We make bouquets from scrap materials with our own hands

In order to make a beautiful and original bouquet for a gift, you can use a variety of materials and accessories. There are many ideas for creating these decorative products. Today we will talk about how to make a bouquet with your own hands from various improvised means.

Such products from disposable tableware will look unusual. In this case, we need the following things:

• disposable spoons (five for one bud);
• metal wire;
• glue gun;
• ceramic vase;
• corrugated paper;
• green insulating tape;

When you have prepared everything you need, you can start making the bouquet.

• First, rectangles are cut out of corrugated paper of a suitable color, and they must be large enough to completely wrap a plastic spoon.
• Further, all the spoons are wrapped with made paper blanks, all this is fixed with the help of an adhesive composition. After that, separately, they begin to fasten two or three parts, as a result, a flower bud should form.
• Then a thin metal wire is attached to the bud, it is wrapped with green electrical tape or paper of the same color.
• At the same time, they begin to create sheet plates, they can also be easily cut out of corrugated paper, often ready-made templates are used for this. The resulting parts are attached to the stem of the flower, in this form, everything is fixed in a vase.

To create such a composition, you should also first prepare all the necessary tools and materials:

• threads;
• scissors;
• napkins of different colors;

One napkin is taken in its original folded state, a zigzag edge is made in its lower part. The same is done with other materials, but at the same time they should be slightly smaller in size compared to the first blank. After that, the finished parts are carefully unfolded. Napkins are folded in the form of an accordion, the central part of the composition is tied with threads. Several colors are made in this way. At the final stage, all the petals are carefully straightened... Leaves and stem should be cut separately. The latter can be done using wire and electrical tape, as in the previous version.

In order to independently create this decorative bouquet, the following elements are prepared in advance:

• thin metal wire;
• buttons of various colors and sizes;
• tulle;
• floristic tape;
• pliers;
• decorative details (beads, beads);

First, you will need to take the wire and cut it into strips with a length twice as long as the size of future flowers. It is also better to sort all the buttons by size in advance. Further, several small "pyramids" of them are assembled, ranging from large to small ones. Later, the buttons are gradually put on the wire, intertwining its halves and forming a bright bouquet at the same time. All this is tied with a satin ribbon; if you wish, you can dilute the composition with the help of various additional decorative elements.

There are other options for making such bouquets.

From baking dishes.

• In this case, shapes of different bright colors are taken, their base is carefully coated with glue and finely chopped multi-colored paper is fixed there. You can also sprinkle all of this with small colorful glitter.
• Next, you need to take one sheet of green paper and cut it into rectangular elements (width about 4 cm, length ≈ 20 cm). The resulting workpiece is folded in half, smeared with glue at the fold, and in this form everything is fixed on a paper mold. Do the same with all the remaining parts.
• Ready-made flower buds are neatly laid out in a pot or in a vase.

From wire and thread floss.

• In this case, an element in the form of a small spring is formed from a thin wire: for this, it should be wound on an elongated rounded object, you can use a rod or knitting needle.
• After that, from the spring made earlier, they begin to make small petals and leaf blades of the future flower.
• Next, threads of different colors are wound on the formed frame.
• All manufactured elements are combined into one flower.

Made from wire base and nail polish.

• To begin with, a frame for the future product is made from metal wire.
• After that, a suitable varnish is selected. It is recommended to use only a fresh composition with a more liquid consistency so that it can drain freely from the brush.
• The substance is applied to the edges of flower petals made of wire.
• After the initial drying, it is better to apply another layer, you can also cover it all with a transparent varnish with fine sparkles.
• The stem is also formed from a wire base.
• To prevent the coloring composition from flowing to one side, the stem should be fixed in an upright position in the sponge.

Bouquet using ganutel technique.

• First, a strong wire is taken, it is wound on a knitting needle or rod in such a way that all the spirals are placed close enough to each other.
• After that, the resulting spiral is slightly stretched to increase its length.
• Next, another piece of the metal base is taken - its length should be about 17-20 centimeters - and threaded into the first workpiece. Then you need to twist her tails and give the details the shape of a flower petal.
• Take a thread of any color you like - it is attached at the base of the finished petal. The thread is led to the central part and begins to wind the workpiece counterclockwise, placing it between each separate turn. At the end, the thread is also attached at the base. The same actions are done with the rest of the petals.
• To make the leaves, a green wire is used, it is also pulled on a rod or knitting needle, and then stretched.
• Prepare a thread of the same color in advance, it is attached at the base of the sheet and the workpiece is wrapped in turns. Having reached the central part, it is taken to the base, thus making a vein.
• It is recommended to walk around the edges of leaves and petals with glue so that everything is securely fixed.
• At the final stage, the flower is assembled: first, all the petals are collected, while the wire is twisted together, and then the leaves are attached. The stem should be wrapped with a special floral tape.
