Craft crafts from leaves is very exciting. In this master class we will make roses from maple leaves
Here comes autumn again.Now autumn golden bouquets are becoming relevant again. Well, another retrospective. But for someone it will probably be a revelation. Just some kind of miracle! The reality of unreality! Fold a rose from a maple leaf! We offer you a master class, which describes the entire sequence of making such a wonderful bouquet - in photographs and comments.Naturally, first of all we collect leaves. We will NOT use too small, dry, sick, torn leaves. We will use different colors.For one flower, it is better to select leaves of the same color. Fold the first leaf in half across the central vein so that the front side is on the outside. Now we roll this folded sheet to form a tight roll. This roll will be the core of the future rose.Now we start laying the petals around this core. To begin with, we take a sheet and place the core in its center. Note that the front side of the sheet is inside the flower!We bend this sheet outward in half. The edge of the bend is located above the core by one and a half centimeters. Now we also bend this protruding edge outward. But we don’t smooth out the fold anymore -- and we wrap the side edges of this twice folded sheet on both sides around the core. We pinch the lower edges of the leaf at the very base of the flower.We take a new sheet for the next “petal” and repeat the same steps with it, only this petal is located on the opposite side from the first sheet. Here are a few similar ones missing,shown above, the stages when the petals are collected into a bud. Add them until you think there are enough. When the bud is ready, we tie its base with threads to secure the flower. How many flowers will be in your bouquet - it's up to you. For this master class, three were enough for us.Now let's get to the "greens".The most colorful leaves will do here. To prevent these leaves from curling up into a tube the next day when drying, it is better to iron them first between sheets of newspaper. They will become more fragile, but careful handling will not damage them. We evenly place these leaves in a circle under the buds and fix the now finished bouquet at the base with the same threads.By the way, you can wrap this over the threadsknot with yellow paper tape (masking tape), this will hide the threads and make the look neater and more finished (there is no paper tape in the photos).That's it, our autumn bouquet is ready!
