Lovers of walnuts are not worth a hurry to throw the shell. When connecting fantasy and imagination, you can create real masterpieces of any complexity.

Crafts from walnuts - Natural source material that turns into jewelry, miniature puppet houses, and even in the Statuettes in the style of Netzke.

What is the good shell of walnuts?

Natural or artificial material has beneficial featuresthat facilitate the manufacturing process. There are both halves of walnuts:

  • the natural form gives rise to a large associative row, because it resembles a shell, a cup, a ball, pendant, a casket;
  • shells durable and resistant to high temperatures, chemical impacts, which allows them to process them in any way;
  • natural color and texture of the shell, i.e. This material does not need to be painted and grind;
  • the material is kept for a long time, not sensitive to moisture, other destroying factors.

With halves of walnut, it is very easy to work. It is enough to free them from natural "partitions", if necessary, wash and dry, and the material is ready.

It is suitable for both children and adults.

Crafts at the initial stage

What can make the shell from walnut:

  • mushrooms with berries;
  • vegetables fruits;
  • animals, insects;
  • christmas easter decorations, wreaths;
  • boxes and needleers;
  • doll houses;
  • lanterns;
  • pendants and suspensions;
  • miniature wallets;
  • candlesticks;
  • stands under sedentary cards;
  • models of boats and boats.

You need to start with something simple, which will help you get used to the material, to meet him. To begin with, it may be a ladybug or a funny caterpillar.

At the first stage, it is necessary to divide the shells for halves and clean. The cracker can be done in two versions: in the first half the petals of a large flower, which will "sit" the plasticine cow "will", in the second they themselves will be ladybug.

A bright insect is peeled from plasticine black and red. Halves need five. The core of the flower will be made of yellow plasticine. The ball rolls, it is flattened, five petals-shell are attached to it. In the end, it remains to "plant" on them by God's cow.

In the second case, half the nuts are taken, the insect details are made of plasticine: wings (from red plasticine), black specks, head. In the finals of the handicraft, it is simply going out of individual details: the feast is pasted on the half, the specks, the head, if there is a desire - legs.

To make a fun caterpillar from the shell, you need to take six shells, leaf of colored paper green, paint, woolen thread Bright color (red or yellow). A large round sheet is cut out of the colored paper, the colors are drawn to it. Six halves of walnuts will become a "body" of the caterpillars, so on top of them need to draw multi-colored circles (yellow-white-green, for example). Next, the halves are glued to the sheet in the shape of the caterpillar. The head is made from a whole nut on which a funny face is drawn. Color thread folds into the bundle and glued on top in the form of a hokholka or bang.

Funny animals

The next stage of creativity for kids can be crafts in the form of animals, birds, marine inhabitants - mice, pinguins, swear, turtle, octopies.

To create a funny animal of halves of nuts face in grey colour. The ears and eyes are cut out of the paper, the nose can be made of beads or draw. As a tail, you can use gray woolen thread. All items are glued to shells. In the same way, you can do, only the ears should be greater, and for the tail it is not a thread, but a piece of cotton.

From plasticine and walnuts will be funny octopus. Half of the nut is taken, painted in bright color (yellow or pink), draws facet. A bright fluffy wire is taken to tone the shell, the details are fastened. Figurine is ready.

You can make another inhabitant of the ocean - China. To do this, the halves of walnut is taken, painted in a dark blue color. Black paint need to paint eyes and smiling mouth. From white paper, the "fountain" of water in an arbitrary form is cut, and from dark blue paper - the tail. They can be glued to half or do in the hole in the shell and insert items. This whale can be allowed to swim: the air in the shell cavity to allow him to confidently hold onto the water.

Walnuts masterpieces

When the stage with children's crafts is passed, and the interest in the material will only grow, "acorns may appear on the light.

It is necessary to take a multi-colored, shiny, gold or silver paint, paint the shells, connect them together, mount the fastening for the wire from the wire. Top Zhomdy can be deceived with glue and sprinkle with sparkles.

From the walnut halves with their own hands, it turns out good solllers and peppers, and if you fill them with cotton wool or felt - needlenets. Also in halves can be placed miniature stuffed ToysAnd if you make a mast, sail, oars and benches to them, boots, sailboats or even whole ships.
