Hello dear friends! Putting my decorations aside, I decided to relax a little and plunge into the world of my favorite floristry. It's golden autumn outside and I have brought out for you a new variety of roses with the same name "Golden Autumn"))).

Of course, this is not a real rose, but a rose made from leaves. I use aspen leaves because they look the most like rose petals. In floristry, flowers collected in this way are called glamelia. For those who are not familiar with this name, let me explain: this is when a large flower is collected from individual flower petals (roses, lilies, gladiolus, etc.), each of which is planted on a wire.

And so let's get started.

We will need:

1.Aspen leaves of different sizes and different colors

2. Thin wire, I use floral broth

3. Floral tape

4 Scissors

First you need to select about 30-35 leaves of different colors, increasing evenly. They must be fresh (it is much more difficult to work with dried leaves), clean (if the leaves are dusty, rinse them under water)

We’ve chosen it, okay, now we need to cut off the petiole from each leaf.

Now let’s prepare the wire by cutting it into 8-10cm pieces in an amount equal to our leaves.

Now prepare the tape, tear 4-5 cm pieces in the same quantity as the wire

Great, now let's get down to work.

I start from the largest petal. We take the largest leaf and thread a wire through it, about 0.5-0.7 cm from the bottom edge

We bend the wire, doing everything very carefully so as not to tear the sheet.

Now take the tape and place one end on the wire from the front side and pinch the whole thing between your fingers. Under the warmth of your hands, the tape will slightly stick to the leaf

Now we need to wrap the entire wire with tape. To do this, we begin to slightly stretch and wrap the base of the leaf and the wire stem with tape.

This is what you should get (front side)

Wrong side

To make sure that everything is done correctly, turn the leaf horizontally, it should adhere tightly to our artificial cuttings

Thus, we make cuttings for the remaining leaves, except for the smallest one.

Now take the smallest leaf

Roll the piece of paper into a narrow envelope

Take the wire and pierce all layers of the envelope

bend the wire as on the other sheets

We take the tape and wrap our cutting

Here are all our future rose petals

Well, the first stage is finished, let's start assembling

We take the core and the leaf next to it in size (we slightly bend the leaf at the base of the cutting to the back, the looseness of the rose depends on the angle of the bend, the larger the angle, the more blooming the rose will be)

We apply it to the core, as if wrapping it. We place the cuttings strictly PARALLEL

We take the next leaf and place it on the opposite side of the second petal (we have the core of the first leaf), as if trying to wrap the edges of the second

When all the petals are collected, you need to turn our flower over and secure the stem; to do this, wrap the stem with tape

Here's what we got

When the leaves dry they will curl up and the rose will become more curly, something like this, this is a rose I made last fall

You can make any number of these flowers, in different sizes and colors.

How to use this is a matter of taste.

I made 2 panels from these roses (sorry for the photo quality)

To make roses look more glossy, you can spray them with hairspray

With my own hands. The technology is simple, and the result can be very effective. This decor is suitable simply as an interior decoration. Making is easy to turn into a creative activity with children.

Panel made from natural material

It is very possible to create by gluing dried leaves and flowers, individual petals onto a base, for example, made of cardboard. This technique has its own name - oshibana (or oshibana). Quite often acts as a hobby for adults. Oshibana is the ancient Japanese art of painting with dried leaves and flowers.

This option is also suitable for children's creativity. In the process of completing crafts and preparing materials, the child will learn new information about the world around him and learn to compare colors and shapes. He will develop fine motor skills and perseverance. It is very good to combine leaves and flowers with twigs, seeds, and grains. This way you can get a relief surface and even three-dimensional details.

DIY panel of autumn leaves

So, what does it take to build such beauty? A panel of autumn leaves (photo below) can be made only from flat elements, using both natural forms of objects and complex configurations of artificial origin created on a paper backing.

You can choose the following stories:

bouquets;
landscapes;
still lifes;
portrait or complex thematic ideas.

In a word, this technique is very interesting and unusual. The result depends on your imagination, perseverance and the preparations you have.

Materials and tools

To make a panel of autumn leaves with your own hands, you will need the following:

base (cardboard, fiberboard, paper, for example, colored);
dried leaves, flower petals;
glue;
brush for applying glue (optional);
glass and frame for decorating the work.

So, nothing special is required. The main thing is patience and the desire to do something special.

Leaf preparation technology

To make a beautiful panel from natural material, it is important to properly prepare the source materials. You will need:

freshly picked leaves, flowers, petals;
unnecessary thick books;
cardboard;
cotton wool;
scissors;
threads or large rubber bands (not erasers, but those used for banknotes);
a flat surface that is free for several days (table, shelf).

Drying the material is a slow process, but you definitely shouldn’t rush to get high-quality workpieces for work.

The sequence of drying leaves is as follows:

Place the leaves evenly and neatly between the pages of the unwanted book (the paper may get dirty). Do not lay out the leaves one after another, it is better to do this over several pages (they will dry faster and better and will not stick together).
Place a book under a press (a box, drawer, or several large books).
Wait a few days.
Check if the workpieces are dry. If you are satisfied with the quality, take out the leaves and get to work. If the material is not dry, leave it for another couple of days.

How to dry flowers

Flower petals or small (not thick) flowers are dried in the same way as leaves. So, you can prepare flowers of daffodils, phlox, bindweed, viola (pansies), and bells. But asters, roses and other flowers, which have a dense, fleshy base, are best dried as follows:

Prepare a sheet of cardboard or thick paper slightly larger than the flower itself.
Fold the blank in half like a postcard.
Cut a hole of any shape in the center of each side (this is a kind of ventilation so that the flower does not rot).
Unfold the cardboard and put a layer of cotton wool inside.
Place the flower on the cotton wool.
Add another layer of cotton wool on top.
Cover with cardboard (fold the flaps).
Secure the “card” with rubber bands or tie with thread.
It is advisable to put it under a press.
Check the result after a few days. If the cotton wool is very wet and the flower is not dry, change the cotton wool and dry it completely.

As you can see, the technology for harvesting leaves and flowers is simple, but if you don’t follow it, you won’t get high-quality material. Leaves that are not dried enough may become deformed, and flowers may lose their petals.

Panel technology

To make a beautiful panel of leaves (photo above), you need to work like this:

Use a cardboard base or colored paper if part of the background remains uncovered by the dried material.
To make objects of complex unnatural shapes (vases, houses), cut out substrates (blank parts) from thin paper.
Apply glue to one side of the paper backing and place dry leaves on top.
Wait for the element to dry and trim along the edge contour. Throw away small leaf scraps and use large ones for other parts.
When all the components are ready, apply glue to the base and glue the blanks. If necessary, lay out a background of leaves or petals first.
After the painting has dried, frame it under glass. This way the panel will be better preserved.

Panels of dry leaves can be made in the form of relief using twigs, spikelets, cones, grains and seeds. This option is perfect for children's creativity.

So, making a panel of autumn leaves with your own hands is not difficult. This creative activity can be a fun and rewarding way to spend time with your child. Prepare quality material and explain the technology. Even small children can make a simple composition of leaves and flowers.

Children are easily captivated by something new and interesting. If your child is already bored with drawing or modeling, you can invite him to make crafts from bright autumn leaves. This process is extremely fascinating - amazing things are born from simple dried leaves with the help of glue, thread and other improvised devices. By taking up appliqué or making vases and bouquets, the child will not only be able to develop his creative skills and imagination, but also get to know the environment better. Collecting a herbarium for crafts together is an excellent opportunity to teach your child to distinguish between different tree species. So, what can you make from leaves?

Preparing leaves for crafts

To make any craft from leaves, you only need well-dried material; fresh leaves are not suitable. Preparing the leaves takes a long time, so you will have to be patient. In addition, the material needs to be dried correctly, here are the basic rules:

If the evenness of the leaves is not important for the craft, they can be placed in a spacious container (for example, a large wicker basket) and left in the fresh air. This will allow the leaves to dry quickly and allow air circulation to prevent mold from developing.
To get perfectly smooth leaves, you need to place them between book pages or album sheets under a press. Carefully place the material between the sheets of books or albums. It will take at least 14 days for the material to completely dry and be ready for use.
If you don't want to wait a long time, you can use a special herbarium press. To do this, fold a stack of leaves, alternating each layer with newsprint or scrap sheets. In a few days, the material for the crafts will be ready.

How to Skeleton Leaves

Leaf skeletons, due to their lightness and transparency, look very impressive as decoration. To achieve this effect, you need to resort to a special technique - skeletonization.

What you will need:

any fresh leaves;
soda;
egg dye;
small container - ladle or pan;
Toothbrush;
paper napkins.

How to make skeletonized leaves:

Mix soda and water in proportions of 1 to 4 and place the leaves in the prepared solution so that they are completely hidden by water.
Bring the mixture to a boil and leave to simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove the pan from the stove and remove the leaves, carefully placing them on the table with the glossy side up.
Remove excess moisture using napkins.
Clean the pulp from the leaf with a brush (this must be done very carefully, the leaves are quite fragile).
Rinse the skeleton under water and then paint it the desired color.
Leave the painted skeletonized leaves to dry.

The resulting material is ready for use.

Bouquet of flowers from leaves

A bouquet is the simplest thing that can be made from leaves, and it is worth starting with it if the child has not previously done such crafts. To make a craft in the form of a home bouquet, it is not necessary to use real flowers, dry them, etc. The buds can be made from multi-colored leaves collected on a walk. Involve children in every step of the process, creating a real creative workshop.

What you will need to make the craft:

maple leaves (fresh) with stems;
spool of strong thread.

To make a bud from maple leaves, you will need to perform several steps:

First take one sheet and fold it with the glossy side out.
Roll the leaf into a tube.
Fold the next sheet in half and wrap it around the tube.
Continue wrapping the leaves around the bud until the flower is quite full.
Wrap a thread around the base of the bud to prevent the flower from falling apart.

Using this method, you can make any number of flowers, which are then simply collected into a bouquet.

Topiaries can be made from a variety of materials. You can often find crafts made from coffee, banknotes, sweets, hearts, etc. This version of topiary involves the use of maple leaves.

So, what is needed for topiary:

pot;
wooden stick for the trunk;
a foam or foam ball as a base;
gypsum;
dye;
hot glue;
elements for decoration.

The procedure for creating an autumn topiary looks like this:

The stick must be inserted into the pot and secured tightly with gypsum mortar. As a result, the structure will be strong and stable.
Paint the pot and stick a color you like, such as gold to match the leaves.
We attach a foam ball to the top of the stick - this is the future crown of the tree.
Stick the required number of leaves into the ball. For decoration, you can use berry bunches, ribbons, beads, as well as artificial twigs and flowers. To make the leaf stems more durable, they must first be soaked in a hot solution of glycerin (1 to 2) and left in this form for 10 days in a dark, cool place .
Next, we decorate the trunk and soil of the tree using dry moss, bark, and beads.

How to make a decorative autumn wreath

bunches of red berries (rowan, viburnum, etc.);
physalis;
glue;
spool of strong threads;
decorative metallized threads;
small bird figurines for bouquets.

How to weave a wreath:

The branches will serve as a frame - make a round or oval wreath out of them.

Wrap the frame tightly with gold thread, leaving small branches free.
Glue the leaves to the branches.
Attach the berry clusters using thread.
Glue or wrap physalis with threads.
Finally, attach the birds to the wreath.

glue and brush;
inflatable ball;
petrolatum;
scissors;
maple leaves.

Step-by-step instructions:

Lubricate the surface of the ball with Vaseline, this is necessary so that the leaves do not stick to it during the process and are easily separated from it.
Fix the ball in a stationary state, this will make it more convenient for you to make your vase.
Glue maple leaves to the ball, having first generously coated them with glue.
To make the vase strong enough, you will need several layers of maple leaves.
As soon as the last layer is completed, carefully coat the product with glue again and leave for 3 days.
Burst or deflate the balloon and remove any remaining residue from the product.

The original interior decoration is ready.

Photo frame in autumn style

Glue the leaves onto the frame.
Wait for the product to dry.

When the frame is ready, insert the photo into it, securing it with glue or tape.
