Wreath with flowers of pine cones

Initially, we were going to use this decoration as a classic over-wreath. But it turned out to be so great that we decided to find it for use in the interior interiors of the house.

Necessary materials:

• Many small pine cones;


• 3 large pine cones;


• Foam base for a wreath (diameter 30cm or more);


• Sackcloth;


• Thermo gun with hot glue;


• A small manual secateur;


• A large pruner for shrubs;


• Acrylic colors (yellow, orange, beige and brown colors);


• A few small twigs;


• A beautiful ribbon (for hanging a wreath);


• Sprig of berries;


• Transparent acrylic spray (optional).

Instruction:

1. Use a manual pruner to divide small pine cones into flat sections, forming "flowers". Start from the base of the cone, gradually moving to the top. Use the end of the pruner to remove damaged lump bumps.

This is a rather dirty part of the work, after whichthere is a lot of waste, so it is advisable to cover the working surface first, and place a trash can near the workplace. If there is such an opportunity, transfer this part of the work to the street. Note! With cutting tools, handle very carefully! Keep your fingers out of the work area of ​​the pruner.

2. Wrap the foam base with burlap and fix it with hot glue on the back of the wreath.

3. Attach the "flowers" to the burlap with hot glue. Place the "flowers" close enough to each other, leaving no space between them. "Flower petals" can overlap each other.

4. Attach with dry glue dry twigs and twigs with berries on the back of the wreath. 5. Fold the tape in half and tighten it in the form of a loop on the top of the wreath. The wreath is ready. Now you can begin to make the final decoration - large flowers of pine cones.

6. Use a large pruner to cut large pine cones into flat sections. Be careful! You can also use protective goggles in this part of the work in order not to injure the eyes with flying parts of cones.

7. Color the resulting "flowers" colors of different colors. We left the center of the "flowers" untouched, so that their core was brown, and the petals - colored.

8. To protect the wreath from external influences, spray on it the required amount of transparent acrylic.

Wreath from the vine

This version of the wreath is more suitable for using it on the street, as it is able to withstand wind gusts, dust and rain drops on it. Yes, this is a real wreath!

• Large pine cones;


• Three branches with berries;


• Soft wire for crafts;


• Thermo gun with hot glue;

• Sprigs;


• Two large magnets (optional);


• Transparent acrylic spray (optional).

Instruction:

1. Make and color large flowers from pine cones (for details, see the previous instructions, points 6-7).

2. Attach ready-made flowers to twigs of suitable shape with hot glue.

3. Attach twigs with "flowers" and twigs with berries to a wreath with a wire for crafts. Apply a certain amount of acrylic spray to the finished wreath, thus creating a protective coating on it.

4. Tie a wooden letter or other symbol to the tape. Tape a ribbon at the top of the wreath so that the letter / symbol is located at its center. 5. We used magnets to attach the wreath to the door.

Autumn falling stars

These simple decorations are a good excuse to take childrenfor a walk in the autumn park and instruct them to collect materials for the craft: stems from dried chestnut leaves, twigs of berries and small leaves of other trees of beautiful shapes and colors.

Necessary materials:

This method of connection will allow the rays of the starKeep in a fixed position without the use of adhesives. To the ready stars tie the branches of berries and leaves with the help of all the same wire. Then decorate with the stars the interior of the house to your liking.
