To make a postcard, prepare:
- paper – thick Whatman paper, kraft cardboard, decorative paper;

- central picture with a wish;
- beautiful braid in the form of yellow or orange pompoms;

How to make an autumn scrapbooking card
- Prepare the necessary materials for work. An important part of handicraft for creating postcards is the creation of multi-layer models. You must not only make the base of the card, but also attach two, or maybe more, backings on top. The cardboard for the base should be thick. Whatman paper will do, or take thicker paper, and also use scrap paper and craft cardboard on top.
- Prepare the base, fold it in half, cut out the backings.
- Glue the backing paper onto the 2 halves of the postcard. Use a layer of cardboard and attach decorative paper on top.
- For a central inscription with a motivating and appropriate autumn theme, some kind of picture would be better suited. It can be framed in a beautiful, cozy frame. Use ribbon with pom-poms of a suitable color for this.
- Glue the frames into a layer of braid (it can be replaced with lace).
- Select pictures - bouquets, spikelets, leaves, and so on.
- Attach a framed picture to the center of the front of the card. Place these illustrations that you prepared while creating the compositions in the corners.
- Make similar decorations in different places.
- You can also use beautiful yellow berries to create autumn masterpieces.
- If it seems to you that the bottom part of the card is empty, then also attach any picture or inscription here, for example, an autumn clipping.
- Add a caption below. Secure it with golden half-beads, add more golden precious glitter using the same half-beads in other places on the card.
- You can create such an unusual, beautiful creation, and a minimal set of materials is used here.
Composition of rolled strips of paper
In this case, a colored sheet of paper needs to be cut into thin strips of short length and glued into rings. Cut out the trunk and glue it to the base.
Drop a drop of glue onto the rings, preferably in the place where there is a seam on the paper. And fix it around the trunk in this way so that a crown is formed.
Please note that the rings can be glued both vertically and horizontally. This will result in completely different wood looks. Therefore, you can combine several methods on one application to get more texture.
Using methods for creating an autumn forest appliqué, you can arrange a real master class for your child, both at home and in classes in the garden or at school. Although, there are other ways that the teacher must also take into account when drawing up notes for the relevant classes.

Autumn leaf made of thread and cardboard
In today's master class we propose to make an original autumn craft using threads and cardboard. From these materials you can make an autumn leaf, all the steps of creating which are presented in step-by-step photographs.
To make such an autumn craft, we will prepare:
- orange and white cardboard;
- scissors;
- transparent tape;
- threads of red, green, orange, yellow;
- a simple pencil with PVA glue.
The basis for the craft will be an orange sheet of cardboard. First, fold it in half.
Then we need a leaf template. We first made it from plain paper. To make the leaf even, it is better to cut the blank from a piece of paper folded in half. After this, we apply the template to the wrong side of the orange cardboard.
We trace it along the contour with a simple pencil.
Now you need to use scissors. Cut a hole in the cardboard in the shape of a leaf.
This is what our blank looks like from the front side.
Next we need white cardboard. We cut out a rectangle from it, which will be slightly smaller in size than half of our workpiece. There should be an allowance of about 1 cm along the edges.
We will wind threads on this white rectangle. Let's start with red yarn. We secure the end of the thread with transparent tape on the wrong side, and then wind it onto cardboard.
After this, we continue to wind the red thread in the other direction. We cut the thread and secure it again with transparent tape.
Next, take green yarn and repeat the steps.
After this, we will use orange and yellow threads.
We put the resulting blank into an orange cardboard base.
Lubricate the edges with PVA glue, then fold it in half and fasten it. This is an autumn leaf made from thread and cardboard.

Bright print
The little ones will definitely love this craft. It is very simple, but it is so fun to make that any child will be delighted.

Take gouache and coat the sheet with a thick layer. Mix colors, make one half yellow and the other half red. Or play with them even more. You can paint over the entire sheet or apply several dots. It is advisable to pay attention to the edges and veins so that the print is more distinct.
Then simply press the workpiece onto white or colored paper. Do this with several sheets to paint a beautiful picture. If something doesn’t work, just add what’s needed with a brush or markers.
Using this technique, you can draw very beautiful pictures that will be excellent autumn crafts for school.

Making an autumn forest, trees and nature
But the most important advantage of autumn is the colorful trees. They just brighten up this slushy time. Therefore, we cannot do without images of forests and nature.
Let's start first with single trees.
Master class on making this curly tree.
You need strips 15*1 cm long. They need to be fanned out on the base. And having fastened one end to the trunk, begin to twist the strip so that it looks like a wave. We also fix the second end.
Glue pieces of colored paper onto them.
There is still a forest in front of you. Absolutely any texture and color of blanks will do.
Below is an applique postcard.
Try to depict the forest and nature with leaf prints. To do this, you need to apply gouache to one side of it. Press the painted side onto the paper, transferring the pattern of veins.
The same technique can be used for the “Autumn Outside the Window” master class.
Autumn will swirl you in these applications. And gouache will depict the wind.
Leaves glued in rows on top of each other are very similar to a forest of birches and fir trees.
Look at the variety for creativity.
Birch trees also look beautiful with their own yellow birch leaves.
The trunk can be drawn or glued from cardboard.
Next, the work “Wind”. It's also not difficult to repeat.
Also create an abundance tree with your own hands!
