Applique autumn forest from other materials
You can use many materials to create a beautiful and unusual applique. It all depends on the desire and capabilities of the master.
Application from plasticine
Since plasticine is quite heavy, applique requires a solid base, such as cardboard or fiberboard. You can use a disposable plate. You need the softest plasticine so that it spreads easily.
For the background, roll out two green sausages and one light brown one, then assemble them into one sausage without kneading. Tear off pieces and spread where the soil should be.
There is no need to mix the colors into one; let the effect of chaotic spots remain, as if part of the grass has already dried out. Smear blue across the sky, occasionally adding white.
Sculpt or paint with gouache. Roll many 5mm balls in the color of autumn foliage. Each ball must be attached to the base and squeezed to form a flat cake.
Use these flatbreads to fill the space of the tree crown. You can make mushrooms from white and brown plasticine and place them between the trees.
Cereal application
For the “Autumn Forest” applique you need buckwheat, millet, wheat and other cereals. The paper should be thick enough, since you will have to use a lot of PVA glue, and the thin paper will get wet.
It is better to paint the background and contours of the trunks. Apply glue to the tree crowns and sprinkle with cereal. You can use a separate type of grain for each tree or mix all grains together. The work should lie until the glue dries completely.
A craft with seeds is made in a similar way. Pumpkin seeds are painted with gouache in the colors of the autumn palette, and then glued to the base.
To develop children's imagination, invite your child to choose his own materials for crafts. For example, paper can be replaced with fabric or felt. Let your child get acquainted with different textures and materials.
It is in early childhood that the child’s imagination develops most actively. Don't miss this moment and grow a creative person.
Autumn forest applique made from cotton pads
This technology is perfect for children aged three years and older. Since the disks are quite large, this method is more suitable for single trees. Prepare red, orange and yellow paints. For this craft, it is better to use gouache, as watercolor will give lighter colors.
Paint 10-15 discs and dry. You can paint with a brush or dilute the paints and drip from a pipette. If you use several colors on one disk, the colors will mix with each other and give new shades, which will allow you to more fully convey the color scheme of autumn.
Glue the barrel onto a sheet of paper and painted cotton pads on top.
