We put blue ears on the white ears, bottom part fold in half and glue.

Then we glue both ears together.


Make a larger hole in the top of the egg so that both ears, coated with glue, can be inserted into it.

How and what to make a Rooster (Hen) craft from natural materials?

    Very cute chickens will be made from eggshells.

    You can make a cockerel from autumn leaves.

    You can also use seeds for crafts.

    In this craft, in addition to seeds, we will also need plasticine, with which we form a chicken figurine.

    And only after that, with the help of seeds we make an image.

    I really liked the crafts made from pine cones, decorated with bark and parts of an acorn:

    These are the figures you can make from plastic bottles:

    From eggshell:

    From autumn leaves:

    You can even crochet:

    From straw, hay:

    For this craft, we need two chestnuts (the body and the base of the craft), an acorn (the head of the Rooster), bird feathers (the more magnificent and bright they are, the more beautiful our bird will look), and the parts of the craft are held together with tree branches and glue.

    Autumn is a wonderful time of year. It is in the fall that you can make a wonderful craft - a rooster from natural materials.

    We will need small orange pumpkin, dry tree leaves different types and colors. For some parts, a little colored (red) paper and plasticine (blue, white, black) will be useful, from which we will make eyes. Plasticine is also needed to glue the rooster body parts to the pumpkin. You will also need PVA glue.

    Here's how this craft is made:

    First, we cut out the rooster's legs and beak from paper, and make the eyes of our bird from plasticine.

    We glue all the details onto the pumpkin using plasticine. This is what a cockerel looks like with paws, a beak and plasticine eyes:

    At the top of the head, using multi-colored dry leaves, we make a comb. We attach the leaves to plasticine. We also make a rooster’s tail from several bright leaves.

    Now we need to build the wings of a rooster from oblong multi-colored dry leaves. Glue the leaves together with PVA glue.

    We wait for the glue on the wings to dry, only after that we attach the finished wings with plasticine to the cockerel pumpkin.

    This is what it looks like finished craft Cockerel made from pumpkin and dry leaves.

    I think the most suitable natural material for creating a rooster is autumn leaves. They are as bright and beautiful as the plumage of a cockerel. Moreover, it is easiest to find leaves, they fall at your feet, just choose and collect, and then create from the collected collection.

    For example, you can make an applique of leaves:

    Or maybe volumetric craft also using leaves, egg shells, berries. You will also need a little plasticine and some imagination.

    And also chickens made from onions, and chicken made from pumpkin or zucchini. I really liked the chickens) Very much original craft. Beautiful, well done authors! Just like a chicken, you can make a rooster, the tail can be made from the same colorful autumn leaves.

    A rooster or hen can be collected from various natural materials, such as twigs or autumn leaves.

    For example, here is a rooster craft made from autumn leaves:

    Such a rooster can be made from leaves in the form of an applique on cardboard together with children from crafts in the fall.

    To do this, autumn leaves of different colors and shapes are glued to cardboard and paper using PVA glue. First you need to sketch with a simple pencil outline of the rooster on paper, and then apply and glue the leaves.

    And the most magnificent and colorful rooster has a tail made of feathers.

    An autumn colorful maple leaf or many different colored leaves, narrow and long, are suitable for it.

    You can also make a rooster craft from shells and mussels. They are glued together using plasticine or glue.

    Materials needed:

    Cockerel from a pine cone: to make, you need materials:

    Children can make this craft at school or kindergarten.

    First, the head is made from an acorn, a comb, a leaf and a beard are attached, the beak is attached, then the body is made and the head is connected to the body.

    A cocky cockerel made from an acorn, a pine cone, tree knots, or bird feathers.

    In order for the cockerel to stay on its feet more firmly and the figure not to lose stability, put plasticine under the caps of the acorns or secure small lead balls with plasticine.

    A rooster is a very noticeable, expressive bird, so to make crafts in the shape of a rooster you can use a variety of natural materials, the main thing is that they should be as bright as possible, preferably multi-colored. An additional advantage of such a craft is that all future details of the craft can be assembled together with the child - let him see which leaf or twig reminds him of parts of a rooster figurine, let him learn to imagine how everything will look in its finished form. Here is a good option for a craft, all the components can be found in a park or forest. But it would be better to buy colored feathers for the tail; you don’t need to pick them up on the street.

Do you like scrambled eggs in the morning or often indulge in homemade baked goods? In this case, you always have the most valuable material at home - eggshells, from which you can create real masterpieces!

Both very young craftsmen and seasoned artists make a variety of crafts from eggshells with their own hands. They are constantly popular at arts and crafts exhibitions. Thanks to the availability and environmental friendliness of the material, this hobby is a must-try for anyone looking for a new activity. Having mastered the intricacies of technology, you will be able to fill your home with new decorative items, and evenings with your children will no longer be boring and monotonous.

Chinese carving and Easter traditions

It is difficult to say how long ago craftsmen and artists began to use eggshells in their work. This is most likely due to the tradition of decoration easter eggs, which exists among many peoples of the world.

Some sources say that the art of eggshell carving originated in Ancient China. In this country, where they believed that the world came from an egg, it was customary to give fancy eggs for weddings, birthdays and other holidays. Museums in China contain “egg” works dating back to the 13th-15th centuries.

Thanks to modern technologies, on eggshells has become more “sophisticated”. Today's tools make it possible to transfer the intended design onto a rounded surface with microscopic precision.

However, along with “high art,” eggshells are used for simple children’s crafts and surface decoration.

What can be made from eggshells

The best way to make eggs from eggshells is... eggs. Of course, not simple ones, but almost golden ones. For Easter, of course, they give real boiled eggs. But if you want to preserve beauty, then you can work hard and create something original. For decoration use mother of pearl and gilding. Or paint on the surface of a white egg.

A new trend in egg art is embroidery. You can embroider or use another technique. The resulting works delight and surprise.

Embroidery ribbons

Egg shells can be used as miniature flower pots for succulents or herbs. It’s nice to receive such an original bouquet not only for Easter.

Craft ideas for children's creativity

Another holiday solution: eggshell crafts for kids. New Year's toys for the Christmas tree - an interesting alternative to toys from the store. These can be figurines of various animals, birds, fish, cartoon characters. The shape itself, in the form of a three-dimensional elongated ball, suggests a solution.

For example, if you glue a cone-shaped cap onto PVA, rouge the cheeks, draw eyes and glue a corrugated paper collar underneath, you get a clown. On a cord and on a Christmas tree.
If you cut out fins and a bushy tail, draw gills and bulging eyes, decorate with sparkles, rhinestones or gold paint - you will get a magical fish from a fairy tale.

There is a piglet in front, and a tail in a ring behind - a piglet. This can be done using plasticine.

If you use an acrylic outline for hard surfaces and draw a beautiful openwork pattern, glue beads, beads, clasps for jewelry, you will get a more sophisticated Christmas decorations.

Mosaic and decoupage

Eggshells are very popular among craftsmen. Instead of labor-intensive and unpredictable craquelure varnish, shells split into small pieces are used to imitate cracks. The fragments are glued to the surface of the item being decorated using PVA glue, adjusting the individual parts so that the gaps are as thin as possible.

The dried surface is painted with acrylic or primed. Then napkins and pictures are pasted onto the shell prepared in this way. The necessary details are completed and varnished for protection. This thing is not afraid of wet cleaning.

Another option for using broken shells is. To make panels, the surface of the product is degreased, primed and painted, if necessary. Draw the drawing using a pencil. The prepared shell is painted with gouache or acrylic paints in various colors and, after drying, laid out according to the applied pattern. Use PVA or rubber glue. Ready product coated with glossy varnish for beauty and so that it can be washed without the risk of spoiling.

If small children who do not have the skills to work with glue are doing mosaics, then it is better to use plasticine. For example, on the surface paper plate spread a thin layer of plasticine. Using a stack or stick, draw the outline of the image. And then glue the shell particles along this contour, pressing them into the plasticine.

This mosaic technique can be used in paintings, decorating vases and dishes, making souvenir plates, photo and painting frames, and updating old furniture.

Preparatory work

In order for something you created with your own hands to please you for a long time, you need to know how to prepare eggshells for crafts and mosaics.

For volumetric figures In general, two holes are pierced on opposite sides of the egg with a thick needle or awl. Then the contents are blown out, and the shell is washed in warm water. Having slightly widened the hole, pour PVA glue or acrylic varnish inside for strength.

Varnish or glue is needed in such a volume that it spreads over the inner surface and seals small cracks. In this case, the egg must be turned in different directions. After drying, you can work with the egg.

For mosaics, large pieces of shell are placed between two sheets of paper and rolled with a rolling pin. The film on the inside of the egg is removed from the cracked shell. The resulting small shells are washed in warm water and dried. You can cover it with colored acrylic paints or gouache.

From kindergarten to gray hair

Crafts made from shells are an accessible form of creativity for children from an early age. Developing fine motor skills hands, imagination and fantasy. When working with three-dimensional objects, a little person better masters spatial relationships. Therefore, activities related to such accessible material as eggshells can be recommended to mothers and grandmothers working with children at home.

By the way, older needlewomen also love this material because it is available in Everyday life, in contrast to highly artistic components. This hobby is leading the way!

Speaking of which, high-quality paintings using shells can be sold in specialized stores and on the Internet, including in our group on Odnoklassniki.
