And although autumn is already coming to an end, and everyone is looking for it with all their might, the theme of autumn leaves is popular at all times.

Handicrafts are especially fond of the maple leaf, a template of which I am giving you today in different variations. It is so unusual, beautiful, and the color of this leaf can be very different - yellow, orange, red, not to mention green.

In general, it is not surprising, but a maple leaf stencil can be found quickly and easily.

Where? In nature itself, of course! We go to the nearest park for shopping, collect fallen leaves - and voila! - a sketch from which we will draw in our hands.

There is nothing easier than attaching a leaf (after straightening it, of course) to the paper and carefully tracing it. You can then complete the “web” of lines yourself. Or you can use contour to get an unusual effect.

But, unfortunately, this tree does not grow in all regions of Russia - this is the case. Someone didn’t have time to make a herbarium during the summer-autumn, and in winter it’s no longer possible - that’s two. Well, it’s so easy to print out a picture without leaving home and start creating, right?

Still, I encourage you to go for walks more often (especially if you have children) fresh air. Children can be taught to make beautiful wreaths from maple leaves. Well, dry the leaves, of course. You can always make beautiful and original crafts from them.

Very large size of the leaf image (useful for large-scale painting):

In general, choose any one to suit your taste!

Dear colleagues and caring parents! This master class will be especially valuable for preschool workers whose students do not yet know how to do this.

I bring to your attention a simple DIY craft. Module of autumn leaves. Required material for making the module: -Double-sided.

Vytynanki is a very ancient type of applied art of the Slavs. It was used to decorate homes both in everyday life and for holidays.

A wonderful time of year has come and I decided to decorate my group with autumn leaves. Just draw and cut out colored leaves? No.

The article presents a variety of paper accordion leaves, templates and step by step instructions creating a particular sheet. Such leaves can be in very different colors, for example, if they are dedicated to autumn events - it is better to use colored paper in yellow, orange and red colors, for spring - good option There will be leaves of light green and green shades. Even for winter celebrations, you can make leaves from silver or white paper.

For work you will need the following materials:

  • Colored paper of various colors suitable for leaves;
  • Scissors, glue stick, simple pencil.

Paper accordion leaves step by step: 8 options with templates

Option 1. Accordion paper maple leaf

You will need yellow or green colored paper. Cut an arbitrary rectangle from it.

Fold it in half.

Draw or print the template for yourself. Cut it out and attach it to the colored paper folded in half, taking into account that the straight long side on the template falls on the fold.

Trace with a pencil. In the photo the fold is on the left. And in the future, all stages presented with paper folded in half will be folded on the left.

Cut out the workpiece, carefully cutting off all wavy lines.

Now open it. You should end up with a similar piece, with symmetrical edges.

At this stage, it's time to make a paper accordion. It is better to start from the bottom, widest side. Fold a small fold, no more than 7 mm wide, but extending over the entire area of ​​the sheet. Press carefully and then fold the same fold in the other direction. Repeat this process until all the paper has turned into an accordion.

For convenience, turn the accordion over with the long side up.

Find the middle and fold it in half. Press well, especially in the area of ​​the bottom fold, and glue the inside sides together. In the photo this area is shown with arrows.

Depending on the structure of the paper, sometimes it becomes necessary to glue the bottom two or three folds of the sheet. Most often they come apart in very thin paper. Dense holds all the folds together well without glue.

The accordion paper maple leaf is ready, straighten its folds and glue a thin stem.

Option 2. Autumn leaf made of accordion paper

Of course, it can be not only autumn. If you make it from green paper, the leaf will look like spring or summer.

To create it you also need a rectangular piece of paper.

As in the first option, the paper needs to be folded in half.

Then you should use a template or draw a simple zigzag line, reminiscent of one part of a Christmas tree.

This line should start from the fold of the paper and end at the bottom.

Cut out the drawing obtained using a template or your own efforts.

Open the sides.

Make small folds, length from one side to the other, and width of 5-7 mm. If the sheet large size or children are small, the folds may be larger.

The accordion is made; for convenience, turn it wide side up.

Mark the middle and carefully fold it in half. Press down, especially at the very bottom.

Apply glue to one of the inner sides and glue them together. In the photo this area is shown with arrows. If necessary, glue a few folds at the very bottom of the leaf.

At the end, straighten the accordion sheet a little and glue the petiole, which is a thin strip of colored paper from which the sheet itself is made. But such a stem is not strong, it can only complement the leaf, and, for example, gluing leaves to a homemade tree will not work. It is better for these purposes to use colored cardboard, or colored paper, twisted into a flagellum and threaded through a hole in the bottom of the sheet.

Option 3. Oak sheet of accordion paper

The outline of this leaf is similar to that of an oak leaf, only the longitudinal folds slightly worsen this definition. But for variety, this version of the leaf will also come in handy, especially in those jobs or events where you need a lot of leaves of various shapes.

Cut out a square from paper.

Fold it in half, the fold is on my left.

Use a template or draw large waves yourself, starting from the fold side and reaching the bottom side.

Cut the part through two sides at once, but without touching the left one. She must be whole.

Open the paper.

And, as always, make thin folds, starting with the widest part of the paper. Carefully fold all the paper into an accordion, one fold in one direction, the next in the other. For convenience, the paper can be turned over during operation. As a last resort, draw light longitudinal lines with a simple pencil and fold the leaf along them.

Place the resulting accordion with the longest side facing up.

Find the middle and fold the accordion in half. Glue the inside sides together.

Straighten the folds, glue the petiole and oak leaf the accordion is ready.

4 version of accordion paper sheet

This species looks like a hornbeam or beech leaf. And on the leaves of many other trees. The main thing is that it does not require any templates; it is extremely simple to make.

To make this oblong leaf, you need triangular-shaped paper. You can first cut a square out of paper.

Fold in half, connecting opposite corners.

Cut in half and you get two triangles.

You will need one triangle per sheet. Turn it wide side down and start making folds there, like an accordion.

Turn the entire triangle into an accordion.

For convenience, turn it over with the longest side facing up.

Find the middle and fold exactly in half, bringing the ends together. In the middle, apply glue to one side and glue the side parts together.

Straighten it a little and glue the stem. The sheet is ready.

5 version of accordion paper sheet

The most common type, the shape resembles the leaves of poplar, linden, and birch. For variety, let it be green, although the leaf in the autumn, yellow-orange version is no less interesting.

It requires a not very wide paper rectangle.

Fold the rectangle in half, the fold in the photo on the left.

Use a template or draw a convex line yourself, the beginning of which is from the side of the fold, and the sloping slope reaches the underside of the sheet folded in half.

There are no exact proportions or markings here. If you want a more prominent narrow tip, the indentation on the line can be made more pronounced.

Cut out the design without touching the left side.

Open the paper.

Make an accordion, starting with the straight, longest side. As usual, the width of the folds is ideal in the region of 5-7 mm.

Turn the accordion over with the straight side facing up.

Fold in half and glue the inside sides together. If necessary, glue the bottom folds.

Spread the leaf and glue the stem.

Option 6. Another maple leaf made from accordion paper

There are quite a few varieties of maple leaves made from folded paper. It all depends on the template. There are very simple ones that can be drawn almost arbitrarily, and more complex patterns that it is still advisable to follow as accurately as possible. In the second case, the maple leaves are more perfect, closer to the original.

Despite the fact that I was the first to show one type of maple leaf, I still can’t resist and show you another one that I really liked.

For this you will need square colored paper.

This square then needs to be folded in half.

Print the template and carefully reproduce its lines on colored paper, taking into account that the fold is on the left.

Then everything is as usual. Unfold the paper piece.

Make narrow folds, starting from the straight, wide side and up to the very top.

Find the middle and fold the accordion-folded paper in half. Here you can see that this yellow paper is thinner than the previous ones; at the very bottom the folds are not held together. Therefore, they need to be forced to do this with glue. You can safely apply glue at the fold on the three lower folds. And, of course, glue the inner two sides together, where shown by the arrows.

Straighten the folds a little, glue the stem and the beautiful, accordion-style autumn maple leaf in this version is ready.

7 version of accordion leaves

Simple round shape sheet. There can be a variety of colors inherent in the leaves.

You will need a rectangular piece.

Fold it in half.

Using a compass or something suitable round, draw a rounded line connecting the sides of the paper. The fold is in the photo on the left.

Cut along the outline.

Open it up and you will have an even semicircle.

Make small folds, starting from the straight side of the semicircle and to the very top.

Turn the accordion piece over so the long, straight side is facing up.

Fold in half and glue the inside sides together.

Carefully straighten and glue the stem. The round sheet is ready.

Option 8. Thin oblong accordion leaves

The shape is inherent in the leaves of willow, olive and some others.

To make such a sheet, you need a rectangular, rather narrow strip of paper. The narrower it is, the thinner the leaf, although it is more difficult to make very thin ones.

Fold the strip in half.

Draw a slanting line. Please note that in the photo the fold of the paper is on the left.

Cut along the line to create a double triangle.

Reveal its parts.

Fold into a shallow fold. As you can see, it is problematic to make even folds on very narrow paper, but this will not appear on the sheet.

Turn the long side up and bend the accordion in half. Glue the middle.

It will look like this narrow sheet paper accordion.
