Autumn handicraft lesson

During the autumn walk we pick up the chestnuts from the ground - and make cute figurines and animals out of them.

Nature slowly but surely wraps herself in her autumn dress! We are happy because we are in absolute craft fever. This season we relax on cool days with fragrant tea and let the soul dangle with chestnuts . In addition to classic chestnut males, we also create fabulous animals. How to make the little roommates from the tree fruits themselves? Here you will find five craft instructions.

Basteln mit Kastanien : Fabeltierchen

Picture above: You need: 1 thin nail, 4 chestnuts for body and head, 1 small, flat chestnut, matches with brown head, 4 pins with red head, 1 piece chestnut bowl (dried), glans stick, hot glue gun and hot glue, pliers

That's how it works:
1. For the bodies possibly with a nail in both chestnut holes drill. Then break off about 2 cm from a match. Combine 2 chestnuts as head and body.
2. Drill four holes in the lower chestnut for the legs and insert whole matches. For the seated male, arrange the holes so that they can sit.
3. For the heads a short piece of match results in the nose. Possibly. pre-drill the hole with the nail. Then: two red pins make up the eyes. Shorten the needles with the pliers.
4. For the headgear on a male, attach chestnut peel as a hat with hot glue. For the other male stick a hat from a flat chestnut. Pre-drill a fine hole with the pin and insert a glans stick.
