Making a wreath of flowers

The tradition of weaving wreaths has existed for a very long time. Products made from fresh flowers served as amulets and decorations. Now wreaths are no longer given that sacred meaning. But such accessories are still popular among girls and women of different ages.

To create such an accessory, you need a minimum amount of materials. The first step is to prepare the flowers themselves. It is best to collect them just before weaving, so that they do not have time to fade. The stems of the flowers should be long, even and neat.

To make the wreath firmly fixed on the head, you can use a bezel for weaving. Most often it is made from thin wire. The same material is used for fixing flower tails.

You can decorate a wreath of flowers with long ribbons of any color you like. They are attached to its base or edges.

In summer and spring, it is best to use fresh flowers for weaving jewelry. Finding suitable plants for work during this time is very easy.

For weaving a wreath, you need to pick up dandelions with long stems. The scheme for creating such a spring accessory consists of the following steps.

1. The first step is to take two flowers with stems of the same length. Their legs must be carefully crossed.
2. One stem must be thrown over the other so that a loop is obtained.
3. Put another dandelion on top. Its tip should be as close to the other two as possible.
4. The stem of this flower also needs to be bent, forming a loop. The same is repeated with the rest of the dandelions. In the process, you need to ensure that all flowers remain at the same level. In this case, the wreath will look neat.
5. When the product is ready, its ends are connected. The place of fixation is tied with a blade of grass or a thin thread.

Even a child can cope with weaving such a wreath.

Fresh wildflowers are often woven for the summer holidays. To create them, you can use both large flowers and smaller ones. Blue or blue cornflowers, St. John's wort and other plants are woven into such a wreath. Ears and wild herbs can also be used to decorate it.

Making wreaths from wildflowers is no more difficult than from dandelions. The first two plants must be intertwined. After that, you can connect the rest of the flowers to them. They are woven in according to the same principle as the previous ones. When the product is ready, the excess stems and blades of grass should be carefully trimmed. But this is not necessary. Bulky and slightly sloppy accessories also look very cute.

To weave a wreath of roses, you will need a solid base made of artificial vine or wire. It is necessary to form a base of a suitable size from it. Roses are attached to such a product with a glue gun. You can use white, pink, red or any other flowers to decorate the wreath. The largest rose is attached to the center of the wreath. After that, smaller flowers are connected to it. You can decorate such a craft with various ribbons.

Another flower that is often used for weaving wreaths is chamomile. Since ancient times, these plants have been considered a symbol of loyalty and family. Therefore, they were very often used to weave voluminous wreaths. You can choose daisies of any size for such jewelry. The product is woven according to the same principle as dandelion decoration. In the process of creating a wreath, it is important to ensure that the flowers do not fall out of the craft.

To make an accessory more voluminous, it can be woven not from individual flowers, but from bouquets. To weave it, in addition to plants, you will also need colored ribbons and scissors. Accessory development consists of several steps.

1. To begin with, you need to weave the base for the wreath from the wire. It should not be too narrow. Otherwise, the wreath will press hard on the head.
2. The frame is wrapped with colored ribbons. Their edges are neatly tied together.
3. Flowers must be divided into bunches. Their edges are tied with a thin thread or fixed with a wire. Too long stems are cut.
4. Small bouquets are attached to the base of the wreath with a ribbon. Their edges should be well camouflaged.
5. When the product is ready, the flowers are straightened. This will make the finished wreath look neater and more attractive.

In addition to fresh flowers, artificial plants can also be used for weaving wreaths with your own hands.

To weave such a decoration, you will need thin wire, flowers of the right size and neat ribbons. Step-by-step instructions will help you get started.

1. To begin with, create a base for a wire wreath. Use 3-4 twigs for weaving. They are intertwined. The ends of the twigs are connected.
2. When the frame is ready, you can start decorating it. Artificial flower branches must be disassembled into separate buds and leaves. A few short twigs are enough to create a beautiful accessory.
3. Flowers and leaves are laid out in front of them on the table to make it clearer in which direction they should be attached. The largest fragments are attached to the front of the wreath. After that, small buds are fixed on the frame. The composition is complemented by leaves fixed between the flowers.
4. You can use thin pieces of wire, thread, or a glue gun to attach the product.
5. When the accessory is ready, its ends are connected together. After that, the free part of the wire is decorated with ribbons and flowers.

The accessory turns out to be attractive and durable.

Accessories made of dried flowers look no less beautiful. It is recommended to make blanks for such wreaths in advance. Flowers for crafts can be hung dry, in a box of hot sand, or in the oven.

The process of creating a wreath of dried peonies consists of several stages.

1. First you need to prepare the frame. A circle made of branches or strong wire is used as a basis for such decoration.
2. With the help of nippers or sharp scissors, the buds are separated from the stems. The number of colors that are used to create jewelry depends on their size.
3. Each of the buds is neatly attached to the base with a small piece of wire. If peonies of different colors are used to decorate the wreath, they need to be alternated.
4. It is worth completing the composition of voluminous buds with small flowers and green leaves.
5. When the work is finished, the edges of the wreath must be carefully fastened together.

Products made from paper flowers are also beautiful. Blanks for such jewelry are made in advance from corrugated or plain paper. A big plus of all accessories made of artificial flowers is that they serve for a very long time and do not lose their attractiveness over time.

Before you start weaving a wreath of fresh flowers, you need to know in advance everything about creating such accessories.

1. If an ornament from natural flowers is woven for a long event, you need to properly prepare for its creation. The easiest way to extend the life of your flowers is to refrigerate them for a while. It will help protect the wreath from wilting and treat it with a special spray. You can buy one at a regular florist store.
2. You should not choose plants for such a craft that actively emit pollen. This will damage the outfit.
3. To prevent the wreath from falling off during dances and active games, you should take care of additional ways of attaching it. A beautiful headband can be fixed on the head with ribbons that are tied at the back of the head.
4. To create wedding wreaths, you should use accessories made of small light colors. They are complemented by thin satin ribbons.

The flower arrangement needs to be thought out in advance. When choosing plants for a wreath, you should pay attention to their color, the size of the buds and the style of the event for which this accessory is made.

You can use ready-made examples of crafts as sources of inspiration for weaving wreaths.

• A bouquet of sunflowers. Sunflower products look luxurious and voluminous. This flower is considered the strongest of all. He is a symbol of strength, success and wealth. Flowers can be used together with leaves to create original bouquets. In this case, the wreath will look more voluminous.

• Autumn wreath of chrysanthemums. Burgundy chrysanthemums are one of the most popular autumn colors. Wreaths made of them turn out to be unusual, but at the same time charming. Flowers with long stems are used for weaving ornaments.

• Poppy accessory. Bright wreaths of poppies are fragile. Weaving such crafts is difficult, but the result is definitely worth it. Most often, voluminous poppy accessories are complemented with small white or yellow flowers.

A flower wreath is a unique feminine decoration that can be used both for creating a festive look and for a photo shoot. An accessory woven with your own hands will help emphasize the beauty of any girl and draw everyone's attention to her.
