The apple is a popular decorative motif for colorful autumn. Many varieties are harvested this season, which is why this fruit is associated with autumn.
Since autumn has started, we would like to offer you some ideas that you can use to decorate your home. The ideas are not difficult to imitate and can also be implemented together with the children.
With children they can be wonderfulTinker apples out of paper. Since it is nice when your autumn decorations can also be seen outside, you can make these funny window decorations. Help your children with you and create a fun crafting day, on the result of which your little ones can be proud later. The handicraft idea is extremely easy to imitate.
You need simple materials for this project. Get wax pencils in green, red or yellow, wax paper, handicraft paper in brown and green (remnants are sufficient) and an iron. The paper of the wax pencils should be removed first. Place them in water. Then shred the pens on a cutting board with a knife. Use an old board because it will change color.
Then put the small chopped wax on a wax paper and another piece of wax paper. Now you can melt the wax with the iron. Since you will not get an apple shape right away, simply design a stain, which you then cut out in the right form. Select one color or combine several together. Then cut a brown stem and a green leaf and glue it to the apple.
You can produce small plush toys that you fill with cotton wool or make simple, flat motifs. You don't even have to sew for the second variant. You simply glue the elements together with a hot glue gun. Find out below how you can make an apple made of fabric.
You need two red felt pieces in apple shape (only one for the flat variant) as well as two circles for the cheeks, cotton wool, a green leaf and a brown stem and pens for the eyes. First mark the face. Put the cheeks on the apple and draw the spots for the eyes and mouth with a pencil. You can also use a green color again. However, the tide does not come into its own.
Now put the pens for the eyes and sew a mouth. Alternatively, you can also use a waterproof edding. You can either sew the cheeks or fix it with hot glue. It all depends on how in a hurry and what you prefer.
Place the sheet and stem on the other red piece of felt and then the face. The leaf and stem are now between the two red pieces. Secure everything with pins so that nothing can slip. Start sewing along the edge. Make sure that you sew the stems and sheets with sewing and finally leave a small hole open through which you fill the apple with cotton wool. Then end the seam.
This fabric apple is also made in almost the same way. Instead of a face, they shape the interior of an apple here and it seems as if the apple had been cut open. From all the ideas we present to you, you can also make a garland or an apple wreath and thus not only decorate windows and walls in autumn.
Very easy to imitate and therefore also perfect for children, this idea for tinkering with paper plates, where you design an apple grip. You need paper plates, acrylic paint in red, green and black as well as a sponge or a brush to paint. Don't forget the pad, because children in particular spill a lot and here is finally made with color.
First, cut in the paper plate, as shown. You can keep the remains for later. From this they make the sheets of the apple. With the help of the sponge, you can color the upper and lower edge of the apple grib. As you let the color dry, design the leaves in green color. Paint a few kernels in the middle of the plate, whereupon you stick the leaves on the back of the plate.
This idea is also made quickly and easily. That makes them perfect for the crafting afternoon with the children. Place transparent film (light parchment as an alternative), craft paper in red color and in green and brown for leaf and stems as well as tissue paper in green, yellow, orange and red. The latter can cut or tear into small pieces.
Cut the first leaf and stems as well as a red border in the form of an apple. Place this edge on the film and start designing the inside with the tissue paper. Nothing is glued firmly at first. This is the turn of this step.
The interior can be designed in colorful autumn colors as well as monochrome. You can combine different variants if you want to make several apples for the window decorations. This idea is really child's play and will be great fun for the little ones.
You can determine the amount of snippets that you use to design. The less snippet, the more light later appears through the window decoration. If you decorate a wall, a table or door, this of course does not matter. Just experiment.
Only a few steps are necessary. If you have not yet added sheet and stems, you should do this at the latest now. Place them on the edge. Distribute adhesive along the red edge. Then place a large piece of tissue paper that covers the entire apple. Wait until the glue has dried. Then cut off the remains of the paper along the apple.
This should look like this. You are also welcome to design several small apples or an even larger one. In any case, you will receive a happy decoration that couldn't fit better for autumn. The handicraft idea is also wonderful for the employment of the children at a children's birthday. Get started right away!
Do you like to fold? Then get red craft paper or cardboard and produce such original apples. Simply fold the paper like a compartment. Then stick the two ends together so that a round shape is created. From paper you also tinker one or two leaves and a stem, which in turn attach them to the compartment.
Would you like something with 3D effect? It's easier than you might think. Cut an apple shape out of red or green paper and then a second one, which also has leaves and stems. Add a slit to the piece without a leaf through which you put the other piece. Now you can set up the apple and decorate a table with it.
You can decorate a real apple with tealight by tinkering a lantern from it. To do this, simply cut out the area of the stem with the diameter of a tea light. If you make this candle, you should keep in mind that you will not last long, especially after you have cut the apple. Therefore, this idea is suitable for a certain occasion such as coffee and cake with the family in the afternoon or an autumn festival.
