How to make an autumn wreath with your own hands

Autumn wreath

Bright autumn wreaths adorn not only the entrance and interior doors. They can be made of a variety of materials, have the shape of a circle, oval, small convolutions. Graceful crowns of laurel leaves, colored paper, artificial foamiran, natural raw materials will perfectly fit into any interior style and become an original gift.

The basic rules for creating interior wreaths

When starting to create a wreath, several important rules should be considered. Its shape must be round. It is important to choose the right proportions of the diameter of the outside of the craft to the hole. The ideal option is if the diameter of the central hole is 1/2 or 1/3 of the size of the entire wreath. Dark felt, bezel, bumps used for decoration will visually reduce the decoration. A wreath made of light materials will appear larger.

Even a novice master far from floristry can make a reliable and beautiful craft. The product must be assembled tightly, with a clear distribution of the dimensions of all parts. When preparing the base, you must take into account the characteristics of the material. If it is a wide sheet of cardboard, the holes should be increased.

For decoration, you can use any floral scheme that does not distort the round shape of the craft. Decor can be enclosed in the body of the wreath, assembled with a certain grouping of the material, its uniform distribution. Also use a scattered decoration scheme when there are several groups of different heights.

If the wreath is collected on the base, its reverse side should not be visible. It is necessary to decorate absolutely all technical means (glue, wire, threads).

Preparatory steps for creating an autumn wreath

Wreaths of any type will be a great home decor in the fall season. They are suitable for decorating vases, central compositions and other elements.

Assembly, drying and preparation of autumn materials

Multilayer wreaths look very beautiful. To achieve the best result, it is necessary to use only high-quality, properly prepared material for work.Autumn presents with many bright colors. You can collect suitable elements for a wreath in a forest plantation or city park. Autumn leaves for the rim can be found in a variety of colors and sizes. Closed and open cones, maple leaves, rowan clusters, thin willow branches are suitable.

Depending on the selected materials, the rim will look very different. Leaves should be given the desired shape. If perfectly even elements are needed, they must be placed in a book and put under the press. For natural drying, leaves must be left in the open. Vines and thin branches are easier to work with while they remain flexible, so they should be soaked in water. Acorns, cones and other natural raw materials should be treated with silicate glue so that their shape is not disturbed in the future.

Making the basis for a wreath

The most important and difficult stage when creating a decorative rim with your own hands is the manufacture of the base. It should be practical, soft and strong. Depending on the material and the constituent elements of the composition, the type of base is chosen. More often use branches, paper, wire.

DIY autumn wreath

From branches

For natural crafts, you should choose a natural base. Suitable branches of needles, birch, vine. They should be long enough, young and always flexible. Dried material cannot be used, as it will become brittle and will deform during operation. Freshly cut branches need to be prepared a lot, so that in the process of weaving not to be distracted by the search and collection of blanks. Even a child can make the basis of branches. To do this, you need to work step by step in the exact sequence:

  1. First you need to sort by length all the material;
  2. Clear branches of needles, knots;
  3. Decide on the size of the future wreath and select the required amount of tree;
  4. Connect several natural blanks in the form of a circle with a rope, scotch tape;
  5. Gradually attach the remaining branches to the thin frame;
  6. Put a tight bezel under the press for 12 hours.

From paper

The weightlessness of the material allows the use of such a wreath not only for room decor, but also for wearing it on the head, thematic photo shoots of a golden ball. Making a paper backing will require many old newspapers or magazines. We divide them into separate sheets and twist each into a tight tube. A lot of blanks will be required, since in the process of collecting the base they will be stacked in layers.

When the required number of tubes is wound, we connect them into a circle with adhesive tape. To give the product density, it can be wrapped with elastic fabric, nylon tights. The ends of the matter are fixed with threads. Practical, soft base allows you to fasten absolutely any material, perfectly in contact with various types of adhesives.

From wire and old wiring

The main advantage of the wire rim is subtlety and miniature. This method of manufacturing the basics will make the wreath elegant and weightless. The option is suitable for assembling surround decor in several layers. It is used in instructions and workshops for the manufacture of decorations from maple leaves, felt, foamiran, spruce branches, large paper flowers, feathers.

For the manufacture of the basis for a wreath, 1.5-2 meters of wire will be required. We put it in several layers and form a tourniquet. Depending on the thickness of the material, the density of the winding is chosen. At the ends, you can make rings or lay them in the direction of the wire. Cold metal can be decorated with twine or tape. The work will be smooth and will not cling to the hair.

Ordinary wire can be replaced with a piece of old wiring. It is enough to bend it in size, cut it in the right places and connect the ends with tape. If the insulating layer of the cable product is intact, additional decor can be omitted.

From maple leaves

Weave a wreath of maple leaves in several ways. The easiest is to do it right in the park, without preparing the foundation. He will not be magnificent, but the work will take a minimum of time. This craft will not be durable and will fall apart in a few hours.

Making a wreath based on it will take longer. Time and labor costs are offset by good durability and high aesthetics of the craft. You can make a plain wreath or combine yellow, red, greenish leaves. In order for home decor or head jewelry to be symmetrical and durable, you should follow these steps:

  1. Choosing the right foundation. Thin wire or paper is suitable for wearing on your head. Leaves for a door wreath should be attached to polystyrene foam or branches.
  2. We lay out the prepared leaves in piles of 3-5 pieces in accordance with the size.
  3. We wrap the bundles to the base in a circle with a floral tape, scotch tape, threads.
  4. We hide the remaining legs under the leaves, imposing another layer of decor.

The size of the wreath must be selected in advance, since in the process of weaving the leaves it will be impossible to change it.

Decorative pumpkin wreath

You can make miniature pumpkins to decorate the wreath from textiles or use plastic figures. The first option is more acceptable, since it facilitates the fastening of elements and increases the reliability of the product.For work, you need a foam base, rags of different colors in autumn colors, a hollofiber filler or plain cotton wool, a small piece of green felt, multi-colored threads, tools for creating crafts (scissors, glue gun, needle, ruler).

First you need to do the basics. We wrap it with overlapping burlap tape, grab the ends with hot glue. In several places around the circumference, we also additionally fix matter. We draw several circles of different diameters on paper and translate the patterns on the fabric. We wrap along the edge of each workpiece and tighten a little. We fill the future pumpkin with filler and straighten the folds.

The resulting soft balls are placed on the wreath according to the idea. Now you can begin to form lobules. To do this, you need to make several stitches through the center of the workpiece. We cut out small green circles from green felt and cover the place where the needle exits. We attach the resulting pumpkins to the wreath with hot glue. We complement the composition with lace, dry spikelets.

Wreath of Autumn Fruits

You can create a natural wreath from the edible gifts of nature with apples, corn, dogrose and other vegetables, fruits with the possibility of long-term storage. For crafts, we will use apples of winter varieties, willow branches with green leaves.

We make the basis of willow twigs without clearing the leaves. We bend them, forming the desired size of the circle, we wind them in several places with wire. The wreath can be left in this form or additionally decorated with branches of barberry.

Now you need to consider how to fix apples. Since the product is natural and may later go into food, it is better not to use a glue gun. Also, methods that can violate the integrity of the peel, which will lead to rapid decay, will not work. A suitable option is double-sided tape. Fully wrap them with a wreath and lean apples.In the same way, you can decorate the wreath with corn and other dried autumn fruits.

Wreath of grass and cereals

Such a composition will be based on a vine base. You can use one grass, cereal or make a composite composition. To work, you need several bunches of aromatic herbs (lavender, bay leaf, mint, rosemary), a thin wire for weaving with beads, silicone rubber bands.

It is better to dry herbs for a wreath. But first, it is necessary to form bundles and give them the necessary shape. Bundles of fragrant billets are applied to the ring of twigs of grapes in one direction, we are wrapped with a floral ribbon. To make invisible gum, the beams are imposed by an overlap. When positioning grass based, you need to alternate different textures.

After the work with the front part is over, you can do the back side. It is necessary to mask the sticking out ends of greens, the ends of a wire and tapes. We twist them and set them in the basis of branches. Too long residues are cut with scissors. Now we determine the top of the wreath and pass through the vine a beautiful wide ribbon.

A wreath of acorns and chestnuts

Materials for such a wreath can be collected right at the entrance. From mid-September, chestnuts will lie right under your feet. There will also be no problems with acorns. A solid foundation should be prepared first. It can be twisted straw, branches, polystyrene. We wrap the blank with a brown cloth and glue the ends.

After the rim is decorated, you can begin to fix the chestnuts and acorns. We spread the product on a flat surface, apply glue to the fabric and immediately lean the natural element. Decorating the wreath must be done on all sides - inside and on the sides. The final decoration will be a small white bow.

Using dried flowers to create an autumn composition

Dried flowers are a very light material, so it is better to choose polystyrene or cardboard as the basis.Stunning compositions can be made from straw, ears, lagurus. Rustic-style wreaths with many different elements look especially beautiful.

Before you begin, you need to prepare all the materials. Collect dried flowers and ears in bunches, trim the ends and tie with a tape. We wrap the blank of the wreath with a cloth and glue the dry elements, alternating plant types and colors. After collecting all the crafts, the gluing places can be masked with sisal balls. You can add a wreath with a decorative bow and braid.

Wreath on the theme of "autumn" from felt

Easy to use felt is loved by many needlewomen. Soft, obedient material will be an excellent raw material for making beautiful wreaths on the theme of "autumn". You will need to prepare several sheets of different colors, floss thread, cardboard, beads for decoration and a piece of satin ribbon.

We start making crafts for kindergarten with the preparation of the basis. To do this, draw a circle on a sheet of cardboard - determine the diameter of the central part of the wreath. Mark the outer contours of the rim. We choose the width independently, depending on the thickness and density of the laying of felt elements. We cut the base along the external and internal contour.

Now the base needs to be decorated. Cut strips of yellow felt sheet and wrap the rim around them. You can fix the tape with glue or staples. We apply leaf shapes to multi-colored sheets, circle with a pen and carefully cut the desired number of blanks. We lay them out on several leaves and sew on. For decoration, you can use beads or beads.
