Autumn bouquet to the school

When, after the summer holidays, the children return to the school's walls, soon there are themed matinees and celebrations dedicated to this time of year waiting for them. Often children make their own autumn bouquet to school. He can be from anything - from leaves and twigs, from spikes and gifts of nature.

If the child does not know how to make an autumn bouquet to school, then our step-by-step instruction will help him. Thanks to him it is possible to make a real masterpiece from ordinary maple leaves that lie literally under your feet, even without special skills.

Master-class: an odd job for the school "Autumn Bouquet"

1. First of all, of course, we need to collect material for our crafts. These are large maple leaves of red-orange color. The main thing is that they are not dried and brittle, with various defects in the form of dark spots.

In addition, you will also need an adhesive tape or any other that will cover the leg of our future bouquet, as well as scissors and several strong twigs, for example from a pear.

2. In order to make one bud, and we will make an autumn bouquet for the school in the form of a composition of roses, it will take leaves of the same shade. We take the first leaf with the wrong side to ourselves and bend the apex inward. The two remaining edges are bent around the resulting core in turn.
3. This is what the folded sheet looks like - the heart of the future rose. Now, holding it with your fingers, we make the petal in the same way.
4. We wrap around the middle of a new sheet, bending to itself sharp projecting corners. It is necessary to wrap the petals around the middle sufficiently tightly to give the flower a neat and believable look.
5. The number of maple leaves is not regulated by anyone - take as much as it takes to make a beautiful flower. If there are not many of them, you will get a half-opened bud, if a little more - that magnificent rose. Do not forget to hold the design well from below with your fingers, so that the flower does not fall apart at the most inopportune moment.
6. Each new petal should be one level lower than the previous one, so that the rose was like a real one.
7. Now, using a sticky tape or a strip of green material, we pull a fairly thick twig to the legs of the maple leaves. It should be chosen even or slightly curved.
8. Similarly, you can make as many flowers as you want for the composition, but you should not abuse them, so that the autumn bouquet is not too luscious. In our bouquet will be seven flowers and this is quite enough.
9. Such a beautiful rose should come from a regular maple leaf.
10. Now it remains to put an autumn bouquet, made step by step with your own hands, in a suitable vase and it can be presented at a school fair or the celebration of the autumn day.

Now you know how to compose and arrange a simple, but unusually interesting autumn bouquet in school in literally half an hour. You can also decorate your home with such products of your own production.

Having shown a little imagination, thanks to this technique it is possible to make completely different compositions from seemingly the same natural material. If you take not red, but yellow leaves and combine them for example with green, then an entirely different creation will come out.

In addition to the color of the leaves, you can change a little and the technique of execution - if the roses do not twist so much, then the flower will turn out to be somewhat different, more flat, and when the "petals" are placed without a large difference in height, the appearance of our flower will change. Still it is possible to diversify such hand-made decor from berries of a guelder-rose, a mountain ash and dried flowers, which so rich autumn.
