Oak leaf template for cutting. Leaves stencil

The article presents a variety of paper accordion leaves, templates and step-by-step instructions for creating a particular sheet. Such leaves can be in very different colors, for example, if they are timed to coincide with autumn events - it is better to use colored paper in yellow, orange and red colors, for spring - leaves of light green and green shades would be a good option. Even for winter celebrations, you can make leaves from silver or white paper.

For work you will need the following materials:

• Colored paper of a variety of colors suitable for leaves;
• Scissors, glue stick, simple pencil.

Paper accordion leaves step by step: 8 options with templates

1 option. Maple leaf paper accordion

You will need yellow or green colored paper. Cut off an arbitrary rectangle from it.

Fold it in half.

Redraw or print your template. Cut it out and attach it to the colored paper folded in half, keeping in mind that the straight long side on the template falls into the fold.

Circle with a pencil. The fold is on the left in the photo. And in the future, all the stages presented with paper folded in half will be with a fold on the left.

Cut out the blank, carefully cutting off all the wavy lines.

Now open it. You should get a similar detail, with symmetrical extreme sides.

At this stage, it's time to make a paper accordion. It is better to start from the bottom, widest side. Bend a small fold, no more than 7 mm wide, but extending over the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe sheet. Carefully press, and then bend the same fold in the other direction. Repeat this process until all the paper has turned into an accordion.

For convenience, turn the harmonica with the long side up.

Find the middle and fold in half. Press well, especially around the bottom fold, and glue the inner sides together. In the photo, this area is shown by arrows.

Depending on the structure of the paper, sometimes it becomes necessary to glue two or three lower folds of the sheet. Most often they diverge in very thin paper. Dense keeps well all the folds together and without glue.

The accordion paper maple leaf is ready, straighten its folds and glue a thin stem.

Option 2. Autumn sheet of paper accordion

Of course, it can be not only autumn. If you make it from green paper, the leaf will be quite spring or summer.

To create it, you also need a piece of rectangular paper.

As in the first option, the paper needs to be folded in half.

Then you should use a template or draw a simple zigzag line that resembles one part of a Christmas tree.

This line should start from the fold of the paper and end at the bottom of it.

Cut out the pattern obtained using a template or your own efforts.

Open up the sides.

Make small folds, length from one side to the other, and 5-7 mm wide. If the sheet is large or the children are small, the folds may be larger.

The accordion is made, for convenience, turn it over with the wide side up.

Mark the middle and carefully fold in half. Press down, especially at the very bottom.

Apply glue to one of the inner sides and glue them together. In the photo, this area is shown by arrows. If necessary, glue a few folds at the very bottom of the leaf.

In the end, straighten the sheet with an accordion a little and glue the petiole, which is a thin strip of colored paper from which the sheet itself is made. But such a stem is not strong, it can only complement the leaf, and, for example, gluing leaves to a homemade tree will not work. It is better to use colored cardboard for these purposes, or colored paper twisted into a flagellum and threaded through a hole in the bottom of the sheet.

3 option. Oak leaf from paper accordion

The outline of this leaf is similar to an oak one, only the longitudinal folds impair this definition a little. But as a variety, this version of the sheet is also useful, especially in those works or events where you need a lot of leaves of various shapes.

Cut out a square from paper.

Fold it in half, the fold is on the left.

Use a template or draw large waves yourself, starting from the side of the fold and reaching to the bottom side.

Cut the part through two sides at once, but without touching the left. She must be whole.

Open the paper.

And, as always, make thin folds starting from the widest part of the paper. Gently fold all the paper into an accordion, one fold in one direction, the next in the other. For convenience, the paper can be turned over during operation. In extreme cases, draw light longitudinal lines with a simple pencil and fold the leaf along them.

Place the resulting harmonica with the longest side up.

Find the middle and fold the accordion in half. Glue the inside sides.

Straighten the folds, glue the petiole and the accordion oak leaf is ready.

4 paper accordion sheet option

This species is similar to a hornbeam or beech leaf. Yes, and on the leaves of many other trees. The main thing is that no templates are needed for it, it is extremely simple to make it.

To make this oblong leaf, you need triangular paper. You can first cut a square out of paper.

Fold in half, joining opposite corners.

Cut in half and you get two triangles.

One sheet will need one triangle. Turn it wide side down and start making folds there, like an accordion.

Turn the whole triangle into an accordion.

For convenience, turn it over with the longest side up.

Find the middle and fold exactly in half, connecting the tips. In the middle, apply glue to one of the sides and glue the side parts together.

Spread a little and glue the stem. The sheet is ready.

5 paper accordion sheet option

The most common type, the shape resembles the leaves of poplar, linden, birch. For a change, let it be green, although the leaf is no less interesting in the autumn, yellow-orange version.

It needs a not very wide paper rectangle.

Fold the rectangle in half, the fold in the photo on the left.

Use a template or draw yourself a convex line, the beginning of which is from the side of the fold, and the sloping slope reaches the bottom side of the sheet folded in half.

There are no exact proportions and markings. If you need a more prominent narrow tip, the indentation on the line can be made more pronounced.

Cut out the pattern without touching the left side.

Open the paper.

Make an accordion, starting with a straight, longest side. As usual, the width of the folds is ideal in the region of 5-7 mm.

Flip the accordion straight side up.

Fold in half and glue the insides. If necessary, glue the bottom folds.

Straighten the leaf and glue the stem.

6 option. Another maple leaf made of accordion paper

There are quite a few varieties of maple leaves made from paper folded into an accordion. It all depends on the template. There are very simple ones, which can be drawn almost arbitrarily, and more complex patterns, which it is still desirable to follow as accurately as possible. In the second case, maple leaves are more perfect, close to the original.

Despite the fact that the very first I already showed one type of maple leaf, I still can’t resist and show another one that I really liked.

For it you will need square-shaped colored paper.

This square then needs to be folded in half.

Print the template and carefully reproduce its lines on colored paper, considering that the fold is on the left.

Then everything is as usual. Open paper detail.

Make narrow folds, starting from the straight, wide side of it and all the way to the top.

Find the middle and fold the accordion-folded paper in half. Here you can see that this yellow paper is thinner than the previous ones, at the very bottom the folds are not held together. Therefore, they need to be forced to do this with glue. You can safely apply glue at the fold on the three lower folds. And, of course, glue the inner two sides, where shown by the arrows.

Straighten the folds a little, glue the stem and a beautiful, in this version, autumn maple leaf is ready with an accordion.

7 variant accordion leaves

A simple round leaf. It can be a variety of colors inherent in the leaves.

You will need a rectangular piece.

Fold it in half.

Using a compass or something suitable round, draw a rounded line connecting the sides of the paper. Fold in the photo on the left.

Cut along the contour.

Open, and you get an even semicircle.

Make small folds, starting from the straight side of the semicircle and up to the very top.

Turn the accordion piece over with the long, straight side up.

Fold in half and glue the insides.

Gently straighten and glue the stem. The round sheet is ready.

8 option. Thin oblong accordion leaves

The form is inherent in the leaves of willow, olive and some others.

To make such a sheet, you need a rectangular, rather narrow strip of paper. The narrower it is, the thinner the leaf, although it is more difficult to make very thin.

Fold the strip in half.

Draw a slanting line. Please note that in the photo the fold of the paper is on the left.

Cut along the line and you get a double triangle.

Explore its parts.

Fold into a small fold. As you can see, it is problematic to make even folds on very narrow paper, but this will not be displayed on the sheet.

Turn the long side up and fold the harmonica in half. Glue the center.

It will turn out such a narrow sheet of paper accordion.

STRIPED COLORING.

The coloring of silhouettes using the CONTRAST STRIP method looks very nice. That is, we take the usual coloring with leaf patterns and draw straight lines over the picture under the ruler. And then we color all the objects on the sheet, alternating these linear zones in color.

In the example below, we see that the coloring is drawn using a compass (round lines) - but this is not necessarily your lines can be made to fit a straight school ruler.

Here are suitable leaf patterns that you can draw in stripes (straight or arc stripes) and then color in the same style. Alternating pencils from stripe to stripe and using different colors for the background areas and different colors for the leaf areas.

Leaf patterns

for SECTOR COLORING.

Very beautiful crafts on the theme of autumn will turn out if the autumn leaf template is divided into sectors and each sector is painted separately with close shades of the palette or vice versa with contrasting colors.

It turns out the feeling of STAINED GLASS ... as if the picture is made up of multi-colored glass. But in fact, this is an ordinary watercolor, or crayons, or a pencil (your choice).

As you can see, everything is simple. We take a sheet template - we divide it into sectors. each sector is painted over with its own color (it is possible with smooth transitions with spills of shades from one to another) And then we circle the entire contour of the sheet along the edges with a clear color.

To facilitate your work, I give TEMPLATES of leaves with ALREADY READY sector sawing.

You can simply print out these pictures and hand them out to the children and offer to color each sector with crayons of a different color. To make coloring faster, you do not need to change the crayon in your hand every time you move to a new sector. Show the children that it will be faster if you first take a red crayon and color them in 5-7 different sectors (not neighboring ones, but randomly). Then take a yellow chalk and also randomly fill in 5-7 other sectors. It will be faster, and you will meet the time frame of the activity class.

Large leaf patterns can be filled with a thin brush with watercolor or gouache (such as the stencil below).
