Many ideas fit for school work- for boys. Some ideas will work for school competition crafts from natural material. Some wooden crafts can become decoration of your cottage or yard. Here you will find a storehouse of inspiration and joy from the anticipation of such an interesting and simple work. In this article I will show you what to do beautiful crafts wooden can anyone. Because here you will find simple and feasible tasks. Even a fragile woman with a manicure can do half of the crafts from this article. So - let's fall in love with wooden art.

Let's start with simple magic.

tree + sun

Crafts that glow with love.

Here are the simplest and cutest country crafts from wood. For crafts, you need a saw cut of a log (ask when you are sawing firewood with a grinder to make a few thin cuts). Or you can do it without sawing - just take a board of any size.

In a tree, we drill holes of such a thickness that a glass pebble bought in a store enters it. Such sets of multi-colored decorative glass stones are sold - in the gifts department, and in the department where candles, vases and everything for holiday decor.

You can drill such holes with glass just in the board - and hang it on the apple tree. You can drill such holes in the fence - if the sun at least once a day shines into it at a low angle.

That's very beautiful. Magically. Like in the land of fairies. Your kids will love this wood craft.

simple wooden crafts

from saw cut logs.

If you are sawing logs for firewood in your yard, you are in luck. You can get priceless craft material for free. Ask the men to cut flat cuts for you, both from small logs and large ones. Lovingly stack them away from the woodpile and start inventing future wood crafts. For example, let it be wooden owls. It's easy to make and looks beautiful. Saw cuts can be nailed to each other with nails. You can plant them on liquid nails (like glue).

The surface of the saw cuts can be rough, unskinned (as in the photo with the bunny craft). And you can sand it with sandpaper and even varnish such an ornamental material. Or paint in the color you want.

From large saw cuts, you can make large country crafts from wood. And small log cabins (from thinner branches and logs) are suitable for miniature crafts - for example, these birds. You can cut branches of this thickness yourself with a hacksaw - manually, without a chainsaw.

Log saw cuts can become a canvas for art installations. Such wooden crafts-pictures can be made from any natural material. Go to the river and find smooth flat pebbles. They will become a source of interesting crafts. The stones are easily painted with felt-tip pens, office bold markers or just gouache (after work, fix the gouache with hairspray or nail polish).

And here is another way to make beautiful AIR crafts from wooden cuts. Openwork through cutting with an electric jigsaw (photo with crafts Maple Leaf) looks amazing.

Here is a small master class, from which you can see how the process of cutting openwork patterns on a thick saw cut of a tree takes place.

First, trace the stencil with a pencil. Then we drill holes in the key nodes of the picture with a drill. And then with a jigsaw we go from one holey node to another.

You can create your own device which will help you cut wood products using a conventional drill. Make an electric jigsaw with your own hands. Holding hands on comfortable handles, you simply move the device - following the lines of your drawing. The thinner the drill, the more small parts you can cut out a picture for them. Well thought out.

Or maybe buy a jigsaw It costs an average of $100. You can find it for 50, but we don’t work on an industrial scale, so it’s not necessary to buy a very powerful expensive tool.

Mosaic Crafts

From saw cuts of thick branches.

If you have country yard the boring barn wall is staring right at you. That needs to be made boring. Let's make a shed positive with the help of wooden crafts. Let's do mosaic applique from small saw cuts. Such cuts are obtained by sawing thick branches or thin logs with a hacksaw (or chainsaw).

basis for such a wood craft, we cut it out of a sheet of plywood. First, draw on it the silhouette of the future crafts. We cut out plywood base manual jigsaw or special power tools. And we stick wooden roundels on it - on liquid nails, on wood glue or on hot glue from a gun.

And even at home you can make saw cuts decorative wooden mirror frame(master class in the photo below).

1. Also buy a round mirror. Put it on a sheet of plywood - circle it with a pencil.
2. Around the resulting circle, retreat a few centimeters (to the width you want for the frame). And with this indent draw a second circle.
3. Cut out a large circle from plywood. And glue the outer ring with saw cuts of wood. It will turn out a beautiful wooden craft frame - it remains to glue a mirror into the middle on liquid nails.

PUFF CRAFTS

from wood.

This is probably my favorite kind of wood crafts. Here, the swollen shields lie on top of each other, creating a LAYER VOLUME of crafts.

Here is a cow craft made from three layers of wooden shield. The first layer is the body, the second is the head, the third is the bangs and nose.

You can paint all the layers of your craft the same color (as craft polar bear wood) or in different colors (as a craft mouse on the moon- photo below).

Or you can leave the textured wood pattern (as in the crafts from the photo below).

wood fox It has a two-layer construction - the back layer, and the head and tail are laid on it.

craft duck has 5 layers central layer with the head, and two layers on both sides (tummy + wing).

The more layers you will impose on each other, the more voluminous and convex your craft will be. Here is an example with the craft "Lions made of wood" you can see how the muzzle of the beast moves forward, thanks to four layers of thick wooden board.

If you color your crafts. Draw facial expressions, add small details - folds, spots, and more. You can get very realistic and expensive wood crafts. Your little hobby can become your business. Such works can be safely put up for sale.

You can invent your own characters. Draw their layers on a sheet of paper. Enlarge the craft first in a paper template - transfer the contours to wooden shield and cut out. Or find pictures in a children's coloring book- and redraw them in an enlarged size.

Wooden craft

For school

At the lesson of labor.

Such Puff wood crafts can be cut NOT FROM THICK SHIELD, but from thin plywood sheet . And then such work can be carried out in labor classes as part of the school curriculum. On the topic "cutting with a jigsaw on plywood."

Here's an idea for you - how from 3 plywood boards make a two-color puppy craft. The first posterior layer of WHITE PLYWOOD peeks out only with the tips of the ears, tail and one hind leg. We will cover the second layer with a stain (so that it darkens). Eyes, nose and lines can be drawn with a marker, or burned out with a special wood burning device.

In the same technique of shields with different shades of color, you can make a lot of voluminous wood crafts at labor lessons at school or in a circle of wooden creativity.

wood crafts

as an APPLICATION.

In a very similar technique, you can make an appliqué out of wood. Here, too, wooden solid wood board(that is, not a glued shield, but a solid board). Because we will grind it, and the glued sanding shield can exfoliate and the glue seams will be visible.

1. On paper the whole future craft is drawn. Divided by lines into details. Each detail is numbered. And it is photographed (so that later on the photo to check the location of each element).
2. Next, the drawing is cut along the lines into elements. We trace each element on the board with a pencil. We cut out an element from a flat board. All elements are flat on top, rough on the edges of the cut and with sharp sawing edges.
3. Now our task smooth all edges of each part, round. We grind the sharp edges of the cuts with a chisel. And we grind it on a grinding machine (if you have one) or do it by hand with sandpaper of varying degrees of hardness-roughness.
4. After sanding all the details painted in tinted stain(sold in construction stores). Depending on how many times you wipe the part with a stain, you will get a lighter or darker tone. Very light details can be wiped off simply vegetable oil. You can check in advance shades of color on the scraps of wood left after sawing the crafts.

You can also paint the details of wood crafts in watercolor or gouache(using not a brush, but a foam rubber sponge). After painting, so that the part does not get your hands dirty, you can sprinkle it with hairspray or impregnate the craft with another wood finish (only check what color it will be on the scraps beforehand).

It only seems that the cow (pictured in the woodwork above) is behind the moon. In fact, all the details are in the same plane. On a piece of paper. But thanks to the streamlined edges of the details, everything looks voluminous, soft and, as it were, PUSHED into each other. In fact, nothing is pressed in - everything just lies next to each other.

Ideas for such flat wood crafts can be taken inside children's coloring books. There are just pictures with large details. Children's coloring picture can be found in Google - enlarge and print. Or redraw directly from the monitor screen by placing a sheet of paper on the glowing screen.

Methods for grinding parts

for wood crafts

(instructions to help).

To make it easier to sand smooth edges of parts without rubbing calluses on my hands, I want to give some useful tips.

You can pinch the sandpaper sanding belt in a special vice, also hammered together from wood. Here's how it's done in the left photo below. Or come up with your own version of the device.

Here on the left photo - sandpaper wraps around a thick plank with a semicircular edge. And the edges sandpaper are wrapped in a groove, and clamped with a bolt twisted through a round cylindrical piece of wood-clamp.

There are also grinding nozzles for a drill. And then you can do the shlivovka parts using the rotational power of the drill and the magical power of electricity.

Below we see grinding attachments for drill- cymbal and drum shape.

There are drill grinders where you can change sandpaper - remove the old worn sandpaper and refill with a new one.

By the way, on Aliexpress you can buy immediately in bulk grinding drums on a drill for 3-4 dollars for a batch of 100 pieces. If you look you can find it cheaper.

And so that the drill does not spin in your hand during operation, you can create a special FASTENING STRUCTURE, which will fix your homemade sander is in one place, and all you have to do is bring the parts to the sanding drum.

The design of the mounting tray can be different - with a wooden clamp (photo above), or with a lock in the form of a metal bracket (as in the photo below).

With such an assistant, making wood crafts with your own hands is a pleasure. Quickly pleasant and immediately beautiful results. Such work can be put on stream - and a whole production of beautiful wooden (smooth and safe) toys for children, gift wooden paintings can be established.

You can become a successful master. Completely unexpected. It's as simple as looking at this article and falling in love with the idea.

The fantasy of wooden crafts is limitless. Remember the formula for success - everything can be made from wood. The main thing is to start ... then continue ... and finish.

For example, knocker toys. Beautiful fun for children and for decorating the cottage. Such a hammer or woodpecker can knock on your door, reporting guests on the porch. Like in a fairy tale - pull the rope, and the door will be opened for you.

You can make decorations for the children's room with your own hands. In fact, reincarnate and become a designer of interesting interior wood crafts. Any boy will be happy if his children's room sparkles with motives from the Jungle.

You know ... I'll probably continue the theme of wooden crafts for design children's room in one of the following articles. I would like to see what ideas are hidden here. And falling in love with someone is a good thing.

And perhaps we need to create an article with wooden toys for children - self made. You also need to write. And then it will work here link.

And while we continue...

simple crafts

Crafts for beginners are simple, which allows even small children to be involved in the work.

Several options can be suggested.

"Puppet show"

His "artists" are made from branches with a diameter of 4-7 cm. They must be selected with branches that can play the role of hands. Armed with a sharp knife, you need to remove the bark in the right places, cut off excess branches, and form a neck with incisions. Next, the face, elements of clothing are drawn. from buttons. If desired, clothes or scraps of fabric are glued. You can make grass, straw.

Photo frame

The basis is dense right size. The frame itself can be made from branches in many ways:

1. Thin branches in parallel in 3-5 rows are glued along the perimeter of the base. They can be varnished or painted, and the coloring of each branch in its own color looks original.
2. Thicker branches (diameter 1-3 cm) can be edged with cardboard in one row. The ends of the branches are cut at an angle of 45 degrees and tightly joined so that a right angle is formed.
3. Docking branches with the rest. In the corners, the branches overlap each other in the form of a cross. At the junction, a cutout is formed with a knife for a tight joint. Gusset can be secured with braid or ribbon to form a bow on top.

Hanger

First, a frame (box) is made - a rectangular frame made of slats 2-3 cm wide, and from below - a plywood bottom. Inside this box, branches with branches are placed vertically so that the knot can play the role of a hanger. Between such branches 2-3 smooth branches are fixed. All these elements are glued to plywood. For reliability, they can be fixed with a rail installed with front side under the branches.

Of course the list options crafts for beginners is not limited to the examples given. Depending on the purpose, other wood raw materials can also be used. You can try your hand with standard elements.

If shaded with stain and, then crafts made from roots and snags will decorate any interior.

Tree cuts

If you cut discs 3-5 cm thick from a tree trunk, they can become an excellent ornamental material. Annual rings, which form a beautiful structure, give them decorativeness. different trees have different shade in the place of the cross cut, which expands the possibilities of creativity.

There are some options for crafts from tree cuts:
