Autumn gives us not only cool weather, rains and slush. Her arrival is usually accompanied by juicy, bright colors, in which nature dresses. Heaps of bright leaves under your feet and ask: "Take us, collect in bouquets, take a piece of autumn with you to the house."
Let's not resist their call. But instead of banal bouquets of leaves, let's try to decorate the interior of the apartment in an autumn style in a new way. And for this we use flowers that will delight the eye for three months, and if desired, longer. Let's make roses out of
autumn leaves.What is needed for such an unusual bouquet?
Naturally, you should first go to the park and collect more bright maple leaves. You can collect everything in a row, but if you want to make the bouquet more interesting, try to find purple or crimson that will become buds of future roses. Well, besides this, you need to prepare a spool of durable thread and a vase. So we don’t need any unusual devices.
Before making roses from maple leaves, they need to be sorted and washed - often dust, particles of soil and other street dirt settle on them. Rinse them under running water and lay on a terry towel to dry.
How to make roses from maple leaves?
We select 5-6 pieces of medium size for one flower. One of them will become the base of our rose, and the rest - its petals. As you know, each leaflet has a front and back side. The first is brighter and smoother, and the streaks are better visible on the back. We fold our leaf horizontally in half. Twist the resulting workpiece tightly with a roll. The core of the bud is ready.
Next, we move on to winding up the petals. We take the next sheet, we also fold in half, but this time so that when applying to the core, the bend is slightly higher than it. The front side of the sheet should be outside. The part protruding above the core is slightly bent outward, and then we wrap the edges around our bud. Then we take the next sheet and do the same operation, but this time from the other side of the core. The first two petals are ready. So we continue to wind up the following leaves until the moment when the bud becomes the right size and splendor.
Now proceed to the final stage. We wrap the finished bud in the base with thread and fix it firmly. We make roses from the leaves using the same method further. After that, we collect them together, wrap around the perimeter with large maple leaves - this time they will be the bordering of the bouquet, and they will also mask the sticking out cuttings at the base of the roses. The resulting flower is tied with threads and put in a vase without water.
Such roses will be a beautiful addition to the decor of the interior. In addition to the simplicity of manufacture, they are also attractive by the brightness of colors. You can make solid - lemon yellow, orange, red - buds and arrange them into the same thematic bouquets. And you can combine different leaves in one flower - you will get very funny colorful roses. In addition, for greater durability, ready-made flowers can be sprayed on top of the most common hair spray. And if it is also with sparkles, the buds will acquire a pleasant flicker. Well, if your house has a can of silver or golden paint, you can make futuristic roses of these shades. Such flowers can be used as Christmas toys, if you carefully cut the cuttings of the sheets and attach a thread of eyelet to the rose.
