Autumn gives us a lot of materials for creativity. These include leaves of various colors, chestnuts, dried flowers, acorns, and a decorative miniature pumpkin.

But, before you start making souvenirs from them, you need to properly prepare them, namely dry them and, if necessary, coat them with varnish or paint.

If you make a craft from unprepared raw materials, it will be a short-lived product.

As soon as the material dries on its own, the souvenir will lose its shape and will have to be thrown away. And besides this, half-raw leaves can simply rot or become moldy.

So let's start by drying out our autumn finds.

Let's prepare the leaves for the herbarium as follows:

1 way:

Place them between the book sheets and place them back on the shelf, pressing them tightly with other books to the side. In about a week to a week and a half, the leaves will be suitable for crafts.

This method is the best, since the natural color of the leaves does not change and then they do not break for a long time.

Method 2:

This method is good if you don’t have the strength to withstand a week and a half and want to get to work quickly. Place the sheet between two white sheets of paper and iron with an iron set to the lowest setting.

In this case, the yellow and red leaves retain their color, but the green ones may darken and become an ugly, brown shade.

We dry chestnuts, acorns and decorative pumpkins.

1 way:

Dry outdoors in the shade. It will be necessary to wait quite a long time before these materials acquire the dryness we need.

Sometimes this process takes a month. This is especially true for decorative pumpkins, which make wonderful DIY autumn crafts.

You will see for yourself when the moment of readiness for the gifts of autumn comes. Acorns and chestnuts will become lighter, and the pumpkin will become like a rattle, as the cavity inside will dry out and shrink, and dry seeds will beat against the walls.

Method 2:

We use the oven for this. It needs to be set at a temperature of up to 60C and dried until tender, stirring occasionally.

The main thing is not to rush and do not put on high heat, as the fruits will simply cook and become completely unusable.

Drying dried flowers

There is only one way and it takes a long time. Flowers need to be strung on a thread threaded through the stems and hung in a dry place, with the flower stems facing down.

Drying in a book or with an iron will not work, as the shape will be lost and they will become flat. After the dried flowers are completely dry, they must be covered with a layer of hairspray. It will give them the desired density and will not allow them to crumble at the slightest touch.

Well, now, let's move on to specific master classes and examples.

1. Panel of autumn leaves

We offer you a great idea for a DIY leaf panel. It’s not at all difficult to make, but the result is quite impressive.

It would be nice if you placed other autumn decorative elements next to the finished leaf painting. For example, pumpkins, spikelets and other things that suit the style. Then you will have a whole autumn ensemble.

What we need for work:

1. 1. Dried maple leaves of yellow-red color.
2. 2. Tree branch for the trunk
3. 3. A square piece of plywood
4. 4. Stain or dark varnish
5. 5. Simple pencil
6. 6. PVA glue
7. 7. A bunch of dry spikelets
8. 8. Wicker basket for pumpkins
9. 9. Several Jack Be Little or Baby Boo pumpkins

If you don’t have such pumpkins, you can fill the basket with chestnuts and acorns. But next year it wouldn’t hurt to grow them, as they look very colorful and festive. Of course, if you have a plot of land.

Look at the variety of varieties and how harmoniously they combine with each other:

Master class step by step:

1 step. Sand the board, paying special attention to the edges. They should be smooth.

Step 2. Cover it with stain or varnish, preferably with a brownish tint. Apply the coating in several layers, trying to make the board not a uniform color, but a slightly “spotty” one.

Step 3. Freehand draw a large maple leaf.

Step 4 Start gluing on the maple leaves. Start from the edges, gradually approaching the middle. The edges of the leaves should match the edges of the sketch as best as possible. The next row of leaves should overlap the previous one. Do not glue the ends, they must be “overhanging” to create a volume effect.

Step 5 Glue the selected twig in place of the stem.

Now hang the autumn panel you created with your own hands above a cabinet and place other decorative elements around it.

2. Topiary from herbarium and other autumn materials

Topiary is a decorative tree. In autumn, you can collect beautiful leaves and make such a wonderful and cozy decorative element.

Any leaves, dried flowers, acorns, spikelets will be used here. The main thing is to understand the essence and make the right foundation. And what to fill it with - your imagination will tell you.

What we need for work:

1. 1. Ceramic pot of a dull color
2. 2. A straight tree branch for the trunk
3. 3. 1 ball made of foam rubber, polystyrene foam or special floral foam
4. 4. Dry moss, sesame or a handful of beautiful pebbles, acorns, dry rowan
5. 5. Glue gun
6. 6. Dry plaster
7. 7. Decorative elements: herbarium, dried flowers, rowan, acorns, etc.

Master class step by step:

1 step. Let's start with the basics. Take a foam ball and place it on a branch that will serve as your trunk. Then remove it and drop some glue from the gun into the hole formed. Reattach the ball and let it dry.

Step 2. Secure the trunk in the pot. To do this, drop a drop of glue onto the free edge of the branch and attach it to the base of the pot.

Then, dilute the plaster with water to the consistency of liquid sour cream and fill the container. Don't forget that you will still need to decorate everything on top with moss or acorns, so leave a gap of about 3-4 cm from the top.

Step 3. Now we insert leaves and dried flowers into the ball, sticking them with their stems inside. If you want to add acorns to the composition, then first place them on pieces of wire.

Step 4 Now all you have to do is decorate the top of the pot so that the plaster is not visible.

That's it. Using this simple scheme, you can make a wide variety of autumn crafts with your own hands, not only from leaves, but also from dry peas, nuts and so on. They will all look just great!

3. Roses from maple leaves

Looking at this elegant bouquet of roses, you wouldn’t even think that it was made from ordinary maple leaves!

But, nevertheless, it is so. You just need to learn how to fold them correctly and you will get a great basis for many ideas.

Such roses can be included in various autumn topiaries, wreaths, compositions and panels. They look great in combination with any natural materials.

Well, let's get down to business.

What we need for work:

1. 1. Maple leaves are not dried
2. 2. Thread or soft wire
3. 3. Matte hairspray

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the middle of the bud. To do this, fold the sheet as shown in the pictures below. Try to twist it as tightly and evenly as possible. First in half and then into sausage.

As a result, we should have something like this:

Step 2. Now take the second sheet, fold it in half again and wrap it around the base.

The sharp edges of the maple leaves should be carefully hidden inside, like this:

Step 3. We continue to build up the mass around the base, adding more and more leaves. If you want to end up with a bud, then twist it more tightly, but if you ate a more magnificent rose, then loosen the twist a little.

Step 4 When you see that a real rose has “bloomed” in your hands, you need to secure it with threads as tightly as possible.

Step 5 We trim the edges with scissors and place the rose on a lining of leaves, preferably already dry. We cover the composition with varnish and admire it!

These leaf roses last quite a long time, definitely enough for the entire autumn season. You can make as many of these flowers as you like. The more there are, the more chic this autumn composition, reminiscent of a fabric motif, looks.

4. Compositions of decorative pumpkins

Even if you do not grow this vegetable on your own plot, in the autumn you can freely buy them at the market and then dry them yourself. We have already told you how to do this above, so let’s not waste time talking.

Let's get creative!

There will be no master classes in this block, we will simply show you examples of such decor, and how to make them is already quite clear from the photo.

Of course, there are more complex techniques, for example, carving or painting on dry lagenaria, but this is a broad topic and worthy of a separate article. Here we will consider only the simplest compositions that even a schoolchild can do.

Option 1. Basket with a scattering of pumpkins. It couldn’t be simpler, and the view is spectacular!

Option 2. Candlesticks made from mini pumpkins. To do this, you need to cut a hole with a knife of such a size that you can place a foil-based candle in it.

Or this option:

Incredibly simple, right?

Option 3. Pumpkin door wreath. Take any circle as a basis, for example, an embroidery hoop, and attach mini-pumpkins to it.

Pierce the tails with wire and screw it to the base, circle. Use berries, acorns, twigs and autumn leaves as additional decorative elements.

It will look something like this:

5. Chestnut topiary

To create this spectacular autumn craft with your own hands, we will need the same materials for the base as for creating a decorative tree from the herbarium. And for decoration you just need other elements.

For work we will need:

1. Ceramic pot
2. Styrofoam ball
3. Dry plaster
4. Glue gun
5. Tree branch for the trunk
6. Cones, chestnuts, acorns
7. Harsh thread or twine for forming decorative balls

Master class step by step:

1. 1. We form the base of the tree in the same way as in the case of topiary from leaves.
2. 2. Secure the base in the pot using glue and plaster
3. 3. Apply drops of hot glue to chestnuts, acorns and other elements and attach them in a chaotic manner to the foam crown ball.
4. 4. Wreath on the door made of chestnuts

Such a wreath of chestnuts on the front door will cheer up not only you, but also passers-by. It's very easy to make. Follow all the steps given to make a pumpkin wreath.

Find some kind of dense base, then pierce the chestnuts and other elements through the back side, insert the wire, form a hook and use it to screw them to the circle.

Complete the chestnut composition with leaves, acorns, berries and other autumn decorative elements provided by this fertile time of year.

6. Autumn garland “Leaves” made from salt dough

This is a very impressive DIY autumn craft. The big advantage of such a garland is that it is not seasonal and will decorate your home for many years.

After all, it is made not from natural materials, but from salted dough, which does not deteriorate for years. The only thing is that such products are fragile and you need to handle them carefully so as not to break them. But, even if this happened, they can always be glued together, and the joint will not be noticeable.

What we need for work:

1. 2 cups flour
2. 1 glass of salt
3. 0.5 glasses of water
4. Gouache
5. Sewing pins with hook eye
6. Twine
7. Oven
8. White landscape paper, pencil

Master class step by step:

1 step. We draw patterns of leaves of various types, but approximately the same size, on a landscape sheet. Let's cut them out.

Step 2. Knead a stiff dough from flour, salt and water. If the dough turns out to be unplastic, you can add liquid drop by drop. Knead the resulting material thoroughly and roll it out on a board. The layer should be approximately 5 -7 millimeters.

Step 3. Place the templates on the rolled out dough and cut them along the contours with a knife.

As a result, we should have approximately this many blanks.

Step 4 We make holes with pins and carefully secure the heads. We will hang our leaves on them. Use a knife to squeeze out the veins.

Step 5 Dry the dough in the oven at 50-60C until completely dry.

Step 6 We paint the dough pieces with gouache, trying to create natural tones and transitions.

Step 7 We string the garland onto a twine, making a knot over each leaf so that they do not move.

Our DIY autumn craft is ready. You can hang it anywhere, it will be in place in any corner of the house, especially if you have some other decorative elements in the autumn style.

7. Vases and houses made from ordinary pumpkin

Autumn is the time for pumpkins to ripen. It costs mere pennies and finding a beautiful shape and coloring is not difficult.

And making an element of autumn decor based on it is as easy as shelling pears! There are no step-by-step technologies or accessories needed here.

The only thing you need: pumpkins, a knife for carving, a tablespoon to select the pulp and flowers with which you will fill these colorful vases.

Look at our selection of photos of pumpkin vases. It looks very decent and autumn-like.

As you already understood, you just need to cut off the top and clean out the core of the vegetable. Then fill the container with water.

Or you can make pumpkin houses. To do this, you just need to cut holes in the right places. You can see exactly where they are located in the picture below. Kids love these things!

8. Wreath on the door made of natural materials

We have already given above an example of wreaths made of pumpkins and chestnuts. You already know how to make them. Here we simply present a selection of the most effective, in our opinion, ideas.

9. Acorn frame for a photo or mirror

Decorating any base in this way is very simple. We think no explanation is needed here.

The only thing we can advise is that you should not glue acorns with a glue gun or PVA. It's much better if you use plasticine.

Because, most likely, you will soon get tired of this decor and will have to throw it away. And so, you can always dismantle the acorns and get a regular photo frame back for use.

This is what it will look like.

On the photo frame there are whole acorns, and on the mirror there are only caps. This way you can create a variety of autumn crafts with your own hands and decorate any surface: boxes, bread bins, etc.

10. A bunch of grapes made from acorns

This autumn craft will look best if you paint the “berries” in natural colors, and instead of grape leaves add a herbarium of maple leaves of various colors.

Also, a bunch of acorn grapes is a wonderful element of any autumn wreath on the door or large topiary. After all, it can be made not only tabletop, but also human-sized!

But instead of a foam ball, you need to take a large plastic one. Making grapes from acorns is very simple, we will now tell you exactly how.

What we need for work:

1. Acorns without caps
2. Shilo
3. Wire
3. Glue gun
4. Acrylic paint
5. Autumn leaves for decoration

Master class step by step:

1 step. We poke holes in the base of the acorn with an awl.

Step 2. We break or cut the wire into pieces 7-10 cm long.

Step 3. Dip the ends of the wire into a drop of glue from the gun and insert it into the punctured holes.

Step 4 We paint the acorns any color you want. The main thing is that it is combined with leaves that will complement the composition.

Step 5 We collect acorns in a cluster, forming a wire rod on top. Then we attach leaves to it.

Now you can make any decoration based on this autumn craft. Panel, wreath, etc.

11. Autumn crafts from felt

Working with this fabric is a pleasure! The material does not crumble and holds its shape perfectly. This means that any beginner can make an autumn craft from felt with their own hands and it will turn out no worse than the products of experienced craftswomen.

We offer you a selection of the best and simplest decors in autumn style, and you can choose any of them! They are so simple that there is no need to describe their step-by-step technology in detail.

As you can see, based on felt leaves, you can make both a wreath and a garland, like the one we already made from salt dough. Here are a couple more options for DIY fall wreaths.

All you need is to draw the templates, cut out the felt and design it according to our photos.

12. Garlic and red pepper braid

How cozy it is when bundles of garlic, onions, and red peppers hang in the kitchen! But if you hang them fresh, they will very soon lose their appearance or simply run out because they will be eaten.

Let's do something like this, but for centuries! Now we will look at how garlic and pepper are made, from which we will form a cute braid for the kitchen.

For work we will need:

1. White nylon tights or a plastic bag (for the garlic base)
2. Cotton wool or padding polyester (for filling)
3. White coarse thread (for dressing and forming lobules)
4. Glue gun
5. Buckwheat or twine (to imitate garlic roots)
6. Fabric for sewing peppers or salted dough for sculpting them

Master class step by step:

1 step. We form the body of the garlic. To do this, we need to cut nylon tights or simple plastic bags into squares. Garlic made from nylon looks, of course, more realistic.

But even from the packages it looks good. But the main thing is that this material is always at hand. So, cut out a square, approximately 7 by 7 cm in diameter.

Step 2. We roll a ball out of cotton wool or padding polyester, put it inside a piece of nylon and form a head of garlic. It looks like the one shown in the photo.

Step 3. Then we begin to tie a harsh thread around the head, forming cloves of garlic. First we divide it in half, then into quarters, then into 8 parts.

Look at the photo, the process is clearly shown there.

Step 4 In the place where the roots of real garlic are located, drop a drop of glue and sprinkle this place with crushed buckwheat. If you want, you can replace it with twine, which needs to be unraveled and finely chopped.

Step 5 We make a braid from twine and attach the resulting garlic cloves to it.

Step 6 Now it's time to deal with the pepper. You can sew it, but peppers made from salt dough look much better.

We have already given the recipe for the batch, in the subsection “Garlands of autumn leaves.” These are the peppercorns you should end up with.

Step 7 We make holes in the tails of the peppercorns (we will then thread twine through them and use it to secure them to the braid with garlic). You can do this with an awl or any available item.

The main thing is to make them large enough so that you can thread the thread freely later. Otherwise, after drying, you will not be able to attach the finished product to the composition in any way.

And one more thing: if you make a hole, make sure that the edges of the leg remain more or less large. Otherwise, after you thread the thread, the thin walls may crack and the pepper will fall to the floor.

Step 8 We dry them in the oven, paint them with acrylic paint, and once dry, coat them with varnish. When the pepper shines, it looks more natural.

Dry at a low temperature, do not rush, otherwise your work may burst and you will have to sculpt everything again. You can't paint a cracked pepper the way you would like.

9. Attach the pepper to the garlic and hang this autumn composition in the kitchen. You can make several such bundles. You can make carrots from salt dough, and a bunch of onions from brown tights.

The principle of making bulbs is the same as garlic, only even simpler. There is no need to form slices.

Also, a bunch of mushrooms on the wall will look great, which you can also sculpt from dough and paint realistically.

Our big review has come to an end. You have seen many examples and any kind of autumn crafts with your own hands. We really hope that our master classes will be useful to you and that you will definitely take something into account.

Anyone can create interior compositions, if desired.

When creating the interior of a room, as a result, you always want to get an aesthetically pleasing and functional “object”.

Natural materials can bring more comfort and exceptional individuality to each designed interior.

Such materials can be various tree species, branches and leaves of shrubs of various configurations, shells, stones and flowers.

DIY crafts made from natural materials

Part of the stump of an old tree, if the core is removed from it, will become a worthy decoration for a glass flower pot. But bamboo, if desired, can become a good natural material that will be used in the construction of a small shelf and night lamps.

The list of what can be created from natural materials with your own hands can be continued indefinitely, or exactly as long as the “flight of human imagination” is acceptable. But in any case, no matter what you create, you should always remember that natural decorative elements are always the aesthetics, individuality and “ecological beauty” of each room.

Examples of decor made from natural materials with your own hands:

7. Natural buds
8. Spruce needles
9. Rowan branches
10.Wolf white berries
11.Fallen leaves
Cooking steps:
We crumple the newspaper and give it the shape of a ball. Then, so that the ball holds its shape, we wrap it with masking tape (for a more durable job, I wrapped it with rope). Now we need to attach a branch to our ball. To do this, cut a small hole in the ball, 2-3 cm deep, coat the twig with glue and insert it. When the glue dries, we begin to glue the ball. We will glue the cones first (they must be well dried, because if the cones are damp, they will not stick). Then we will glue the leaves. Next you can glue rowan branches, spruce branches, wolf berries and any other decorations that suit our autumn theme. Then we prepare the solution in unnecessary containers and pour it into a flowerpot with a tree. In order for the solution to dry, you need to wait about two hours. After we have made sure that the solution has hardened, we proceed to decorating the flowerpots. We cover the surface of the solution with spruce branches, cones and anything else. So our bright tree is ready!

Answer

DIY autumn ekibana crafts made from natural materials.

Ekibana is the traditional Japanese art of creating flower bouquets. Translated into Russian, this word, incomprehensible to us, means flowers that live. As a rule, the Japanese use exclusively live and, if possible, freshly cut flowers to create their floral sculptures.

But since we live in a country where it is not possible to grow fresh flowers all year round, our ekibana has been slightly transformed. In the autumn-winter period, florists and simply lovers of beautiful floral objects make it from all kinds of available materials. In addition to dried flowers and herbs, our people use chestnuts, autumn fruits and even rowan.

As you probably already understood, not only compositions made from fresh flowers have the right to be called ekibana. Therefore, if you wish, you can quite easily use any floral material. True, when composing these objects, one must remember that visually they should look as harmonious as possible.

Therefore, when choosing a material for your future masterpiece, try to ensure that it matches perfectly in color. That is why you must remember that ekibana is not just flowers in a vase. If desired, it can be secured in a basket, a large glass, a plastic container, or even in a pumpkin. The main thing to remember is that the container in which you will attach the floral material should not be very bright.

If it is noticeable, it will draw attention to itself quite strongly and, as a result, the ekibana itself will be lost against its background. And, of course, remember that such a composition should be as dynamic as possible, that is, it will be better if you try to install the material at different angles and create at least two-tier objects.

How to make autumn ekibana from leaves: preparation and volumetric compositions

Master class on making a bouquet

The creation of any floral object begins with the preparation of the material. If you ignore this stage, then with a high probability you can say that in the end you will not get exactly what you wanted. As for preparing leaves for autumn ekibana, the first thing you should do is prepare a beautiful and undamaged material, and first lightly dry it from street moisture.

After drying, the leaves will definitely need to be treated with a composition that will make them more pliable and elastic. To do this, you will need to dilute 220 ml of glycerin in 450 ml of water, and soak all the decorative material in the resulting solution. After it has been in it for 3-4 days, the liquid will need to be drained and the leaves should be blotted with a paper napkin. And only after they become elastic can you begin to make a floral object.

• So, first, prepare a vase, approximately 40 pieces of maple leaves, threads and beads for decoration
• Then we take the still wet leaves and begin to form a rose from them (the master class can be seen above)
• We make the required number of buds, and then begin to attach them to the stem
• It can be made from any flexible twig of brown or green color
• After your autumn roses are ready, let's start collecting ekibana
• To do this, pour sand into the bottom of the vase and start sticking the stems of our roses into it
• Having arranged all the roses, be sure to make them a so-called wrapper of beautiful maple leaves and, if desired, decorate them with beads
• If you don’t like this edging, you can easily replace it with a satin ribbon tied in a bow

Flat ekibana is an ideal option for schools and kindergartens. Some florists also call it foliage paintings and panels. Since in this case the leaves are attached to a dense base, all that will be required of you is to give them the correct shape and form certain shapes. If you wish, you can very quickly make a beautiful and airy butterfly, a small mouse, flowers from autumn leaves, or lay out a beautiful clearing.

But in order for you to get all these pictures, first you will need to prepare the decorative material. And if for a volumetric composition the leaves must be flexible, then for flat ones they must be as dry and even as possible. In view of this, all collected material will need to be properly dried.

So:

• The easiest way is to simply collect leaves of different shapes, tie them in small bunches and hang them to dry in a room with good ventilation. True, you must understand that in this case, when dry, the leaves will curl and will not be smooth and beautiful.
• If you want to get the smoothest possible material, then you can dry it with an iron. To do this, you will need to take a leaf, place it between two sheets of cardboard and iron it with an iron. This manipulation will need to be continued until all the moisture has evaporated from the material.
• If you have time, then put the leaves in a book and put it under a press. Open it periodically and let the moisture accumulated in it evaporate. If you are patient, you will eventually get a material that will retain both its color and its structure.

Vase of chestnuts

Chestnuts are an ideal material for autumn crafts. With their help, you can make some pretty cute toys for preschool and school-age children, as well as wonderful and, most importantly, exclusive interior decorations. Above you can see an example of how you can use chestnuts to make a composition called a beetle on autumn leaves.

Kids will definitely like this craft. You can also decorate a vase with this wonderful material (simply placing it on glue), and insert the same roses from maple leaves or dried flowers into it. Well, those who want to do something truly original with their own hands can try making a topiary from chestnuts.

• First, pour the gypsum mixture into the container in which your tree will stand.
• When it begins to thicken, install the trunk of the future topiary in it
• While it is fixed in plaster, start making the top
• Take a foam ball and cover it with chestnuts (be sure to cut them in half)
• Next, cut the corrugated paper into as small pieces as possible and fill the voids between the chestnuts with it (use glue to fix it)
• When the top is ready, fix it on the trunk and you can safely start decorating
• For this you can use dried flowers, small leaves, acorns, large beads

Autumn ekibana made from fresh flowers

Floral composition with leaves

Autumn motives

We already told you a little higher that ekibana is, first of all, harmony, so when choosing material for this autumn object, give preference to flowers that bloom at this time of year.

The best option in this case would be asters and chrysanthemums. And in order for others to understand that you have created an autumn composition, you can supplement it with leaves, grass and interestingly shaped branches that have already changed color.

Yes, and when composing an ekibana, remember that it is advisable to place the brightest and most massive flowers in the center of the composition, this way you will create a point that attracts the eye, but at the same time does not distract from all the other elements of the man-made object.

So:

• At the initial stage, think about what your ekibana will ultimately be like, and in accordance with this, select a container for it
• After this, take a special sponge for ekibana and adjust its size to the selected container
• Place the sponge in a container and fill it with liquid, which will prolong the life of living flowers
• In the next step, start preparing the flowers (cut their stems at an acute angle)
• After this, carefully stick them into the sponge and try to immediately give them the desired slope
• Fill empty spaces with leaves, grass and branches

Dried flowers are good because you can use them to create quite a lot of different objects. These can be bouquets, wreaths, paintings and original panels. The simplest ekibana, of course, is a bouquet. It can be done in two ways. If you prepare flowers yourself, then simply collect the plants that you like, make a bouquet of them, tie the stems well and hang them to dry in a dark, well-ventilated place (buds down).

If you do everything correctly, then in the fall your home will be decorated not only with a beautiful and pleasant-smelling composition. If you buy dried flowers and then make compositions from them, you will first need to adjust their stems to the same length, put all the flowers together, and then carefully look at whether all the elements of your ekibana are in harmony with each other.

As a rule, if ekibana is made from separately dried elements, then some of its parts stand out from the general visual sequence. If this happens to you, then just take sharp scissors and carefully cut off what, in your opinion, spoils the bouquet. After this, take a ribbon or thin twine and wrap it as carefully as possible around the stems of the flowers.

• If you need to attach a bud to a stem or form one large one from several small flowers, then do this using thin wire.
• If you need to secure a ready-made composition, then use medium-thick wire. It will help you connect all parts of the floral object together without damaging the delicate structure of the dried flowers.
• Well, finally, let's talk about artificial stems. If you need to make them, then take the thickest diameter wire and wrap it as carefully as possible with satin ribbon or corrugated paper.

Ekibana of autumn fruits: a basket of cones or acorns

Master class on making a basket

Basket from the box

In autumn, there is literally a lot of decorative material lying under your feet, which can be used to create an original autumn ekibana. For example, you can collect acorns or cones and make an original basket out of them, which can later be filled with dried flowers, fruits or autumn leaves. The easiest way to make such a basket is to take an ordinary small cardboard box and carefully cover it with pine cones or acorns of the same size.

You can use a piece of grapevine as a handle for this craft. As a rule, it takes a little over an hour to make all the parts of an ekibana, and after that they are simply connected to each other with wire. If you are willing to tinker a little, you can make a basket exclusively from autumn fruits.

So:

• To begin, collect cones or acorns of the same size and shape.
• If you wish, you can bleach some parts using commercial bleach.
• Next, start forming the bottom of the future craft.
• To do this, take 6 cones and combine them into a flower (if the basket is larger, then you will need 12 or even 18 cones)
• If you use acorns, you can connect them together at the butts, and then twist them into a tight spiral
• When the bottom of the basket is ready, begin to shape its depth.
• First, connect two or three cones together, and then form them into the wall of your basket
• At the next stage, using wire we connect all the workpieces together
• Add a grapevine handle to the basket and fill it with autumn apples, pears and rose hips

Ekibana - autumn fantasy in a basket

Ekibana idea #1 Idea for Ekibana No. 2

Idea for Ekibana No. 3

If you don’t want to make a basket yourself, you can take a ready-made one and turn it into an original autumn decoration. Both fresh and dried flowers can be used as filling. If you use live plants, for example, asters or chrysanthemums, then you need to ensure that they need to create favorable conditions that will help them stay fresh for as long as possible.

In view of this, you will have to insert a plastic or glass container inside the basket into which you can place a floral sponge soaked in a nutrient solution. If you use dried flowers for filling, you will need to stick them into the sand or simply attach them to the walls of the basket with thin wire. Now let's talk about the compositions that are most suitable for ready-made baskets.

I would like to say right away that they do not look very nice on low and sparse bouquets. If you want your ekibana to be as beautiful and original as possible, then try to create an asymmetrical composition that will have two or three tiers. If it turns out that you have flowers with a small stem, then make a continuation of the bouquet on the handle, simply decorating it with buds. This little trick will help visually lengthen your ekibana, thereby making it more noticeable.

Original Ekibana

Pumpkin is better than any other fruit for creating autumn compositions. If you want to make a similar craft with your child, then opt for a vase. This kind of ekibana is easy to do, but most importantly, it looks very impressive. If desired, you can additionally decorate it with bean flowers or simply make a very delicate and beautiful carving on a floral theme.

But, although such a craft is considered the simplest, it must be done taking into account some nuances. Firstly, you need to know how to choose the right pumpkin. Many beginning needlewomen mistakenly think that the larger it is, the more beautiful the ekibana will end up. In fact, the ideal option for creating an autumn composition is medium-sized fruits. As practice shows, they are the ones that have the most suitable shape for creating a vase. Secondly, you should never rush to cut out an opening that will imitate the top of a vase. First, you should think about what you will insert inside the fruit (a glass, a glass jar or a cut plastic bottle).

Once you understand what is most suitable for these purposes, take a ruler and measure the diameter of the container, and based on the data obtained, cut out a perfectly round hole. Yes, and if you want your vase to visually appear shiny, then cover its surface with glue, and then sprinkle it as thoroughly as possible with ordinary sugar. After it all dries, from a distance such a sugar coating will appear crystalline.

Most people associate a bouquet exclusively with flowers. But in the case of ekibana, you have the opportunity to deviate from the generally accepted rules and make it from beautiful autumn leaves, dried flowers and twigs. If you manage to arrange these decorative elements correctly, then in the end you will get a floral object that will delight you all autumn and winter.

True, you must take into account that in order for this to happen, first you will need to dry all the components of the ekibana as thoroughly as possible and only then assemble it. Yes, and remember, it is not advisable to combine flowers and dry leaves at the same time. Since these elements are very bright in themselves, visually they will look slightly extravagant. Therefore, it will be better if you supplement the twigs with either dried flowers or leaves.

Autumn Ekibana

Above, we have already told you how you can make original floral objects using autumn flowers and fruits. But while talking about them, we forgot, perhaps, about the most beautiful autumn fruit - the mountain ash. With its brightness and ideal forms, it can make any ekibana more attractive.

Therefore, if you think that your craft looks unfinished, try adding bunches of rowan berries to it. If you want rowan to be the main element of the ekibana, then try making an autumn wreath from it.

So:

• Cut the required number of rowan bunches, rinse them in water and air dry
• While this is happening, take a piece of vine and bend it into a circle of the desired size
• If desired, you can replace the vine with a ready-made circle from a florist store
• Be sure to prepare dried flowers, castings of different colors and thin satin ribbons
• When everything is ready, start making your Ekibana
• To begin, fix the rowan on the circle (it is better to place them all as close to each other as possible
• After this stage is completed, begin to fill the voids that have formed between the bunches
• Attach dried flowers, leaves and pine cones to them, and at the very end decorate the wreath with small satin bows
