Using cones, you can create:

1. Decorative compositions that will not only add coziness and New Year's atmosphere, but also refresh the interior. The category of such crafts includes: a wreath on the door, ikebana, topiary, candlestick.

Cones processing

Before you start making crafts from cones, you should carefully process the cones:

1. Contaminated material should be washed and dried naturally.
2. Clean less contaminated material with a brush.
3. Unripe and unopened buds should be placed in a slightly heated oven with the door ajar. You will notice that moisture will evaporate from the wet cones, while the unopened ones will gradually open up in the form of fir branches.

If, according to the idea, exactly closed cones are needed, then in order to avoid opening the petals, you need to soak them in wood glue for 30 seconds. To transform, soak the cones in water, and then tie them with a thread, giving the desired shape. Craft materials can be left in their natural form or covered with artificial snow, varnish, paint. Everything will depend on the planned craft.

Glue small rings on the cones, pre-select the decor for the cones or leave them in their original form. Put the cones on the wire by stringing. At the end of the work, twist the edges of the wire and decorate with a large bow.

Newspapers can also be the basis for a holiday wreath. Rewind them into a ring and secure with threads in a circle. If there is organza or other material at home, wrap the resulting frame with them.

• Cones of different types (pine, spruce, open, closed)
• Scissors
• Plasticine

Step-by-step instructions for making crafts:

Body. From the collected material, select an elongated pine cone. Apply glue to the connecting parts of the scales. We connect the parts so that the scales would fix each other.

Paws. Choose 2 larger bumps on the lower legs, and 2 smaller ones on the upper ones. We glue the parts with the body, watch out for symmetry.

Head. We make the head from open pine cones. They perfectly convey the fluffiness of a bear's coat. We attach with glue to the base.

Ears, eyes and nose. It can be made from plasticine, and the tip of the nose, for example, from black peppercorns.

If you want to surprise everyone around you, then you can make a big bear. You choose the size of the bear, the main thing is to collect the required number of cones.

You can make the base - the Mishutka frame from polyurethane foam, polystyrene or papier-mâché. An excellent solution for the stability of the product would be to attach something heavy to the bottom.

Body. The cone itself is well suited for the base of the craft. If you look closely and rotate correctly, the scales look like hedgehog needles.

Photo of crafts from cones

In every house where a child lives preschool age, there is always a box of plasticine. Children sculpt colorful figures, have fun.

With the onset of autumn, various natural materials are added to plasticine. From acorns, chestnuts or cones, wonderful crafts, funny animals and birds are obtained. Creative work is undoubtedly more rewarding than watching television. And today we will show you how to make a chanterelle out of a cone, for example.

For crafts you will need:

One cone (preferably Crimean pine)
- multi-colored pieces of plasticine (red or orange, white, green, black)
- autumn leaves (or rather their tails).

The fabulous Lisa Patrikeevna can be described as follows. It is a graceful animal in a red fluffy coat with a long tail, decorated with a white tip. The animal's muzzle is also different characteristic features, for example, an elongated nose, narrow sly eyes and pointed ears on the top of the head.

Let's mold a sensitive nose and small ears to the heroine of red plasticine. Attach a black ball to the tip of the nose. Attach the resulting parts of the head to the base of the pinecone and demonstrate the result from several sides. Does it look like a fox?

Farther from the autumn leaves, break off the cuttings - tails. Let's imagine that these are fluffy eyelashes. From white pieces of plasticine, we will mold two eyes in the shape of a crescent, in the center of each of them we will form green pupils. By the way, this is also a well-established stereotype - the fabulous fox has green eyes, although a real animal does not.

At the next stage, you need to figure out how to make the animal's legs and tail so that the fox can quickly run away from the chase and cover up the tracks. To design the front legs, it is enough to sculpt two elongated ovals and make short grooves (supposedly claws) at the ends with a stack. We will make the tail of the red predator flat, walk around the edges of the part with a stack for cutting plasticine, simulate wool.

It remains to attach the finished body parts to the pinecone and decorate the area around the fox.

We do not have the opportunity to ennoble the area on the table with green spaces, so we just lay out colorful leaves on a horizontal surface. The predator is in its usual environment, in a forest glade, preparing to hunt rodents. Let's not interfere with the beast.

Ideas for creative pursuits do not end there. There are a lot of weekends ahead. I think that during the long winter months a whole menagerie of wild and domestic animals will settle in our house. And that is great. The main thing is that the child likes it!
