Country flowers are on the school line. Making a beautiful bouquet

September 1 is approaching, and it’s time to think about what bouquet to give to the teacher. There is a huge scope for imagination, because for this you can use not only fresh flowers, but also candies, pencils and even marshmallows. You can assemble such compositions with your own hands.

Bright bouquet of sweets

An original idea for an edible bouquet

To form buds, you can use corrugated paper of one or more colors

What do you need:

  • round-shaped candies;
  • corrugated paper;
  • wire;
  • simple and double-sided tape;
  • heat gun;
  • decorations, decor.

Step-by-step production:

  1. Cut strips of corrugated paper. Cut out teardrop-shaped petals.

    Cut flower petals from corrugated paper

  2. Use your fingers to twist the “legs” of the petals, stretch the paper into a rounded shape, then take the candy and collect the flower, placing it inside.

    Collect a flower with candy inside

    Insert a rigid wire into the finished bud, drop hot glue onto the base of the twisted petals and wrap tightly with thread so that the bud does not slip off the stem.

    Attach the wire to the bud using glue and thread

    Spread the petals, carefully cut off the excess base of the bud.

    Spread the petals of the bud

    Take green paper cut into long strips and wrap the peduncle and stem.

    Carefully wrap the wire with green corrugated paper

    Cut out the leaves.

    Cut 2-3 leaves for each flower

    Use a drop of hot glue to attach the leaves to the stem. To decorate the bouquet, you can take small artificial flowers. Assemble the composition in a spiral, then fasten the stems with tape. For greater effect, you can make a vase from a cardboard cylinder or a tin can for a candy bouquet. A jar of suitable size is wrapped in wrapping or colored paper and decorated with ribbons. You can glue the decor with a hot-melt gun.

    Use to decorate ribbon or fabric

From colored pencils

Then the pencils can be used for their intended purpose

You can add several pencils to the bouquet

What do you need:

  • yarn of two compatible colors;
  • scissors;
  • cling film;
  • colored pencils;
  • rounded wide dishes (vase, bowl);
  • colored cord;
  • wire;

Prepare everything you need in advance

Step-by-step master class:


From fruits

Beautiful, original and tasty

Use fruits and aromatic herbs, such as mint, for the bouquet

What do you need:

  • fruits to choose from - plums, grapes, apples, pears, lime, lemon, figs, tangerines;
  • flowers;
  • greenery;
  • kebab skewers;
  • cord or twine;
  • craft paper, ribbon.

How to do:

  1. The fruits chosen are strong, not overripe, or perhaps slightly underripe. They do not need to be washed, the main thing is that they look attractive. If the bouquet contains citrus fruits, then you should purchase medium-sized fruits.
  2. Stick several skewers into large fruits, for example, into pomegranates, for further stability when making a bouquet. Insert the sticks only halfway.

    Stick skewers into grenades

  3. Make preparations from other fruits in the same way. Arrange them on the table with herbs and leaves.
  4. Then start assembling the bouquet in a spiral, adding each of the blanks to it one by one.
  5. Attach sprigs of herbs and flowers to skewers.

    Attach the sprigs of greenery to the skewers using a thread

  6. When you like the composition and are ready, wrap the skewers tightly with cord.

    Assemble the bouquet and wrap the skewers

Try different compositions.

For such bouquets, it is better to choose unripe fruits - they are stronger

Add some flowers and greenery

There can be bright flowers in the center of the composition, and fruits will only complement them

You can also collect a bouquet in a basket

From marshmallows and oriental sweets

Unusual idea for a sweet bouquet

What do you need:

  • marshmallows;
  • kebab skewers;
  • wrapping paper;
  • decorative elements;
  • scotch.

How to do it yourself:

  1. Thread marshmallows onto skewers. Large ones can be secured to several for stability.

    2. Make blanks from sweets.

    Thread each piece of Turkish delight and marshmallow onto skewers.

  2. Place blanks with large and small marshmallows in the center of the bouquet, add sweetness.

    Start forming a bouquet of sweet preparations

    4. Immediately secure the skewers with tape so that the composition does not fall apart.

    Wrap tape around skewers

    5. Form a complete bouquet in a circle, wrapping the skewers with tape.

    The tape will hold the composition tightly

    After assembling, pack the sweet bouquet in transparent or floral wrapping paper and decorate with ribbons.

    Wrap the finished bouquet in gift paper

Charming bouquet of garden flowers with your own hands

A traditional bouquet uses autumn flowers

What do you need:

  • floral sponge “oasis”;
  • viburnum, rowan on a branch;
  • plastic bag, knife, scissors.

Step by step assembly:

  1. Cover the bottom of the basket with a bag; when watering the sponge, water will not leak.

    Place a bag or film at the bottom of the basket to prevent water from leaking out

  2. Place a floral sponge on top of the bag. If necessary, trim the edges with a knife.

    To ensure the sponge fits completely, trim the edges

    Choose large flowers and stick them into a sponge; they will be the main accent of the composition. In addition to zinnias, you can use gladioli, roses, and dahlias.

    Place large bright flowers in the center of the composition

    Arrange the rest of the flowers in artistic order.

    Option for a bright bouquet

    As you can see, there is nothing difficult in composing a holiday composition. Flights of fancy and experiments will add uniqueness and charm to your bouquet. Your child will go to school on September 1 with pride, because he, too, participated in this magical action.

Good day, friends! Some parents prefer to approach the issue of choosing a bouquet in an extraordinary way, making original versions of gift arrangements themselves or turning to the services of specialized salons. Others are not averse to presenting a nice bouquet for September 1 from flowers grown independently in their summer cottage. But each of them tries to make this fragrant and pleasing to the eye symbolic gift in the hands of their child look both original and harmonious.

Knowledge Day is just around the corner, when thousands of smartly dressed first-graders from all over the country will hear their first bell at the formal school assembly. An invariable attribute of this holiday for every little schoolchild is a bouquet of flowers intended for their future teacher, with whom they will enter the school year.

Bouquet for September 1st for a first grader: which one should go with to the ceremony

There are a lot of interesting ideas on how to make this or that bouquet. And there are an incredible variety of options for the bouquets themselves. I propose to consider the most interesting ideas, after which you will definitely decide what kind of bouquet your child will have on September 1st.

Original bouquets

Sometimes very original solutions take the place of the classics in bouquet design. Here are just a few of them.

  • How do you like the idea of ​​a small, modest flower in a black pot, the surface of which can be used as a blackboard? Together with your child, you can write wishes to the teacher or kind words addressed to the teacher on it.
  • Or you can show off on the school line with a globe, not a simple one, but a voluminous one, made of large or small flowers.
  • You can please the teacher not only with the sight of beautiful flowers, but also with goodies. For such occasions, there are bouquets of sweets, gingerbread or tea.
  • It is also appropriate to use various additional items in the decor of gift compositions. For example, you can create a bouquet of balloons or toys, complement the design with stationery (for example, pencils), or build a beautiful structure with your own hands from cardboard, colored paper and ribbons.
  • Another of the unusual ideas is a beautiful transparent jar as a vase, with toy plastic letters on the bottom, complemented by simple flowers such as asters or daisies.
  • A wonderful sentimental gift for the class teacher would be a bouquet in a decorative flowerpot of homemade mini-flowers with photographs of all his students, boys and girls, which will long remind him of his favorite class even years later.

Bouquets of pencils

Interesting bouquets are obtained by using a combination of flowers and pencils. There are several options for this design.

  1. In the first case, pencils or felt-tip pens are used to make an improvised bright vase (or rather, its likeness), into which the flowers are placed directly.
  2. The second option involves a composition that combines, in addition to flowers, the same pencils, as well as other small stationery, which give the bouquet a typically “school” character. This design of stationery is perfect as a gift not only for September 1, but also for Teacher's Day.

Gift for a male teacher

Although male teachers are often given the same bouquets as their female colleagues, if necessary, it is quite possible to subtly emphasize the gender nature of the gift. To do this, in the design of a “male” bouquet, emphasis is placed on the dark design of the packaging, and cereal plants are used instead of traditional varieties of flowers.

An armful of gingerbread

One of the varieties of sweet compositions can be a bouquet of gingerbread cookies, which looks very unusual and will certainly delight everyone with its taste.

To implement this idea, you will need several gingerbread cookies, which you can order from a pastry shop or prepare and decorate yourself. To form a gift, you will need skewers or special sticks inserted into each gingerbread. A bunch of finished gingerbread cookies are tied with a beautiful ribbon and decorated to your liking with additional materials.

Bouquet of sweets

Such a sweet, homemade gift will delight the recipient not only with its creative design, but will also allow him to enjoy the taste of such an elaborate dessert. There are no limits to your imagination when creating a bouquet of sweets, so the end result can be a real masterpiece.

Let's quickly evaluate the most popular ideas. To bring them to life, it is best to use chocolate candies in a bright foil wrapper. You will also need special skewers and corrugated paper for decoration. In some cases, ribbons, organza and other little things will not hurt to create various props.

Let's take a closer look at several master classes on making candy bouquets:

  • A pineapple. To make it, you need to cut a plastic bottle into two parts, insert the lower part inside the upper one, cutting off the excess from the lower one. The resulting shape is pasted over in even rows of round candies, the leaves are made from corrugated paper.

  • Candy tulips. Each candy is wrapped in a piece of fabric measuring 10 by 10 cm to form a bud. Leaves are cut out of felt. Using green narrow tape, the finished bud and leaves are tied to a skewer to make a flower. After the required amount has been collected, the finished “tulips” are collected into a bouquet and wrapped with a beautiful satin ribbon.

  • Roses, crocuses, candy poppies. The scheme for making such bouquets is approximately the same, the only difference is in the color scheme and the shape of the petals that will be used for work.

We attach the candy to a skewer or wire, preferably in a shiny foil wrapper. We cut out blanks of future flower petals from corrugated paper and give them the necessary texture. We secure the petals around the candy using a thread to create the shape of the desired flower. We wrap the skewer and the base of the flower with green tape.

We place the finished products in a wicker basket or a small plastic flower pot, having previously placed a foam base in it. Decorate the stems and base with leftover corrugated paper.

  • "Raffaello". Such a gift will be appropriate not only on September 1, but also at any other time outside of school (especially for a girl). They are often made to order, but making them yourself will be much cheaper.

So, take each of the Raffaello or Ferrero Rocher candies and wrap them in transparent organza. Using ribbons, we fix each candy on a skewer or wire-stem wrapped in foil. We fasten all the stems together with transparent tape, decorate with corrugated paper, and then wrap the finished bouquet with organza with sewn beads.

The result is an extremely airy and romantic composition.

Balloon bouquets

Options for compositions using balloons, which have been gaining popularity lately, will be an excellent alternative to classic flower surprises. Moreover, you can order ready-made compositions or make individual bouquets to suit your taste.

There are different uses for these holiday accessories.

  • In one case, miniature balloons serve as additional decor for regular flower arrangements.
  • In other cases, flowers are made from special modeling balls (so-called “sausages”), forming full-fledged bouquets. Usually, most clients prefer to buy ready-made products, because in order to make such flowers yourself, you need to thoroughly practice in this matter.

Such armfuls look quite funny and unusual, so they are suitable not only for the holiday on September 1, but will also be suitable, for example, for a visit to a matinee in a kindergarten.

Budget compositions

Holiday bouquets do not always have to be chic and expensive. Cheap options will also be appropriate, especially if you approach this matter with imagination.

For example, a well-chosen composition of small wildflowers, complemented by decorative accessories, will look no worse than exotic specimens, but will certainly stand out for its elegant simplicity.

And several garden flowers, carefully grown in the country, are in no way inferior to chic store flowers, and often surpass them in aroma.

Tea bouquet idea

And now I’ll tell you how to make another unusual gift. We will talk about a bouquet based on beautifully decorated tea.

For this composition we select elite tea bags, in stylish foil packaging. We place the bags on a frame, which you can buy at a gift store or make yourself. We make flowers from corrugated paper (can be based on candies), on long skewers.

We fill the remaining space between the bags with ready-made flowers using organza and ribbons, fasten the stems and decorate the composition.

Fruit bouquet idea

Another edible option for a gift composition involves the use of seasonal gifts of nature in the composition.

A number of stores offer ready-made bouquets, both small and simply huge. They are based on apples, citrus fruits, and berries. All this beauty is complemented by flowers, as well as the minimalist design of the bouquet.

However, there is nothing difficult in assembling such a bouquet yourself, only in our case the flowers will be the basis, and the fruits will only serve as an addition. Grapes, apples, and other fruity joys of the end of August will fit perfectly into the company of flowers.

A frame, corrugated paper, a decorative basket and ribbons will help bring this beautiful idea to life.

Toy composition idea

Such a bouquet is made according to the same principle as compositions of fruits, sweets and tea, except that in this case miniature soft toys and stationery are used, which are placed on a frame and complemented with fresh flowers. The entire composition is decorated with ribbons, corrugated paper or organza.

Bell

Thematic options are replete with a wide variety of ideas. I invite you to look at a symbolic bouquet that will look natural in the hands of any schoolchild, especially one who is just starting 1st grade.

This idea is called “Bell”.

Cut off the top third of the plastic bottle. We cover the outside with organza or beautiful paper, and insert the bottom - a floral sponge - inside. From candies, wire and corrugated paper we make flowers with which we fill our bell. We decorate with paper details and organza, voila - done!

Sunflower ideas

The sunflower is a rather original flower; if a child comes on September 1 with a bouquet of sunflowers, instead of the usual roses or chrysanthemums, I think it will greatly impress and delight the teachers.

You can make a simple bouquet consisting only of sunflowers, or you can complement it with a variety of color compositions.

Irises will dilute yellow colors best.

Roses will add elegance to the bouquet.

Solidago, chrysanthemums and chamomile will add a summer note.

Greenery in combination with chrysanthemums and alstroemerias will add piquancy to the bouquet.

A beautiful autumn bouquet with roses and rowan will be remembered and will pleasantly surprise every teacher with its originality.

From chrysanthemums

Of course, chrysanthemums do not look as unique as sunflowers, but it all depends on how and with what to present them. Let's look at some ideas for beautiful and inexpensive bouquets of these flowers.

The options may be the following:

  • Bouquet of multi-colored chrysanthemums.
  • These flowers look very gentle in combination with roses.
  • The combination of lilies and chrysanthemums is a great option for a holiday.
  • Chamomiles and chrysanthemums - simple and tasteful.

Ideas for bouquets of gladioli

These are unusually beautiful flowers, let's take a closer look at how to make the most beautiful bouquets from them for Knowledge Day.

Options for bouquets can be the following and can be combined with colors such as:

  • Roses.
  • Lilies.
  • Gerberas.
  • Roses + orchids go perfectly with gladioli.

Ideas for bouquets of asters

Many flowers go together with asters. Here are some of the best options:

  1. Asters + chrysanthemums.
  2. Roses + carnations + asters + chrysanthemums
  3. Germinie + asters + viburnum + pistache + tanacetum (this bouquet is quite difficult to find ready-made, but you can buy it in parts and yourself).

Rose bouquet ideas

Roses are a classic and go with almost all flowers. They cannot spoil the bouquet; on the contrary, if you add them to any bouquet, it will become even more beautiful.

Ideas for bouquets with roses can be as follows:

  • In tandem with chrysanthemums, roses are delightful.
  • If you add orchids to the above option, the bouquet will become even more delicate.
  • A bouquet of roses and daisies will look quite unusual.
  • Lilies also go well with roses.

Variants of compositions from gerberas

Gerberas are beautiful even alone; it is enough to collect a bouquet of these flowers, which have a variety of colors, and it is in no way inferior in beauty to even beautiful roses.

You can pair them with several colors for variety. Gerberas with:

  • Lilies, roses and chrysanthemums in one bouquet at once.
  • Orchids, tulips and roses.
  • Daisies and tulips.

Bouquets of zinnias

These country flowers are extremely beautiful. Here are some successful combinations of zinnias with other plants:

  • With immortelle and asparagus.
  • With roses and sunflowers.
  • With any country and wild flowers.

Bouquets of dahlias

These flowers have a chic and lush look. A composition of them always looks presentable and bright. You can make a bouquet exclusively from geogreens, or you can diversify it with other flowers.

So, dahlias go well with:

  • Greens (in this case it is hypericum, but you can use absolutely any).
  • Hydrangea.
  • Asters, daisies and other country flowers.

Lily option

These flowers go well with many color compositions. Here are some of the most popular bouquets using lilies:

  • Roses + lilies (you can add dianthus).
  • The combination of irises and lilies makes a gorgeous bouquet.
  • Gerberas + tulips + lilies.

These are the ideas I have collected for you. I hope you find them useful in your holiday preparations!

See you again, dear subscribers. Don’t forget to tell your friends about us on social networks and subscribe to resource updates. Goodbye!

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

If you have little experience in ikebana, but you need to make a bouquet, choose calla lilies. On their own, with a minimal addition of fresh herbs, they will look great. The main thing is to arrange them “by height” and tie the bouquet before cutting off the stems.

Sequins, ruffles and other vignettes in floristry are not in fashion now. Nothing should distract from the beauty of the flower itself. Therefore, when you make a bouquet with your own hands, take care of its decent design - for this you can choose, for example, a wide jute ribbon.


If you are preparing not a bouquet for a ruler, but a flower arrangement for the teacher’s desk, you can make it yourself. To do this, you will need three to five types of flowers in a single color scheme - here callas, roses, gerberas and hypericum red (aka St. John's wort) for decoration, but you can choose something else. You also need long, wide leaves (here aspidistra), a wide vase and narrow adhesive tape. You can see the technology for making a bouquet. The florist's advice is also given there: to make flowers last longer, you need acid, sugar and an antibacterial agent. Therefore, you can add lemonade (in a ratio of 1:4) and liquid household bleach (1 teaspoon per liter of water) to the water for flowers.


A lattice made of adhesive tape, stretched over any container, will help create a flower arrangement even for people with almost no floristic talents. Practice on garden dahlias, of which there are so many in dachas now. Perhaps you will like the technology and use it, not only creating a bouquet for September 1, but also to decorate your home with flowers.

Bouquet for school in the style of "crafts from natural materials"

Another way to decorate dahlias (and do it with your child). You will need a low, wide vase or decorative jar, several dahlias and a couple of handfuls of small pine cones collected by a child on a walk in the forest or park. Fill a vase or jar with pine cones and stick in dahlias. The bouquet in the style of “crafts made from natural materials” is ready!


A luxurious orchid is an almost ideal gift for a teacher. It looks like a beautiful bouquet, but it will bloom and delight much longer, and with easy care - even regularly.


The easiest way to create a bright and lush bouquet is to use a variety of varieties of the same type of flower. Gazania, chrysanthemum, zinnia or hydrangea are perfect for this.

September 1 is inexorably approaching, and it’s time for some to go to kindergarten, for others to go to school, and parents, as usual, are faced with the final rush for white bows, the correct shift and beautiful bouquets for their favorite educators and teachers. We, as mothers who are absolutely partial to any kind of applied creativity, thought and thought and decided that we should collect the bouquet with our own hands this year. Because what is available in the nearest stores near the metro causes great sadness, and the desire to try yourself as a florist has long been present on the “to do” list. And to make everything just for real, we asked a professional florist from give us a small master class and tell us how to collect, combine and what is the best way to pack bouquets. We share with you flower secrets.

Bouquet using spiral technique

To work you will need:

Flowers.

There are no strict rules in choosing flowers in floristry; you can safely choose flowers to your liking. For more harmonious combinations, you can use the color wheel or inspiring photographs of professional florists. To make the bouquet interesting, choose flowers of different textures. And pay attention to the choice of greenery, it will add splendor and freshness to your bouquet. The bouquet will look “alive”, as if it had just been picked in the garden.

For our bouquet we chose: carnations of the Caramel variety, dahlias of the Dianas Memory variety, spray roses of the Gloris variety, silene of the Ballet variety and pistache branches.


Secateurs and scissors.

Secateurs - for trimming flowers, scissors - for paper and ribbons.
Do not trim flowers with scissors, they injure the capillaries of the stems, and the flowers drink water less well, which affects their durability in the vase. If you don’t have pruning shears, you can use a thin stationery knife.

Ribbons.

Leg-split.

It will be needed for technical dressing of the bouquet.

Wrapping paper.

Initially, paper performed an exclusively protective function during transportation, but in our time, when craft rules the world, paper has become the logical conclusion of a bouquet. Craft you can choose plain or printed. Now the choice of craft is limitless, for every taste, as they say. We also like to use quiet paper for packaging, it has such an amazing crunch.

Before you start assembling the bouquet, you should remove the lower leaves and branches of the flowers, and the thorns of roses should also be removed - if this is not done, the water will quickly begin to rot, and the flowers will not last long in the vase. Then make a fresh cut of the stems, preferably at an angle, place the flowers in water and leave them for a couple of hours so that the flower “comes to life” after being transported to Russia without water. And after that you can collect the bouquet.

Take the first flower in your left hand and place it vertically, and with your right hand add all subsequent flowers slightly diagonally from left to right, this arrangement resembles a spiral, which is where the name of the technique comes from. Rotate the bouquet periodically to ensure an even distribution of flowers throughout the bouquet. Or, when placing back flowers, change the direction and place the stems diagonally from right to left.

Then take the twine and tie the bouquet in the place where you hold the stems with your hand. Afterwards, tie the technical dressing area with satin ribbons and tie a bow.

There are many ways to pack a bouquet. We chose the corner packaging method. Cut 2 square sheets, fold them with corners and wrap the paper around the bouquet, tie it with twine to secure the paper. Trim the stems of flowers. After the place of the bunch, leave about 1/3 of the length of all stems. And your bouquet is ready!

Cost of the bouquet.

And now about the most interesting part. How much will a bouquet collected by yourself cost?

If you act like professional florists, you need to go to the base and buy flowers there in order to get them at the lowest cost. The cost of flowers will be minimal, however, you will have to buy each item in packs. They usually don't sell less. Plus, you will need to draw up an agreement with the seller, and not everyone works with individuals. The same story, only without contracts, awaits you at all kinds of bases, such as Mostsvettorg and ProstoTsveta, only the price per pack will already have a noticeable markup. Therefore, we are not considering this option. But if you are lucky, you already have an agreement with the flower supplier, and all that remains is to pay for your choice of flowers, greenery and craft, the total purchase amount will be approximately 3395 rubles.

Second option: you can go to the metro or to a flower salon and pick individually the flowers that you want to see in your bouquet. In this situation, it is better to visit the salon in advance, 2-3 days in advance, to make a pre-order and reservation for flowers and greenery. Because On August 29-31 there will be a rush there, and everything that they brought will be sold, cleaned up. We calculated how much the flowers used in our bouquet now cost at retail, and the amount turned out to be the same about 4000 rubles.

In the third option, you simply go to your favorite flower studio, to your favorite florist and order a bouquet from him. This, surprisingly, is the most budget option. Because a bouquet like ours will cost you , for example, in 2500 rubles.

Conclusion: If you want to make a bouquet for September 1st with your own hands, look for large bases, buy flowers in packs and exercise your creative muscle. This option is very good for those who need to congratulate with flowers the teachers, heads, and teachers at the older child’s school. Then you can really win on the cost of each individual bouquet.

The most economical option is to order a bouquet from a flower shop. The workshop purchases flowers in bulk, reducing costs due to volumes, and also relieves you of the problem of logistics and delivery of flowers to your home. And the best part: by ordering flowers from trusted workshops from good florists, your bouquet will definitely be the most beautiful and most memorable.

So the choice is yours.

Happy child 13.08.2017

Dear readers, very soon the first bell will ring for our schoolchildren. The school year will begin, filled with discoveries and new knowledge. And wonderful teachers will involve children in this wonderful world of knowledge. Of course, I want to do something nice for them, to surprise them on this special day. Flowers are an integral part of Knowledge Day, and therefore, on the first of September, smart schoolchildren go to school with backpacks and large bouquets of autumn flowers.

Do you want to surprise your teacher and give him an unusual bouquet? Today we will make a bouquet for the teacher with our own hands from satin ribbons. You can make such a bouquet together with your children. While talking while working, unobtrusively create a mood for learning, arouse interest in what awaits him during the school year. A master class on creating such a bouquet will be presented to us today by Anna Pavlovskikh, a textile artist and decorator. I give her the floor.

Greetings to all readers. Today I want to tell you how to make a beautiful autumn bouquet from satin ribbons step by step - a gift for the teacher on September 1st.

What you need for a bouquet of ribbons

  • Satin ribbons 2.5 and 5 cm wide in autumn shades: orange, brown, red, yellow, green, burgundy;
  • plastic cup for a vase;
  • sponge cut to fit the cup;
  • notebook cover with a print on a school theme;
  • scissors;
  • threads;
  • sewing needle and safety pins;
  • wooden skewers;
  • candle;
  • ribbon for decorating a vase;
  • decorative autumn twig;
  • a piece of felt cream, soft yellow or flesh-colored;
  • stationery for themed decor;
  • clamp or tweezers;
  • glue "Moment" transparent or glue gun.

How to make a bouquet of satin ribbons

Insert a sponge cut to size into the cup.

On the felt, draw a circle 3 mm smaller than the top diameter of the cup. Stepping back 4 cm from this circle, draw a second circle. Cut out the resulting shape.

Coat the edge of the cup with glue and glue the felt blank.

Cut a rectangle from the cover to the size of the cup.

Glue the prepared rectangle and decorate with ribbon.

Use the remaining cover to make a stencil for the leaves. The size of the stencil blank should be approximately 4.5 x 6 cm.

Cut out blanks of satin ribbon 5 cm wide using a stencil.

Now scorch the edges of each piece with a candle flame.

After this, pinch the fold at the base of the petal with tweezers or a clamp and melt this place over the candle - our voluminous petal is ready. Use the same principle to make other petals.

Glue the resulting leaves to the felt in 3 rows, alternating colors.

Trim the skewers so that the top part on which the flower will be attached is slightly higher than the level of the leaves.

Take a satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide and 25 cm long. Place the edge of the ribbon at an angle of 30 degrees.

Place the edge of the skewer on the bent ribbon.

Coat the tip of the skewer with glue and wrap a bent ribbon around it - this will be the middle of the bud.

Straighten the ribbon and bend it away from you at an angle, wrap the middle in a circle with this bend.

Fold the ribbon away from you again and wrap the middle again.

Continue making folds on the ribbon away from you and twisting the bud.

Try to place the tops of the petals between each other, that is, fold the tape in the gap between the already folded and laid petals. Sew or glue the petals after two twists so that the flower holds well and the rose petals do not fall apart. Fold the edge of the ribbon and sew it on. Cut off the tip and melt it over the candle. The first rose is ready.

Use the same method to make roses of other colors. Using the sharp tips of skewers, stick the flowers into the sponge in the vase. Complete the flowers with an autumn decorative twig or leaf.

Decorate the composition with multi-colored pencils; you can also use ballpoint pens, rulers, squares and compasses for this. These decorative elements will create a festive mood appropriate for the occasion.

This is how, dear readers, spending very little time and money, you can make a very unusual bouquet - a gift for Knowledge Day for your favorite teacher. In addition, while you are creating such a bouquet with your child, it’s time to remember all the good things that await him at school, so that he will go there in a good mood and in the mood to study. And the bright and juicy bouquet, without any doubt, will remain in the teacher’s memory for a long time and will take its rightful place in the classroom or at home.
