What is autumn? These are leaves! Leaves under the feet of the guys! With the advent of autumn, colds come and we especially want warmth and comfort. The interior of your home can be made cozier and warmer by decorating it with natural elements - autumn leaves, dried mushrooms, acorns, nuts in a glass vase, etc.
Pumpkin decorations are also appropriate in autumn, it can be a vase or a candlestick, as pumpkins come in all sizes and shapes. They can just be dyed bright colors with a golden sheen.

And you can also complement the interior with a tablecloth in warm colors and a soft carpet.

Bouquets of autumn roses look incredibly beautiful - these are roses made from autumn leaves.

How to make roses from autumn leaves

Let's see how to make them. The colors associated with autumn are yellow, burgundy, red, brown and warm orange.

For autumn rose maple, ash, wild grape leaves are best suited. If you want to do lush rose, then it is best to choose ash leaves. Leaves must be collected from the tree, they are not brittle and moisture is still preserved.

The splendor and size of an autumn rose depend on the number of leaf-petals.

The order of execution of the autumn rose:

1. Collect multi-colored, large, not dry leaves directly from the trees.

2. Fold the leaflet in half, while the front side should be outside.

3. Then roll it up. This is the core of our autumn rose.

4. Place rose petals around the roll. In this case, the front side should be inside.

5. Bend half of the petal away from you. The inflection line should be one and a half centimeters above the core.

6. Once again we bend the leaf outward, the inflection line is not smoothed out.

7. We wrap our roll on both sides.

8. Thus, we collect the following autumn rose petals.

9. We collect the lower part with a leaflet and attach it with threads.

10. For greenery, we take the most colorful leaves. First we iron them with an iron between the paper. Then we carefully decorate the bouquet with them using a teip tape.

11. Our rose from autumn leaves is ready!

Naturally, first of all, we collect the leaves. Too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are NOT suitable for us. We will use different colors.




For one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.

We fold the first sheet in half across the central vein so that the front side is outside.







And now we turn this folded sheet into a tight roll.










This roll will be the core of the future rose.




Now around this core we begin to lay the "petals.

To begin with, we take a sheet and place a core in its center. Note that the front side of the leaf is inside the flower!




Fold this sheet in half. The edge of the inflection is located above the core by a centimeter and a half.







And now we also bend this protruding edge outward. But the fold is no longer smoothed ...




... and wrap the side edges of this double-folded sheet on both sides around the core.












We pinch the lower edges of the leaf at the very base of the flower.




We take a new sheet for the next "petal" and repeat the operation just performed, only this petal is located on the opposite side of the first sheet.















Here, several stages of the same type, shown above, are skipped, when the petals are collected in a bud. Add them until you feel enough.




When the bud is ready, we tie its base with threads to secure the flower.







How many flowers will be in your bouquet - you decide. For this "photo shoot" we had three.




Now let's go green. The most colorful leaves will do here.

In order for these leaves not to curl up into a tube the next day when dried, it is better to iron them beforehand between sheets of newspaper. They will become more fragile, but careful handling will not damage them.

We evenly put these leaves in a circle under the buds and fix the now ready-made bouquet at the base with the same threads.

On top of the threads, by the way, it will be possible to wrap this knot with yellow paper tape (painting tape), this will hide the threads and make it look neater and more finished (there is no paper tape in the photographs).










Here is the autumn bouquet and ready.




TIP: "To stand longer, it is necessary to smear the twisted roses with vegetable oil (with a brush). It is absorbed in two days, the leaves become soft, do not dry out, do not lose color and do not shrink. It dawned on me the day before yesterday. :) I smeared half of the roses - today the difference is on the face."

Happy autumn everyone!

Today we will tell you and show you how to make “live” roses from maple leaves. Maple leaves are quite durable, and roses from them do not always come out beautiful: more often they look like a tight winding of layers, only remotely resembling the grace of the queen of flowers. But with our master class, you can step by step make a rose that looks exactly like a flower. We propose to use both important qualities of maple leaves: their strength and large area, which we will dispose of to form volumetric wrapped petals.

To make a rose from maple leaves with your own hands, you will need:

fresh autumn maple leaves (quite a lot);

sewing thread on a spool suitable color- beige, yellow, orange.

How to make roses from maple leaves with your own hands: step by step and affordable

First we take a leaf thin and small. We bend it in half, bending upper part sheet back. The fold should form on its own, it is not necessary to crush it, otherwise the sheet may tear at the fold, and if it survives, the bud will not turn out to be voluminous.

Now we turn this sheet into a tube. Soft and tidy.

We take the next sheet about the same size or slightly larger. In our work, we were more guided not by the size of the sheet, but by its color. I wanted the leaves in the finished rose to blend well with each other, but at the same time I really wanted to add colors to the monotonous yellow.

We combine the stems of both leaves, bend the second leaf back, as we did with the first leaf.

We bend the right edge from the center of the sheet down at an angle of 45 degrees to the fold, also without sealing the fold, everything should be natural.

We also bend down the left edge of the same leaflet.

So we formed a petal. We take another sheet, apply it so that the center of the fold falls on the second sheet, but with an offset. It is advisable to lay rose petals from maple leaves in a spiral relative to each other. For this third leaf, we also gently bend the right and left edges, forming a voluminous petal.

If you feel that it is difficult to hold the petals with one hand, remember that we have a thread and wrap the rosebud tightly at the bottom with the transition to the leaf stems. We do not cut the thread, we do not break it, but we fix it so that it is convenient to work further.

As you can see, a small rose has already turned out.

But we do not give up and turn it into a full-fledged rose, adding and adding leaves-petals. It is important that the bent edges on the right and left do not converge at an angle in the center of the sheet, and there is free space between them. In addition, large leaves had to be tucked around the edges not once, but two or even three. In the process, the hands will "catch" the style of twisting maple leaf roses and everything will fall into place, even if the description seems not entirely clear.

The rose can be completed with a bed of leaves. You can arrange a bouquet around the perimeter, or you can frame each rose like this. Or leave the roses as they are.

A handmade maple leaf rose is ready. We hope our step-by-step master class was both understandable and useful.

This is what our roses look like two weeks after production - the leaves, of course, are already completely dry.

A new autumn has come, and our golden autumn bouquet of roses made from leaves is becoming relevant again. This is just some kind of miracle! The reality of unreality - fold rose petals from a maple leaf!

The author of the idea of ​​making roses from autumn leaves is my colleague, a teacher elementary school Natalya Yakubova. Unfortunately, her lesson - how to make a rose from maple leaves - was copied from us by many sites without attribution to these materials ...

We are happy to share this art with the readers of the site site.

So, a virtual lesson from Natalia: the sequence of making such a wonderful bouquet of roses from leaves, with my photos and comments.
At the end of the article - advice from our readers who have learned how to make a bouquet of roses from leaves.

How to make a maple leaf rose step by step

We collect suitable leaves (too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are NOT suitable for us) of various colors. For the manufacture of one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.

We fold the first sheet in half, across the central vein - so that the front side of the sheet is outside.
And now we turn this folded sheet into a tight roll. This roll will be the "core" of the rose.

Now, around this "core" of the flower, we begin to lay the "petals". To begin with, we take a sheet, and in its center we place a “core” (note that the front side of the sheet is inside the future flower!).
Fold this sheet in half. The edge of the inflection of the "petal" is located above the "core" by a centimeter and a half. Smooth out the fold of the sheet.
And now this protruding edge of the sheet is also bent outward, but the fold is no longer smoothed ...

We wrap the side edges of this double-folded sheet on both sides around the “core”.
We pinch the lower edges of the leaf at the very base of the flower.
We take a new sheet for the next "petal" and repeat the operation just performed. Only this petal is now located on the opposite side of the first sheet.

Next, we perform several similar operations, adding new leaves - now the petals are going into a bud. Add leaves until you feel it is enough to complete the flower.
When the bud is ready, we tie its base with threads to secure the flower.
How many flowers will be in your bouquet - you decide. For this "photo shoot" we had three ...

Making a bouquet

Now let's deal with the "greenery" of the bouquet framing our roses. The most beautiful and colorful leaves are suitable here.

So that these leaves do not curl up into a tube the next day when they dry, it is better to iron them beforehand between sheets of newspaper. After this procedure, they will become more fragile, but with careful handling they will not be damaged.

We evenly arrange the prepared leaves in a circle, placing them under the buds in the hand. Then we fix the now ready-made bouquet at its base with the same threads.
By the way, on top of the threads, it will be possible to wrap this knot with yellow paper tape (painting tape). The tape will hide the threads and make the bouquet look neater and more complete.

Here is our autumn bouquet of maple leaf roses and ready!
I'll tell you a secret that I folded one of the three roses of this bouquet :)

But what advice did we get from the users of the forum site www.eva.ru:
“In order for a bouquet of roses from leaves to stand longer, it is necessary to smear the already twisted roses with vegetable oil (with a brush). The oil is absorbed in two days. The leaves become soft, do not dry out, do not lose color and do not shrink.

Tips from our readers:

“Indeed, flowers from the leaves lubricated with sunflower oil last much longer. Checked: our rosette has been standing for a year, and still the same beauty :)
By the way, in sunflower oil you can add a couple of drops essential oil. I added pine - I really liked the result. And you can take orange - it has been proven that it improves mood. Experiment!".

“Sunflower oil will eventually dry out and turn into a sticky drying oil.
Florists for use.
If you put twigs or leaves in a mixture of glycerin with water (3: 1, hot water), they will not dry out, but remain soft. The only thing is that an unpredictable change in the color of the leaves is possible.
Probably, you can grease the autumn leaves with pure glycerin for softness. Or liquid silicone.

"You can go to flower department and ask to douse all this beauty with a special varnish, which cut flowers are treated when necessary and when not necessary.

“You can process a ready-made bouquet of roses with ordinary hairspray :)))
I watched how they make a passe-partout from autumn leaves - they are covered with some special glue, which makes the entire texture of the sheet clear. Then all his veins become very distinct, and the color of the sheet plays.

“At home I have a can of varnish for flowers (well, for glossy leaves indoor plants shine better). So we covered our bouquet of 11 roses with this varnish, and it turned out really cool!

“I was able to secure such a stunning bouquet of autumn leaves with melted wax. Roses and individual leaves have not lost their color after such treatment and have been delighting us for the second year!”.

“We also sprinkled our roses with sparkles, and it turned out generally gorgeous!”.

“Last fall, I painted roses made from rose leaves with gold paint, and in winter I decorated the Christmas tree with them.”
Here's what happened:

“And we in Israel made roses from plane tree leaves.”

“We don’t have red-leafed maples in the area. I had to use wonderful crimson-red leaves and to perform miniature roses, and to frame the bouquet.

“Maple leaves for making roses must be large. Moreover, if the size of the leaves is different, then you need to start with smaller ones, because. for the growing volume of the rose, each time a larger leaf is needed.

Hey! It's October outside. The aspen is about to turn red. And that means - it's time for roses and autumn leaves! For the brightest and most fabulous rose is obtained, in my opinion, from aspen leaves.

However, we will tell you step by step instructions on the example of our rose, which we made in September. At that time, there was still no smell of aspen leaves, and indeed, it was difficult to find red leaves.

As a result, we collected: three aspen leaves randomly reddened, a lot of maple leaves - very bright, but very susceptible to all kinds of lesions and darkening, and a lot of burgundy loach leaves. This is all we found, and we got such a rose:

That's what we're going to tell her today.

Despite the fact that I have last year’s in my arsenal (by the way, aspen leaves flaunt there, here they are - how bright!), this time we used a couple of chips to improve the crafts and, as you can see, this is our rose, cultivated with her own hands turned out to be a more perfect person.

So. Let's start!

How to make roses from leaves - step by step

pictures can be enlarged by clicking

We'll need

• The leaves are beautiful and bright. Red, orange, yellow are the colors of your rose. Better - large. Just in case, a lot. Let's say twenty. You never know.
• Green maple leaves. Several. Piece five. A couple are smaller, the rest are large.
• Juice straw. It's about the same as in the photo. Not very narrow and not very wide.
• A branch for a stem. Important! On the stalk at the top of it (you can cut it to length in right place) should fit very well and the juice tube should not hang out too much. So - go look, take a tube for juice.
• Rubber bands for weaving.
• Double sided tape.
• PVA glue, I think, will not hurt.
• Polish for hair. And it's just for the hair. Why so - I will write in the paragraph how to save a rose.
• A pot or vase in which our rose will show off. How we made this pot, I will write later in brief. This is where we did ... Or you can come up with something simpler. By the way! You can quickly and easily make a vase from a bottle and rubber bands. . Only the bottle here should be narrow and long and, perhaps, not cut off at all.
• If you have chosen a pot, attention! The rose must be very strong in it! We naturally have papier-mâché inside. How to make it. It can also be plasticine or modeling mass, but keep in mind! This will take a lot. About two thirds of the pot.
• Again, if you have a pot, you will need to make the earth. You can do it simply - take ... the Earth!))). We imitated the earth with ground cones. We have a special threshing machine for such purposes.

Making a rose

petals

First of all, we take a tube. We put it on the upper part of the stem and cut it so that our rosette and receptacle fit on the tube (such a green cup with leaves from which rose petals stick out).

Now we take off the tube. And we proceed to the formation of a flower on a tube.

To do this, we take a leaf and cut out a petal from it. Like this.

And now tightly wrap the petal around the tube.

We do not wrap the first petal outward. And better - with a thin stick, beautifully tuck the edges of the leaf into a tube so that the hole for the juice is not visible.

Yes! We put the petals with the beautiful side inside. So that the turned away sides are bright.

We also cut them out. Only now we turn off the edge, and then attach it to the rosette. From different sides. And fix it with a rubber band. It is possible - each petal. It is possible - several pieces.

here we have already bent the very first petal inside the tubes

Actually - that's what we use the tube for. You can form a rose immediately on the stem, as we did last time, but it will be much more difficult to fix the petal with an elastic band.

It turned out like this.

Stalk

We put the rose on the stalk.

If the tube does not sit tightly, first pour PVA into it.

Yes! For those who do not know - PVA will dry and become transparent! Don't worry about white smudges.

Receptacle

We form a flower bed.

To do this, cut out such a blank from a green maple leaf.

We wrap our bud below so that at the top (under the flower) we get green protruding crown leaves. We fix with an elastic band.

Now we form a green wrapper around this crown to hide the elastic and protruding edges (for some reason, the process was not photographed. at the end on last photo you can see how the receptacle looks after the “wrap”. If you don't understand, look there.)

To do this, cut off a long tapering strip from a large green maple leaf (let's say from 2 cm to 0), paste it on one side on double sided tape, cut out the strip and, removing protective layer on the second sticky side, we wrap our bud nicely and tightly at the bottom. We start from the wide end.

I doubt, of course, that everyone will now rush to do the same (a long matter), but I’ll tell you for those who are interested.

For the pot we used

• Pot basis - a penny pot for seedlings or transplanting flowers
• Papier mache
• PVA glue
• Orange and green lentils

We covered the potted base for seedlings with a layer of papier-mâché, forming a beautiful pot.

Then they smeared it with a layer of PVA and, scattering mixed lentils in a tray, thoroughly rolled the pot on all sides.

And left the pot alone. It needs a few days to dry.

Putting a rose in a pot

If you have a rose in a vase, then you don't need it at all.

We tightly fill the pot two-thirds with a mass of papier-mâché and stick a rose into the mass. In papier-mâché, the rose holds up beautifully.

We used black taffeta. Again, it is more specific.

Why hairspray? Checked.

But when we tried to pour a rose with professional acrylic varnish for various surfaces- the rubber bands that fastened the rose corroded everything! That's why I propose to take something that probably won't hurt the rose.

We covered the rose with varnish, the stalk, however - and the peas too.

Everything is ready!

Our rose is already decorating the class of the eldest daughter and will look like a real live rose in a pot for a long time to come. Last year's rose, in my opinion, stood until spring.

That's all. All successful creativity!
