More exciting projects with chestnutscan also be found in this article.
You can make pretty flowers out of chestnuts and colorful leaves
These flowers made from chestnuts and autumn leaves are a fun craft project for young and old and can be created in just a few minutes. The finished flowers are not only an excellent eye-catcher on the table and windowsill, but also a great gift for various occasions.
Lots of free craft materials can now be found in the forest and in parks
You don't need any special tools for this craft project other than a hot glue gun. If you are crafting with young children, you can use double-sided tape instead of hot glue.
For crafting you will need:
– Wooden skewers
– colorful leaves, preferably sorted in advance according to type and color
– Chestnuts
– Hot glue or, for small children, double-sided tape
First, insert a wooden skewer into each chestnut. They serve as stems and flower holders.
If you have more chestnuts, you can arrange a whole autumn bouquet.
Put a dab of hot glue on the bottom of the chestnut and now start gluing the leaves around the chestnut.
*Alternatively, cover the bottom of the chestnut with double-sided tape so that the child can easily stick the petals on.
Repeat this step until you have the desired number of petals on the chestnut.
The autumn leaves and chestnut flowers are now ready!
The flowers as autumn decorations or as gifts
To beautifully show off the foliage flowers, you can make a decorative Hebst arrangement. Get a rustic-looking vessel, such as a small tin tub, on which you will later build your flower arrangement. Take a large bath sponge and cut it to the shape and size of your container. Then cover the sponge with jungle grass or small stones for decoration. It would also be a good idea to put artificial lavender branches in the sponge to highlight the colorful foliage flowers.
