Panels made from natural materials are widely used to decorate walls. These can be coffee beans, cereals, dried flowers, slices of fruits or vegetables, autumn leaves.
Making panels is very convenient with children: creative activity develops imagination and the ability to think creatively. Working with small materials helps develop fine motor skills, which is useful for young children. And most importantly, there are many ideas for this activity that you want to bring to life.
Coffee bean panel
A coffee panel is ideal for the kitchen or room where you are used to relaxing. It is believed that the smell of coffee, like the drink itself, tones the body and gives a boost of energy.
Scientists have proven that at the same time, the smell of coffee beans has an anti-stress effect. The more often you inhale their aroma, the less susceptible you will be to external irritants.
View options for panels made from coffee beans - video:
To make a simple coffee bean wall hanging, you will need the following materials:
- Coffee beans of one or more varieties, differing in color, size and smell.
- Basis for the panel. It can be made from scrap materials: burlap, other durable fabric, cardboard, paper, wood.
- PVA glue, or better yet, “Titan”.
- Drawing.
- Carbon paper.
- Pencil.
- Frame.
This is the minimum list of materials you will need. But you can make a panel from beans and coffee. 
A panel of cereals, diluted with coffee beans, looks like a real painting, since here you can assemble the entire palette of colors:
- Coffee – green, brown, other shades of brown.
- Peas are orange.
- Beans – red, white.
- Semolina is white. It is perfect for a winter-themed mural.
- Rice – brown, white.
- Corn is yellow.
- Wheat – beige.
- Pearl barley – beige.
- Oatmeal – creamy.
- Rye – light brown, dark beige.
- Poppy seeds – black.
- Buckwheat – brown shades.
- Lentils – yellow, orange, green.
- Millet – yellow.
How to make a panel from grains:
To paste crumbly grains such as corn or semolina, ground spices and instant coffee, you need to smear glue on a part of the picture and cover it generously with the desired grain or spice. After some time, the excess residue is blown off.
Large shells are an independent decoration. And small ones become excellent materials for creating wall paintings in the form of panels.
The simplest option for a panel with shells is to glue shells of various shapes and sizes onto the base in a chaotic manner or in the form of a specific pattern.
In addition to shells, rocks and dried starfish are great options. The panels created with them are great for the bathroom: they help you imagine that you are on the seabed and looking at the sea relief. 
If you make a picture out of shells, starfish and stones, and then cover it with gold or silver paint, you can achieve such a dazzling effect.
This is a master class on creating panels from shells on a fabric basis - on burlap. It is very easy to make: it will take no more than a couple of hours to make.
You need the following materials:
- Smooth and thin branches from trees for the frame.
- Sackcloth.
- Strong twine.
- Cardboard.
- Brown wrapping paper.
- Gypsy needle.
- One large fish eye bead.
- PVA glue;.
- Glue gun.
- Pebbles, shells.
- Seahorse or starfish.
- "Chicken God"
First, cut out a fish shape from cardboard and carefully cover it with burlap. Wrap the body of the fish, with the exception of the head and tail, tightly with twine. Then prepare the base:
- Hem the burlap from the edges, forming an even square.
- Make a square frame from the twigs, tying them at the ends with twine.
- Using twine, using an over-seam technique, secure the burlap to the frame.
Now tear the wrapping paper so that the edges are jagged. This will achieve greater effect. Using a glue gun, glue a fish, a large pebble and a starfish onto the paper.
Then glue pebbles and small shells. As a result, you will get the same wonderful panel as in the photo.
A service such as making stone panels is offered by many construction companies. Typically, specialists create mosaics from natural stone by cutting it, creating a variety of patterns and even paintings.
Since natural stones are painted in different colors, the panel can be made on either a summer or spring theme. If you use white stones, you will get an excellent winter panel. In the photographs you can see what beautiful mosaic panels are in stores.
But you can make a stone panel with your own hands. Pebbles collected from the bottom of the river or from the seashore are suitable for this. The more varied the shape of the stones, the more interesting the picture will be. Examples of hand-made stone panels:
Stones can be laid in a mosaic fashion to create a picture.
To do this you will need colored pebbles. They can be arranged in a pattern. You can do with them whatever your imagination is ready for!
For creative people, wood is one of the best materials. It would seem, how can you make a wooden panel? To do this, do you need to know at least the basics of wood carving? Not at all: the panel is not necessarily decorated with carvings.
If you have the right tools, you can make a beautiful panel without any special knowledge or experience. The effect is given by the natural texture of the tree, its shape.
We will make a similar wooden panel:
The following materials will be required:
- A sheet of dimensions 170 by 80 cm made of very durable and multi-layer plywood.
- Wooden slats for the panel frame. To accentuate rough branches, the slats should be large. Even bars 10 centimeters wide and 6 centimeters thick are suitable for this. Two bars should be 150 cm long, the other pair of bars should be 80 cm. The outer side of the bars should be rough, as if sawn. They require light processing so that there are no splinters upon contact with the skin.
- Three types of sawn branches. Each “stump” should have a diameter of 4 to 5 cm. Several dozen stumps should stand out with a large diameter (from 6 to 7 cm). Several units can be made with a diameter of even 7-8 cm.
Garden species are ideal as branches: apple and cherry with preserved bark. Before work, the branches are dried well so that they do not crack or become deformed during work.
- Stain for painting wood.
- Varnish for woodworking. Opt for a matte varnish that does not interfere with the natural texture of the wood. It is absorbed into the structure of the stumps and remains invisible. But it protects perfectly from splinters, dirt and dust.
- Hot glue gun with pencils.
- Brushes for painting wood with varnish and stain.
Master class on making a wooden wall panel:
- Nail the frame and glue it to the base. It is better to entrust this task to a man.
- Place hemp cut from branches onto the finished frame for testing.
- Clean the stumps and the base for the plywood panels from sawdust and dust using a vacuum cleaner.
- Paint the base and frame with stain using a brush. It will take 2-3 layers.
- Leave the base to dry.
- Using a hot gun, glue the stumps in the same way as you laid them out during fitting.
- Let the panel dry for a whole day.
- Apply varnish to the resulting decoration.
Then let the product dry for another two days. Now the panel can be hung on the wall. If desired, you can decorate it using other materials.
Leaves panel
A panel of autumn leaves is suitable for working with children. For kids, it is real happiness to spend time with their parents and do common things.
First, you can take a walk with your child in the park or along an autumn alley, through the forest, to pick bouquets of various leaves, as in the photo below.
Flowers dried in summer are also used. If a panel of leaves is suitable for decorating with an autumn theme, then a panel of flowers is reminiscent of summer.
On the theme of summer, a panel can be made using leaves decorated in the form of flowers. Flowers can be made with applique, as in the photo below:
Or you can make voluminous roses from several leaves, like here:
There is freedom for imagination here. Each leaf can be associated with something. Thus, yellow maple leaves resemble the cartoon faces of foxes. 
It remains to supplement them with some elements to get the full picture. From a variety of leaves you can create an original dragonfly.
How to make a rose from autumn leaves?
One of the most original elements for a wall panel can be a rose made from a maple leaf. It can be made without a stem by attaching the base to canvas or cardboard onto sepals of dried green leaves. But we will look at an example of how to make a rose on a stem. You can make a whole bouquet from such roses and strengthen it on the basis of a panel.
To make one rose you will need:
- A few maple leaves for the petals.
- Thin branches for stems.
- Green electrical tape.
- Scissors.
There is no need to describe the entire process of making a flower, since everything becomes clear if you look at the master class on making a rose from leaves below.

The very last photo is the result of the finished work. It is unlikely that you will succeed the first time. It will take some time to practice, so stock up on a whole armful of leaves.
Leather panel
Leather is a noble material. A leather panel is ideal as a solid wall decoration. Such decor can decorate a study, hall, living room or hallway. And you can make a leather panel with your own hands.
Let's look at a master class on making leather panels using the example, the photo of which is located above. In exactly the same way, you can make a wall decoration using any other design. For work you will need the following materials:
- Leather of different colors.
- PVA glue, but Moment is better.
- Cardboard.
- Tracing paper.
- Pencil;
- Basis for the panel.
- Acrylic paint.
- Paint brush.
- Scissors.
- Brush for applying glue.
Step by step instructions:
- Paint the big picture.
- Transfer all the details onto tracing paper, numbering them to quickly find what you need.
- Transfer the pieces onto cardboard and cut them out.
- Using a brush, coat each piece with glue.
- Glue the cardboard to the skin.
- Trim the leather, leaving allowances that will need to be folded so that the front side of the piece is covered with leather.
- Glue the seam allowances to the wrong side of the cardboard.
- Cover the entire base with a large piece of leather.
- Recreate the pattern on the base using leather pieces.
- Cut strips of leather - flagella - to form roofs for the houses.
- Glue the “roofs” to the houses.
- Moisten the pieces of leather, spread with glue and glue, forming a “road”.
- You can decorate the frame in the same way (moisten and glue).
- Paint the leather painting with acrylic paint as you wish.
Here are some more ideas for leather panels.

Master class mosaic from natural material “Castle”
Master class on the topic:
Collective mosaic of wooden beads “Castle”
Prepared by: teacher of additional education MBU DO Tsdyutt p. Pribelsky Khusnutdinova Aigul Albertovna.
The master class is designed: for additional education teachers of secondary school age.
Purpose: interior decoration.
Target: Using natural materials to develop students' creative abilities.
Tasks:
To introduce this type of artistic creativity as “Ecoplastics” - the creation of an artistic image from various natural materials;
Develop creativity, imagination, fine motor skills;
Cultivate accuracy and patience;
Develop the ability to work in a team.
There are situations when a door in some opening is simply not needed - it is never used, but a bare opening does not always look good, so it is decorated. One of the classic ways to decorate a doorway is to hang curtains made of shells, wooden beads or balls.
But over time they wear out and become unusable. As a couple, we feel sorry for throwing away such things, although we understand that the appearance does not match the interior. Many of us never even thought that we could create masterpieces from such ordinary things.
The painting becomes original with an unusual texture, and is also an environmentally friendly material.
Required materials and tools:
1. Wooden frame 50x70 cm;
2. DVD sheet;
3. Glue Titan;
4. Water-based stain;
5. Bleaching agent Whiteness;
6. Pencil;
7. Tweezers;
8. Water-based matte acrylic varnish.
Old For mock
Lost among the dense forests
Forgotten by time, winds and people
Ancient castle, stone
In the basements he keeps his secrets
Keeps betrayals in dark corners
In prison cells - betrayal and revenge
And the throne room is packed to the ceiling
It contains hypocrisy, intrigue, pathos, flattery
Lost in an age-old half-asleep
He sees days long gone
Dreams of glory burn his peace
Disturbing the soul with devilish fire
At a round dusty table
By moonlight for many years in a row
Heroes' ghosts over velvet wine
They talk about the exploits of the past.
We selected a picture, taking into account its color scheme, and used various materials to obtain additional shades. We dye the red beads in stain, and bleach the yellow beads, and wait until they dry completely.
On a sheet of DVD we draw a grid, 2 cm wide and high. This is done so that there are clear and even lines horizontally and vertically. Otherwise, all errors will be visible in the finished product. Let's draw a picture.
We lay it on the base according to the pattern and select the beads according to the color scheme, in a brick order, without using glue.
We secure the laid out fragment of the drawing with tape, then glue these fragments. We try to align the lines horizontally and vertically. The ruler helped us in this case.
Having laid out the entire picture, it was varnished and placed in a frame.
The work performed using the mosaic technique took part in the competition “The Magical World of Mosaics” in November 2016, taking first place.
I hope, dear colleagues, that you liked this master class and will find it useful in your work!

This year the Defender of the Fatherland holiday was surprisingly long. There are still three whole days free - this is a good time to pay attention.
Goal: Artistic and aesthetic development of the child’s personality. Objectives: - Teach children to make sunflowers, using them in one drawing.
In September 2016, older children were shown a master class on making an “Owl” craft from natural material. Were used.
Designing from natural materials is an interesting and exciting activity, this type of activity can be used by anyone.
Whenever the holidays approach, parents get a headache about gifts for teachers and educators. I'm no exception.
Hello, dear teachers and colleagues! I would like to present to you a master class on making compositions from natural materials, because...
Good afternoon. Today I can finally sum up a large collection of ideas for crafts made from natural materials. We already have a large-format article with crafts made from autumn leaves for children and adults. There is a detailed article on autumn topics. In this article I will publish the most interesting and non-standard techniques and techniques. I decided to do wide overview page, which will prove and show that natural material for creativity is not only acorns and chestnuts. You will see with your own eyes and fall in love with all your soul with new, fresh ideas for working with natural materials. Crafts made with your own hands, from branches, from leaves, from dried flowers, from everything under your feet. Nature is rich in material, and man is rich in beautiful ideas. So, let's see what crafts you can make from natural materials this season.

SCALES from cones.
Cones are made up of scales. If you collect open pine cones, it is convenient to pull them out with pincers, pliers, or bite the SCALES with wire cutters. And then use this cone-like natural material as a mosaic covering for a variety of autumn crafts.
Note. So that the cones open well, their scales spread out, they can be heated in the oven.
Here we see mushrooms. Their legs are carved from thick wooden blocks. The hats are made of plasticine and the top of the hats is covered with scales. You get some cute DIY mushrooms. Suitable work for school activities.
But FIR cones have scales flatter and smoother. They look like smoothed feathers of birds. That’s why the idea for a craft comes to mind on a bird theme. We sculpt the body of the bird from plasticine, coat it with PVA glue, put a layer of torn paper napkins on the glue, again with glue, again with napkins - it turns out papier mache shell. We dry this shell until it is completely lignified. And on this hard, dry surface, with hot glue (layer by layer, row by row), we lay a spruce “tile” of feather-scales.
And also The scales of a fir cone are similar to the scaly armor of ancient lizards. So here's another idea for you. After all, this is a great challenge to your artistic potential. It’s not just a bird here—it’s a whole animal that looks as if it were alive. An excellent craft for boys made from natural materials.
Here we act exactly the same as with the bird.– we sculpt the base from plasticine, pack it in several layers of papier-mâché (alternating PVA glue and paper napkins). And then, after this mass has dried into a hard crust, you can paste over the dinosaur figure with spruce scales.
After plucking the cone, the cone BOTTOM remains. It looks like a flower with petals. From such cone flowers you can make a new autumn craft with your own hands - for example, a WREATH. We glue the base for the foam wreath with a chopped pine cone - just use hot glue from a gun.
You can cover such flower cones with bright gouache. To make the color of the gouache richer and shine, I recommend spraying this product with a simple hairspray after drying with gouache. The color will stick and won't stain your hands.
You can make beautiful flowers yourself by selecting the most accurate and even scales of different sizes, and laying them radially from the center. The middle of the flower can be decorated with beads or rhinestones. From such natural material, you can even make brooches in autumn style with your own hands - and wear them with a coat, or pin them on a shawl.
Flowers from cones can not only be collected into craft-wreaths, but also simply laid out on a panel. Place it on a piece of plywood with glue. This will make an excellent craft from natural material for a competition for school or kindergarten.
From whole cones You can also make some great crafts. We add not only natural material to the cones, but also other materials (colored felt, cardboard, rope, plastic, etc.).

Crafts made from natural materials
WALNUTS.
In childhood, we all made boats or caps on plasticine mushrooms from nut shells. But you can go further with your walnut creations. Children will be happy to create mice or birds, and adults with skillful hands and a warm heart can create a whole world from a nut shell... Now you will see it.
In this article I want to introduce you to a very good person. Her name is Marina. A master with an attentive soul.
This is what the account page of this master looks like on the Fair of Masters website.
I really like the works of master Marina from the Fair of Masters website. With her own hands she created amazing, in its sincerity and warmth, the world of kind old women. The walnuts in the place where the flaps join are surprisingly similar to a wrinkled, smiling old woman. All that remains is to add eyes, a nose-bone and wrap everything up with a cotton scarf. And now the cunning old lady looks at you cheerfully.
We make a body from a pine cone, weave the arms from coarse paper packaging twine. We make warm felt boots from felt. Each old woman can be made with her own character. I'll run wild with a wide smile. Or silent, thoughtful, on her own mind.
Old ladies can be both summer and winter.
You can create entire worlds from natural materials in which good old ladies live and work. They themselves will keep their world clean.
And after work they will gather over a cup of herbal tea to tell stories, make fun of each other and sing songs of their youth.
Master Marina sells her crafts. You can order her works on the master’s personal page - https://www.livemaster.ru/woods. Marina can make you a custom craft for your family and friends.
After all, how nice it is to receive as a gift the World of kind old women, which will always smell like a village CHILDHOOD for you - grandma’s pancakes, a woodpile of firewood by the barn, chickens running around the yard, the heated wood of an old bench near the fence.
Master Marina, I want to give you an idea. In one I talked about another Czech Master who created the world of ACORN PEOPLE - Dubanchikov and wrote a book with stories about them, which he illustrated with emotional scenes made from natural material. The book is published in the Czech Republic, and only in Czech. I think that many children will love our Russian book with good stories about Russian village grandmothers, illustrated by Marina’s works.
After all, it’s a real miracle to create a new world with your own hands from natural material - kind, fairy-tale, REAL. More and more houses, cozy benches, swings, carts, and carts will appear in it.

FAIRY HOUSES.
If you love fairy tales with fairies and magicians, then you will love the world of fairies made from natural materials. You can create cozy houses for fairies with your own hands, set up entire housing complexes for them, with ponds, parks, gardens, swings.
You can bring a man-made miracle to a school competition for crafts made from natural materials. The house where the gnome lives. Parts can be attached to plasticine, staples (from a staple gun), or glue from a hot gun.
Pieces of moss, acorn caps, scales pulled out of a cone with pliers, lichens and dry hard hanging mushrooms taken from trees in the forest. And even pieces of plants torn from indoor flower pots - any natural material will be used to build such a complex but interesting craft. The house will grow and be ennobled with natural design before your eyes.
You can take as a basis thick wooden driftwood, found in the forest. Cut off a convenient piece from it. Buy at a hardware store tinting stain for wood– and paint the wood a noble dark color. Cut from thick cardboard windows, cover them with the same stain. From popsicle sticks put together a real door, decorate a porch. Sculpt a conical roof from plasticine. Break a large pine cone with pincers or pliers on scales and lay tiles from them on the roof of a natural house.
Some elements can be sculpted made from salt dough(a glass of fine salt, a glass of flour + water (add water one spoon at a time and rub with the salted flour with your hands until a single lump similar to plasticine is formed). Roll out the dough - cut into bricks with a knife. Dry - and you will get a lot of building material for the porch , paths, fences, etc. The dough can also be painted with gouache or stain.
But the house is VERY SIMPLE. Now I’ll tell you how to make it with your own hands from the things that surround us.
- Take a durable cardboard milk or juice bag. Cutting windows in it will be the future façade of the house.
- Buy a small bag of gypsum plaster (or putty), dilute it with water and coat the façade of the house with this mixture.
- Dry and cover with whitewash or white gouache (toothpaste at best).
Make the roof out of cardboard, also apply glue to it and lay tiles from pieces of bark or pine cones. or wood chips.

Applications
And of course, the most common crafts made from natural materials are applications using dry herbarium - herbs, leaves, flowers. We all made chicks or fish in an aquarium from leaves. In a special article, I give many options.
And in this article I want to show a beautiful mosaic technique of laying out dry natural material in the form of a SILHOUETTE PICTURE.
You can find a lot of ready-made silhouette templates on the Internet. If you type the phrase “silhouette of a hare picture” or another animal in the search bar.
The most important thing in such a craft is to achieve recognition - clarity of the silhouette. Therefore, you need to choose a silhouette without small details - protrusions. And if you choose one with detailed protrusions, try to ensure that the small relief detail is made with ONE WHOLE petal (like the bunny’s ears or the protrusions of its paws in the photo above).
If, when laying out the mosaic, the edge of the plant protrudes beyond the border of the silhouette, it needs to be trimmed carefully with scissors (as was done in the photo above with the cat - triangles of its ears are cut out).

Crafts from branches.
You can make beautiful crafts with your own hands from branches of different shapes and curves. Branches are possible just spread out on a white paper background repeating the outlines of a bird or animal. You can do it on paper in advance. draw a silhouette of a bird faint pencil lines. And then select branches that would lie on this drawn silhouette of a bird, repeating the curves of the drawing.
You can make crafts from natural materials secure with glue from a hot glue gun. Or make a photo craft. That is, lay out the twigs and photograph the craft, thereby immortalizing your product made from natural material in the form of a photograph.
You can fix the craft at key nodes of the branch plexus and then attach it to the base (vertical wall or horizontal shelf-stand) at these nodes, as was done in the photo below.
In addition to branches, you can use natural wood chips, pieces of bark, chips and saw cuts from logs, logs, and thick branches in your crafts. This is how the owl crafts from the photo below were implemented. Simple and interesting, made with your own hands - you can safely take it to an exhibition of autumn crafts at school or kindergarten.
The same idea can be realized from different angles and with different materials. For example, in the photo of a horse craft made from natural materials, branches, bark, and driftwood are used.
You can lay out entire mosaics, completely filling the silhouette image with natural material. The direction of the branches should repeat the direction of the details of the drawing. Arrange the branches in the same directions as the fur pile of the animal, or use the branches to repeat the muscle relief of the animal.
Perhaps this type of crafts made from natural materials will captivate you so much that will turn into a solid hobby with prospects for monetization into a profitable business. Why not make beautiful wooden sculptures for sale for your dacha or estate.
And if you want to use branches to create crafts from natural materials in class at school, then here are simple ideas on how this can be implemented in labor lessons for boys. Everyone is taught cut out with jigsaws plywood figures. In addition to animal figurines, you can put together frames from slats and create beautiful landscape pictures of an autumn forest with mossy branches covered with lichen.
Similar ideas can be implemented in girls' labor lessons - without plywood and a jigsaw - by making a frame from cardboard rolled into a square tube (fold 4 pieces into a frame frame, insert branches into the holes), and cut out animal silhouettes from thick corrugated packaging cardboard from old boxes and paint in gouache, if desired.

Maple and ash seeds.
Dry lobed tree seeds can be very interestingly used in a variety of DIY crafts.
You can make a mosaic craft from this natural material in the shape of a bird (because maple seeds look like feathers). You can lay out a pattern in the form of a butterfly on the glass, and thanks to the transparency of the background, it will seem that it is hovering in the air, as is done in the photo below. Maple seeds take well with watercolors, so your butterfly craft can come in all the colors of the rainbow.
At school or kindergarten, you can make very simple children’s crafts from the same natural material with a base on thick cardboard. Maple seeds can be the hairstyle on a drawn human head, they can become the bushy tail of a squirrel, the feathers on the wings of an owl, or the needles on a cardboard hedgehog (as in the photo below).
And maple seeds look like dragonfly wings. Therefore, you can make simple children's crafts in the form of coleopteran insects. For example, string beads onto a wire (this will be the body) and glue the seeds to the body using glue or plasticine. The wings can be painted with nail polish and sprinkled with glitter. The bulging eyes of a dragonfly can be cast from frozen drops of the same nail polish. The result is a beautiful, quick and simple craft made from natural materials for children.
And this same maple natural material can become the basis for funny GRAPHIC CRAFTS-DRAWINGS with a regular black marker. We paint on the missing details to the snub noses and turn the seeds laid out on a sheet of paper into interesting graphics. These are already crafts for training your imagination - a great idea for a circle on the topic “Learning to think creatively.”
I talked more about this GRAPHIC technique of using natural material in the article

STONES.
A simple rubble stone left over from dacha construction, or smooth river and sea stones can become the material for your own natural crafts. The stone itself can tell by its shape who it resembles. And all you have to do is take markers or gouache to bring this image to life.
If you feel like an artist in yourself, you can make complex multi-line drawings – as was done in the case of the owl craft made from stone. Or smooth, thick pebbles can look like clumsy, plump panda bears - and such a craft made from natural material will be feasible for children. First, we cover all the stones with white, dry them, and then with a black marker we draw the black details of the teddy bear on it.
Ordinary felt-tip pens draw very well on stones. After completing the general painting work, details of the drawing need to be given contours(clear boundaries) black felt-tip pen.
You can draw the silhouette of a snail or sheep on the stone yourself. And give the children the task of simply coloring the finished silhouettes, adding them with a pattern of stripes and dots or curls.
You can make a nest from dry grass and wire or other natural material. And put chicks made from stones with your own hands into this craft. Older children can color a complex picture with a chick and an open beak. For younger children, a simpler task in the form of chickens in shells will suit them.
On a piece of plywood or a round cut from a log, you can lay out a whole picture of painted stones and other natural materials. This craft is suitable for an autumn competition for school or kindergarten.
Older girls will enjoy exquisite pictures from the life of a fashionable girl - felt-tip pens, paints, stones and rhinestones.
You can use the mosaic technique to lay out a variety of characters from stones. Attach the stones with glue from a hot glue gun. The stones in the mosaic can be painted with gouache, or have their own natural color.
These can be landscape paintings made from natural materials (sea pebbles, pieces of glass ground with water, shells, etc.).

PORTRAITS.
A very interesting topic for crafts made from natural materials these are portraits. The face in the picture always attracts the eye. You want to look at such a craft for a long time, it has a soul, human eyes that you want to look into and read their thoughts. A portrait is a craft that looks back at you.
You can plant all the details of the portrait from natural material on glue. Or simply fold the portrait like a mosaic on a sheet of cardboard, take a photograph and brush all the details of the masterpiece off the table with your hand. And on the wall in your room there will be a photograph of a disappeared but ever-living portrait.
As an ornamental natural material, you can use stones, dry leaves, cones, seeds, and bark. For drawing thin lines, branches of different trees, straws, blades of grass.
If you work with children, then you can give them an easier task. Print the finished face on a printer. And from natural material into this craft make additions
Good luck with your work.

We have a lot of work to do throughout the year. Worries fall on us like a snowball. We just spent the autumn holidays the right way.
Natural materials are a treasure trove for developing children's creative abilities, their imagination and imagination. There are many options.
Autumn is one of the four seasons, between summer and winter. Autumn is a transitional season, when daylight hours are noticeably decreasing, and gradually.

They look very strange:
Dad has wavy curls,
And mom walks around with her hair cut,
Why is she offended?
My son is small though
But the mane is like daddy's.
(Lion cub.)

What kind of forest animal is the Angry touchy-feely?
Stood up like a post Lives in the wilderness of the forest
Under the pine tree, and standing among the grass - There are a lot of needles,
Are your ears bigger than your head? And not a single thread.
(Hare) (Hedgehog)
How to store luggage on it?
I'll come. I'll pet him.
What hung up his nose,
My stubborn guy... (Donkey.)
(Children guess riddles.)
— Today we will make a mosaic for our friends. (Looking at mosaic samples “Donkey”, “Lion Cub”, “Meeting of Friends”.)
— Guys, what materials do we need to make mosaics? (Natural material, plant seeds...)
— What is the basis for a mosaic? (Children's answers.) We prepared the plasticine base in the last lesson.
To make a mosaic, you need to select a drawing - an animal friend, a background of a plasticine base, select seeds and natural material. First, using a stencil, we apply a drawing of the selected animal friend in a stack onto a plasticine base, then we fill the drawing with seeds and natural material.
“Now let’s get our fingers ready for work.”
Finger gymnastics:
Here we meet bunnies,
How can we keep warm, guys?
To warm up quickly,
We need to rub our backs.
(Children rub the backs of their hands against each other. Repeat 3 times.)
The music of songs about friendship sounds. Children do the work independently; individual assistance with advice, showing how best to position the base, use additional material when making mosaics.)
Fizminutka:
Skok-skok, skok-skok (jumping in place)
The bunny jumped onto a stump.
He beats the drum loudly (imitate playing the drum.)
He invites you to play leapfrog.
Summary of the lesson.
Now, guys, let's look at the panels from your mosaics. (Children look at their work and share their impressions.) The result is funny animals that you can give to your friends.
