DIY materials

In order to create the image of a fabulous old woman, you need to find a large fir cone. It is long and will fit as a torso. For hands, you can choose the same size sticks. It can be solid branches, then the arms will not bend. But you can make them bent at the elbows. Then you will need four short sticks and plasticine in order to fasten them together.

The head of the Baba Yaga from cones can be made from any natural material O round shape. It can be a chestnut, a walnut, a small pine cone. In spruce trees, even small ones, the shape is elongated and pointed, while in pine cones it is rounded. On the back side, all the scales are adjacent to each other, a dense round part is obtained, on which all other parts of the face can be perfectly placed.

Small parts

Baba Yaga from cones should also have a face, hair, you can even prepare a scarf for her. After all, Russian women used to wear headscarves, and our old woman is a resident of the Russian forest, so she should also be the owner of such a headdress. If the head is made of chestnut or walnut, then it will be enough to make eyes from plasticine or appliqué. To do this, you need to take two small balls of white plasticine and attach them to the top of the chestnut tree, two more black or brown balls, only smaller, cling to them from above.

If you decide to make Baba Yaga's eyes from cones using the appliqué method, then you need to cut out two white circles and draw dots on them with a black marker. Then glue at eye level on a chestnut or walnut with PVA glue.

If the head is made of a small pine cone, then you can cover up the entire “face” with yellow or beige plasticine, and place the eyes and nose on top of the leveled surface. Then the role of the eyes can be performed by acacia seeds or buckwheat.

The nose can be created from a piece of plasticine, as well as other materials. A small acorn, a piece of a branch, pasta in the shape of a hook will do.

Hair and headdress

Hair for Baba Yaga from cones is made from natural hemp ropes, threads from a skein of yarn suitable color, straw. The easiest way is to make a brush out of threads or ropes. To do this, you need to wind the yarn in several layers on a cardboard template. The more threads there are, the more magnificent the old woman's hairstyle will be. Then, on one side, all the threads are collected with a simple cotton thread on a knot, a couple of turns are made around the top of the tassel so that all parts hold together. On the opposite side, with sharp scissors, the edges are cut evenly so that the threads are all the same length. Then the hair is attached to the top of the head with PVA glue.

A scarf for Baba Yaga from cones is made from a piece cotton fabric. Draw a template on cardboard triangular shape. It should be an isosceles triangle, where the base is made long, so that later the scarf can be easily tied around the head. According to the template, contours are drawn on the fabric, and cut out with scissors. It remains only to tie it on the head. If the threads are cut on the fabric after the cut, then the edges can be burned with a candle or a lighter.

Putting the Parts Together

To get a figure of Baba Yaga from cones, you need to fasten all the details prepared in advance together. To do this, take a large piece of plasticine and roll a round ball. They stick it on the top of the spruce cone, and put the head on top, which we have already made separately. If the arms are bent at the elbows, then you need to connect two small sticks or twigs at an angle with plasticine. Then, in the neck area, plasticine balls are attached on one side and the other. Sticks are inserted into them. You can also decorate the lower part with plasticine. There will be a palm in which you can insert a broom.

How to make a broom for a fabulous forest old woman? It is not difficult. You need to take one long branch, slightly larger than the character figure. To create the broom itself, you need to collect thin branches of the same length from the bushes. A bunch of thin ones is folded around a large branch, tightly tied with a simple cotton thread. It is necessary to wind several tight turns so that small branches do not crumble. The finished broom is placed in a mortar or in Yaga's hand.

Stupa materials

It is impossible to imagine a forest dweller without her main flying attribute. Of course, further we will talk about the stupa. What does she represent? This is a large container of a round shape, resembling a bucket. She is made of wood. Yaga, when you need to go in pursuit of someone, gets into it and flies away. Baba Yaga will not work out of cones in a mortar if you miss this detail in her fabulous image. The stupa is made from a paper or plastic cup, which serves as the basis for the further application of natural material.

It can be glued either with bark from a tree, planting it in a circle on glue, or with twigs. You can also wrap the cup with burlap and tie it in a circle with twine. It will also be original. Now let's take a closer look at making Baba Yaga from cones in a mortar. The photo below shows how to do it.

How to make a stupa from twigs?

A disposable paper cup should be glued around the circumference with brown plasticine, covering the entire surface. This is necessary so that the branches do not fall out of the mortar. Then, in turn, thin branches of the same size are attached, pressing into the plasticine mass with a light touch of the hand.

It remains only to tie the branches with twine from above and below. You can take a simple rope, or you can use a contrasting bright yarn, for example, red. When the flying object is made, Baba Yaga is carefully placed in a mortar. Everything, the craft is ready.

black polymer clay;
cone;

Step 2. First you need to make a hedgehog head. To do this, form a ball from polymer clay, then make a cone out of it. With the flat side, press it firmly against the bump. Gently spread the base of the cone with your finger and stretch it to the edges of the cone. Gently lift the top of the cone up, giving it the shape of a hedgehog nose.

Step 3. Roll four identical cylinders from polymer clay, press them against the side of the cone - these will be the hedgehog's legs. Bend the bottom of the cylinders a little and, using a toothpick, give the paws a characteristic shape.

Fairy gnomes from cones

Such amazing characters as gnomes can also be made from cones. They can become not just a craft for an exhibition or a toy, but quite a beautiful gift souvenir.

Pine cones;
large wooden beads;
sheet of paper or newspaper;
compass;
pencil;
pieces of felt fabric;
threads;
needle;
black acrylic paint;
thin brush;
small brushes for washing the nipples;
wire cutters;
round nose pliers;
hot glue sticks;
thermal gun.

Step 1. At the very first stage of making gnomes, you need to choose cones. Cones take pine and ajar. Be sure to check that the cones are intact, so the gnome will look much more aesthetically pleasing. Be sure to dust the buds and make sure they stand firmly on vertical surfaces.

Step 2. From the newspaper, make a blank for a gnome hat. Draw a small circle with a compass, cut it out and fold it in half. Wrap the resulting figure in a cone. Trying on a cone to an existing wooden bead, adjust its shape. Use the resulting sample as a finished pattern.

Step 3. Attach the paper pattern to a piece of felt fabric, circle it with soap or chalk and cut out the base for the hat.

Step 4. Sew the resulting base for the gnome's cap with threads. Sew carefully so that the seam is not conspicuous. Turn out the hat. The felt hat looks interesting with the seams out. To do this, you need to sew it manually with an overlock seam and leave it in this form without turning it inside out. If you want to make the tip of the cone more interesting, adjust its shape even on a newspaper pattern.

Step 5. Glue the beads to the cone using hot glue.

Step 6. Put a cap on the bead, for reliability, you can fix it using the same hot glue.

Step 7. To make gnome handles, you need to take two small brushes. Usually these wash the nipples of bottles for babies. You need to bite off their handle, and bend the wires with bristles themselves with the help of round-nose pliers in the form of bent arms of a gnome. Most often they are sold white color, and therefore you can paint them with spray paint to match the felt pieces. The paint must be applied in one layer.

Step 8. From felt, cut out gloves for the gnome. Glue them to the already prepared brush base.

Gnome handles can also be made simply from felt. In this case, the mittens should be cut with a long base. The base should be bent in the form of a tube and sewn with a hidden seam, leaving the mittens themselves straight.

Please note that you do not need to make felt handles long, they will be located straight. To bend them and make them more accurate, like brush handles, you can insert a piece of wire into them or bend the felt base at an angle and fix it in this position with a loop of thread.

Step 9. Lubricate the handles made at the end with glue and insert into the bump on the side. Hold them for a while so that the glue grabs well.

Step 10. Cut out the legs from the pieces of felt and glue them to the base of the cone. This will help make the gnome more stable. In addition, the felt base will protect the surface where the gnome will stand from scratches.

Step 11. The final touch in making a gnome is the face. It is very easy to make it. For this you will need acrylic paints black and thin brush. Draw the half-closed eyelids of the gnome and a smile. If you wish, you can depict the gnome's face as you like by drawing open eyes, cheeks, and so on.

The fabulous gnome from the bump is ready.
