need to prepare the basis for the future painting: paint the canvas with background paint and leave to dry.
Meanwhile, we carefully cut the cardboard trays with scissors into separate cells, trying to give each one a bud with distinct four petals. In unused cells, you can dilute different colors of paints to color the resulting buds. Cardboard flowers need to be coated with paint in several layers. Dry after each layer. Additionally, you can decorate the flowers with sparkles.
Glue a button to the center of the dried flowers. They can be different in size and color. The finished flowers are glued to the canvas, and it is important to naturally place them above the “stems”.
Egg Tray Painting
Craft necklace from metal rings
Drink cans, which usually end up mercilessly in the trash, can be put to some very interesting uses. Firstly, children love to drink juices from such jars, and you will need several of them. Secondly, all girls love beads, especially those made.
Materials:
— aluminum rings from jars;
— a set of acrylic paints;
- decorative rhinestones;
- colorless nail polish;
- cord or chain;
- a jar of glue.
First you need to carefully unhook the rings and cut off the “tabs” with scissors so as not to get hurt.
The rings need to be painted in several layers with acrylic paint, put on the rod and dried.
When the paint is dry, coat the rings with clear nail polish. Thus, the products are given shine and the paint is fixed.
The next stage is decorating the rings with rhinestones, which are glued to the bottom.
All this beauty should be put on a chain or decorative cord.
At any stage, you can involve the child, depending on how well he or she owns the tools. It is important to understand that children really love to make things and play with the objects they have made with their own hands. Now you know what to do with your child during the holidays or what you can bring to kindergarten.
Autumn is a very colorful time of the year. Knowing that cold weather is approaching, nature seems to be trying to demonstrate to people how bright and charming it can be. That is why in kindergartens and schools children are often asked to make autumn crafts.
Autumn composition
Crafts “Autumn” for kindergarten
You need to stock up on materials for making autumn crafts in advance - starting at the end of August. The collected “wealth” should be stored in a cardboard box, carefully laid in layers. If you plan to create paintings or panels from dry leaves, it is better to place them between the pages of books so that they become even and do not begin to crumble during work.

Thorn hedgehogs
Vegetables and berries should not be written off either. They, of course, cannot be stored for as long as, for example, products made from wood, pine cones and dried grass, but they will be an excellent solution if you need to make an unusual craft for an exhibition in a kindergarten or school.

Collages-portraits from leaves
If parents are willing to spend more time on fall crafts for kindergarten, they might like collages. When creating them you need not only to glue, but also to draw a little. Portraits prepared using dried leaves look especially great.

Pictures from prints of autumn leaves look unusual and, what’s important, are very easy to make. To complete them, you need to prepare leaves of different trees (they can be dry or green), thick paper and watercolors.

The big advantage of such autumn crafts is that a small child can do them almost independently. An adult only needs to observe his actions and suggest where it is better to apply the next sheet covered with paint.
Autumn crafts for kindergarten from paper
It is not necessary to make crafts for the garden and school exclusively from natural materials. Colored paper and cardboard will also work.

How to store natural materials
If you properly store natural materials collected in the fall, they will be suitable for use until next summer. All fragile herbs and flowers should be placed in a hard-sided box. This way they will remain unharmed and no dust will appear on their surface.
You don’t have to stand on ceremony with snags and twigs - they can even lie on a shelf. A good place for them is also in the pantry, where they can be hung.
Storing flowers and plants
Chestnuts, acorns and cones should not be poured into a common container. They need to be placed in boxes or paper bags. They will start to mold in plastic bags.
If you decide to prepare fruit seeds, you will need a paper bag. You can do it yourself - roll up an A4 sheet and secure its edges with a stapler. Pebbles and shells can be placed in a glass jar, which is tightly closed with a lid.
