To make a trunk, cut a square with sides 10 cm from white cardboard. Connect two opposite edges, glue them together to make a trunk. Let the child paint dark blotches on it with a thin brush and black paint.
On another piece of cardboard, draw a wavy crown, cut out. The child will decorate it to make the leaves of an autumn tree.
Let the baby glue the blanks from candy wrappers. They can be made round or cut into strips, glued together and attached to the crown.
On both sides at the top of the trunk, make cuts 3 cm deep to insert the crown of the tree there. This is how beautiful Russian birch turned out.

Have the children tint the sheet with blue pencil strokes to create the sky. They will use the green to make the weed. On the back of vinyl wallpaper, you need to draw a tree trunk along with its branches, glue it to the base.
Next, birch lentils are drawn with a black pencil.
Around the branches, you need to glue candy wrappers with a green color, having previously crumpled them to make leaves.
Next to the tree there will be Russian beauties in sundresses; candy wrappers will also help to make clothes for them. These elements need to be folded like an accordion, pressed from above to form a triangle. The second workpiece is also first folded in the form of an accordion, then we apply it to the first from above.
Cut out Alenka's face from the wrapper, glue it to the blank to make such a wonderful girl.
You need to make several figures and glue them to the sheet.
Also, candy wrappers are turned into the sun, grass. Cut out a few strips of vinyl wallpaper, let the child paint them under the trunks of birches with a black pencil, roll them into a tube, stick them around the perimeter of the picture to make a beautiful frame.

To make a trunk, you need to cut off a rectangle from a white sheet, wind it around a pencil to make a tube. The side is sealed so that the figure does not unwind.
Have a child glue birch trunks vertically onto silver or blue cardboard. Where the crown will be located, it is necessary to coat this area with glue and attach pieces of napkins to it.
If the child is small, paint thin black strokes on the trunk yourself. If he can handle it, then let him do this responsible job.
Such a craft will surely be appreciated at the holiday, which is called I love the Russian birch tree.
This material also makes a beautiful tree, and not even one, but a whole birch grove. Prepare with your children:

- glue;
- black paint with a brush.
Have the children roll up the strips of white paper into tubes.
On them you need to paint black lines with paint, and then glue them to the base.
If you do not have blue or blue cardboard, then glue sheets of colored paper of this color to the existing one. Children will draw twigs near the trunks, glue leaves cut from green paper to them.
Cut a birdhouse out of red cardboard with them, glue it, as well as colored paper butterflies on the trunks of birches. You can decorate the applique with flowers, after which it will turn out to be so juicy and bright.
To decorate the hall for the holiday dedicated to this wonderful tree, you need to make a birch tree, put it on the table. If the tree is large, then it is placed on a stand on the floor. Here's what they use in the process:
- White paper;
- cardboard tube;
- gouache and brushes;
- glue stick;
- small twigs of birch;
- scissors;
- awl.
Cut birch leaves out of white paper in advance so the children can paint on them. Since this is an autumn tree, use yellow and red paint.
At the same time, someone can paint yellow, and when this blank dries, another person will make red highlights on it. If there is no ready-made cardboard tube, roll it up from thick cardboard or even from two sheets, glue it on the side.
Now this trunk needs to be painted white, when it dries, make black veins.
The next stage of work is done by adults. With the help of an awl, they will make holes in the trunk, stick birch branches here, to which you need to glue the leaves. The trunk is fixed on the board with plasticine, after which you need to put the remaining leaves of paper on the stand, and also put the mushrooms. Their children will be happy to fashion themselves.
You can decorate the hall not only with paper wood, but also make birch from plastic bottles. It will turn out to be more durable. Such a tree can be placed not only in a kindergarten for a holiday, but also to decorate a house, a summer cottage with it. From late autumn to early spring, when there are no leaves on the trees, your dacha will be decorated with a picturesque Russian birch tree, which does not care about cold, snow and wind.
We make birch from plastic bottles: photo and description
To do this, you need:
- deep green plastic bottle;
- copper wire;
- pliers;
- awl;
- flame;
- alabaster and a container for dilution with water;
- white and black paint;
- glue;
- green sponge.
Cut a plastic bottle into strips, draw a sheet on one of them, cut out. It's okay, if it doesn’t turn out completely flat, you’ll soon see why.
Indeed, at the next stage, it will need to be scorched over a flame. In this case, the workpiece will bend slightly, the edges will take the correct shape. Use a hot nail or awl to make a hole in the top of the sheet.
Pass a piece of wire through it, which must be twisted. Attach pieces of wire to other sheets in the same way, twist them with the base.
It is necessary to make several of these shamrocks from plastic bottles and wire, then twist three blanks together and connect several similar elements into a single branch.
After completing several of these blanks, shape the tree. Dilute the alabaster with water, apply the solution to the branches and trunk. Make a birch stand out of it.
When the alabaster is dry, cover it with white paint, draw black lines. We decorate the stand as follows - glue the cut pieces of a green sponge onto it.
Here's what a wonderful tree came out of plastic bottles, instructions and step-by-step photos probably helped in this.
If you don't have alabaster but a glass bottle is available, use it as a base. The surface is covered with white paint, painted with black lines. You can draw a drawing in the center of the composition. Wrap branches from a plastic bottle and wire around the neck, you can put them inside the container. Here is such an original Russian birch tree.
You can make another from a glass bottle. Here are the materials you need:
- glass bottle with a cork;
- White paint;
- glue gun;
- PVA;
- some birch bark;
- black paint and brush;
- yellow or brown beads;
- needle and thread;
- small twigs of birch.
Russian birch from beads
To do this, take:
- beads of green shades;
- glue;
- thin wire for beading with a diameter of 0.4 mm;
- alabaster or gypsum;
- thick wire with a diameter of 1 mm;
- acrylic paint in white and black;
- brushes;
- foil;
- construction tape;
- threads;
- capacity for the stand.
Will tell you how to make a birch from beads master class. To create it, we will use the buttonhole weaving technique. Cut a thin wire, string 9 beads on it. Make them in the form of a loop, twist both turns of the wire together.
On the first and second ends of the same wire, string another 9 pieces of beads. Twist each of these wire pieces. On each side, make 5 leaf loops in total, the eleventh will be at the top in the middle.
Twist the wire to make a twig.
You will need to make 50 of these blanks.
We make one large out of 5-7 such small branches. To do this, cut a 15 cm fragment from a thicker wire with pliers. Using threads, screw the first branch to it, close the junction with tape.
Attach the rest of the small twigs here in the same way.
Next, we make a birch from beads as follows: since it does not have a top, we design the first group, consisting of four branches, so that it becomes the top of a tree. We place the rest of the blanks at different levels.
At the bottom of the barrel, secure 4 strong wires with tape, bending them at an angle of 90 degrees.
Place cellophane in a container, put a cross-piece of a tree here, fill its lower part with alabaster or gypsum. First, hold the tree yourself, when the solution hardens a little, lean the birch against a vertical support. Leave so that the plaster or alabaster is completely dry.
In order not to stain the beads in the next step, wrap the birch branches with foil. Dilute gypsum with PVA in a 1: 1 ratio. Stir well so that there are no lumps left. Cover the birch branches with this substance with a thin layer, and the trunk with a thicker one.
To make the bark of the tree more authentic, use a toothpick to make grooves. When the gypsum glue solution has hardened, paint over with white acrylic. Make black stripes on the trunk and branches.
When the solution is completely dry, remove the base of the tree from the mold, decorate it with pebbles or moss.
This is what a beautiful birch bead turned out.
Using this technique, you can make not only summer, but also autumn birch from beads. To do this, take this yellow material. Moss is perfect for decorating the trunk circle.
