Making bouquets from stationery

The beginning of the school year on September 1 and Teacher's Day are some of the most lucrative events for flower shops, since traditionally, flowers are given to teachers on these holidays. Recently, however, many teachers have asked not to spend money on the road with bouquets, and if desired, it is better to purchase useful items for the class, which include the office. This article looks at how to make bouquets from stationery.

A bouquet of stationery, combining business with pleasure, will be a wonderful gift for a teacher. A present consisting of school supplies will be a smart waste of money from the class fund, as its contents will be used for a long time. The most popular are the following items:

• pens with paste of different colors;
• simple pencils;
• scissors;
• different types of glue;
• erasers;
• a set of sharpeners;
• rulers;
• putty;
• paper clips;
• colour pencils.

In addition, to make a gift you will need:

• wrapping paper;
• tape tape;
• several branches of roses or other flowers for decoration;
• Scotch;
• wooden skewers.

Hand-made gifts are always much more pleasant than purchased ones. After all, it is immediately clear that the donors tried to please their beloved teacher, putting their souls into their craft. In addition, expensive gifts have not been particularly welcomed in schools lately. It is for this reason that a stationery bouquet will be the most optimal choice if you want to please the teacher.

Let's consider several master classes on making stationery bouquets for a teacher with our own hands.

This option is suitable for those who do not want to deviate from the traditional gift of flowers. To facilitate the work, you can initially purchase a ready-made flower bouquet, and then add the office supplies. If you wish, you can assemble it yourself. Take some simple pencils and insert them with the lead down, do the same with colored markers and blue pens. Glue a regular ruler, protractor and triangle back to the skewer with tape and insert them into the bouquet. The notebook will have to be fixed on two or three skewers (depending on the size). Insert glue stick and eraser in the middle.

Another option is close to the classic one, but in this case, a homemade bouquet will delight the teacher all year round, since it will be made from artificial flowers. These can be purchased at any hardware store. Connect several branches together and secure with tape or tape. It is necessary to wrap twigs along the entire length for better fixation in the future. You can add a few autumn leaves for beauty (after all, events still take place in the fall).

Take double-sided tape and wrap it around the base again. For greater stability, you can insert the bouquet into a toilet paper sleeve and fix it, and then wrap it with double-sided tape. Glue crayons or pencils alternately in a circle. At the end, tie the ribbon around the handle and decorate the bow with a decorative element.

A good gift that can be presented to a teacher for any occasion. Hazelnuts made of corrugated paper will serve as decorations here, and inside there will be a surprise in the form of candy or chocolate. Such a present is also suitable for a man.

As a base, you can take a basket or a small cardboard box wrapped in wrapping paper for beauty. Lay the decorative fabric on the bottom so that it protrudes slightly over the edges and put the filler inside.

Let's deal with nuts. The chocolate or candy must be round. Take a strip of brown crepe paper, roll it up on one side, and place the candy on the other. Then fold the halves in half and flatten the paper so that it completely covers the surface of the candy. Tie the resulting ponytail tightly with a ribbon.

Now you need to make the peel. Cut a rectangular piece of green corrugated paper with triangles at one end. Wrap around the nut and secure with tape. You need to make about 15-20 such nuts so that they fill the basket along the edge of the circle.

Take office supplies and tape them onto wooden skewers. Insert each one into the base one by one. In addition to pens, pencils and a ruler, insert colored stickers, putty, marker, notebook.

Drinks containing caffeine are indispensable for any teacher who sometimes has to sit until night to check their notebooks with homework. Coffee or tea will help you cheer up. For this bouquet you will need a standard set of office supplies, a pack of fruit tea, several single packs of coffee, a chocolate bar and a few chocolate bars.

First, you need to fix each item on the skewer with tape. We begin to lay out the back row, alternating the stationery with the packages of coffee, and also fastening the skewers with tape at the base together. The second row will consist of a chocolate bar, a notebook, a pen and two chocolate bars. Repeat the previous procedure with them, and then connect both rows.

Take wrapping paper and wrap the bouquet with it so that there is still a little space in front.A pack of tea and some chocolates with coffee will be inserted here. Secure the package with stationery clips and fasten it at the bottom with beautiful tape.

This craft can be made by the whole class. This will help to quickly cope with the task. Cut out the daisy petals from colorful paper using the template. In the middle, carefully cut a circle to the desired size. Insert office supplies with an eraser so that the latter acts as a core.

A beautiful bowl or a special glass holder for pens and pencils can act as a pot. Fill the inside of the pot with erasers, sharpeners, or candy, and cover the top with green paper cut into strips.

An original monochromatic gift includes: blue pens, pencils and brushes in a glass for stationery. However, the glass must first be filled with sweets, a sponge or newspaper.

After that, cut a small piece of corrugated paper from one edge, wrap it around the lollipops, fix with tape. Wrap the chupa-chups again with packing material and secure with tape.

Place the candies in a glass and add some stationery to the bouquet. For beauty, pencils and pens can also be wrapped in wrapping paper.

Wrap the glass with blue ribbon - the gift is ready. Such a bouquet can be made in any color, the main thing is that all the components match in shade.

If autumn leaves will be used for the bouquet, they should be properly prepared. Collect dry leaves, and when you get home, insert them between the pages of a thick book (this way they will straighten better). It can be ironed, but this will make the material very fragile. It is also better to iron the ribbon for decoration in advance so that the bouquet looks neater.

It is not recommended to use a glue gun, as it fixes everything too tightly: it will be difficult to release stationery without damage.

First, ask the teacher what subjects are needed the most. If it is supposed to use sweets or tea, then it is better to know the tastes of the teacher - he will be much more pleasant.
