Well, here comes the new autumn. And it means that our golden autumn bouquet becomes relevant again. Well, another retrospective. But for someone it will probably become a discovery.
It’s just a miracle! The reality of unreality! Fold a maple leaf rose!

Virtual lesson from Natalia. The whole sequence of making such a wonderful bouquet is in photos and comments.

Naturally, first of all we collect the leaves. Too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves will NOT work for us. We will use different colors.

For one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.

We fold the first sheet in half across the central vein so that the front side is outside.

And now we roll this folded sheet into a tight roll.

This roll will be the core of the future rose.

Now we begin to lay the "petals" around this core.

To begin with, take a sheet and place a core in the center. Note that the front side of the leaf is inside the flower!

We bend this sheet outward in half. The edge of the bend is located above the core by a centimeter and a half.

And now we also bend this protruding edge outward. But we no longer smooth the fold ...

And we wrap the lateral edges of this double-folded sheet on both sides around the core.

We pinch the lower edges of the leaf at the very base of the flower.

Take a new leaf for the next "petal" and repeat the operation just performed, only this petal is located on the opposite side to the first leaf.

Here, several of the same type, shown above, stages are skipped, when the petals are collected in a bud. Add them until you find it sufficient.

When the bud is ready, we tie its base with threads to secure the flower.

How many flowers there will be in your bouquet is up to you. For this "photo session" three were enough for us.

Now let's take care of the "greenery". The most variegated leaves are suitable here.

To prevent these leaves from curling up into a tube the next day when they dry, it is better to first iron them with an iron between the sheets of newspaper. They will become more fragile, but careful handling will not damage them.

Lay these leaves evenly in a circle under the buds and fix the now finished bouquet at the base with the same threads.

On top of the threads, by the way, it will be possible to wrap this knot with yellow paper tape (masking tape), this will hide the threads and make it look more neat and finished (there is no paper tape in the photographs).

Here is the autumn bouquet and ready.

I'll tell you a secret, one of these three roses was folded by I. I think that it is easy to recognize.

P.S. And here is some advice from the users of the forum on www.EVA.RU:

"To stand longer, you need to grease the twisted roses with vegetable oil (with a brush). It is absorbed in two days, the leaves become soft, do not dry out, do not lose color and do not shrink. It dawned on me the day before yesterday. :) I smeared half of the roses - today the difference is obvious. "

, natural leather and other materials at hand for making crafts, from which we learned to make beautiful artificial flowers.

Autumn has long come into its own and painted the world around us with bright, multi-colored colors. Autumn gave us wonderful natural materials for making unique crafts with our own hands - fallen from trees

autumn leaves different sizes and with bizarre shapes, as well as numerous flowers and inflorescences that we will use to make beautiful flowers,cute lamps , graceful bouquets with artificial roses,original compositions of vegetables and fruits for interior decoration.

And the kids will be happy to help their parents create amazing crafts from the handyman, absolutelywaste natural material ... Such joint leisure is very useful for the development of imagination, fine motor skills of hands, sensory abilities of young children and primary schoolchildren.

From autumn natural materials, you can make not only simple crafts, children's educational toys, applications and herbarium. Interior designers have long adopted the unique beauty and indescribable sophistication of autumn gifts. The walls of the rooms candecorate with exquisite panels and paintings with compositions in the form of flowers from autumn fallen leaves (maple, oak, chestnut), folded with their own hands in a special way. To use fallen leaves of trees and dryflowers for making crafts , bouquets and compositions with your own hands, it is important to properly prepare these natural materials before work. You probably already know that autumn leaves can be laid between the sheets of albums (books, magazines, newspapers) and the load can be placed on top. This method of preparation is suitable for forming a herbarium, children's applique or collage.from dried leaves.

But for making voluminous crafts and bouquets with flowers from autumn leaves fallen from trees, this method is not suitable. Before you start rolling such flowers (for example, roses from red maple leaves) from leaves fallen from trees, it is important to properly process them in order tocrafts kept their original appearance long time. We will tell you about this in detail in this article later. In addition to advice and useful ideas for creating bouquets and compositions from natural materials, you will find herevideo lessons , as well as master classes, with the help of which you can quickly make with your own hands both simple compositions (children's handicrafts from leaves, appliques, figures, collages), and complex bouquets and objectsfor interior decoration in the form of bouquets with flowers from autumn leaves (topiary ) or a composition of dried flowers (see photo).

You will learn how to properly handle and preserve maple leaves and autumn flowers so that made from thembeautiful crafts did not become brittle, shapeless and twisted objects. And you can make any of these natural gifts of autumn in a wide variety of colors and with surprisingly different bizarre shapes.artificial flowers - big roses , little cornflowers, graceful chrysanthemums, cute daisies,gorgeous water lilies ... The color of these homemade flowers can be very different (not only yellow or red) - after all, dried autumn leaves can be painted with an acrylic primer with the addition of the desired color scheme (and then covered with colorless varnish). With the help of helium pens, you can apply different patterns and geometric figures on the surfaceartificial flowers autumn theme.

Ideas for creativity:

- Application.
A great idea for spending leisure time with your child! Have you already collected many beautiful fallen leaves and autumn flowers in the yard, dried it, made a colorful herbarium? Let's not stop there! Spread a large sheet of thick paper or cardboard on the table, lay out our "harvest" on it and fold original compositionby combining colors and different forms of natural materials ... You can glue the details of the autumn composition to the base with PVA glue (but it is better to use photo glue or gum arabic);

- Collage.
You can put together a layered bright collage with your child under the frame. The lower layer is large dark and brown leaves, then greenish, the upper layers are small bright contrasting leaves of red and yellow flowers... Add dry autumn flowers to the collage, add different shapes from them and get a beautiful volumetric composition.
Or you can add letters or words (as well as shapes) to the collage - tightly press a sheet of cardboard with cut letters to the glued composition and carefully cut out the letter pattern with a clerical knife (of course, by the hands of parents, not a child);

- An educational game for a child.
A wonderful idea that your baby will love before school age! Glue a half of a fallen leaf on a sheet of paper (first cut the sheet vertically). The child's task is to draw the missing half of the sheet with a pencil (felt-tip pen). Encourage your kid to choose a suitable pencil color and carefully look at the shape of the halves in order to accurately reproduce the mirror part of the composition. The most difficult option is a maple leaf, leave it for later and help the kid draw a little;

- Painted autumn leaves.
You can decorate both flat and voluminous leaf crafts with painting. For this work, use helium pens and felt-tip pens (with silver, gold, white and other colors). Bouquets with decorated artificial flowers will be fine and other interior objects;

- Bouquet of autumn leaves and dried flowers.
You will find information below how to fold flowers from maple leaves with your own hands and collect a bouquet from them. If you decorate such a bouquet with dried flowers and put it in a small wide vase, you will get an excellent compositional center for your room;



- A tree or topiary made of autumn materials.
Another great option for interior decoration. From the fallen branches, you can fold a small tree and decorate it with homemade flowers made from leaves. Orfold the topiary with your own hands (see photo) by attaching a lot of such flowers to a floral ball (option: to a foam ball);

Tree (photo):


- A three-dimensional picture of the gifts of autumn.
You can use a large photo frame or wooden frame for pictures. The background can be donemade of cardboard, painted in a suitable color ... We make interesting compositions of maple leaves, dried flowers, fallen pine needles and other natural materials with our own hands, attaching them to the base with a wire.

Helpful hints:

How to prepare autumn leaves for making crafts and appliques at home.

- for voluminous crafts in the form of flowers and bouquets.
We will not be able to fold voluminous crafts from dried leaves, since they are too brittle. Therefore, we will specially process the collected leaves. We separate the solution - 200 ml. glycerin per 400 ml. pure water... In a dense plastic bag, carefully put the leaves fallen from the trees and level them, then fill them with the prepared solution. The package with the contents must be sealed tightly (with a heated knife) or sealed with adhesive tape. Leave this bag in a dark closet for 3-4 days, and then spread the leaves on paper towel dry out. From these flexible leaves that retain their original appearance for a long time, the most different flowers (below - MK: how to make beautiful roses from maple leaves with your own hands);

- for flat autumn compositions (applications, collages).
Leaves and flowers collected in autumn are best dried in massive magazines and reference books. The collected natural materials must be well pressed with a weighty load placed on top of the reference book.

How to dry autumn flowers for crafts and compositions:

- drying with an iron.
Autumn leaves and many small flowers can be ironed dry. To do this, lay out natural materials on thick cardboard. , cover the top with a thin paper sheet and iron with a not very heated iron until all the moisture evaporates;

- natural drying.
great for drying autumn flowers. In a dry place with good air circulation, tighten the rope. We put the collected flowers in bunches and hang them on a rope with inflorescences down;

- drying in the oven.
a great way to dry large single flowers (roses, tulips, peonies) for making compositions. The temperature in the oven should not be very high - about 50-60 ° C. Watch the process carefully so that the flowers do not turn brown and do not lose their shape during drying;

- volumetric drying of flowers.
According to many experienced florists, this method of drying autumn flowers preserves their natural shape and color. The cut flower is placed in calcined dry sand for 4 weeks. As a container, you can use a drawer with a fine mesh at the bottom and a pull-out bottom. Flowers with double and voluminous inflorescences (lilies, dahlias, roses) are placed in the sand with stems down, and with flat inflorescences-baskets (buttercups, chamomile, asters, forget-me-nots) - with stems up.

What tools and materials can be useful for making autumn crafts:

- Scissors.
Small scissors with blunt ends for a child and sharp long ones for an adult;

Stationery knife and stacks.
With the help of a clerical knife, it is convenient to cut the multi-layer parts of the craft. Plastic stacks are great tools for a child with which he can cut individual leaves for applique;

For convenience, choose a tool with a wide wooden handle (length - 5-6 cm) and not very thick piercing part;

- Long tweezers and tweezers.
It is convenient to move with tweezers small parts crafts. Tweezers with a flattened twisted front can be borrowed from the manicure set. It is very convenient to twist individual parts of the product and wire with such tweezers;

- Thin wire.
It is often used to form the frame of crafts and toys from natural materials. It is advisable to use a flexible and strong copper wire with a diameter of 0.35 mm to fasten the individual parts;

- Foil and foil paper.
For decorating autumn crafts, for appliques and collages;

- Sewing needle and thread.
To connect individual parts handicrafts for the formation of bouquets of leaves and dried flowers;

- Paper.

For the manufacture of crafts, applications, bouquets, panels and wall compositions from natural materials, you can use corrugated, wallpaper, velvet, parchment, landscape, wrapping, copying and other types of paper;

- Plasticine and plastic (polymer clay).
For fastening, as well as for sculpting individual parts that complement products from leaves, dried flowers. Working with plasticine and polymer clay your child can do;

You can use the same maple leaves as the leaves for this bouquet with artificial homemade flowers. Make the roses red and yellow.

So let's get to work:

- take a maple leaf and bend it in half (front side outward);

We bend the very tip and twist the leaf into a roll;

Take the second maple leaf of the same color, put the already twisted bud in its base (see photo);

Form a maple rose petal by bending the leaf and wrapping it tightly around the bud;

We wrap the third maple leaf in the same way. The more such rose petals there are, the more voluminous and larger the rose will turn out. Move each subsequent row down a little so that the flower looks blooming;

Just above the leaf stalks, we fix the craft with a thread;

Similarly, we will make 5-7 more of the same roses (yellow, red, greenish);

Lubricate maple roses with sunflower oil so that the bouquet retains its original appearance for a long time. Now you can cover the crafts with golden paint;

It remains to dip a few maple leaves into a small vase, and then form a beautiful bunch of artificial roses.

A new autumn has come, and our golden autumn bouquet of roses made from leaves is becoming relevant again. It’s just a miracle! The reality of unreality is to fold rose petals from a maple leaf!

The author of the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking roses from autumn leaves is my colleague, a teacher primary school Natalia Yakubova. Unfortunately, her lesson - how to make a rose from maple leaves - was copied from us by many sites without attribution of these materials ...

We are happy to share this art with the readers of the site.

So, a virtual lesson from Natalia: the sequence of making such a wonderful bouquet of roses from leaves, with my photos and comments.
At the end of the article - advice from our readers who have learned how to make a bouquet of roses from leaves.

Making a rose from maple leaves step by step

We collect suitable leaves (too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are NOT suitable for us) of various colors. To make one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.

We fold the first sheet in half, across the central vein - so that the front side of the sheet is outside.
And now we roll this folded sheet into a tight roll. This roll will be the "heart" of the rose.

Now around this "core" of the flower, we begin to lay "petals". To begin with, we take a leaf, and in its center we place the "core" (note, the front side of the leaf is inside the future flower!).
We bend this sheet outward in half. The edge of the bend of the "petal" is located above the "core" by a centimeter and a half. Smooth the fold of the sheet.
And now we also bend this protruding edge of the sheet outward, but we no longer smooth the fold ...

We wrap the lateral edges of this double-folded sheet on both sides around the "core".
We pinch the lower edges of the leaf at the very base of the flower.
Take a new leaf for the next "petal" and repeat the operation just performed. Only this petal is now located on the side opposite to the first sheet.

Next, we do several similar operations, adding new leaves - now the petals are collected in a bud. Add leaves until you feel like it is enough to complete the flower.
When the bud is ready, we tie its base with threads to secure the flower.
How many flowers there will be in your bouquet is up to you. For this "photo session" we needed three ...

Making a bouquet

Now let's take care of the "greenery" of the bouquet that frames our roses. The most beautiful and variegated leaves are suitable here.

To prevent these leaves from curling up into a tube the next day when they dry, it is better to first iron them with an iron between the sheets of newspaper. After this procedure, they will become more fragile, but with careful handling, they will not be damaged.

Place the prepared leaves evenly in a circle, placing them under the buds in your hand. Then we fix the now finished bouquet at its base with the same threads.
By the way, over the threads it will be possible to wrap this knot with yellow paper tape (masking tape). The ribbon will hide the threads and make the bouquet look neat and finished.

Here is our autumn bouquet of maple leaves and you're done!
I'll tell you a secret that I rolled one of the three roses of this bouquet :)

But what advice came to us from the users of the forum site www.eva.ru:
“For a bouquet of roses from leaves to last longer, it is necessary to lubricate the already twisted roses with vegetable oil (with a brush). The oil is absorbed in two days. The leaves become soft, do not dry out, do not lose color and do not shrink "

Tips from our readers:

“Indeed, flowers from the leaves oiled with sunflower oil last much longer. Checked: our rose has been standing for a year, and still the same beauty :)
By the way, you can add a couple of drops to sunflower oil. essential oil... I added pine - I really liked the result. Or take an orange one - it has been proven to improve mood. Experiment! "

“Sunflower oil will dry out over time and turn into a sticky“ drying oil ”.
Florists for use.
If twigs or leaves are placed in a mixture of glycerin and water (3: 1, hot water), they will not dry out, but remain soft. The only thing is a possible unpredictable change in the color of the leaves.
Probably, you can grease the autumn leaves with pure glycerin for softness. Or liquid silicone. "

“You can go to the flower department and ask to pour over all this beauty with a special varnish, which is used when and when it is not necessary to process cut flowers”.

“You can process the finished bouquet of roses with regular hairspray :)))
I watched how they make a passepartout from autumn leaves - they are covered with some kind of special glue, which makes the entire texture of the leaf clear. Then all its veins become very distinct, and the color of the leaf plays. "

“At home I have a can of flower varnish (well, so that glossy leaves indoor plants shone better). So we covered our bouquet of 11 roses with this varnish, and it turned out very cool! "

“I was able to fix such a stunning bouquet of autumn leaves with melted wax. Roses and individual leaves after such treatment have not lost their color and delight us for the second year! "

“We also sprinkled our made roses with sparkles, and it turned out to be generally gorgeous!”.

“Last fall, I painted the roses made from leaves with gold paint, and in the winter I decorated the tree with them.”
Here's what happened:

"And we in Israel made roses from sycamore leaves."

“We don't have red-leaved maples in the area. I had to use wonderful crimson-red leaves both for making miniature roses and for framing the bouquet. "

“Maple leaves are essential for making roses. Moreover, if the size of the leaves is different, then you need to start with smaller ones, because the growing volume of the rose needs a larger leaf every time. "
