Options for wreaths made from natural materials

Very cute and attractive head wreaths are made from natural materials. It is very difficult not to pay attention to such an accessory. You can use a variety of materials to make a pretty little thing. It can be multi-colored flowers, and branches, and leaves, and berries - the list is endless.

We will learn how you can make beautiful wreaths from materials that nature itself gave.

Of flowers

The most spectacular and vibrant wreaths on the head are obtained from flowers.

They are often combined in one product with wild herbs.

Plants can have both long and medium-length stems. The main thing is to make sure that the barrel is quite strong for bending, does not break.

The ends can be secured with tape or thread of a suitable color.

It is not recommended to use the wire in this case, since later it will be unpleasant to cling to the girl's hair.

Very beautiful wreaths are obtained from chrysanthemums, gypsophila, roses, cornflowers. The accessory can even be made from a sunflower.

Before you start making your own flower wreath, it is recommended to wear gloves, because you can accidentally cut or scratch yourself on the stems.

In addition, there are many plants that actively secrete juices that remain on the skin in the form of brown or greenish spots. To make a wreath of fresh flowers, you need to follow the step-by-step instructions.

  1. The starting flower must be placed vertically.
  2. The next flower is laid across the first. It is required to ensure that the inflorescences are as close to each other as possible.
  3. The horizontally lying stem must be bent behind the vertical one, after which it should be carefully brought out to the front side immediately in front of the inflorescence.
  4. The listed procedures must be repeated until the required length is reached.
  5. The end of the accessory should be tied neatly but tightly with a thread or a beautiful ribbon.

If the wreath is made for the bride, then it is advisable to use flowers that crumble to a minimum.

If pollen stains a white dress, it will definitely ruin the girl's mood.

From the branches

Charming wreaths are made from twigs. Such homemade products can be used as an original souvenir, an interesting decorative interior detail. If you beautifully decorate a product from twigs, then a wonderful accessory for your head will come out of it.

Willow twigs, as well as birch or grape twigs are best suited for creating such a product. The length of these components can be approximately 80 cm. The number of branches used depends on how much the wreath is planned to be obtained.

If the natural material bends slightly, then the indicators of its flexibility can be slightly improved. To do this, the branches must be soaked in boiling water for 30–40 minutes.

After soaking, the branches will need to be wiped off. Next, taking 2 of them, connecting the thin end of one with the thick end of the second, wrap it in an annular piece of the planned diameter. In this case, one branch should twine around the other. Then you should take the third branch. She will also need to wrap a wreath around. These steps must be repeated until all the prepared materials have been used.

It is advisable to tuck all protruding ends and very small twigs into the product for accuracy.

To prevent the wreath from falling, it must be tied with a rope or thread.

Scotch tape or wire will also work. Further, the homemade product can be decorated in any way.

From the leaves

A chic wreath can be made from autumn leaves. The most beautiful and spectacular homemade product is obtained from maple leaves.

They turn yellow much faster than others, but at the same time are characterized by a stronger structure that remains attractive over time.

Let's take a look at the step-by-step instructions for making a charming wreath from autumn leaves.

  3. Stems of green components can be hidden under leaves, and just cut off all the excess.

From berries

Berries are an attractive decorative ingredient that can be added to a wide variety of homemade wreaths. They can effectively decorate a boring version of branches or a laurel wreath.

Homemade products, woven from lush voluminous leaves, complemented by berries of different sizes, look especially beautiful and elegant.

To beautifully complement almost any type of wreath, the fruits of mountain ash, black blueberries, viburnum are ideal. The fact is that these berries are characterized by high density, they keep their shape very well and do not lose their color for a long time. That is why most often it is the listed fruits that are used in the manufacture of various wreaths from natural materials.

  4. The frame with the fruits should be set aside. Next, you need to weave the wreath itself. Take 2 maple leaves, one stacked on top of the other.
  5. A turn of one leg is made around the other. More leaves are substituted, tied with a thread. You can add more foliage.
