Autumn bouquet: crafts made of natural material
Autumn bouquets of leaves can be realmasterpieces worthy of decorating the modern interior. They can be brought to school or kindergarten on the first of September, they will become a beautiful and unusual gift. To make a classic autumn bouquet with leaves to school, for junior classes, or for kindergarten, simply add to the usual bouquet of late flowers yellow autumn leaves, cane, dried up inflorescences, rowan berries.
Only make sure that they are not dried up,that are scattered from the touch. In the autumn bouquet, like any other, you can add a "delicious" component - sweets wrapped in maple leaves, as if they are the heart of roses.
And choosing a vase for such a bouquet, payattention and to natural materials - for example, an empty dried pumpkin or a basket of vines is good. A bouquet of only leaves leaves water even harmful, but if you have fresh flowers in your bouquet or if you just prefer an ordinary vase, you can decorate it with leaves or other natural materials - pasting acorn hats mixed with coffee beans, painting with a leaf pattern or using leaves as stamps for paint, which must be applied to the vase.
A bouquet of only leaves
This bouquet is not put into the water - the leaves quicklyrot in it. But to dry it will be appropriate, and no special action is required for this - a month later in a dry room, the leaves will dry themselves. You will need a lot of maple leaves (always with cuttings, so that they can then be fastened together). Of the majority you need to fold the roses, and the rest will be the background complement in the bouquet (this should be the most elegant, without damaging the leaves). Rosettes from maple leaves can be folded in two ways.
First:
- fold the sheet in half (across), smooth side outwards;
- densely fold it, beginning with the edge;
- do the same with the next sheet, but fold it already along with the first, as if wrapping the second around;
- Each subsequent leaf fold less tightly to simulate not a bud, but ordinary petals;
- tie together the cuttings of all the leaves of the "rose";
- connect with the leaves-background and put in the vase.
The second way:
- each leaf fold "envelope", first folding it in half, as in the first version, and then bent inside the edge;
- make more of these petals, and then connect them;
- add leaves for the background and put in the vase.
Autumn bouquet of sap from leaves
Such a "tree" - a bouquet on a long stalk of stems, - usually has a rounded crown and a thin trunk.
You will need:
- thick wire;
- long sticks;
- flowers (of your choice);
- leaves with cuttings or even slices of branches;
- fern, berries of mountain ash on long thin branches, reeds and any other material-decoration;
- natural tourniquet;
- colored adhesive tape (green, brown or orange, in the color of the bouquet);
As a basis, take the mountain ash on the branches. Add branches to the branches and carefully fix the structure with wire, wrapping it around. Attach the flowers and re-add the wire so that the bouquet does not decay. Form the "crown" according to your taste, arranging in a harmonious manner flowers, fern, reeds and leaves.
Wrap very tightly with a cloth tape all over"trunk" of branches, sticks and wire, from the bottom to the top. The leaves, of course, do not fall into the trunk itself and will not be attached to it in any way (except, perhaps, a long fern), but if the bouquet is dense enough, they will still hold well. Decorate the trunk with a natural bundle.
