But, it turns out, you can make original autumn bouquets very similar to compositions from real roses with your own hands, which will delight the eye throughout the long winter. This article provides a detailed step-by-step description of working with photos.
What do autumn bouquets do with their own hands?

To create a lush and beautiful bud, it is best to use freshly picked and large leaves, even slightly dried leaves will crumble when bent. The color can be completely different, the main thing is that the amount of each of the shades is sufficient. It usually takes six to seven leaves to make one bud. Having gained experience, you can try to use a larger number - up to eight - ten. But then it will be difficult to name a flower and a bud. Such a bouquet of autumn leaves in the form of gorgeous large roses will look like a real masterpiece. Especially if the overall composition is decorated with bright clusters of berries: mountain ash or viburnum. In addition, any other natural material can be useful for decoration. So, be patient and you can get to work.
The procedure for making the bud
Do-it-yourself autumn bouquet in several stages:
1. Folding the middle. Place a large, even sheet on the table, directing its tail toward you. Make the first fold across the main vein. Turning the workpiece 90 °, start twisting it from top to bottom, turning it into a tube.
2. Laying the petals. Having made the middle, begin to form a bud. To do this, select leaves of approximately the same size or first use large, and then smaller ones. Take a leaf in your hands, pointing it with its tail down, and fold it in half. Attach it to the base of the bud.
Then, slightly bending the upper edge outward, begin to wrap the sheet around the middle part so that it is slightly visible.
Lay the remaining layers in the same way, evenly distributing them around the circumference.
3. Fastening the bud. After the flower is fully formed, wrap its base with thin wire or thread. It is very important to tighten and tie all the petals so that the bud does not fall apart.
Bouquet design
