- scissors.
To create a composition, take bright autumn flowers: dahlias, asters, chrysanthemums. If you have your own garden or summer cottage, buying flowers is optional. Delicate and fragrant garden marigolds, amaranths and levkoi are charming with their sincere simplicity. Physalis and statice can be added to the work.
Progress.
- Cut the plants with a knife at an angle of 45 degrees and place them in the water.
- Collect water in a deep container and put an oasis in it. You cannot drown it with your hands. The oasis must submerge itself in the water in order to soak well.
- Place cellophane on the bottom of the basket so that the water from the sponge does not wet the basket.
- Remove the oasis from the water, shape it with a knife. Then wrap in plastic, leaving the top open, and secure in the basket.
- We begin to assemble the composition with large elements, and then move on to small ones. Accents in the bouquet will be zinnias, dahlias, viburnum twigs. Chrysanthemums and greens will help fill the space between them.
- Pay attention to the edges of the composition. Decorate them with greenery so that the oasis and cellophane do not appear.
You can collect a flower arrangement not only for school. Your bouquet will be a touching gift for your friend's wedding, for Victory Day, for a veteran, for a birthday party.
Origami
Paper floristry is a hobby that develops taste, sense of style and fine motor skills. Children can create their first crafts in kindergarten from corrugated paper. Flowers made from it look as if they were alive. It is a pleasure to receive works of children as a gift to beloved parents and educators.
An affordable master class will help you create delicious paper hyacinths. You can present a bouquet on March 8 or for a birthday to your mother, sister, grandmother and friend.
To work you will need:
- corrugated paper of pink, white, lilac and green colors with a density of 140 or 180 g / m2;
- wooden skewers;
- scissors;
- thermal gun;
- satin ribbon 3-5 cm wide;
- Scotch.
Let's start creating flowers.
- We cut corrugated paper along the width of the entire roll (50 cm) into strips 7 cm high. This is one and a half divisions of corrugated paper.
- Fold the strip in half and divide it into two parts for convenience. We fold each of them several times, then cut the fringe with scissors from one edge. These will be the petals of the flower.
- We take our fringe, and carefully wind each clove on a skewer - we curl it. Take your time to avoid tearing the paper.
- We twist the strips strictly in one direction, and we get pretty curls.
- Take a skewer, and starting from its sharp end we wind the workpiece onto it, pulling it slightly with our fingers.
- To prevent the curls from slipping, do not forget to glue the paper to the skewer with hot glue.
- The first flower is almost ready. It remains to make him a green stem. Cut off a strip of green paper no more than 1 cm across the width of the roll. We divide it into 3 parts.
- We fix the edge of one of the green stripes with glue to the skewer, then rotate it and slightly pull it, wrap it tightly with paper. Cut off the excess and glue the remaining end of the paper tape with hot glue to the stick.
- We create the leaves. Cut off rectangles 10 cm high and 2 cm wide. Cut out oblong leaves with sharp edges from them. We glue two leaves to the flower, first stretching them slightly with your fingers to give a natural shape.
- The hyacinth is ready. We do the same for the rest of the flowers.
- We collect hyacinths in a bouquet, fix with tape so that it does not disintegrate.
- Tie the flowers over the tape with a ribbon, tie a bow.
A wonderful bouquet is ready.

Starting from the edging of onion rings, insert them into the bouquet slightly at an angle, fixing the last chip with a toothpick, like a support, placing it in the base at an angle.
