Autumn ekibana made of natural material fits perfectly into absolutely any interior in the house. If you create an ekibana in the fall, also with your own hands, it will fill any room with a special atmosphere and become the highlight of your home.
The most pressing topic of creating an ekibana with your own hands becomes in the fall. Why, you ask? And all because at this time of year the number of fresh flowers for home arrangements becomes less and less, and the desire to diversify the interior of the room with floral motifs does not depend on the time of year outside the window. However, this does not mean that it is impossible to find another natural material for creating autumn ekibana! An incredible amount of diverse, unusual and colorful components can be found in autumn nature (various cones, tree fruits, autumn leaves, acorns, rowan berries and much more). A composition made from such natural materials has its own advantages: it is more stable and durable than a craft made from fresh flowers.
It’s worth thinking about creating an autumn-themed ekibana quickly and easily with your own hands in advance. Start collecting suitable materials for crafts at the very beginning of the autumn season, as many plants quickly bloom and disappear from nature. Choose the warmest and most pleasant autumn day and take a walk through parks and forests. At the autumn plant ball you will find a huge variety of leaves, see a riot of colors and be able to choose the natural material you like to create an ekibana. Choose the materials you like most. Collect all the most interesting things and you will definitely find a use for them in the future.
Making ekibana about autumn with your own hands in a master class
In any case, it is very important to properly prepare the source material. In order for the ekibana of autumn leaves to look beautiful, you need to choose only whole and healthy leaves. You need to dry the leaves between the pages of a book or album, pressing them down with a weight. This must be done in order to avoid curling of the leaves in the future. Autumn leaves prepared in this way are used for children's applications, leaf collages, and also for herbariums.
If there is a need to make a volumetric composition, autumn leaves are soaked for three to four days in a solution of glycerin (200 ml) and cold water (400 ml). When treated with this method, autumn leaves become flexible, pliable and do not lose their original beautiful appearance.
Flat crafts.There are four ways to dry leaves for flat crafts:
- Natural method. The collected natural materials are tied into bundles and hung on a thread in a dry, well-ventilated area.
- Hot iron drying. Autumn leaves are laid out on thick cardboard, thin paper is placed on top and carefully ironed with a hot iron. It is necessary to iron until the moisture from the leaves has completely evaporated.
- Volumetric drying. With this method, autumn flowers best retain their shape and volume. The flower is cut and placed in dried and calcined sand for one month.
- Oven drying method. It is necessary to set the oven at a very low temperature, about 60 degrees Celsius. The prepared natural raw materials are laid out on a base and slowly dried. You should always monitor the condition of the leaves and flowers to prevent them from darkening or losing their shape.
Autumn ekibana can be decorated in a decorative vase, basket or artificial stand. You can approach this issue very creatively and creatively: use a pumpkin or a small hollowed out log instead of a vase.
The process of creating an autumn ekibana depends entirely on your imagination and desire. You can add unusual, varied elements to your composition. However, before you make an ekibana, you need to know that the primary task is to form the base or “backbone” of the composition. It needs to be thought through immediately. This will allow you not to forget what result you are striving for, what your initial compositional idea was. After this, you can completely surrender to creative impulses and ideas: add dried flowers, cones, berries, acorns, roots and leaves. The most important thing is that the final result looks harmonious and that all the constituent elements of the composition are combined with each other.
If you want to create an autumn ekibana with your own hands, on the Internet you will find many photos with various design ideas.
To secure the autumn composition, it is best to use plasticine or foam rubber, which must be placed in the selected container.
As you can see, a DIY autumn-themed ekibana will be a great addition to the interior of your home. Start creating it with your children. For children, schoolchildren and even adults, this activity will be fun and exciting.
Video on the topic of the article
Ekibana is the ancient Japanese art of intelligently arranging natural materials. Although initially it was used exclusively for sacred purposes, over time the religious aspect ceased to be of great importance. Today, ekibana is a great way to decorate a home and add some new touch to it. And it doesn’t have to be exactly oriental motifs, because this art has gained popularity all over the world and there is an incredible number of schools and methods that will help you with your choice. This is especially true for autumn Ekibana. Why? The answer is simple. After all, it is in the fall that there are fewer and fewer fresh flowers and making bouquets to decorate the house becomes more problematic. At the same time, an incredible amount of other natural material appears (dry leaves of amazing colors, acorns, chestnuts, pine cones, tree fruits, dry grass, etc.) which can be perfectly used for making natural autumn compositions. In addition, such material is much more practical because it does not succumb so quickly to the destructive influence of time and will be able to please you for many months. It is better to start preparing for the production of autumn ekibana in advance at the beginning of autumn. After all, autumn weather is so fickle and unexpected rains or frosts in the middle of October can ruin all your plans. Therefore, it’s better to take a short walk in the nearby forest on a beautiful September day and collect everything that may be useful in making your masterpiece. These can be dry leaves, the last autumn flowers, tree bark, fruits, dry grass and in general anything that seems original to you. When you have already collected a sufficient amount of material, it is important to prepare it correctly. Leaves and flowers need to be dried. You can do this by hanging them upside down in a dry, dark place. If you want the color to be brighter, you need to leave your material in glycerin diluted with water 2 to 1. You can also spray twigs, dry grass and other materials with hairspray (possibly with glitter). After this they will look even brighter. For the shape of the autumn ekibana, you can use a tall narrow or wide vase. Or, more original, artificial coasters. A cut of a tree or a pumpkin is perfect for these purposes. To attach the parts of the autumn ekibana to each other, use wet sand, ceramic drainage, and polystyrene foam. Heavy branches are best secured using a gypsum solution. You can also make holes in a piece of wood using a thin drill and fill them with putty, but be sure to match the main color. In general, the process of making autumn ekibana completely depends on your imagination and capabilities. The only requirement before starting work is the formation of the main “backbone” of the composition. Think it over from the very beginning in order to approximately understand what result in form you are striving for. Next, you can completely leave your creation to creative flight. Add small leaves and roots, already prepared dried flowers or twigs coated with varnish - do whatever you want. The main thing is that the end result looks harmonious and that the colors you use combine perfectly. If you want the autumn ekibana to look even more original and go beyond the generally accepted canons, do the following. Stick dried flowers and leaves into orange or grapefruit peels. This will give your composition some tropical shades against the backdrop of the delightful Russian nature. Also, actively use soft and flexible branches for connection; willow ones are perfect; they will help you combine all the elements of the autumn ekibana so that they look more organic. Thus, autumn ekibana is a great way to decorate your home and workplace for a long time. This is also a wonderful way to express your creativity, because the manufacturing process requires a fair share of extraordinary solutions. Imagine, create, create something out of the ordinary and let your loved ones be proud and enjoy your masterpieces!

Good afternoon - we continue theme of autumn crafts for interior decoration. And today we will talk about compositions and lamps from pumpkin... about elegant flower and fruit compositions with wicker baskets... about how you can make beautiful autumn ones with your own hands sprinkles in transparent vases... and I’ll give you a large selection of compositions with candles and candlesticks decorated in autumn style. In short, there will be many interesting interior ideas for creating an autumn atmosphere in the house, for decorating a wedding in the fall.
Autumn compositions - crafts with PUMPKINS.
Pumpkin is, one might say, a SYMBOL OF AUTUMN. And pumpkin crafts for interior decoration can be very different. You can cover a white pumpkin with yellow autumn leaves (if they don’t stick well to PVA glue... you can plant them on acrylic varnish)... Or you can stick the leaves on - and just apply paint on them - and apply it to the side of the pumpkin AS A STAMP... and it will remain on the pumpkin skin sheet imprint.
Or you can make a PUMPKIN CARVING. To do this, you need to... attach an autumn leaf to the pumpkin - trace the outline with a pencil... then cut out the outline with a knife - and peel off the skin inside the outline - you will get a beautiful CARVED PATTERN on the pumpkin (as in the left photo below).
You can put several pumpkins on the table and braid them with branches of a berry bush...
Or you can make beautiful LAMPS from pumpkins. To do this... you need to cut off the lower part (bottom) of the pumpkin... cut through this cut and remove all the pumpkin pulp - so that only the walls remain.
Then we need cut round holes– for it to turn out well – it’s best to use metal tubes with thin sharp walls and a hammer. We apply the cut of such a metal pipe to the side of the pumpkin from the INSIDE - (that is, we put the tube inside the pumpkin... and the pumpkin should lie on the side that we are going to pierce). And so we apply an iron tube to the side - and hit it with a hammer (or press hard) - and the sharp edges of the tube perforate the pumpkin side (just like a cookie cutter perforates the rolled out dough).
You can choose the patterns at your discretion... if you take tubes of different diameters, you will get holes of different sizes.
If you have miniature decorative pumpkins growing in your garden beds, then you can use them to make a beautiful wreath arrangement with asters cones and bright ribbons (as in the photo below).
If the pumpkin doesn't have a convenient tail to tie a ribbon on– then you can drive a construction dowel with a metal eye into the pumpkin... or just a long nail bent into a loop
To get such a bent nail- you must first hammer it 1 centimeter into the board - and then hit it with a hammer at a crooked angle - so that the nail bends - and then remove it from the board and hammer it at an angle into the pumpkin - and you will get a metal grip for tying a ribbon.
MORE YOU CAN DO HERE such a wreath from small pumpkins and patisons (photo below).
For such a wreath you need metal rim(quite strong) – to the rim for volume you can screw dry branches in a circle- wrapping them with wire.
And then use the same wire to attach the pumpkins. For this each fruit must be holed - from one side with a through hole (like a button)– so that there is an entry hole for the wire and 3-7 cm from it an exit hole for the wire.
To get such an “underground passage” you just need make a hole in the pumpkin with a bent nail... a nail bent in the form of an arch will go into the pumpkin and will come out immediately next to the entrance hole. And we will get an EYE like a button. We will thread a wire into this eye, and the pumpkin will be strung on it like a mushroom - and it can be tied to the wreath base.
Autumn compositions - IN BASKETS.
Ordinary wicker baskets can also participate in the creation of autumn interior crafts.
Inside the basket you can make an AUTUMN BOUQUET. Buy “oasis” at a florist shop (this is a material similar to green spongy plasticine) - you stick flowers into it and they will not fade for weeks, feeding on moisture from this “oasis sponge”.
Or you can do DRY compositions autumn floristry in a basket - or even take three baskets of different sizes and make a beautiful autumn pyramid out of them from pine cones, rose hips, dry ornamental herbs, velvet sage leaves and pine twigs.
If your basket is old and shabby, and the oak tree next door is actively bearing fruit, then you can collect acorns... arm yourself with a glue gun(sold in hardware stores for 3 or 5 dollars) and pave the entire basket, paste over the bodies and caps of acorns. You will get a beautiful autumn craft like in the photo below.
GIFTS OF AUTUMN IN A DISH - like interior compositions.
Or you can not be too tricky and just make a fruit and leafy display in a beautiful bowl. Pumpkins for shine rub with paraffin(smear it with a candle) and then polish with a dry cloth to a glossy shine...
Bright persimmon fruits and silver velvet leaves of garden wormwood...or other plants have the same velvety gray leaves - for example chistets, cineraria– they look very beautiful in dry autumn bouquets and compositions.
Or you can make the dish itself for the fruit composition from cut (in half horizontally) pumpkin.
You can make an autumn arrangement from small pumpkins, garden flowers and seed umbels of plants.
But you can think even more interestingly... and create a small a masterpiece of fruit creativity... Glue rhinestones onto ordinary ruddy pears (ordinary adhesive rhinestones that are sold in stalls... they already have a sticky surface on the back and are easy and quick to stick. By the way, this table decoration looks good for decorating an outdoor wedding.
Artistic compositions – from natural and plant materials.
You can make beautiful ones autumn ekibans from stones, dry driftwood and flowers.
You can make a real autumn composition from a carved pumpkin... with a birch stump and a toy deer. Place it on the coffee table and let it please the eyes of you and your children... Let them play with this cozy pumpkin house... This is such a great childhood pleasure. And by the way, the children themselves can take part in making such a composition from a hollow pumpkin - let them decide for themselves how to arrange the house
You can also buy it in a gift shop small decorative birds... They are made from papier-mâché and feathers - they look like real ones. And make a beautiful composition of autumn leaves, berries and birds sitting on a perch. Children will be happy to take part in such a craft. I described in great detail and step by step how to make such a bird corner with your own hands and with your children’s hands in the article. “AUTUMN CRAFTS for children (for school and kindergarten) – 15 best master classes”
And next to it you can put a beautiful composition with a birdhouse on an aged coffee table... an autumn bouquet of autumn twigs and a beautiful dry vine.
Or you can make autumn ekibana - beautiful on a platter Lay out rows of dry herbs, branches, rosebuds, apples, and perennial inflorescences. To keep rose buds fresh for a long time, they can be stuck into pieces of a spongy “oasis” soaked in water.
AUTUMN LAYINGS – made from natural materials for table decoration.
Or you can make bulk ekibans... we take several transparent vessels and pour different natural materials into each of them... chestnuts, acorns, grain stalks. There are some places where you can insert candles.
Rose hips and poppy pods look beautiful... especially if sprinkled with dried perennial flowers.
It’s also beautiful if you surround the glass with carved autumn leaves and tie it with twine.
The size of the overall composition depends on your plan and the amount of natural materials and suitable glass containers.
Or you can simply make a small cozy table setting - with autumn branches... and a sprinkle of pine cones in a vase... beautiful bunches of leaves and candles to match the overall composition. A wonderful autumn still life that just begs to be painted.
Here is an example of pouring autumn bouquets of flowers and herbs into small containers.

Olga Klishevskaya, specifically for the site
Greetings! Today I have selected a lot of ideas for you on the theme “Autumn”. More precisely, we will figure out how to make autumn bouquets with our own hands. With the start of classes in schools and kindergartens, parents are often puzzled by what needs to be done. I think that if you have fruits, leaves and dried flowers, it is easiest to create a composition of flowers.
And they also turn out so beautiful that they are suitable as a gift for a ball, for Teacher’s Day and for the autumn holiday itself.
And to make it easier for parents, I decided to make a selection where I collected the most interesting ideas for bouquets using everything that is at hand: from paper to twigs and seeds. There will be simple ideas and more complex ones for those who feel a creative touch and want to create a masterpiece.
One of the most accessible autumn materials is leaves. They have already turned red and yellow. They are collected into beautiful compositions, used as a basis for bouquets, or simply placed in a vase without embellishment.
And we can make a rose out of them. And then make a bouquet from such roses and buds. This is not very difficult to do and for 1 rose you will need 5-7 leaves. This depends on the level of openness of your flower.
It is important to take those leaves that still bend easily and do not break. Unfortunately, nothing will come of dry things.
By the way, take them in so that there is a long tail at the base. It will help you hold the workpiece comfortably and tying a “rose” with it will also be easier.
So let's take:
- 5-7 leaves,
- threads
Let's start by choosing the smallest leaf available. Fold it in half horizontally.
And twist it into a tube. This is what we got in the middle.
Hold the middle with one hand. And the second one folds the next sheet horizontally again. We wrap it around the middle. We don't tighten it too much.
We wrap this way until we run out of leaves. Not all of them can be used if you want to make a bud.
We open the “petals” and tie all the tails with thread. To make it more convenient, ask your family for help.
This is how the blanks turned out. They can already make a bouquet.
I think that any schoolchild will be able to repeat these simple steps and create a bouquet of “roses” on their own.
Now let's compose the composition. After all, in floristry, not a single bouquet is made without it. The idea always comes first.
You can combine such roses with fresh flowers, dried flowers or rowan.
The main thing is that there are no empty spaces in the bouquet, otherwise there will be a feeling of incompleteness. Here is an example with the addition of regular leaves. After all, they are also beautiful in themselves.
And here the flowers lie on a beautiful background and the middle is highlighted with a bright accent.
If you try, you can make roses of different shades that will look very realistic in a bouquet.
It’s not a shame to give such beauty at the Autumn Ball or on Teacher’s Day.
It is very beautiful when leaves of different colors and shapes are combined. Nevertheless, our autumn is very diverse and plays with all the colors of the rainbow.
Another idea is to use green plant branches.
I really liked how the leaves were beautifully wrapped in a tube in this photo. This immediately highlights the composition and makes it individual.
Here, in a composition with autumn fresh flowers, the leaves also actively attract attention. Agree, it turned out very original.
Another small composition on the theme “Autumn”. Very cute and beautiful idea with an apple.
Just go to a park or a forest and you can immediately collect a whole bag of material. Branches of birch, maple, rowan, apple tree - anything will suit us. 
A variant of an autumn tree in the form. It can also replace a bouquet. All the gifts of the trees are used: from leaves to berries and cones.
You don’t have to fold the leaves, but simply collect them beautifully and tie them with a ribbon. You can maintain the color style. For example, take only green or only red leaves.
But you can use the branches themselves! Look how self-sufficient they look.
I think that any mother would be happy to help her child create such compositions. And collecting leaves together in the woods during a walk will only bring the family closer together.
Autumn bouquets of vegetables and fruits
You can use autumn fruits. Bouquets with them are also very popular now and look quite unusual.
For creativity you need to choose beautiful, small fruits. No dark spots or wrinkled sides.
Let's begin to consider possible options for compositions of fruits and berries. And then we’ll smoothly move on to vegetables.
Here is an idea with tangerines and rowan berries. Fruits are strung on skewers for kebabs. For strength, they are fixed with tape or special floral tape.
Here you can see that the apples are strung on skewers. They combine beautifully with asters and rowan and bird cherry. My parents made a very original stand from birch bark.
Apples go well with any leaves and berries.
Here the emphasis is on rowan. Twigs of coniferous trees add splendor to the composition.
These bouquets are made to order. Here it is important to firmly connect all the workpieces together.
I was captivated by the idea of painting fruits. For example, such “golden” apples look very expensive. You won’t immediately realize that they are real!
Variations with fruits, cones and berries in a pumpkin. A little later I’ll show you how you can use this vegetable.
You can put the composition not in a pumpkin, but in a zucchini.
Apples go well with the “roses” we made earlier.
Step-by-step video about making fruit compositions.
Now I’ll show you options for bouquets with vegetables. You may not collect all types. And turn on the designer’s imagination and use only two types - pepper and garlic. Look what came of it.
Small fruits make cute arrangements.
The entire space between the vegetables, where the joints could be visible, was covered with rowan berries.
By sticking to a certain color scheme, you can create a very stylish bouquet. For example, using cabbage and succulents. After all, autumn can be different.
In this photo, I was captivated by the background of rolled leaves. The composition is clearly visible here. The highlight is in the form of earrings that fall down under their own weight.
Look how beautiful the idea of painting the ears looks. Very bright and lively.
Now let's move on to the very common idea of using a pumpkin as a vase for flowers and herbs.
Bouquets with pumpkin
It is convenient to place bouquets in a pumpkin. But in order for them to stand and not wilt longer, all plants need water. How to place it in this large vegetable?
There are three most convenient options: using a floral sponge, using a tin can, or combining both of these options.
So, take out the middle with the seeds from the pumpkin. They can be dried and used for appliqués and panels. Below we will talk about this.
And put a floral sponge inside. It is sold in many flower shops, as well as in creativity departments.
Then you water it with water and insert flowers. Most often, this option is necessary when you create a bouquet of fresh flowers. The sponge also helps keep the shape of the composition when the stems are stuck into it.
You can also put a tin can inside. In this case, there is no need to remove all the pulp. The main thing is that the jar is not visible. We use canned pineapple containers. You can also pour water into it, but you don’t have to do this if you are using dried flowers.
For these purposes, it is better to take a wide pumpkin.
Instead of a jar, you can use a glass. Its top side indicates the diameter that needs to be cut to fit the glass. For fresh flowers, put a floral sponge inside and saturate it with moisture.
Ideas for compositions in a pumpkin are in front of you.
A vegetable vase can be decorated with ribbons or braid. 
There are only fresh flowers here.
And here we see the use of spruce branches, bunches of bird cherry and rowan. 
The whole composition is on the theme “Autumn”. 
This craft will appeal to both schoolchildren and children in the older group of kindergarten.
The main thing is not to be afraid to use the materials that are at hand. Making a bouquet is a very entertaining and creative process.
How to make paper compositions on the theme “Golden Autumn”
There is an idea to make autumn bouquets from paper. Initially, flowers are prepared from which the composition is created.
It turns out very beautifully when using the origami technique.
Interspersed with .
Let's add leaves in autumn shades to them.
This master class describes the detailed process of creating leaves.
Coat the ends of the accordion-folded sheet with glue and connect.
Maple leaves can also be made using the origami technique.
Here is a detailed master class. 
If it’s not clear from the photo, I’ll attach a video.
Everything is described in detail here. I think that using the video you can definitely create a craft by repeating all the steps step by step.
Master classes and ideas from natural materials for kindergarten
For small children you need something simpler. Therefore, I suggest using natural material for bouquets. We will look at ideas from pine cones, peanut and pistachio shells, pumpkin seeds, and dried flowers.
From the cones
It turns out that cones are very similar to flowers. Especially if you put unopened things in water. They become saturated with moisture and open up. My child, when he saw these metamorphoses, was simply delighted.
The cones can also be attached to skewers, sushi sticks or toothpicks. To create a round composition, use round floral foam balls. I made them from regular polyurethane foam.
They come in different diameters. All kinds of plants and materials are stuck into them. You can use both fresh flowers and branches, and any other materials.
A beautiful bouquet when the pine cones are turned with their tips facing forward. It turns out to be a very neat composition. The tips themselves are decorated with beads, ribbons, rhinestones and flowers. They stick well with hot glue.
How do you like this autumn composition? I think it's very original.
The cone also lends itself well to painting. They can be painted with gouache or spray paints. The intensity of the color depends on the number of layers.
dense gouache can also cover up the natural brown tint of the buds.
If you remove the inner branches, the flowers will turn out more open.
Or you can take just one thing and make it the center of the composition.
Another idea from the gifts of the forest. Everything that lies near the trunks and under our feet is used.
Agree, pine cones are an excellent material for creating an autumn bouquet for children in kindergarten.
From pumpkin seeds
Pumpkin seeds can also be used as flower petals.
There are two options for buds. The first is to glue the seeds on paper in several rows. Here is a detailed master class.
The middle can be painted or covered with a piece of colored cotton wool.
You can make daisies like this using plasticine.
Or flowers like this.
Let's take a closer look at how this is done. Rows of pumpkin seeds are inserted into a plasticine ball. You can form different buds and inflorescence options.
Also very interesting, don’t you agree?
From peanut shells
We rarely buy peanuts, but we often pick up shells from friends after men's get-togethers. To make such bouquets for teachers once a year in kindergarten.
You can get whole “hydrangeas” from pistachios.
It is convenient to attach them to plasticine.
It will be easy for children to make these daisies. Younger children can insert petals from the shell into plasticine. And the older ones connect them with hot glue.
Using floral balls (I wrote about them a little higher), you can create the correct spherical shape of a sunflower. Look how organic the coffee beans look. After all, these are all the gifts of autumn.
Whole pistachios and peanuts can be given as gifts. To do this, put them into little bags and decorate them with corrugated paper.
With walnuts
Of course, we won’t ignore walnuts. You can make an autumn topiary from the shells.
Walnut bouquets with whole fruits look very presentable.
You can cover the voids with pieces of napkins.
For fun, you can combine all of the listed natural materials and fruits.
From dried flowers
Dried flowers fit our fall theme very well. They look noble and can be painted. They will complement any composition.
Anything will do - dry herbs, grains, leaves.
And here the spikelets were painted. 
Cotton flowers make the composition very delicate and airy.
A beautiful bouquet of dried flowers in a stand decorated with branches.
More ideas for you.
An interesting frame for a bouquet of branches.
Mix dried flowers and rose leaves.
Golden ears have a very presentable appearance. But you’ll have to go a long way to get the material – to the field. Look for wheat that has not yet been harvested. 
Dry grass and leaves combine harmoniously.
I just loved many of the ideas.
Applications with flowers on the theme of autumn in the middle group
For the older group, you can offer ideas for applications or panels. They are made from leaves, dried flowers, cereals and seeds.
An idea with a vase with twigs inserted into it. Only the side edges and bottom are glued. The top is left free to allow material to be inserted.
Use a box of chocolates as a base and frame for the panel.
Leaves, pine cones and coffee beans create such an autumn bouquet.
Different types of pumpkin seed flowers for applique.
Use pine branches.
All bones, seeds and grains stick well to hot glue.
Leaves and flowers made from paper are no worse than natural materials.
You can also take a regular frame for the base.
You can make simpler applications in the form of bouquets, or you can make them more complex.
Autumn ideas for bouquets of candies and corrugated paper
Flowers made from corrugated paper look incredibly realistic and beautiful. For Teacher's Day, there is an idea for a small bouquet of sweets.
Or such a gift idea.
Flowers for gifts can be wrapped in autumn leaves.
You can use these flowers without candy.
Let's combine sweets with natural materials: dried flowers, cones and leaves.
Composition with sweets in a basket.
And now a detailed master class on creating roses from corrugated paper. It can be easily stretched and folded and can imitate real leaves.
The colors of autumn are very cheerful and any yellow, orange and red flowers go well with them.

Ideas on how to arrange a bouquet
And now you have already decided what your autumn bouquet will be made of, you have even made preparations. But you need to somehow design it so that it has a more marketable and presentable appearance!
Therefore, I offer several ideas.
For example, let’s take the now popular craft paper. Or packing tight mesh or fabric.
You can make a beautiful envelope from the same corrugated paper. With this design, there is no shame in giving your craft.
Insert the craft into a paper bag. It can even be rolled from scrapbooking sheets.
Polyurethane foam, foam rubber, floral sponge or polystyrene foam are inserted inside.
Ideas made from reed napkins turn out beautifully.
You will need:
- napkin,
- can,
- cardboard,
- pencil,
- hot glue (glue gun).
Place the jar on the cardboard and trace the bottom. We cut it out and stick it on the tin. We will also cover the sides with cardboard.
We measure the height of the walls of the tin and cut off its size on a napkin. Wrap the sides and secure with hot glue.
That's it. Everything is ready.
The bouquet can be placed in hat boxes or shoe packaging. To do this, they are covered with fabric or special paper. The bottom is lined with film, on which we place a floral sponge. We fill it with moisture and begin to form a composition.
There is a fun idea for decorating jars with plastic cocktail straws. The main thing here is to cut them carefully and evenly.
Insert dried flowers or paper flowers into paper boxes. Here's one idea. By the way, in this article I described very, maybe you will like something too.
Cardboard fits very harmoniously into this composition. Original and beautiful.
To congratulate teachers, you can decorate the packaging with letters. 
Or just put the bouquet in the basket. They are now made not only from wicker, but also from newspaper tubes, paper and canton.
Thank you for your attention and wish you productive joint work. I’m just sure that you will be able to find an idea for yourself and create a composition that you wouldn’t be ashamed to give to a teacher or send to an exhibition!
