When after summer holidays children return to school, and soon they will be greeted with themed matinees and celebrations dedicated to this time of year. Children often make an autumn bouquet for school with their own hands. It can be made from anything - from leaves and twigs, from spikelets and gifts of nature.
If a child doesn’t know how to make an autumn bouquet for school, then our step-by-step instructions will help him. Thanks to him, it is possible from ordinary maple leaves, which lie literally under your feet, make a real masterpiece even without special skills.
Master class: craft for school “Autumn Bouquet”
- The first step, of course, is to collect material for our craft. These will be large maple leaves of red-orange color. The main thing is that they are not dry and brittle, with various defects in the form of dark spots.
- In order to make one bud, and we will be making an autumn bouquet for school in the form of a composition of roses, you will need leaves of the same shade. We take the first leaf with the wrong side facing us and bend the top inward. We bend the two remaining edges around the resulting core one by one.
- This is what a folded leaf looks like - the core of the future rose. Now, holding it with your fingers, we make a petal in the same way.
- We wrap a new sheet around the middle, bending the sharp protruding corners towards ourselves. You should wrap the petals around the center tightly enough to give the flower a neat and believable appearance.
- The number of maple leaves is not regulated by anyone - take as many as you need to get it beautiful flower. If there are few of them, then you will get a half-opened bud, if there are a little more, then a lush rose. Do not forget to hold the structure well from below with your fingers so that the flower does not fall apart at the most inopportune moment.
- Each new petal should be one level lower than the previous one so that the rose looks like a real one.
- Now, using adhesive tape or a strip of green material, we attach a fairly thick twig to the legs of the maple leaves. It should be flat or slightly curved.
- In a similar way, you can make as many flowers as you like for the composition, but you should not overuse them so that the autumn bouquet does not become too cluttered. Our bouquet will have seven flowers and that is quite enough.
- This is the kind of beautiful rose you should get from an ordinary maple leaf.
- Now all that remains is to put the autumn bouquet, made in stages with your own hands, into a suitable vase and it can be presented at a school fair or autumn celebration.
In addition, you will also need adhesive tape or any other tape that will cover the stem of our future bouquet, as well as scissors and several strong twigs, for example from a pear.
Now you know how to compose and decorate a simple but extremely interesting autumn bouquet for school in just half an hour. Such products own production You can also decorate your home.
With a little imagination, thanks similar technology you can make completely different compositions from seemingly the same natural material. If you take not red, but yellow leaves and combine them, for example, with green ones, you will get a completely different creation.
In addition to the color of the leaves, you can also slightly change the technique - if you twist the roses less tightly, you will get a slightly different flower, more flat shape, and when the “petals” are placed without a large difference in height, the appearance of our flower changes. You can also diversify this craft with decor from viburnum berries, rowan berries and dried flowers, which autumn is so rich in.

A bright fire breaks out. The last flowers of the passing summer, ripe fruits and vegetables can make an excellent ensemble that decorates and refreshes the interior.
Autumn bouquets of flowers
When it’s raining and slush outside, a sincere gift - a bouquet of fresh flowers - can warm your soul. Such compositions have their own characteristics:
- When creating an autumn bouquet, you can combine live plants and dried flowers. It would be appropriate to supplement it with fruits, berries, and colorful autumn leaves.
- The color palette should match the season. The choice should be made on red, orange, yellow, burgundy shades. However, one must maintain moderation in choice and avoid unnecessary diversity.
- Flowers, traditionally symbolizing spring and summer, will be inappropriate here. The basis of the bouquet is usually gerberas, asters, chrysanthemums, and dahlias. And, of course, cream and orange roses are great.
- The leitmotif of the compositions is harvest, prosperity, satiety. This is not the time for minimalist solutions and asceticism. Autumn bouquet should look rich and luxurious.
Florists prefer compact round compositions. People with a sufficient amount of imagination can experiment and create complex and unusual shapes. Decorative trees - topiary - are very popular and are often used to decorate any interior.
A bountiful harvest
When creating autumn bouquets and compositions, you can completely abandon the use of cut flowers. Other gifts of autumn will help you quickly and effortlessly revive the atmosphere of your home. The basis can be completely different elements: spectacular branches, dry ears, ripe fruits.
An autumn bouquet of leaves is the simplest and most popular home decoration. It can be collected right on the street and supplemented with bunches of rowan berries, cones or acorns. Fruit and vegetable compositions in rustic style not only beautiful. After admiring the spectacular basket filled with fruits and autumn berries, you can use the edible art object for its intended purpose
Door wreaths are not only used at Christmas. The rods twisted into a ring are decorated with small apples, scarlet balls of viburnum and barberry, nuts and bright foliage.
Pumpkins are a separate issue. They can be used both solo and in an ensemble, selected according to the color, size and shape of the fruit. Small decorative pumpkins can be placed in a tall transparent vase. Large orange beauties themselves can serve as a vase for autumn compositions. And you can turn them into original candlesticks by removing the pulp and cutting out an unusual design on the walls.
Decent framing
To successfully create a composition, three things are needed:
The container in which the autumn bouquet will stand should be selected in the same style as it. A clay jug or pot wrapped in terracotta velvet paper and tied with a checkered ribbon would look appropriate.
Decorative baskets are good on their own, but you can add bright accent, securing tangerines or dried orange slices between the rods.
They can decorate a table or mantelpiece in different shapes if you pour decorative seeds and inflorescences into them, and put a few twigs and candles nearby.
Matching tablecloths will help maintain the autumn atmosphere, kitchen towels, decorative items.
It is better when the autumn bouquet contains more bright and rich flowers. Asters, roses, ripe juicy rose hips+ small inclusions of fresh leaves and stems of herbal plants.
To the bouquet looked like one solid whole- it makes sense to TIE IT into a single BUNCH - and then insert it into a vase in a bundle as a WHOLE AUTUMN COMPOSITION.
It is not necessary to use long stems of flowers and plants... An autumn bouquet can be made from short cut flowers and branches(as in the floral examples below).
Branches fruits of rose hips, hawthorn, barberry and rowan The bouquet creates a special flavor of autumn floristry. You can also add deciduous branches of bushes or trees... heavy fruits along the bottom line of the composition and blue flowers along the top edge of the bouquet.
Autumn flowers: garden roses, asters, rose hips and wild roses... And original floral inserts - in the form miniature pumpkins or pumpkins... In order for heavy pumpkin fruits to hold well in a bouquet, you need to carefully “drill” a hole in them... find a strong branch... and pin the squash onto the branch. And just like that, insert it on a branch into our autumn bouquet.
Any container can serve as a vase for an autumn composition... for example tin milk jug(as in the photo above). Or a clay decorative amphora... or you can place a vessel with water in a wicker basket.
Fresh berries can also be present in an autumn bouquet.
Branches of red currant will give the bouquet a juicy shade - especially if the roses also match the color of the berries. And by the way... in the same composition in the photo below clearly you can see the RULE OF THREE CLASSIC LINES of a bouquet(which I will talk about below).
Autumn bouquets of LEAVES.
You can just cut it off from dwarf maple beautiful twigs with yellow maple leaves. Let their beautiful twigs be visible in the crystal water of a transparent vase.
And another interesting move - if you put cleanly washed carrot root vegetables- there is no need to cut the tops, they will serve as part of the autumn bouquet. And by the way, one thing is visible in this bouquet classic rule compositions (and not only autumn ones).
Dry transparent leafy stems It’s better to choose tall ones - so that they create the TOP EDGE of the bouquet... and place them on the BOTTOM bright juicy flowers and leaves.
HOW to compose a bouquet - rules for the correct placement of lines.
The bouquet also has a RULE OF LINES... This rule is well illustrated by the following photograph. It is necessary to comply with Three main directions (see yellow branches)- branch UP with a slope to the left... branch to the LEFT with a slight rise... branch to the RIGHT almost horizontally.
And for balance - a few branches or stems should hang down (these are the brown branches in the photo below)
Here is the bouquet below - also created according to the same principle of THREE CLASSIC LINES OF COMPOSITION.
LEAVES AND FLOWERS - a friendly combination of shapes and shades.
Small bouquets of flowers look beautiful autumn flowers and large leaves... Chrysanthemums are ideal for this purpose - they last for a very long time without fading...
The color of tea roses... and the orange-yellow hue of lilies perfectly match the shade of autumn foliage... and in the bouquet we emphasize this color match with green-leafed plants. And also note that as linear elements- are used plant seed stems(brown in the photo below).
Here's an example of how You can make “tea” roses with your own hands from ordinary maple leaves. Below we see the very essence of the technology - and to help yourself it’s better to take duct tape to wrap the bases of such leafy buds along the way (and it is better to choose a green ribbon - sold in construction and florist stores).
DRY BOUQUETS for autumn interior.
DRY BOUQUETS are a great idea for interior decoration on long time. So autumn compositions no moisture needed. Such a dry bouquet can even be painted with spray paint (as in the photo below).
Or bouquets can be decorated as decorative "heap" from leaves, cones, plant seed pods, dry branches, berry umbrellas and other natural material.
MINIMALIST DESIGN - in the design of an autumn bouquet.
The bouquet can be quite modest- the main thing is that the design is stylish. Here's how in the photo below - you can glue funny inflorescences from acorns and acorn caps... and insert such dried flowers into a vase along with oak leaves. This is great autumn craft For kindergarten(can be done with your child). You'll just have to make the wire holders yourself.
Even so modest composition of leaves in beakers- looks self-sufficient. Also an example of minimalism in an interior bouquet.
After all, you really don’t need much. Small flowers... stems of cereals... umbrella branches with berries - and now you have a beautiful autumn bouquet for a small composition on the table.
Or you can use cups of flowers with a very short stem- if you place them at the bottom of a large glass vase. For linear harmony, add tall stems- but in muted colors... so that they do not draw attention to themselves and the center of the composition remains JUICY BRIGHT FLOWERS.
Or flower cups can be arranged beautifully flower carpet in a flat vase(similar to a bowl or salad bowl).
By the same principle you can make a bouquet of rowan branches, juniper branches and pine needles...
If you haven’t found a beautiful salad bowl... then you can mask its walls with dry leaves- securing it all with turns of coarse rope, or woolen knitting thread (as in the photo below).
And by the way - this photo below is an example of that HOW TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR WILLING ROSES(which were given to you... they are standing in a vase and have already drooped their heads and are about to start losing their petals - despite the fact that you change the water and trim the stems)...
Withered calyxes will instantly come back to life... if you cut them short. put it in a small bowl (as in the photo below) and decorate the bowl with this leafy wrapper... The secret is that it won’t take long for the water to get to the bud along a long stem... the buds will receive plenty of water and again the petals will become dense and elastic... and your roses will delight you for a long time...
AUTUMN BOUQUETS - on an “oasis” (floral foam).
You can make a bouquet arrangement in the EASTERN STYLE - when the material for bouquets OASIS is placed in a flat vase (this is a porous material, plasticine foam. It is soaked with water and the stems are stuck into it - such a bouquet lives for a long time due to the moisture accumulated in the oasis. And it just takes time Moisten this floral sponge with water from time to time.
In such an oasis you can stick not only stems of flowers and herbs, but also pine needles... cones... poppy boxes... and others natural materials. And as we see in the photo below, the oasis can be placed on a cut of an ordinary birch log.
Autumn bouquets - from APPLES.
You can make the beautiful bouquet arrangements with apples in the photo below with your own hands.
In order for the apples to stick, you need pin on holders. It could be metal holder- with spread out peaks... insert the holder into the water... prick apples onto the peaks... and fill the gaps with other vegetation.
Or a holder can be replace with sharp knots... sharpen strong thin branches with a knife...prick apples onto the branches...insert them into water under different punctures...and fill the remaining gaps with autumn flowers and leaves.
You can also use SWEET PEPPER FRUITS in a bouquet...
Fruit-bearing VASES - for autumn bouquets.
Citrus and pumpkin crops have a durable, waterproof PEEL. This brings up the idea of using them - AS A VASE.
It is enough just to cut off the top of the fruit... remove the pulp from it... fill it with water and place our autumn bouquet in such a fruit vase.
And even cabbage can become a vase. No, the pump itself will not hold water for long... most likely it will leak. But you can be smarter... make a recess in the rocker... into which to insert a small vase of water.
But the most convenient thing, of course, is pumpkins - such a vase can be used many times... And not only as a vase, but also as a candlestick for autumn evening gatherings with cozy candle lighting.
In addition to the classic round pumpkin, a vase for a bouquet in the fall can serve pathesons, zucchini and decorative pumpkin crops having a bizarre curved shape.
And even decorative pimply fruits - which are not stable - can be placed on their side - and the neck of such a fruit vase can be made - in the side of the fruit. (as in the left photo below).
Or a vase can be made from birch stump... this is of course not a fruit - but also part of the plant world.
Vases with decorative filling for bouquets.
You can use acorns... pine cones... rose hips... apples... beans... cereals... and other bulk natural materials as filling in a vase.
And most importantly... Water should not be poured into the bulk material itself.... otherwise the water will simply darken and all this beauty will simply rot. Better to do the smart thing.
IN wide vase- place narrow vase... so that there is space between the vases. And so we pour water for the bouquet into the inner vase... and pour natural material into the space between it and the outer vase.
Autumn plays with bright colors, pleasing the eye with a rich palette of fallen leaves. It’s a pity that all these different shades can’t compare with the luxurious decoration of summer flower beds. But it turns out that you can make original autumn bouquets with your own hands, very similar to compositions from real roses, which will delight the eye throughout the long winter. This article provides detailed step by step description working with photos.
What are they made of with their own hands?
First of all, stock up on multi-colored ones. Only intact and undamaged ones are suitable for work. To create a lush and beautiful bud, it is best to use freshly picked and large leaves; even slightly dried ones will crumble when bent. The color can be completely different, the main thing is that the quantity of each shade is sufficient. It usually takes six to seven leaves to make one bud. Having gained experience, you can try to use a larger number - up to eight - ten. But then it will be difficult to call the made flower a bud. Such a bouquet of chic big roses will look like a real masterpiece. Especially if the overall composition is decorated with bright bunches of berries: rowan or viburnum. In addition, any other natural material can be useful for decoration. So, be patient and you can get to work.
The procedure for making a bud
An autumn bouquet is made with your own hands in several stages:
1. Folding the middle. Place a large, flat sheet of paper on the table, pointing its tail toward you. Make the first fold across the main vein. Having turned the workpiece 90°, begin to twist it from top to bottom, turning it into a tube.
2. Laying the petals. Having made the middle, begin to form a bud. To do this, select leaves that are approximately the same size, or use larger ones first and then smaller ones. Take the sheet in your hands, pointing it with the tail down, and fold it in half. Attach it to the base of the bud.
Then, bending the top edge outward slightly, begin to wrap the sheet around the middle part so that it is slightly visible.
Lay the remaining layers in the same way, distributing them evenly around the circumference.
3. Securing the bud. Once the flower is fully formed, wrap thin wire or thread around its base. It is very important to pull and tie all the petals tightly so that the bud does not fall apart.
Bouquet decoration
As you can see, making such autumn bouquets with your own hands is quite simple. Each new rose will turn out better and neater than the previous one. Make several of them. A composition of buds of different colors looks very original: red, yellow, orange. Or, when forming flowers, move smoothly from one shade to another. For example, roses with a yellow center and red edges look elegant. If you plan to place the resulting bouquet in a large vase, you need it to be tall enough. To do this, form the stems of the roses by wrapping the center, placing a thin long stick into the base leaf. And then, in the process of decorating the bouquet, wrap the resulting flowers in large ones. The composition will be even more elegant if you decorate it with bunches of rowan or viburnum and sprinkle it with hairspray. Make unique autumn bouquets with your own hands from collected natural materials together with your children. Refresh your usual interior with bright colors!
We can confirm that autumn is the most colorful, poetic and romantic time of year by doing DIY autumn bouquet. It can weave together natural materials, noble flowers and simple dead wood, bright berries and fruits, paper petals, sweets in bright packages. By coloring the rainy and gloomy season in this way, you will bring a little holiday into your everyday life, and several of our master classes will help you with this.
DIY autumn bouquet: photo
The first in our kaleidoscope - DIY autumn bouquet, photo which you see below. It's made with yellow autumn leaves, which you can collect in the park. Medium-sized maple leaves are best suited; in general, try to find them approximately the same, so that the roses that we will twist also turn out to be equal in size.
Formation requires some knowledge of origami techniques. We take the first sheet, place it with the shiny side up, and bend it in half horizontally. It is important not to tear off the petioles of all the leaves; they should be long and flexible. We begin to roll the half into a roll, starting from one side. Since we cannot use any means of fixation when working with leaves, we simply hold the roll with the fingers of our left hand. In the meantime, we fold another leaf in half and also begin to wrap it, but not autonomously, but around the first one, while using our fingers to slightly bend the edges so that the petals of the bud are formed. We wind 4-5 leaves onto one base in the same way, and only at the very end we fix them at the base with a matching thread. Try not to tie the thread too tightly so as not to damage your work material. When you have all the flowers ready, you can tie them to long skewers and place them in a wicker basket, vase, or glass cup. Natural or artificial berries, small flowers, and rose hips will help complement the composition. But still give the central role to roses; they should be the stars of this composition.
However, if your interior requires green, then roses can be made in such an unusual shade for them. To do this, we should go to the park a little early, not at the very golden time, in order to find the material of exactly the color that you need. First, we will form the inflorescences in exactly the same way as in the previous case, but now each of them will need to be wrapped in a poplar leaf for greater decorativeness and secured with threads. We take the first element, apply the second one a little lower to it and tie it at the base, then the third one is already lower than the second one. Try to arrange all the flowers in a checkerboard pattern so that in the end we get something like a spikelet. And, of course, the threads should not be visible from the front side; we cover all the seams with the following roses. Starting from the middle, weave into the composition any decorative branches that can be purchased at a flower shop, this is done to give the bouquet additional splendor. In the example, juniper branches are used; in addition to their decorative properties, they will also bring a wonderful healing aroma into the house. Place the finished work in a small vase or basket; it will look great in the design of a coffee table, hanging from its surface.
DIY autumn bouquet made from leaves
Behind the Components DIY autumn bouquet from leaves, flowers and inspiration, you can go to a park, forest, field, botanical garden. There you will see that it is not for nothing that autumn is so loved and sung by poets; it is at this time that stunning flowers bloom, juicy fruits ripen, and all this is worth reflecting in your works.
There are groups of plants that survive the drying process remarkably well without losing most of their decorative properties. They are commonly called dead wood, and behind this boring name lies enormous potential for the florist. However, professionals are not afraid of difficulties and with the help of several technologies of drying, spraying with varnish, and treating with glycerin, they have learned to preserve for a long time a large number of plants. In such works you can see not only flowers, but also ears of cereals, thorns, rolls of reeds, and cotton bolls. Among the beautiful flowers, we can mention the steppe kermek (popularly called immortelle), purple prickly balls of Echinops, bright, similar to small gerberas, eryngium (you can see it in dried form in the photo), various thorns. Taken together, all these riches will help you create ones that will delight you until next autumn, just don’t forget to collect dust from them.
It is impossible to make and not include rowan berries in it. They have become the same symbols of autumn as falling leaves. Until the frosts they hang on the branches, delighting our eyes. Picking a few bunches will be a useful acquisition both for health (add them to tea or just eat a little) and for beauty. Fashionistas manage to make not only rowan beads, but also entire jewelry sets. And we will use whole bunches as the central element of the composition. Moreover, the same flowers are used again, but the work turns out to be completely special, due to the bright red accent.
This can be done not only for the now traditional photo shoot in the park. You can perfectly decorate the interior of your apartment with it if you place it on the door, on the window ledge or even around the chandelier. Since the craft is made using a frame, you can give it any shape. We will use a woven vine as such a base. It is not necessary to use a thick rope, since our “facing” material is light and does not require a strong base. We braid it very simply - we insert the tails between the twigs of the vine, securing them with threads, wire or staples if necessary. The more closely we weave, the more magnificent the whole work will turn out in the end, so if you plan to create something grandiose, then stock up on raw materials. If, as in our case, you plan to hang the craft, then provide an elegant fastening - a ribbon, a ribbon.
How to make an autumn bouquet with your own hands
You can combine both elegance and adherence to Halloween traditions in one work if you use a small pumpkin as a plant pot. At the same time, you can not only scrape it out from the inside, but also decorate it, cut out patterns on it, cover it with paint or appliqués. Let's see, how to make an autumn bouquet with your own hands from pumpkin and physalis.
First, let's get a medium-sized pumpkin. We cut off its top evenly with a sharp knife, select all the pulp and seeds, and dry it. Now you need to cut out stencils from paper in the form of a month, stars, and spirals. We stick all this onto the surface of the pumpkin using tape, but paint over the rest of the part with blue spray paint. Once the paint has dried, you can tear off the stencils to reveal a bright pumpkin skin underneath. natural color, which will contrast perfectly with the blue background. We place delicate physalis inside the vase, it is also called Chinese lanterns. With just one type of plant, you can make an exquisite decorative decoration.
Bouquets of candy can also be made with an autumn theme at the customer's request; in this case, the decorations use a rich yellow-orange palette, a lot of foil, and glitter. In the photo you see good example similar work that combines orange ribbons, gold-wrapped candies and small beads that look so much like juicy berries.

The secret of the volume of each inflorescence is that quite a lot of layers of ordinary daisies are used, and these layers gradually decrease in diameter. You can attach them to each other using any glue, applying a drop of it to the center of the previous circle. These chrysanthemums can be used to decorate a postcard or decorate a gift wrapped in wrapping paper.
