The flowers turn out to be very authentic, especially after 12 hours - dried petals close, closing around the centers. But it doesn't spoil the view.

Photo after 12 hours

For work you will need:

• fleshy bell pepper - yellow and red
• cherry tomatoes - small and even
• barbecue sticks
• patisson (for the base)
• vase - we have woven from paper tubes
• Cup
• red cabbage leaves, green hot peppers and viburnum sprigs - for decoration
• teiplant

With a sharp, not long knife, we cut out the peaks on the pepper, trying to make both halves neat and go to work. We wash one part, where the testicles are, in water, removing the seeds and the core. This can be done by hand.

Now we plant the flowers on a skewer, leaving 2 cm in the middle for the tomato nozzle. We tap the stem.

The side without the base of the pepper is very soft and can quickly slide down the stem. We make a support at the bottom - we strengthen the top with electrical tape, and then on top of it - a green tape.

We put a small squash into the mug - this is the basis for the bouquet. For a vase, you can use a small pumpkin, green zucchini.

Set up a bouquet. We decorate it with cabbage leaves, viburnum sprigs, green hot peppers.

Crafts with the addition of decorative elements

You can add decor from other materials to vegetables and fruits: plasticine, foamiran, feathers, material, as well as beads, buttons, berries.

Master class "Wise turtle"

Tortilla does not need to be introduced. it famous character works "Golden Key", which is loved by all readers. The turtle is a symbol of wisdom, so we will make a fairy-tale hero.

We will need:

• half a head of cabbage
• large dark green cucumbers (without pimples)
• wooden toothpicks and 3 skewers
• base - flat plate and greens
• floral wire
• cap fabric, braid, needle and thread
• scissors for cutting toothpicks
• eyes

Let's start with the shell. Cut the cucumbers into circles of equal thickness. Divide the toothpicks in half with scissors or a knife.

If you break the toothpicks with your hands, you will get uneven shaggy edges, and they will spoil the overall picture of the shell.

We attach each circle to the base-cabbage with 3 wooden "carnations". This is enough to hold the cucumber.

For the head, cut off the end of the cucumber of the required length. We select so that the head and neck are similar - rounded, even.

For the beauty of crafts, we decorate the place where the neck is attached to the body with a cucumber “washer”: we make a circle from a cucumber, remove the middle and put it on the neck blank.

In the body, we will provide a place for the neck and select some leaves from the cabbage.

When the whole shell is ready, we will strengthen the head and neck of the turtle here on skewers.

We make eyes, turn the wire in the form of glasses. We make a cap from a circle of fabric.

We make legs from four columns of cucumber, fasten to toothpicks. Set the turtle on a flat plate. For beauty, cover it with leaves red cabbage. You can use any greens.

For the entourage - tagetes flowers, and the image of the wise and somewhere even flirtatious turtle Tortilla is completed!

An excellent and long-lasting turtle option is made from green zucchini squash.

Secrets and subtleties of creating crafts

1. Before starting work, all vegetables must be washed, dried, and then used as material for creativity.
2. Wooden toothpicks, skewers, floral wire will help in this.
3. Be sure to keep in mind that crafts made from vegetables or fruits have a short shelf life. Soft tomatoes and juicy cucumbers, for example, quickly “leak”, and this must be taken into account when composing compositions.
4. It is better to use "long-term" vegetables and root crops: potatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, cabbage, onions.
5. Ideally, crafts should be prepared immediately before the exhibition, if time permits.
6. It is best to install each craft on a base / stand. Otherwise, the composition will not have a logical conclusion.

Crafts from cucumbers

For example, most often cucumbers are used to make Gena the crocodile from the well-known Soviet cartoon. Cheburashka can help complement the creation of Cheburashka.

So, look at the creativity of parents together with their children. How differently cucumbers and potatoes are decorated as crocodile and cheburashka.

A crocodile can be made from one whole and long cucumber, or it can be made from several. You can decorate with a thin piece of carrot figuratively cut out as a scarf and tongue. Cheburashka can be made from raw potatoes by cutting it into circles.

And here are some cute frogs. Just like the real ones! This "set" of a couple of frogs is similar to the fairy tale about the Frog Princess. You can play with such beautiful toys, and then eat with appetite. Cucumbers, carrots, peppercorns were used.

Crafts from potatoes

Potatoes are a fertile material. Using this product as crafts, you can come up with various images and figures. for example, you can pick up round potatoes and attach eyes, hands, ears, paws from plasticine to them and it will turn out - Smeshariki!

Potatoes can also be adapted in the form of a horse, look at what a beautiful horse it turned out to be.

In autumn, such a rich holiday is made in order to show the children how much nature and the earth have given us vegetables and fruits. Tell them about the benefits of these products and thus expand the horizons of the kids, train their imagination and fine motor skills when creating masterpieces.

When parents are told that there will be a holiday of autumn gifts, some parents are puzzled by the question of how to make crafts from vegetables.

To make it easier for parents to think about what to create and what to use in this work, we have selected a few interesting ideas what children did for the autumn holiday and demonstrated at exhibitions.

hedgehogs

Probably the simplest and most interesting craft is hedgehogs! How to make and from what to make hedgehogs ?! They can be made from almost any vegetable or fruit.

We choose the basis, for example, kiwi, apple (cut in half), potatoes, a piece of zucchini, beets or radishes. And the kid can gently stick toothpicks, making needles for the hedgehog.

And on top of the needles, the hedgehog can also chop dry autumn leaves, and an apple, and mushrooms, and many different stocks that these little animals pull into their mink.

Of course, everything must be done under the supervision of a mother or another adult. And such actions as, for example, cutting an apple are done by an adult, not a child.

In the process of creating an edible hedgehog, you can even come up with some kind of fairy tale with your child. Let the kid fantasize!

Crafts from eggplant zucchini

Zucchini will do a great job of serving as cars or pigs. Craftswomen also make shoes from zucchini or eggplant. And it looks especially beautiful with carving on the skin in the form of a pattern.

Eggplant can be used to create very simple penguin characters.

Penguins are very easy to make. The skin is simply cut off and cut along the entire length of the eggplant, and the tail is not cut off at all. We make eyes from what we have, and if not from anything, then plasticine is used.

Here is a selection of photos of simple but very cute vegetable ideas for creating cool characters.

The snake was made from a long cucumber, pepper and olives were used to create an eye and a “scarf”.

One machine is made using zucchini, zucchini, radishes, carrots. Everything was connected with toothpicks or matches (of course, after breaking off the sulfur).

Frogs - cucumbers. And snowmen are apples, they can also be made using radishes or radishes. Hats in the form of a lemon slice and carrot bows and mittens.

Crafts from apples

I really liked one idea that moms brought to life! Apples are taken, washed, wiped dry.

Then mom makes the icing: the protein is whipped with sugar and a couple of drops of lemon juice are added.

We take a regular medical syringe, naturally NOT using a needle. And fill the syringe with our white egg white mixture. And draw on the skin of apples. You can draw anything: snowflakes, butterflies, just drawings, decorative curls, arrows, faces, waves, dots, etc.

Apples take on a beautiful appearance and you can just eat them later!

You can also make a wonderful caterpillar by connecting apples of the same size together with toothpicks.

To do this, we prick our fruits on both sides of the toothpick, make paws using carrots and make antennae with grapes! You can draw a face with plasticine or egg white icing (described above how to do this).

Apples in peas! These fruits can be decorated like this. Take the red and cut circles or triangles from the skin. Do the same with a green apple or yellow color. And now, attach colored circles on the contrary: green circles are attached to a red apple, and red circles are attached to a green apple.

Crafts from a pumpkin

The queen of autumn is, of course, the pumpkin. This product is wonderful both for its valuable vitamin properties and is suitable for pumpkin crafts for the autumn holiday and for the Halloween holiday, which is also celebrated in the fall!

When creating figures using fruits or vegetables, very often you need to fasten the parts together. For this, toothpicks are best and safer.

If you additionally use plasticine for decoration, or even more so markers or felt-tip pens, then, of course, you should not eat this product.

The richness of nature is really so diverse! Autumn is a great time for the development of children using natural material. Because it is safe, affordable and simple.

Using autumn leaves of trees, cones and plasticine, twigs, all the food gifts of autumn, you can develop creative imagination in children, stimulate their imagination and interest in the world around them.

But what wonderful onion daisies! The middle is a carrot circle, which is notched along and across with a knife so that a small “fringe” is obtained. We decorate with greens or leaves of green trees or long leaves of leek.

Mice and mushrooms can be made by carving enthusiasts in minutes. Very simple figures will turn out quickly enough - mice and mushrooms. Mice look especially touching and making them is quite simple. To do this, take a clean radish and cut off a piece from one, divide it in half and get the ears of mice. We make eyes and slots into which we insert the ears. Tails of radishes serve as ponytails. And the mice look very real.

Bulgarian pepper can serve as an excellent material when creating flowers from fruits. Look, it is enough to peel the pepper from the core and seeds and cut into small “fringes”. And you get aster flowers or peonies. If you take three different colors of pepper, you get a beautiful vegetable, not only a craft, but a beautiful decoration of the dish.
