Autumn is an amazing time of year, filled with bright colors and a special atmosphere of comfort. That is why we have prepared several master classes of various autumn crafts. They can be used not only as a decoration of your room, but also to present to relatives or friends.
Candlestick in autumn style
To create something interesting and original in the autumn style, it is not at all necessary to have too expensive materials. Sometimes it is enough that there is in every home.
To create such a candlestick, we need:
- salty dough;
- glass bowls or plates;
- knife;
- beautiful leaves;
- rolling pin;
- vegetable oil;
- acrylic paints (red, brown and orange).
First, prepare the salted dough. If desired, you can make it yourself or purchase it in any store. Roll it out with a rather thin layer and put beautiful leaves on top.
With the help of a rolling pin, we print the leaves on the dough
Cut the shape around each leaf with a sharp knife.
Carefully separate the leaves from the dough.
Turn over the glass bowls or plates. Grease them with vegetable oil and put the leaves of dough on top.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees, put bowls in it and bake for 1-1.5 hours.
We take out the blanks and leave them to cool for 15 minutes. After that, remove them from the bowls and leave to cool completely.
We prepare paints and carefully paint the blanks. After that, leave them until dry. If desired, you can cover the products with a thin layer of PVA glue, due to which they will be more dull.
As you can see, blanks can be of very different forms. Such products can be used not only as candlesticks, but also as supports for storing jewelry. It looks very beautiful.
Fragrant garland
Perhaps the easiest way to decorate your room in the autumn style is to make a garland.
We will prepare such materials:
- beautiful leaves of various shapes and sizes;
- strong rope;
- scissors;
- hammer;
- nails;
- cinnamon sticks;
- oranges.
Before you start creating a garland, you need to dry the leaves. To do this, you can put them between the pages of the book for a while or use paper towels.
Getting to the creation of blanks. To do this, cut the oranges into slices of small width.
Carefully lay them on the grid.
Heat the oven to 80 degrees and put oranges in it.
If you have a convection oven, set the function as shown in the photo. Otherwise, we recommend turning the orange slices every hour. In total, they need to dry 3 - 3.5 hours.
Remove the slices from the oven and leave to cool.
In the meantime, we will prepare a rope for the garland.
At the end of the rope we tie a strong double knot, as shown in the photo.
Carefully make a hole in the leaf and put it on the rope.
Alternately, add a few more leaves to the garland was bulk.
Add an orange slice, a few leaves and then attach two sticks of cinnamon. To do this, wrap them with a rope and tie a knot.
We continue to form garlands, alternately adding all the elements. When she is ready, simply tie the rope in a double knot.
If desired, you can hang such a garland on the door or furniture. But we still offer to attach it to the wall. For this you will need a hammer and nails.

In the second bowl pour glue PVA.
Cut off a long piece of rope and place it in a bowl with glue.
We wind the rope around the balloon in no particular order.
Leave it for a few hours until completely dry.
The same is repeated with the other balls.
When the glue is dry, gently pierce the ball with a needle and remove it.
As a result, you should get decorative balls of strong thread.

Repeat the same thing, alternately adding new leaves. It is best to first use small leaves, and then larger ones.
When the bud is ready, we attach it to a twig or wire using floral ribbon.
