Make an autumn bouquet of maple leaves and take with you in the winter a piece of this autumn.
Autumn... A good time of year, when it's stillthe sun is shining through the window and it is relatively warm. But when it gets cold, we think about when spring or summer will come? Let's take a piece of warm autumn with us for the long winter. It's very simple. We can make a bouquet of fallen maple leaves, dry it and admire it on long winter evenings. What do we need? - maple leaves - poplar leaves - cypress branch - threadNot all maple leaves will suit us.We immediately put aside dry and broken ones. We need freshly fallen leaves. They are still quite soft and easy to shape. For one bud, we try to choose leaves of the same color. We fold the maple leaf in half. With the front side facing us.And we roll it tightly into a tube – this is the core.For the petal, take another maple leaf, fold it in half and attach the core to the center, 1 cm below the fold line.We bend the part that protrudes outward.Now we will form the petal itself. We wrap the side edges of the leaf around the core and press it at the base.Thus, we obtain the first petal.Let's make a few more petals until it seems to us that the rosebud is already finished.We attach the petals at the base with thread.We make the required number of roses for the bouquet. We will make a bouquet of 11 roses.Once the roses are done, the most pleasant part remainswork is the formation of a bouquet. First we come up with an image, and then we try to bring it to life. The bouquet will have a tail. So let's start forming the tail. We place a rosebud on a small poplar leaf, wrap it and fix it with a thread.A little below the first bud we place the second one, also wrapped in a poplar leaf, and secure everything with a thread.We braid the tail, placing each subsequent bud below the previous one in a checkerboard pattern.From the back side you can see how everything is tightly fixed with thread so that the tail does not spread to the sides.The tail is made of five buds, the sixth smoothly turns into a bouquet. In the bouquet itself there are 5 roses, which we also alternately wove and added cypress for decoration.The more roses you take, the more lush the bouquet will be. When forming this particular bouquet, try to give it the shape of an arc. This way it looks more impressive.That's it. Our bouquet is ready.
