You can hardly find a child who doesn’t like to make crafts. Moreover, there are countless options and ideas for their implementation. Crafts are even divided by season, depending on the availability of materials used. For example, in summer the main theme of products is flowers, fruits and berries, and fresh herbs. Accordingly, there are also

There's a lot of fun associated with them. After all, it’s fun to climb a tree and knock down a dozen nuts, then you have to peel them, and this is a whole art. Her cunning is known to many, as she stains everything she touches. How fun it is for the kids to extract nuts from the shell. And, of course, eat them.

It is intact nut shells that are the basis of many crafts. There are no limits to children's imagination. Ideas are often suggested by the child himself, so you should make products together with him. Crafts made from walnut shells can be made in the shape of an insect, fish, bird, animal, boat, mushroom and much more.

Bug

Let's look at a few ideas for creating products. You can easily and simply make beetle-shaped crafts from walnut shells. To do this you will need black plasticine and you should also stock up on several thin twigs and two shells. You can use a sheet of green cardboard as a basis. The plasticine should be kneaded in your hands and filled into the shell. This way it will be attached to cardboard, which can be cut into the shape of a sheet and drawn with veins. Then the beetle will look very believable.

The insect can be additionally painted on top, or you can leave it as is. Having attached the shell to the cardboard, you need to stick black plasticine along its edge. Three branches should be fixed on it on one side and the same number on the other. These will be the beetle's legs. You can make horns in the same way. Only the branches for this purpose should be chosen thinner and shorter. You can make a beetle's head from brown plasticine.

There is another option for making such crafts from walnuts. Everything is done exactly the same, but branches are not used. The insect's legs can be constructed from brown or black plasticine.

Turtle and caterpillar

What kind of crafts can be made from walnut shells? For example, a turtle. Its shell has a color similar to the shell. You need to take one half. The head, paws and tail are attached to it. They can be made of plasticine, cardboard or colored paper.

A few more shells will make a beautiful caterpillar. As a basis, you can take a part of a branch of medium thickness. We attach the halves to it using plasticine, which should be painted with gouache in different colors. You can put horns on the glue. We paint the eyes and face of the caterpillar. If desired, a pattern can be applied to all segments of her body.

Frame

You can make a frame as a craft from walnuts. A photo of a loved one or close friend will look great in it. How to make such beauty? To do this you will need transparent varnish and Moment glue. Nuts should be carefully peeled from the shell so as not to damage it. Then you need to divide it into two parts, after which you should cover each with transparent varnish. Next, you need to take a photo frame that is supposed to be decorated. Apply a drop of glue to each nut on the back side and attach it to the base close to each other. Having filled the entire area of ​​the frame, leave it until completely dry.

Small gaps between the nuts can be filled with coffee beans planted on glue. Such a composition will not only be beautiful, but also fragrant. When the surface of the walnut craft becomes dry, the photo can be inserted inside.

Tree

What other crafts can be made from walnut shells? From these elements you will get a lot of interesting things for the interior. For example, a decorative tree. It can be done using the core of a nut. To do this, you will need a straight, even branch that will act as a trunk, as well as a pot filled with sand, earthen mixture or small stones. From brown plasticine you need to roll a ball with a diameter of about 10 cm. Next, we place it on a branch at a height of about 10-15 cm from the level of the pot and paste it with halves of nuts or shells. The top of this structure will need to be coated with golden spray paint.

Next, you need to remove the craft from the filler in the pot, tint it, let it dry and put it back again. The trunk under the ball can be beautifully tied in green. Such a tree can be used as a money tree. Therefore, it should be placed in a prominent place, then it will definitely attract good luck and success.

Christmas tree decoration

Crafts made from walnuts can be a wonderful decoration for the Christmas holidays. You can also create an excellent alternative to a Christmas wreath - this is a composition of nuts. The circle can be completely decorated with shells or partially with whole nuts. Weaving from coniferous branches is suitable for the basis of such a wreath. The circle can also be made from wine corks glued together.

There are a lot of options for creating a frame. Nuts are also attached with glue. Only they must first be painted in a golden or silver shade. Then the composition will look especially festive.

My daughter and I often make crafts from natural materials; we use almost everything that surrounds us. The main thing is to notice the similarity between a crooked leaf of a tree and a ship’s sail. We really like it walnut crafts . Half a nut shell looks like a boat, a mushroom cap, the body of a hedgehog, a mouse, a turtle and much more.…

So, let's begin. First you need to peel the nut. Chop it in half with a knife and remove the kernels.

My advice: If the nuts are from last year and don’t crack easily, pour boiling water over them for a few minutes and then cool.

To make this craft you will need:

• half a nut shell
• plasticine
• toothpick
• scissors
• paper.

1. Roll up a small piece of plasticine (about the size of a pea, I took more and then removed it) and glue it in the middle of the shell, pressing down lightly.

2. Cut out a sail from paper; its shape can be square, triangular, trapezoidal, etc., but the main thing is that it is symmetrical. Otherwise, the ship will tilt. Place the sail on the toothpick (mast).

3. Insert the mast with the sail into a pea of ​​plasticine. You can attach a plasticine flag to the top of the mast. The ship is ready to set off to conquer the expanses of water - it floats beautifully in a plate, bathtub and puddle, almost like :)

DIY boat

To make this craft you will need halves of nut shells and multi-colored plasticine.

I will make boletus and fly agaric. The principle of operation is almost the same, the main difference is in the colors.

1. Fill the nut shells with yellow (boletus) and white (fly agaric) plasticine. Make a depression in the middle of the shell with your finger or a modeling spatula.

2. Turn the shells over. Apply brown plasticine on top of the boletus shell; cover the fly agaric shell with red plasticine with white dots. You can also use acrylic paints to “color” mushrooms.

3. For the boletus, take white plasticine, add a little brown, knead so that the colors almost mix, and form the stem of the mushroom. For realism, you can add a little black plasticine at the base.

4. For the fly agaric leg, knead white plasticine and roll it into a sausage. But the mushroom has a “skirt” on its stem; lightly pinch it with your fingers to create a frill. You can apply a little black plasticine to the bottom of the leg.

5. Put the caps on the mushroom stems, you get 2.

DIY hedgehog

We will need half a shell, 1 teaspoon of buckwheat, PVA glue, 1 black peppercorn and a felt-tip pen.

1. Apply glue to 2/3 of the shell, so that the sharp end of the shell remains clean.

2. After a minute, you can pour in the buckwheat, making sure that there are no empty spaces left.

3. Glue a peppercorn onto the sharp tip and draw eyes with a felt-tip pen. So he appeared.

"Walnut Ladybug"

To make a ladybug, take three walnuts and plasticine of different colors. Peel the nuts, divide them into halves and make the face and wings of the future ladybug out of plasticine, then attach the face and wings to one of the halves, after making characteristic dots on the wings (this can be done with a marker or plasticine of a different color). Make a ball from a piece of yellow plasticine and attach it to the five remaining halves of the shell - you will get a flower on which you will plant the ladybug you made earlier. The craft is ready!
