DIY bouquets for mom

It is not difficult to make a bouquet with your own hands as a gift for mom for a holiday. Below we present several master classes on creating bouquets from different materials: from paper, napkins and fruits.

A homemade paper bouquet is quite simple to make. Such a craft can subsequently be presented as a birthday present to mom or taken to school for an exhibition.

In order to make a bouquet of paper roses, you will need the following materials:

• colored double-sided paper;
• simple pencil;
• hot glue;
• wire.

Having prepared everything you need, you can get to work.

• Initially, you need to make a template: on a piece of paper, draw a spiral flower with a pencil with wavy lines as it looks in the image. Next, we take scissors and cut out the base for the flower from edge to center, resulting in something similar to a spring. Next, you need to circle this detail on colored paper and cut it out again.
• Now we take a small piece of thin wire - this will be the stem of the rose. We apply hot glue to the edge of the wire, attach a blank for a flower to it and start winding, forming a rose. When you are finished gluing, spread the petals with your fingers to make the flower look more luxuriant.
• The stem of the flower can be left as it is, or you can make it green by wrapping it with floss threads and fixing them with glue. This process is quite long, you need to act carefully, since one awkward movement can ruin the beauty of the craft.

The flower is ready! We make several of these flowers to create a full-fledged bouquet out of them.

Making such a bouquet with your own hands is not as difficult as it might seem. To create a gift you will need:

• the fruits themselves;
• cling film;
• long wooden skewers;
• Scotch;
• scissors;
• wrapping.

Having collected all the necessary materials, you can get to work.

• First of all, the citrus fruit must be cut in half. You don't have to cut everything, some of the fruit can be left intact. We put fruits on skewers, placing them somewhere in the center to maintain balance. We wrap the cut fruits with cling film and fix it with tape - all this will help preserve the appearance of the cut fruits and prevent them from darkening.
• Then it remains only to collect the bouquet. Try to arrange its elements symmetrically: two apples, two oranges, and so on. If desired, such a bouquet can be diversified with herbs and flowers, but this is only at your discretion.
• Having finished assembling the bouquet, tightly connect the skewers with tape. Wrap tightly, otherwise the bouquet may simply fall apart. Cut off too long parts of the skewers with scissors.
• It remains to wrap the bouquet in wrapping paper. This should be done so that the skewers do not stick out. We tie the finished bouquet with a ribbon and tie a bow. Ready!

Making a composition out of napkins is also easy. To do this, you need napkins, a pencil, thread and scissors.

• Fold the napkin into a square and cut along the edge of the napkin "waves", similar to a fringe. To make it easier for yourself, simply sketch out the outlines of these "waves" with a simple pencil, and then use the scissors to cut.
• Unfold the napkin and roll it into a roll, then straighten it as shown in the figure, getting something that looks like a butterfly. Secure the workpiece in this position with threads in the middle.
• Now gently spread the petals with your fingers to fluff the flower. Separately, you can make a flower stalk from skewers so that the flower gains stability.
