Compilation various options wall compositions made in the workshop of the company "Flora-Design"

You will need

  • - foam or oasis;
  • - a basket, tray, planter or any other form for composition;
  • - artificial flowers;
  • - wire;
  • - ribbon;
  • - scissors or a knife.

Instruction

To make an arrangement of artificial flowers, first of all, select and prepare the plants. You can buy flowers at the store or make your own. Remove excess leaves and twigs from plants, divide a bouquet of several flowers into parts.

Make a base for the composition, it is most convenient to use a special oasis for flowers or foam. Cut it into the desired shape and place it in a basket, in a pot, in a vase - in any shape that will be combined with the surroundings and flowers. You can hang it on the wall, in which case prepare a frame or weave a frame for the composition from the vine. If your composition will stand on the table, and the bottom of the basket is narrow, consider making it more stable. For example, you can attach a metal plate or other heavy object to the bottom.

Start with the tallest flowers, stick them into the styrofoam or oasis in the right place. Then move on to medium length flowers, making sure that each flower is clearly visible and blends with the rest. Lastly, decorate the front and surface of the oasis with short plants, and the base of the composition should not be visible anywhere. If, nevertheless, it is not possible to completely close the foam, fill it with pebbles, shells or sand (you can even glue it) or lay it with decorative hay.

To make a tall vase bouquet, tie your chosen flowers together. Grab the stem together with the end of the ribbon between your thumb and forefinger, and hold the remaining end of the ribbon with your other hand. Rotate the stem, wrap it with tape, gradually adding new flower heads. Then fasten the tape.

All flowers in the composition should be clearly visible, so strictly follow the levels. Reduce or increase stem length as needed. To increase the length, cut a piece of wire of the required length, attach it to the flower stem and tape it with tape (if the stem hides later). If it is in plain sight, find or make the same stem (can be cut from another, unnecessary or hidden flower) and fix it at the very head.

Tip 3: How to arrange artificial flowers

Ikebana is considered the basis of the art of composing flower arrangements. Meanwhile, the language of flowers existed not only in Japan. For many peoples, each flower was a symbol, with the help of a bouquet it was possible not only to declare love, but also to declare war. The modern composition of flowers does not carry such a serious semantic load, it is first of all beautiful and original.

You will need

  • - flowers;
  • - a sharp knife;
  • - water;
  • - pelvis;
  • - vase;
  • - basket;
  • - bouquet;
  • - floral sponge;
  • - wire.

Instruction

To compose the composition, it is better to cut the flowers yourself. Then you will be firmly convinced that the plants are fresh and have not been treated with any composition. Use a good sharp knife. It is better to cut plants in the early morning, before the dew dries, or late in the evening, when the sun has already set and the heat has subsided a bit.

Pour into a large bowl or tub of cold water and place the flowers in it. Make sure they are almost completely submerged. In any case, the stems must be in the water, even if the flowers remain on the surface. It is best to put the container somewhere in a cool place for one and a half to two hours, so the basin is still preferable.

Take the flowers out of the water and trim the stems a little. If you have cyclamens, chrysanthemums or carnations, cut 2.5-3 cm on the lower part of the stem. Dip the stem of a plant that secretes milky juice first for a few seconds in boiling water, and then immediately into cold water. They can also be burned. These plants include poppies, peonies and some others.

Sort the flowers by type and stem length. Try to have plants of approximately the same size in the same group. It is preferable to compose compositions if there are only three groups, while the shortest stem half medium, and the middle - half of the long. But other ratios are also possible.

To compose a composition, you need a base. This may be the most common vase. But you can make a bouquet and, and in the bouquet. In the last two cases, you will also need a floral sponge and a nutrient solution.

In an ordinary vase, flowers are usually not fixed. They are simply arranged the way you like. Try to keep the tallest plants in the center and the shorter ones on the edges. Then all elements will be clearly visible.

Can be placed in the basket polyethylene film, and put a floristic sponge moistened with nutrient solution. Flowers in this can stand for quite a long time. They are attached with wires to a special frame that you can make yourself or buy at flower shop.

To decorate your home with an original composition, it is not necessary to look for it in the store. , created with your own hands, will surely fill your home with warmth and comfort.
Materials that will be required in the process of work:
- transparent vase;
- colored chalk;
- fine salt;
- grater;
- glue gun;
- artificial flowers;
- bugs for decor.
Prepare crayons and a vase. Its surface must be clean and dry.

Grate the chalk on a fine grater. The powder should not contain large particles.


Mix salt and crayon powder in separate bowls. Depending on the size of the vase, determine the number of tablespoons of salt for each layer so that they are the same height.
Make colored salt using chalk is quick and convenient, but the color is not very saturated. If you want to get bright shades, then try painting the salt with gouache. It will take a little longer, but the colors will be richer.
First, take five tablespoons of salt and add 7 ml of gouache, some water and mix thoroughly. The color must be uniform. Then put the salt on thick paper and dry it. To speed up this process, salt can be placed in the oven.
You can mix as you wish. different colors and get unusual shades of paint.
If your salt is coarse, then it must be crushed. Place in a bag and carefully go over it with a rolling pin.

Now fill the bottom and pour the second layer. You need to pour with a spoon, first from the edges, and then in the center.
To achieve the effect of "weaving" the layers, use a cardboard funnel to fill the container.

Alternate colors and make sure that the layers are the same. To make them wavy, sprinkle a little more colored salt on one side. And when you cover everything with the next portion of salt, the position of the previous layer will be fixed.
During operation, try not to tilt or shake the container, otherwise the layers will mix and the boundaries between them will become fuzzy.
This is what a filled pot looks like.

Prepare artificial flowers. Measure the desired height and cut off the unnecessary part.

In order for the flowers to adhere well to the base, you need to fix the surface above the salt with hot glue. First, circle the rim of the vase with hot glue. This must be done quickly, otherwise the glue will cool and not be fixed.

Then apply glue in a circle and make sure that there are no gaps between the strips of glue.




AT this case the flowers were very tall and did not harmonize with the vase. Therefore, the stem of the flower is glued to the floral wire. So we have achieved the desired height of the stalk.
