A little about leaves
Dry leaves are an excellent material for creating not only herbaria, but also appliqués. Depending on the shape and color, they can be used to create a wide variety of subjects. Run a bird into the sky or build a house, you just have to start fantasizing, as already fabulous creatures are coming out.
Crafts from leaves develop a child. So, when you collect leaves for future crafts, you can learn the name of the trees with it. It is worth saying that not all leaves are suitable for handicrafts, you must choose equal, beautiful and most importantly, clean. You need to put every leaf between the pages of the book, where they can dry and align. Such leaves will fit perfectly on paper or cardboard, and can also be easily glued.

Now we need glue and leaves, with which we will glue our little cow. We leave a place for the eyes, beak and paws.
Next, cut out the eyes from white paper. By the way, the pupils can be made with a blister from tablets and paper circles of black color.
Cut out the legs and beak from the yellow paper, glue them to the base and our owl is ready.
Of colored paper
Make an application of colored paper in the form of an owl is easy enough. To do this, you need color paper, leaves and plasticine, from which you can make eyes and beak.

It is worth noting that violet is needed only if the fabric on which it is planned to make the application will be very thin.
So, we cut out all the necessary details and translate the owl pattern.
Next, you need to cut out all the elements of the application and glue them with non-woven fabric using an iron.
In order to sew the applique, it is better to use the stitching stitches. Only it is worth remembering that first it is necessary to sew to the trunk of the owl all the small details.
