Beautiful crafts from seeds with your own hands. How to create various crafts from seeds and different cereals. Water lilies from pumpkin seeds
Late autumn evening. Light rain drizzles. The moon and stars, as if playing hide-and-seek with gray rain clouds, either appear in the sky, then disappear again, then look through the window, then again dissolve in the darkness of the night sky. The wind walks along the city streets and lanes, sways the branches of trees and plays with open umbrellas passers-by hurrying home...
The room is warm and cozy. Sitting at the table with a cup of hot tea, remembering the warm and sunny summer and listening to the sounds of rain, I enjoyed the tranquility of this evening.

Suddenly the door swung open, and a whirlwind literally burst into the room. This is my Alyonka came home from work. As usual, without letting me come to my senses, right from the threshold she began to enthusiastically tell about everything that had happened to her during the day in kindergarten. Yes, yes, in kindergarten, because it was there that she spent most of the day - at her job ... Alena was emotionally indignant at the absence of a Ukrainian corner in the group: “How can you reveal the beauty and originality of Ukrainian culture to children, instill love for the Ukrainian people alone stories? They also need to see what they are talking about, to be able to touch it, smell it, play with it.”
A saving thought came to my mind, I had to somehow help my beloved. I said: “I will make a toy or craft! Let it reflect the Ukrainian flavor. Let it convey the simplicity and grandeur of the culture and traditions of the Ukrainian people without words! Why not?!"
We began to think together about what to do. Something connected with the life and way of life of Ukrainians, something that is an integral part of Ukrainian culture. For some reason, I immediately remembered a little white hut with a thatched roof, windows with shutters and a bench at the threshold, a wicker fence and a green yard. Alena reminded me of sunflowers and marigolds, mint and periwinkle in the flower garden...

So it was her, the hut, that we decided to make. Responsibilities were distributed equally: Alenka, as a girl should, generated ideas, and I, like a real man, implemented them. Having thought about how our future hut should look like, what should be in the yard, we started collecting material for construction. It turned out that everything we need is not difficult to get: a bunch of willow twigs - and the fence is ready, a cardboard box - and already in the middle of the courtyard the walls of the future house rise, a little straw - and the roof is ready, a few dry branches of ailanthus and walnut broken by the wind - and a real well appeared in the yard ...
That's how we worked. The entire Ukrainian yard is made from improvised means: cardboard and colored paper, twigs and branches, fabric and threads, empty plastic bottles and tetrapacks from under the juice, gouache and drying oil - everything went into use. I “observed” myself with interest… Completely unnecessary, at first glance, things were transformed in my hands, turning into window frames and “glass”, into household inventory, into a haystack by the well. I was so carried away by our craft that I wanted to add all the new details and touches: this is how the path to the well appeared, the stump and logs in the yard, the bench at the threshold ...
|
Batkiv's hut of skins is remembered - There, I know everything to tears of childishness, There is an apple tree, a cherry tree, a tubercle ... There, the hut stretches out its arms, I do not fall at the feet of our fashion, |
 |
While working on the craft for pleasure, with inspiration and love, I wanted our Ukrainian courtyard to give joy to both children and adults, so that, looking at it, they would sincerely smile. That's why it turned out so fabulous. Anyone can scoop up water from the well and chop wood with a hatchet, look through the half-open doors and dig around the sunflowers growing in the yard.

While working on the craft, we not only enjoyed it, but also learned a lot of new things, in particular, how a Ukrainian house was built.
First, they chose a place to build a dwelling. Attention was drawn to the fact that the former road or path did not fall under it, because then there would be no peace in the future housing.
At the place where they planned to build a house, rye was sown. And by the way it rises in the fall, whether it gives friendly shoots, they were closely watched. Good rye is a sure sign that life in the new house will be good and friendly.
The whole family gathered to bookmark the house - from the oldest to the smallest. In the pit where the first of the four main pillars was buried, each of the family members would definitely throw money (so that they would be in the new home), wool was placed under the second pillar (for warmth), under the third - rye (for longevity). Sometimes limited to money or rye. By the way, to this day in many villages and cities of Ukraine, the custom has been preserved in one of the four corners of the foundation to wall up small coins, as well as corked bottles or capsules, with a message to future generations.
Housing construction in some places did without a single nail, because it was associated exclusively with wood processing. An experienced master was engaged in this (if the owner himself did not own this work). From now on, he became the main person in the family for the entire time of the construction of the dwelling. They consulted with him about materials, and about the price for them, and about food for the workers.
The master entered into an agreement with the owner and took an advance from him, that is, money in advance. It was a small, symbolic amount. The master made a small wooden cross, which was sprinkled with holy water and nailed to the first main wooden post. The cross was fixed forever. Then, bricked up with clay, he was a kind of talisman that was supposed to protect the house and the inhabitants from all sorts of life's troubles.
When the construction of the first crown of the house began, they arranged a living room for the masters.
The most important elements in the construction of the old Ukrainian house belonged to the svolok (beam, which holds the ceiling in the house).
Many beliefs, rituals and customs in the life of our people were associated with the scum. In particular, at a wedding they banged a tub on it, and young people were put under it. And collecting the child to church for christening, the godfathers took turns raising him to the rabble and praising him, wishing good and human honor. Svolok was considered a kind of protector of the dwelling, various amulets were painted on it, it was decorated with a magic potion for green holidays.
The swag was made from a thick oak or linden trunk, which was hewn so that the swag was rectangular or square shape. In some regions, there was a custom to transfer a strong swine from an old house to a new one. He was solemnly raised to the log house, tied with towels or a scarf, sometimes the hostess wrapped the swine with her sheepskin coat so that the house was warm. Towels and scarves were presented to the craftsmen, and then they necessarily arranged a living room.
After the masters put up the wooden frame of the house, and also arranged the roof, the owners collected cleanup (group). Almost the whole village came to the cleaning, a worker came from every house. And they collected it, as a rule, on Sunday - a day free from the main work.
Toloka covered the house with clay. Horses kneaded the solution to a certain concentration. Men wore it, and women plastered the house. At the cleanup, the robot always went well. After its completion, the owners treated the workers and craftsmen, invited musicians, and everything ended with a holiday.
At the end of the construction of the house, the owners paid off with the masters. The latter divided the money fairly between the performers of the work, as well as a small amount, rather a symbolic part "for the fence", allocated to the owners - for help and hospitality.

Late autumn evening. Light rain drizzles. The streets are deserted. The autumn chill rushes in through the open window. Alyonka is making tea in the kitchen. I look at our white hut with a thatched roof, at the blooming sunflowers near the fence and the green yard, I remember how we made all this with our own hands and involuntarily smile: what good fellows we are!

Add dye or paint to the bag and mix.
You can use oil, acrylic and food paints, as well as gouache. Let lie down with paint, it will be better absorbed.
After removing the seeds from the bag, lay them out in heaps and dry them.
In the case when the seeds are used to create an application, they can be painted after gluing.

The content of the article:
Children will love crafting various crafts from cereals and seeds, if adults show how to create them. Such fruits of joint work will not only help the development of the child, but also teach him kindness. Indeed, in this technique, original bird feeders are created, which the child will gladly hang on the street. He will rejoice when the birds flock to the treat.
How to make a feeder from a cone, gelatin, from a bottle with your own hands?
Often in the city or countryside New Year decorate growing Christmas trees. Having made bird feeders, the child himself will decorate the forest beauty with them and get a lot of pleasure from it. To carry out your plan, put next to the children:
- cones;
- a tall small bowl;
- cereal seeds;
- seeds;
- brush;
- a thread.
- If the honey is thick, first melt it in a water bath, when it cools down, pour it into a bowl. Pour cereals, small unroasted seeds into another similar vessel.
- Have the child smear the bump with liquid honey, then roll it in another container so that the seeds stick to the sweet surface.
- Now he will put his creation on a spread paper or a tray so that the honey dries up, and the treat for birds is better attached to the cone.
- After that, it's time to tie a thread to the feeder and go for a walk with the child to hang crafts on a tree.
Instead of honey, you can use a thick paste. To make it, pour 1 tbsp. l. flour, dilute with a glass of water. While stirring, bring to a boil.
Remind the children that birds should not be given salty, black bread so that the kids do not use such products when making bird feeders.
Invite the children to make bird feeders that look very original. Take first:
- 1.5 cups of bird food;
- 0.5 cups of water;
- 2 small bags of gelatin;
- leg-split;
- cookie cutters;
- straw;
- baking paper.
- Soak gelatine for 20 minutes in water if instructed to do so. But usually one is sold in small bags that does not need to be soaked, immediately dilute it with water and put it on fire.
- When the solution boils, remove from heat, cool slightly and mix with bird food.
- Lay baking paper on the table, place cookie cutters on it, fill them with the prepared mixture.
- Insert a loop of twine or ribbon inside, knot inward. Remove for half an hour in the freezer.
- After that, the forms are taken out of there and left on the table so that the contents dry out during the day. Then the bird food is removed and hung out the window, on the trees in the yard.

Here's how to make similar crafts from seeds and cereals. It's time for the pumpkin seeds. These will be the needles of a lush Christmas tree. They need to be thrust into the tree trunk, also starting from the bottom. Try to place the elements of subsequent rows between the seeds of the previous ones.

- cucumber or melon seeds, as well as apples;
- semolina;
- gouache;
- glue;
- pencil;
- round disposable plate.
Semolina is rubbed with gouache - half with green, half with yellow. On a plate you need to apply a drawing with large features, for example, such a goose.
Starting from the tail, grease parts of his body with glue and attach cucumber or melon seeds. And the wing needs to be highlighted with black apple seeds, but quince seeds can also be used.
To make paws and a beak, melon or cucumber seeds are covered with red gouache and allowed to dry. Now they need to be glued to the markings.
To make grass, glue is applied to the bottom of the background, sprinkled with green semolina on this area. The upper half of the picture is decorated with the same groats, but yellow.
Children's crafts from legumes with their own hands
Crafts from beans, beans, peas can also be done by children. At the same time learn the alphabet. Draw letters on the paper, let the child grease each one in turn with glue and attach the prepared seeds.

- a sheet of cardboard and colored paper;
- a leaf of a tree;

- pencil.
To make chickens so funny and beautiful, children can also use legumes. Give them a template for these baby chickens. Let them circle it, and sketch the noses and paws with a yellow pencil. Glue dry peas on the surface of one chicken. Create another from beans. For the third, corn is suitable.
To make an owl, kids will need:
- pattern of this bird;
- cardboard;
- white, brown, red beans;
- beans;
- dry yellow soup peas;
- glue.
Wings are made from red, and the tummy and outlines of the eyes are made from white. The pupils are laid out with black beans, and the paws and beak with yellow peas or corn of that color.
Bean seeds make beautiful colored crafts. You can invite the child to lay out a circular pattern. Glue lentil seeds in the center and outside, and build circles from white beans, beans, yellow peas or corn.
From green peas you can make a frame for a photo by pasting it around the perimeter with these seeds.
There is a very interesting decor Easter eggs. For it you will need:
- boiled eggs;
- paste based on flour or starch;
- grains;
- small cereals;
- dried herbs;
- spices.
You can create mosaic patterns by drawing a sketch on the shell in advance. Use stencils if you wish.
You can attach legume grains to the surface, using not only boiled eggs, but also balls for the base. Great idea for room decor.
How to make a topiary from peas?
Bean seeds will also help to make it. To make a tree count, you need to take:
- a package of green peas (polished and chopped);
- foam ball;
- dry moss packaging;
- 1 clay pot of medium size;
- hot glue;
- PVA glue;
- brush;
- for the trunk - a skewer, a wooden stick or a simple pencil;
- pot paint;
- green acrylic paint;
- floral foam or alabaster or cement;
- Styrofoam.
When it dries, decorate it with peas. Here's how to make the topiary next. Lubricate a small area of the ball with a brush with PVA glue, then generously cover it with peas.
When the beans are attached, decorate the next piece of foam base. Thus, close the ball completely and remove it until morning to dry.
When this happens, inspect the work, if there are small uncovered areas, sprinkle them with grits.
It's time to fix the crown. To do this, drop glue from the “hot gun” into the hole in the ball, insert the barrel here.
For better fixation, it is advisable to additionally fix the barrel with pieces of paper and carefully glue them, pouring more glue here. If you don't put paper in, the hot glue can melt the foam, making the hole too deep.
Now put the stem in the pot, secure this stick with alabaster, cement or floral foam.
After these solutions have dried, you need to put moss on the surface, glue it, decorate with sisal, peas, and cereals.
Applications and panels from cereals
Crafts from peas, beans are not only various topiaries, but also wonderful paintings.
To create one, you must first draw a cat's face on cardboard. Then fill the areas with legumes of a certain color. Crafts from cereals are also impressive.

- PVA glue.
To make such a wreath, take:
- green peas;
- "hot gun" or PVA glue;
- straw wreaths - 2 pcs.;
- baking sheet;
- brush;
- leg-split.
If you don't have straw wreaths then use foam blank this shape, but it needs to be covered with green acrylic paint.
Place the peas on a baking sheet or tray. Lubricating the inside of the wreath with glue, sprinkle it with peas.
Then, spreading small areas of glue, roll the wreath over the peas to attach these small particles. Once the glue is dry, tie a twine to the wreath, decorate with ribbon, and hang over the door.
The door is decorated. Make table decorations. To make napkin rings, take:
- toilet paper rolls;
- paint;
- spices;
- seeds;
- small cereals;

The smiles of that bunny suddenly jumped over me:

Educational games using semolina
Cereal games are widely used for development fine motor skills hands in children. To increase interest in the game, the croup can be painted.
