Figures of cones with their own hands. What can be done from cones?

It would be nice to bring some fallen cones home after a forest walk. Scales of them may be open or close to each other. In both cases, this is a wonderful material for creativity. Figures made of cones made with a child are not only interesting, but also useful. The created works can be attributed to a kindergarten or to arrange a real play at home, the main participants of which and the props will be crafts made of cones.

Forest beauty from the gifts of the forest - the first option

Why not make a Christmas tree out of cones? It will not be synthetic, but natural. In addition, you can save a lot on this attribute of the holiday and make it unusual and original.

If you are engaged in creativity together with very young children or you have little source material, then you will be satisfied with the first version of the tree. It will require the already uncovered hardened cone.

First make a basis for a figurine of cones. From a thick cardboard, cut a circle with a diameter slightly less than the circumference of the cone itself. Apply on it a dark dye, let it dry. You can glue a cardboard disc with colored paper on top.

The child will also like the next stage of the work. Soften the clay, let the baby roll a few balls out of it and attach them between the opening scales of the bumps. You can make jewelry and in another way - roll balls from cotton wool, wrap them in pieces of colored paper or wrappers from under the sweets. After this, you need to tightly twist the wrapper and glue it with this part to the scales of the cones. This can be done by an adult with a glue gun. In the same way, attach the bottom of the cone to the base of the cardboard. A small but beautiful fir tree is ready.

A variant of the second manufacture of the queen of the forest is the preparation of the base

Thinking what can be done from cones with older children, build a global New Year building. Depending on how much natural material is brought from the forest, such a height and width will be a Christmas tree.

Start also with the manufacture of the stand. Cut out a circle of thick cardboard of this diameter so that 5-9 cones fit on it (depending on what size the spruce will be).

Making a Christmas tree

Lubricate it abundantly with wood glue and spread the cones around the circle with a sharp edge outward. If you decide to make a large spruce, pre-fix the cones with each other using a rope, twisting them in order. Then put on a cardboard stand, greased with glue.

In the next row, put as much or one shishka less. The spruce will gradually narrow to the top. You can reduce the number of cones in each row or in two to three. Lower the tier with glue, apply the upper layer. When you reach the top of the head, place one unopened cone with a pointed end up, glue it. It is possible to paint such figurines from cones with the help of a can in green, blue, gold or silver colors or leave the products in their original form.

Hedgehog with head and legs

When deciding what can be made from cones, make funny animals with the child. Then they can be put under the newly built tree, come up with a fairy tale and play it along with the children.

Blinding of white plasticine cone, attach its base to the rounded part of the cone, which it was once attached to a tree. This is the basis of the beast's muzzle.

A small piece of plasticine black color turn into a ball, attach to the place of the nose. From the same material, roll 2 more such circles, flatten them, fasten the eyes to the place. Pupils make of plastic mass white or yellow. From white - 4 small paws and 2 small ears of triangular shape. Also attach these parts to your place.

Dinosaur and other characters

You can create other charming figures from cones and plasticine, for example, a dinosaur. To make it colorful, take the material for modeling lilac, red, blue, yellow, green.

Roll out a piece of lilac plasticine in a sausage, one side of which is slightly thicker than the second. Attach this wider edge to the narrow part of the exposed cone. The second end of the sausage is slightly curved, connect it with the red head of the dragon. Make an incision in the middle of the muzzle, put in its upper and lower parts a small flattened piece of yellow plasticine. It is slightly opened the mouth of an absolutely fearless dragon.

To make the dinosaur even more good-natured, attach a blue plasticine eye to the muzzle. The same shade will be the legs and tail of the fairy-tale character. Pieces of yellow plasticine turn into triangular and attach them to the back, tail and back of the neck.

In the same technique, do other figures of cones - beasts, people, fairy-tale characters.

Woodman

Walking in late summer or early autumn through the forest, you can collect not only fallen cones, but acorns. This tandem helps to come up with the most interesting ideas for creativity. When deciding which crafts of cones and acorns can be made with children, ask the kids to turn these gifts of nature into a forest tree.

Glue the acorn to the top of the opening cone. The "cap" of an acorn becomes the headdress of a fabulous forest dweller. In his hands turn two small knotty sticks, attaching them with wire. Eyes and mouth cut out of colored paper, glue them on the face of the forest tree.

Dragonflies

Charming figures will come from cones and acorns - dragonflies. In addition to these materials, an oval shaped support is required for their construction. Cut it out of wood, cover it with varnish.

Cones will fit more slender, glue them to the stand, it turned out the dragonfly body. Attach to it 4 oval wings. They can be cut from brocade or other dense fabric, attached to the bump wire or thread. The acorn will turn into a head and an insect's cap.

Wreath, bear cub

You can make a New Year's wreath to decorate the door. The basis of it in the form of a ring is made of wire or willow twigs, vines. If you decide to use natural bending materials, take a bunch of rods, tie them with threads in the form of a ring. Using a wire to attach the cones, you can decorate the wreath and other materials, pasting beads, tying bows. Golden paint will help the composition to find integrity.

Bear cub made of cones is voluminous, charming and very sweet. For its creation, it is enough to glue the cones, giving them the shape of a shaggy forest master.

Combination of tissue and forest gifts

Garland of cones will turn out colorful, original, and doing it is a pleasure. First, take the felt of red and yellow. Suitable for the flaps remaining from the needlework. From a yellow material, cut out large circles, from red - smaller. Put them one on the other (the smaller one on the larger one), stitch it, as shown in the photo.

Strong thread in a large needle. Pierce her with five cones horizontally, then a felt base. So fasten the garland to the end. It can decorate an ordinary-looking wall in the country, a tree trunk or decorate the room.

Here such you can make hand- made articles of cones with your own hands. Ideas, tips will help to awaken the imagination and create many more original things that can decorate the house, kindergarten for the holiday.
