Crafts from natural materials - a favorite topic for the lessons of work of students of lower grades. This is especially true in the autumn, when everything necessary for handicrafts is simply lying under your feet, such as chestnuts, cones , leaves and, of course, acorns. The latter, perhaps, are one of the best materials not only for children's creativity, but also for interior decoration. Patience and imagination will help to create truly beautiful and exclusive crafts made of acorns: wreaths, topiary, napkin holders and many other interesting and pleasant things to look at.
If you remember well the school years, then certainly in your memory, the lessons of labor were also delayed, on which you were told what can be done from acorns. If such memories you can not boast, we offer you a few ideas for crafts made from acorns with their own hands, which will be of interest to both children and adults.
