To hang a wreath, make a loop of ribbon.

royal flower

Let's make a rose from the leaves. To do this, they must be slightly damp.

When a certain number of flowers are ready, we prepare the base from a thick wire, folding it into a ring.

Now we can connect the roses in threes and start attaching these blanks to the base with a thread or thinner wire.

This is the wreath we end up with. Also use ribbons for hanging.

craft with children

Most often, we go with children to the forest or park to admire the fall of the leaves. We offer you a master class on how easy it is to make a beautiful wreath by introducing a child to the creative process.

It all starts with the collection. Choose colorful leaves: red, yellow, green. Different types: maple, mountain ash, birch, etc.

If the branches stick out, they must be cut.

If you and your child have collected not only leaves, but also various cones, then make the next wreath.

For it, you can also use the base of a disposable plate, or you can cut it out of cardboard. The leaves must be glued in several rows and in a checkerboard pattern. For convenience, you can draw several circles.

When you get to the inner circle, start gluing the rest of the decor. To begin with, let it be large acorns, and between them small cones (for example, alder).

On top, let the small acorns into the space between the large ones.

When all Additional materials will be glued or you will be satisfied with the existing result, let's start making the loop. To do this, cut out two rectangles from cardboard, and a loop from woolen thread, string or ribbon. We place it between the cardboard boxes and glue it.

Attach the loop to reverse side wreath and that's it, it's ready.

• dried flowers to choose from;
• thin branches;
• cardboard;
• newspapers;
• twine or ribbon;

Cut out a circle from cardboard and cover it with several layers of newspaper using masking tape. We impose so much paper until we get the desired thickness.

With the help of the same adhesive tape, we begin to cover the surface of the base with overlapping leaves. You can also use glue.

In principle, such a wreath looks beautiful on its own, but let's continue decorating it. To do this, we distribute branches with berries, branches of dried flowers throughout the wreath.

Now put the wreath aside and cut out four hearts from cardboard.

You can make them the same size, or you can make one of the pairs a little smaller than the others, as you decide.

We glue in pairs, not forgetting to put a loop of twine (or ribbon) between them.

Now we close each side of the hearts with leaves. We cut off the excess.

We apply glue to the edges of the hearts and sprinkle these places with crumbs from twigs.

We decorate the central part with rowan berries.

We attach the hearts to the wreath, hiding the loops under the leaves.

• stapler.

From paper cut out squares with sides of 10 centimeters. We will have 10 pieces for each sheet. The number of leaves will depend on the size of the base.

Take six squares and fold them diagonally. Next, fold both corners to the fold line. We have formed corners at the bottom, we also bend them to the center. For the other three squares, we perform only the first stage of adding the right and left corners. But the tenth will serve as a cutting for the leaves.

When we prepare all the details, we begin to glue them in threes, as shown below.

Then we connect all the triplets together. We place them side by side.

We paste the tenth square on the reverse side, cut it along the edge of the sheet, but not the end. We fold this protruding part into a stalk.

With the advent of autumn, city parks and forests become unusually attractive, thanks to the bright leaves of red and yellow color. They are excellent material for decorative crafts, including autumn wreath.

Original autumn wreaths, in addition to leaves, may include hop cones, autumn herbs, fruits, tree branches, for example, oak trees with acorns. Such wreaths give the interior a special atmosphere conducive to relaxation and creativity. Such a wreath, as a rule, is placed as a decoration on one of the walls of the room or on the door.

the basis on which the details will be fixed;
- special covering;
- glue;
- autumn leaves, cones, acorns, beautiful branches, etc.;
- multi-colored ribbons.

A flexible wire is suitable as a base, the thicker the better, or a vine. They are sold in craft stores. As an option, a metal coat hanger is used, its advantage is that it already has a hook on which the wreath will be attached to the wall. A circle is formed from it, to which the details of the wreath are attached. It is important that the circle has the correct geometric shape, otherwise it will affect the quality of the work. It is easy to make a circle with your own hands from those same branches or vines, fastening them with wire. The basis can also be branches with cones, acorns, berries, herbs, flowers.
The wreath can be one-sided or two-sided. Double-sided, when decorative parts are fixed on both sides, it is recommended to decorate the door.

The elements of the wreath are selected depending on the time of its use. Naturally, natural parts deteriorate quickly, so for long-term use, artificial parts should be preferred.

Natural elements for a wreath should be dried, but not overdried, so that the details do not lose their shape and crumble. As for apples, cones, acorns, they will hold well if they are first fixed on a stick. Leaves, grass, flowers can be woven singly or in bunches. Glue, wire, grass stalks are suitable as fasteners. Natural fasteners look much more aesthetically pleasing.

The bow will perfectly complement the autumn wreath. A place for it must be determined in advance. A bow made of wide suede, velvet, plush ribbons in warm colors looks great. The bow can also be made from stems of flowers or herbs. On the wall, the wreath is fixed with a hook or beautiful ribbon in the form of a loop.

Autumn is a special time of the year, multi-colored leaves rustle underfoot, and on the table there are many fruits of the most different types. It's time to go for a walk in the forest and get natural materials to create a unique home decor. Try, for example, to make an autumn wreath with your own hands for the house.

We collect materials

To make a themed decor, you will need special materials. On a beautiful autumn day, go for a walk with the whole family and collect the gifts of the forest. Multi-colored leaves, ripe berries and small vegetables and fruits that can be stored for a long time will do.

Do not forget that for the manufacture of interior decoration you will need a base, it is most convenient to use a wire frame, but you can also make a wreath from twigs.

How to make an autumn wreath: some original ideas

The easiest way to create a composition dedicated to the outgoing summer is to use a circle of thin twigs or withered grass as a base. One side of the finished wreath can be decorated with bright leaves or berries. Dried flower decorations look just as good. You can decorate them not only with foliage and forest fruits, but also with fruits or vegetables. Inshell nuts and ornamental plants like physalis also look good. Don't be afraid to combine natural and artificial materials. Decorative inflorescences made of plastic or fabric will only decorate your wreath. Artificial fruits can also be used. Of the natural ones, only small berries and artificial pumpkins retain their shape well. Wreaths collected from one type of plant or fruit look interesting. You can also use wire as a base or fasten decorative elements close to each other or at some distance on the wreath, leaving colorful leaves or twigs in sight. If you are going to fasten juicy fruits or vegetables, use pieces of wire or sharp toothpicks. An original wreath made with your own hands can also be used using dummies of mushrooms.

Secrets of decorating home crafts

If you don't like warps made from leaves or twigs, try wrapping the wire frame in cloth. Both decorative fabric and burlap or coarse cloth will do. Wreaths collected from pine or spruce autumn leaves also look good and can be supplemented with bird feathers or decorative elements. Bells, bows or other accessories will be appropriate, provided that they are combined with the main tone and color of the wreath. The use of a ready-made decorative accessory is almost unlimited. You can make an autumn wreath with your own hands and hang it near the entrance to your apartment or house. A great idea is to make several decorations at once and place them in different rooms. At the same time, you can make a unique autumn wreath with your own hands for each room or use decorative elements that are similar to each other.

A wreath of leaves is an indispensable attribute of autumn photo shoots. The two most popular options are rowan and maple. We have prepared for you step by step master classes, from which you will learn how to weave such wreaths on your head with your own hands. This process requires perseverance, but is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance.

Instead of maple leaves, you can use any other, and it is easy to replace rowan with viburnum or even artificial bright berries. The base for the wreath can be prepared in advance or you can use a regular hairband. However, you can do without everything at all. This autumn crafts someone uses it several times - it will not wither, but it will dry out a little. And if you plan to make a wreath for photo shoots for a long enough period, the base must be solid.

Wreath base

The first step is to decide on the base material. In this collection you will find several options: choose the most convenient.

Option number 1: from rods

To make the basis for the autumn wreath on the head, we select young branches. Suitable willow, birch, pine and other trees and shrubs, which are easy to cut thin strong rods.

We clean the branches from the bark and make them smooth. To make a leaf wreath beautiful, you need to make the base correctly - it should not be too big or too small. Measure the girth of the head, but constantly estimate the size of the workpiece as you work.

Tighten the twig ring with twine. Then start winding the rods on this frame. Build them up gradually and constantly reinforce with jute.

Make a tight winding when you finish braiding the branches and achieve the desired thickness of the rim for the wreath. Put the workpiece under the press overnight.

Option number 2: from paper and nylon

This base for an autumn head wreath will be made of lightweight materials, but you can be sure of the strength and reliability of the design.

Earlier we already told you how to work with newspaper tubes. Here the principle is the same. Cut magazines and newspapers into strips, roll them into tight tubes. Twist them together or just glue them together. You can also make a base for a wreath using tape or even sew these strips.

To finally fasten the structure together, take nylon tights and tightly wrap them around the rim.

On such a blank, you can stick or apply leaves, berries or other accessories from which you want to make your autumn wreath.

Option number 3: from wire

The wire rim is good because it turns out thin. This means that you can make an autumn wreath on your head more elegant and light. This perfect option for assembling small leaves in one or two layers.

The wire must be folded in one, two or three layers and twisted together, twisting it into a bundle. Select the degree of winding depending on the thickness of the material.

Twist the ends of the wire together and hide. From above, make a winding with twine or ribbon. This is necessary so that the craft turns out smoother and does not tangle the hair.

Such a wreath can be braided with leaves on top or glued material directly onto it.

To make the wreath on the head more convenient, peculiar loops can be formed at the ends of the wire. Then we will tie ribbons there and we will tie it into a bow. You can make it a kind of decorative element: for example, add a wide red ribbon and leave its ends free.

Weaving pattern

As a rule, all wreaths on the head are woven according to the same pattern. It looks like this.

As a basis, you can take flowers, autumn leaves, grass, dried flowers, rowan branches or any decorative material.

Additionally, the gaps between two adjacent leaves can be fixed with fishing line, thread or twine. Also you can use satin ribbon to make the wreath brighter.

Maple leaf wreath

The most popular fall option is the maple leaf wreath. You can make it yourself quickly enough. Choose a base from those described above, or weave without it.

The first step is to collect as many maple leaves of different sizes as possible. Let them dry a bit if it's humid outside.

The thickening near the stem must be cut off from each leaflet.

We take the first sheet and bend the bottom edge so that we get a parallel line with the "stem".

With a sprig of the second sheet, carefully pierce the first one as if we were making a stitch with a needle and thread.

We bend the second sheet in the same way as we folded the first sheet before. We take the third maple leaf and repeat the procedure.

So we go through the whole circle. To finish the wreath, you must first try it on your head, and then pierce the first and second leaf with the stalk of the latter.

If desired, you can make one or two more rows.

rowan wreath

Weaving an autumn wreath of mountain ash with your own hands is also quite simple. To make it perfect, we suggest you look at a visual step by step video instruction. With its help, you can easily repeat the process of making this beautiful autumn accessory.

Such a wreath can be additionally decorated with any autumn leaves to make it even more elegant. You can also make it from only one mountain ash - large clusters look very beautiful.

We hope that now you will be able to weave a wreath on your head yourself, and your autumn photo shoots or contests will be even more beautiful. By the way, leaves made of colored paper or foamiran are often used for school crafts. If you need to make something similar, use the suggested instructions and our selection of leaf stencils.
