In the fall, many girls make themselves leaf ornaments. One needs this in order to take beautiful photos for social networks, others make accessories to go to a costume party, such as Halloween. Today we will tell you how to make a crown of leaves with your own hands.
Simple option
If the child has a morning party, and you quickly need to make him a crown of leaves for an autumn ball, then you can use this idea. The headdress is collected from maple leaves: the decoration will turn out more magnificent. But if maple does not grow near your home, you can experiment with
leaves of chestnut or mountain ash. But remember that the crown of birch leaves will not look so impressive.
Many mothers collect leaves, make a crown out of them, and then they are surprised that their masterpiece was deformed in the morning. There is nothing strange, the leaves dry and curl up, it’s natural. To prevent such a nuisance from happening with your headgear, you must first prepare the material. Let's get started. We warm up the iron and take the newspaper. Between the pages of the paper edition we lay several leaves, close them. Iron well. Never turn on steaming mode. You need to dry the leaves, and not drive excess moisture into them.
When everything is ready, then proceed to the manufacture of the crown. As a basis, take a cardboard strip. We attach leaves to it with a stapler. You can change their tilt so that the headgear looks interesting. When the work is finished, you can glue the ends of the strip, or you can fasten them with a paper clip.
Difficult option
Such leaf crowns rarely gather on matinees. Usually girls make them for a photo shoot or for a wedding. Moreover, in such a headdress there can be both a bride and all her friends. To create this crown, we do not need dried leaves, we will use the living. But it should be remembered that the life of such a hat is limited to 2-3 days. As materials for creativity, we need fern leaves, ruscus and gypsophila flowers. Let's take a beautiful satin ribbon as the basis. For this purpose, the bezel may well come up. If you make a crown of leaves for long-term use, then all materials will be prudent to sew on. But if you need to wear a hat only once, then you can use the glue gun. Beautifully lay flowers and leaves and sew them. To extend the life of the finished product, you can store it in a container with cold water.
Crown on the rim
The main focus of such a hat will be the flower. For this purpose, you can use dried flowers, as well as leaves. Such a crown will be attached to the rim, and we will not glue it all. Therefore, it is worth thinking about purchasing an accessory in hair color. We begin to make a crown of leaves. Glue a flower on the glue gun. It can be a dried flower. It is recommended to pre-harvest flowers made from maple leaves. We place everything in the center of the composition, and on three sides we surround with maple leaves. The same leaves, but smaller, we place a little at a distance from our dried flower. For a change, berries should be added to the crown. It can be mountain ash or lemongrass. If it seems to you that the crown is not voluminous, add a couple more leaves. The crown is ready, now you can decorate the bezel. Wrap it with a ribbon or a rope in tone, plant several berries on it. In our version, we shifted the entire composition to the right. You can make a standard headpiece with an accent in the middle.
Crown with berries
This option will be similar to the previous one. You can make a crown of autumn leaves, as well as make it of leather. For such a product, we need oak and maple leaves. If you chose the second option, then it is worth cutting and toning the workpiece. Glue the oak leaves to the rim first. They set the width of the crown. Top with volume maple leaves. As a decor, we will use berries. If you are making a crown of natural materials, pay attention to rowan, wild rose and hawthorn. If your headpiece is made of leather, then you can use large red beads as a decor. From the berries we make the center of the crown and harmoniously distribute the decor throughout the product.
Leaf wreath
Such a crown was made by the ancient Greeks from laurel. Today, a wreath is popular among girls who like to be photographed. How to make a crown of leaves, similar to an ancient Greek ornament? The most difficult thing here is to select the material. Laurel can be found only in the south of our country. Alternatively, it is advised to use birch, willow or ruscus leaves. Previously, the material for our crafts needs to be dried a little. We begin to manufacture. Using a hot gun, glue the leaves with a stick down to the rim. You need to glue in one direction to get a kind of ladder. If the end result seems boring to you, no one forbids decorating the product with berries.
Crown of paper leaves
To make a headdress for a child on a matinee without unnecessary trouble, you can use plain or colored paper. Not all mothers want to collect leaves, and then also dry them. It’s much easier to turn a headgear into a game. The young creature with the help of parents will be able to build a crown of leaves with their own hands. First you need to make blanks. Draw leaves or circle those brought from the street. The next step is coloring. If the leaves were made of colored paper, then there is no need to paint them. It remains to attach the result to a paper strip. Glue large leaves back, small forward. We fix the crown with glue, tape or a paper clip.
