As for me, there are no better natural materials for making crafts with your own hands. Nature itself gives us bright, unusual material for our creativity. You can supply yourself with the necessary equipment all year round: shells in the summer, cones in the cold. And in the fall there is a fireworks of colors from falling leaves, acorns, chestnuts and many other interesting and beautiful things.

While walking through the autumn park, filling your chest with fresh air and burning extra calories in a casual game with children, you can collect material for crafts. What should I do? Ideas can also be drawn from nature. You've probably come across intricate cobweb patterns in the park. Who is stopping us from “weaving” our own pattern? Get to work!

Required tools and materials:

Twigs;
- chestnut;
- acorn;
- leaves;
- Styrofoam;
- white thread;
- scissors;
- glue;
- wire with black winding;
- chenille fluffy sticks (wire);
- awl;
- white plasticine;
- artificial eyes.

Craft spiders on a web made of natural material

We need twigs that are not very thick, about 0.5-0.6 mm in diameter. We cut 8 sticks 11-12 cm long. On one side we sharpen the tip so that it is sharp. This can be done with a knife or use a pencil sharpener.

Take a piece of polystyrene foam about 1 cm high (less than that is not recommended, otherwise the branches will not fit well into it). We cut out a circle with a diameter of approximately 4 cm. We begin to insert the sharp end of the twig into it. First we make a hole with scissors. For reliability, grease the tip of the twig with glue and insert it. First, 4 branches in opposite directions in a horizontal and vertical line.

Then we insert 4 more branches between the horizontal and vertical “webs”.

Let the glue dry. We take a white cotton thread, tie its tip to one branch, pull the thread to the next branch and wrap it with thread twice (if you make one turn, the thread will then move), pull it again to the next branch and wrap it with thread again 2 times. We do this with all the branches. When we return to the stick we started with, we cut the thread and tie the tip (make knots on one side, it will be on the back).

In the same way we make the 2nd, 3rd and so on row. The result should be a web.

Take chenille wire. It's better if it's black or Brown. If this is not available (as it turned out to be for me), then we take any color, we will have it modern spider, not afraid to experiment with his image. Cut 6 pieces 4 cm long.

Using an awl or gypsy needle, we make a hole in the chestnut and insert a chenille stick into it. Then we bend these pieces, like the legs of spiders.

We will make the second spider from an acorn. The material for the legs will be wire in a black winding (these are often used to fasten a cord with a plug in new technology, just don’t throw them away; if you don’t have that color, you can use any color or wrap the wire with black threads). We cut 6 pieces of 3 cm long from the wire. We also make holes with an awl and insert the legs.

We glue artificial eyes to the chestnut spider, and make them from plasticine for the little spider, rolling it into small balls.



Glue the leaves.



We glue our spiders, one in the middle, and the second anywhere.



A craft made from natural materials is ready! Enjoy your walks, successful collection of natural materials and creative success!

Description of work: The work is designed for children from 6-7 years old

The purpose of my work is: the development of creative abilities in older children preschool age through artistic work.

Tasks:

1. Development of creative abilities in children, originality of approach to problem solving, ability to freely navigate the world around them;

2. Improving fine motor skills of the hand;

3. Formation of skills and abilities to work with various materials, fixtures and tools;

4. Developing accuracy and independence.

Progress of the lesson:

So, let's begin! For work we will need:

1. To make our web: a base, it can be anything, a hoop, a plastic tube connected into a ring, of any size. In our case, it will be a plastic tube connected into a ring. We will also need a skein of twine.

2. For our spider we will need a skein of black yarn, a skein of copper wire (why copper, because it is very soft, it can be given any shape) and a small skein of any colored yarn.

Let's get to work and we'll start with the web:

We take our ring and tie a twine to it in any place convenient for you, then fasten the other end to opposite side rings.

Then, as shown, we make rays from the center of our ring to the edges.

When we have at least eight rays, we can return to the center of our circle and stretch the twine so that we get a spiral.

After you have a web, we need to disguise our ring; to do this, we wind the twine around our ring using spiral movements, as shown in the figure.

And this is what we got:

Let's start making our spider:

We will make three twigs approximately 20 cm long from copper wire (the length of the legs depends on the size of your spider, what more spider the longer the twigs).

Now we carefully push our metal rods into our skein of colored yarn, as shown in the photo.

We take black yarn and wrap it starting from the head, not forgetting about the legs of our spider

On the head of our spider we leave small slits for the eyes, we bend the legs so that the spider looks like a living spider.

Let's combine our two crafts:

You can use our crafts like this:

The craft was made by a 7 year old child.

Master class with step by step photos: “A spider on a web”

Author: Smolnikova Natalya Nikolaevna, teacher of MBDOU “Kindergarten No. 118”, Cherepovets, Vologda region

Description of work: The master class is designed for children of senior preschool age; educators, passionate people.

Purpose: This craft is designed for an autumn layout in kindergarten, decor, or group design.

Target: Making a spider craft for a layout.
Tasks: Develop fine motor skills, creative imagination; cultivate perseverance when creating crafts (spider).

Materials:

1. Styrofoam egg
2. Black chenille wire
3. Scissors
4. Gray and black acrylic paint, brush
5. Stationery knife
6. Simple pencil
7. Toy eyes
8. Glue gun (or Moment-Crystal glue)

Has arrived Golden autumn. Every year our kindergarten hosts an autumn crafts competition. And I got the idea to create an autumn layout “Magic Spider Web of Autumn”, but what would a spider web be without a spider.
In nature, everyone knows the weaver -
The spider is an entertainer and a trickster.
Catch a midge in a net,
And, well, pump the baby in it.
1. The master class itself is quite simple and quick to perform. Materials are easily available and inexpensive.
2. Take a foam egg, draw a line with a pencil dividing the egg in half, then cut it with a utility knife.

3. Paint one half of the egg with gray acrylic and the other with red (it will be a “ladybug”). On the back of the spider we draw a black cross acrylic paint.

4. Take chenille wire -2 pieces, cut in half

And connect in the middle with a thread or thin wire.

Paws need to be bent

5. Then, using a glue gun (or you can use Moment glue), glue the legs to half the egg, glue the “eyes” on top,

Then we glue the spider onto a cobweb made from branches and twine.

6. You can also decorate the web with foamiran leaves (or colored paper).

We “cut them out” using a figured hole punch.

If you don’t have a hole punch, you can cut it with scissors. We also glue the leaves onto the web, and glue them there too “ ladybug" And then we place the web on the layout. Creative success to all!

Now it's time for mushrooms. It's time to go to the forest, where not only russula and boletus are waiting for us, but also a lot of interesting things. Among the branches we will often come across a thin lace cobweb, which will surely attract the baby’s attention.

There is a spider among the branches

I made myself a net.
The web is so light!
The spider has a nice home.

Why not try and make a web yourself, and put a spider on it? And if you also need to bring a spider on a web craft with your own hands to a garden or school, then even more so, come to us. Choose from a variety of options on how to make a spider craft with or without a web from paper, natural material, thread, chenille wire, egg trays and much more.

HOW TO MAKE A SPIDER CRAFTS FROM chenille WIRE AND EGG TRAYS WITH YOUR OWN HANDS

Perhaps the easiest way is to use one cell from an egg tray as a base. Paint it black, then attach rotating eyes (googley eyes), which can be bought at a handmade or decor store, or simply draw and cut out of paper. The spider's legs are easiest to make from chenille wire (pipe cleaners). It can also be purchased at decor or craft stores, the price is very affordable. As a last resort, you can use regular wire, wrapping it with black thread or yarn, black electrical tape, or painting it with black paint.

Cute spiders, aren't they?

HOW TO MAKE A SPIDER FOR HALLOWEEN WITH YOUR OWN HANDS

Spiders are quite often used in Halloween decorations. On Halloween they try to do something frightening, and spiders, along with bats and mummies, fit into this semantic range. Perhaps this is how people fight their fears, because such adorable spider crafts are not scary at all)

So, here we also need chenille wire and black and yellow beads. All steps are presented in photo instructions. As you can see, nothing complicated, but how beautiful and very believable) AUTUMN CRAFTS SPIDER FOR HALLOWEEN

Another way to beautifully decorate your room for Halloween is to make these cute spider nests from white yarn. For those who have already made a lampshade from threads, I think everything is clear here. But we choose a ball that is not round, but more oblong in shape. We dilute the glue with water, dip the yarn or thick threads, wrap the pre-inflated ball and leave to dry.

When the structure is complete! Once dry, pop the ball and decorate them with spiders. Spiders can either be bought at the same decor store, or made using one of the methods presented here. The main criterion is that they should be light and not break the “nests”.

LACING CRAFT SPIDER ON A PAPER WEB

But if you want to create a spider on a web, and also develop your baby’s fine motor skills, then we bring to your attention the following lacing. Everything is simple here: download, print, laminate or stick on thick paper, use a hole punch to make holes and invite the child to play a little. Black lace on a white background looks very beautiful. And when the child has had enough of playing, you can hang it somewhere and use it as a Halloween decoration. You can download it. Also in the file you will find themed lacing mummy, pumpkin, monster and bat. Happy crafting!

CRAFTS SPIDER ON A WEB FROM NATURAL MATERIAL

And then we would like to present you with many ways to make a spider on a web, using natural materials such as hay, raffia, branches, chestnuts, pine cones, pumpkin, nuts and others. As you can see, for this craft you needed a chestnut, toothpicks, a nut, black paper, glue and an awl, or any other tool with which you can make neat holes in the chestnut.

We think all the steps are shown in the photo instructions that we create so that you can clearly see each step. Instead of natural or decorative raffia, you can use hay or ordinary threads. The option with raffia is more suitable for older children or adults who want to create beautiful autumn decor from natural materials.

CRAFTS SPIDER ON A CHESTNUT WEB

If you use longer sticks instead of toothpicks, and threads instead of raffia, you get these colorful crafts. Of course, this is not for toddlers, but for kids senior group and younger schoolchildren will be able to cope with this task quite well. Using the same chestnuts as a base, you can make these cute spiders. The paws can be made from colored chenille wire, it will turn out very colorful and fun.

Beautiful, isn't it?

CRAFTS SPIDER ON A WEB FROM BRANCHES

It is not at all necessary to use a chestnut in the center, you just need to tie the branches or sticks together well, and then it’s time to become like a spider and weave a beautiful web. It makes a wonderful decoration for a room using natural materials. And for children, such work will allow them to develop perseverance and attentiveness.

As you can see, the web can be colored or white, the threads can be wound tightly together or at some distance, the main thing is that the child gets pleasure from this activity. And if you really want to fix it or do it differently, do not deny yourself the pleasure and make your own craft. The more decor and colors, the more beautiful your home will be;-)

While weaving, you can introduce your child to such interesting facts about spiders:

1. A spider weaves its web from half an hour to several hours, so it doesn’t work out that quickly either. In addition, every day he has to renew it in places where there are breaks so that it remains sticky and allows it to hold prey, because the main purpose of creating a web is to prepare dinner for itself)

2. Spider web is one of the most durable materials on Earth. Spider silk is five times stronger than steel and twice as strong as the ultra-strong man-made fiber Kevlar. Spider silk can stretch up to 30% without breaking, so the web is very elastic.

3. The spider never sticks to the web. This happens because the spider always runs only along smooth radial (coming from the center) threads, and never along sticky, concentric (circular) threads.

4. The spider determines where the victim is by which of the threads is stretched.

5. The web is as light as it is strong. If we wrapped the Earth once around the equator with a web, its weight would be only 450 grams.

AUTUMN CRAFTS SPIDER ON A WEB FOR CHILDREN FROM PAPER AND PAPER PLATES

If weaving a network of threads and branches is too long or difficult for the baby, you can offer him the following alternative: use a paper plate as a base, which you can optionally decorate with leaves or draw spiders on it in advance, and then weave the network.

As you can see, you can make holes with a hole punch and thread threads through them, you can use scissors to cut out notches along the edges of the plate, onto which you can then hook the thread, or you can even invite a child who is learning or knows how to use a needle to thread the thread and needle where he wants. There are many options. Perhaps, after looking at the materials offered and evaluating the materials available, you will come up with your own wonderful idea. Share in the comments ;-)
