What is autumn? These are leaves! Leaves under the guys' feet! With the arrival of autumn the cold weather comes and we especially want warmth and comfort. You can make the interior of your home more comfortable 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 the fall; this could be a vase or candlestick, since pumpkins come in all sizes and shapes. They can simply be painted in bright shades with a golden tint.
You can also complement the interior with a tablecloth warm shades and soft carpet.
Bouquets of autumn roses look incredibly beautiful - these are roses made from autumn leaves.
Let's look at how to make them. Colors associated with fall are yellow, burgundy, red, brown and warm orange.
For autumn rose Leaves of maple, ash, and wild grapes are best suited. If you want to make a lush rose, it is best to choose ash leaves. The leaves must be collected from the tree, they are not brittle and they still have moisture.
The splendor and size of an autumn rose depend on the number of leaf petals.
1. Collect multi-colored, large, not dry leaves directly from the trees.
2. Fold the leaf in half, while 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 to one and a half centimeters above the core.
6. Once again we bend the leaf outward; the bend line does not smooth out.
7. We wrap our roll on both sides.
8. In this way we collect the next autumn rose petals.
9. We assemble the lower part with a leaf and attach it with threads.
10. For greenery, take the most variegated leaves. First we iron them with an iron between the paper. Then we carefully decorate the bouquet with them using tape.
11. Our rose from autumn leaves is ready!
Today we will tell you and show you how to make “live” roses with your own hands 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 vaguely reminiscent of 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 suggest using both important qualities maple leaves: their strength and large area, which we will use to form voluminous wrapped petals.
fresh autumn maple leaves (quite a lot);
sewing thread on a spool of any suitable color- beige, yellow, orange.
First we take a thin and small leaf. Bend it in half, bending it top part sheet back. The fold should form on its own; there is no need to crease it, otherwise the sheet may tear at the bend, and even if it survives, the bud will not be voluminous.
Now we roll this sheet into a tube. Soft and neat.
We take the next sheet of approximately the same size or a little larger. In our work, we focused more not on the size of the sheet, but on its color. I wanted the leaves in the finished rose to fit well with each other, but at the same time I really wanted to add color 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 compacting the fold, everything should be natural.
We also bend the left edge of the same leaf down.
This is how we formed the 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. We also gently bend the right and left edges of this third leaf, 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 tightly wind the rose bud at the bottom, moving to the stems of the leaves. We do not cut or break the thread, but we fasten it so that it is convenient to work further.
As you can see, a small rose has already turned out.
But we don’t give up and turn it into a full-fledged rose by adding and adding leaves and petals. It is important that the folded edges on the right and left do not meet at an angle in the center of the sheet, and that there is free space between them. Besides, large leaves I had to tuck the edges not once, but twice or even three times. As you work, your hands will “catch” the style of twisting roses from maple leaves and everything will fall into place, even if the description seems not entirely clear.
The rose can be decorated with a bed of leaves. You can arrange the bouquet around the perimeter, or you can edge each rose this way. Or leave the roses as they are.
Your handmade rose from maple leaves is ready. We hope our step-by-step master class was both clear and helpful.
This is what our roses look like two weeks after making them - the leaves, of course, are already completely dry.

TO autumn holiday or for Teacher's Day, you can make roses from maple leaves with your own hands. Thanks to the bright colors of the leaves, which can be pale yellow, bright golden, orange, red, green, the bouquet will also appear in a new guise every time.
Depending on the structure of the leaves, the end result is not always the same or expected. Soft, thin leaves produce more defined layers and crisp roses. And it happens that the sheet is hard and cracks during work, so the layers of the bud will not be so pronounced, not very clear. But in any case, the bouquet is beautiful and interesting.
Prepare the center. It may be from a small leaf.
Turn it with the front part facing you, then fold it in half, bending the top back.
Roll into a tube, starting from the right or left side. For convenience, you can secure this roll a little with tape.
This is the core of the rose, and the bud needs to be arranged around it. To do this, take another sheet, as in the previous case, fold it in half, then slightly, about 1 -1.5 cm, bend its top back and wrap it around the core. It’s like throwing a blanket on or starting to swaddle a baby.
And then everything is the same. Take the next leaf, a little larger than the previous ones, and wrap it around in the same way, forming a bud. Only in each subsequent case this must be done from the opposite side. That is, you wrap a sheet around the core, pinch the converging sides with your fingers, and then start the next sheet in this area so that the ends meet on the other side. So you need to add about 5-6 leaves one by one. You can do less, but then you will get very small buds. However, they may well also be part of the autumn bouquet.
While working, you need to tightly squeeze the stem near the leaf itself, since the bud always strives to open. As soon as the last one was added, the most large leaf ik, you need to wrap all the stems thoroughly with threads. Just wrap thoroughly from the base to the middle. If desired, the flower stem can be wrapped in beige, green or yellow corrugated paper.
You can make any number of flowers, from three or more. Then put them together and also wrap the stems with threads or tape.
Finally, the bouquet is complemented with whole leaves, which can be of a variety of colors. For shine, you can apply it to each bud sunflower oil, just a little bit, one drop is enough. That's it, your DIY maple leaf roses are ready.

Multi-colored roses made from colorful maple leaves The secret of a resilient maple leaf flower is soft sheets , which have not yet dried out enough to break and burst. Fresh green leaves also roll very well.
Those maple leaves that are collected in November are good for crafts - high humidity air and frequent precipitation do not allow the sheet to dry out.
Each leaf you roll to make rose petals should be... consolidate. This is done with a regular fine sewing thread or tape. Just pull it tight without tying it in a knot. How to save maple leaves for crafts?
Everyone known method preserving the maple leaf by putting it in a book, unfortunately, is not suitable for preparing material for creating flowers. In this way, the leaf dries out and makes it quite brittle.
There are other ways to preserve maple leaves:
Hello! It's October. The aspen is about to turn red. Which means it’s time for roses and autumn leaves! For the brightest and most fabulous rose, in my opinion, comes from aspen leaves.
However, we will tell you step by step instructions using the example of our rose, which we made in September. At this time there was no smell of aspen leaves yet, and in general it was difficult to find red leaves.
As a result, we collected: three randomly reddened aspen leaves, a lot of maple leaves - very bright, but very susceptible to all sorts of lesions and darkening of the leaves, and a lot of loach leaves burgundy color. That's all we found, and we ended up with a rose like this:
That’s what we’ll tell her today.
Despite the fact that I have last year’s one in my arsenal (by the way, that’s where the aspen leaves are, they’re so bright!), this time we used a couple of chips to improve the craft and, as you can see, this rose of ours, cultivated with her own hands she turned out to be a more perfect person.
So. Let's begin!
Pictures can be enlarged by clicking
First of all, take a straw. We put it on the upper part of the stem and cut it so that our rose and receptacle (that green cup with leaves from which rose petals stick out) fit on the tube.
Now we remove the tube. And we begin to form the flower on the tube.
To do this, we take a leaf and cut out a petal from it. Like this.
And now we wrap the petal tightly around the tube.
We do not turn the first petal outward. Better yet, use a thin stick to tuck the edges of the leaf nicely into the tube so that the hole for the juice is not visible.
Yes! We place the petals with the beautiful side inward. So that the turned away sides are bright.
We cut them out too. Only now we turn away the edge, and then attach it to the rose. WITH different sides. And fix it with an elastic band. You can - every petal. You can - several pieces each.
here we have already bent the very first petal inside the tube
Actually, this is exactly what we use the straw for. You can form a rose directly on the stem, as we did last time, but fixing the petal with an elastic band will be much more difficult.
It turned out like this.
Place the rose on the stem.
If the tube does not fit tightly, first pour PVA into it.
Yes! For those who don’t know, PVA will dry and become transparent! Don't worry about white streaks.
We form a receptacle.
To do this, we cut out such a blank from a green maple leaf. 
We wrap our bud at the bottom so that at the top (under the flower) we get green protruding leaves-a crown. Secure with an elastic band.
Now we form a green wrap around this crown to hide the elastic band and protruding edges (for some reason we didn’t take a photo of the process. At the end on last photo you can see what the receptacle looks like after “wrapping”. If it’s not clear, look there).
To do this, cut a long tapering strip from a large green maple leaf (say from 2 cm to 0), stick it on one side with double-sided tape, cut out the strip and, removing the protective layer from the second sticky side, wrap our bud nice and tightly at the bottom. We start from the wide edge.
I doubt, of course, that everyone will now rush to do the same (it’s a long process), but I’ll tell you for those interested.
We covered the potting base for the seedlings with a layer of papier-mâché, forming a beautiful pot.
Then they coated it with a layer of PVA and, having scattered the mixed lentils in a tray, thoroughly rolled the pot on all sides.
And they left the pot alone. It needs to dry for several days.
If you have a rose in a vase, then you don’t need this at all.
We fill the pot tightly two-thirds full with papier-mâché and stick a rose into the mass. The rose holds up perfectly in papier-mâché.
We used black taffeta. Again, it is indicated more specifically.
Why hairspray? Verified.
But when we tried to pour a professional spray on a rose acrylic varnish For various surfaces– the rubber bands that held the rose together have corroded everything! That’s why I suggest taking something that probably won’t harm the rose.
We varnished the rose, the stem, and the pea too.
All is ready!
Our rose is already decorating our eldest daughter’s classroom and will look like a real living rose in a pot for a long time to come. Last year's rose, in my opinion, stood until spring.
That's all. Happy creativity everyone!
