A new autumn has come, and our golden autumn bouquet of roses made from leaves is becoming relevant again. This is just some kind of miracle! The reality of unreality - fold rose petals from a maple leaf!
The author of the idea of making roses from autumn leaves is my colleague, teacher elementary school Natalya Yakubova. Unfortunately, her lesson is how to make a rose out of maple leaves- was copied from us by many sites without indicating the authorship of these materials ...
We are happy to share this art with the readers of the site site.
So, a virtual lesson from Natalia: the sequence of making such a wonderful bouquet of roses from leaves, with my photos and comments.
At the end of the article - advice from our readers who have learned how to make a bouquet of roses from leaves.
How to make a maple leaf rose step by step
We collect suitable leaves (too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are NOT suitable for us) of various colors. For the manufacture of one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.
We fold the first sheet in half, across the central vein - so that the front side of the sheet is outside.
And now we turn this folded sheet into a tight roll. This roll will be the "core" of the rose.
Now, around this "core" of the flower, we begin to lay the "petals". To begin with, we take a sheet, and in its center we place a “core” (note that the front side of the sheet is inside the future flower!).
Fold this sheet in half. The edge of the inflection of the "petal" is located above the "core" by a centimeter and a half. Smooth out the fold of the sheet.
And now this protruding edge of the sheet is also bent outward, but the fold is no longer smoothed ...
We wrap the side edges of this double-folded sheet on both sides around the “core”.
We pinch the lower edges of the leaf at the very base of the flower.
We take a new sheet for the next "petal" and repeat the operation just performed. Only this petal is now located on the opposite side of the first sheet.
Next, we perform several similar operations, adding new leaves - now the petals are going into a bud. Add leaves until you feel it is enough to complete the flower.
When the bud is ready, we tie its base with threads to secure the flower.
How many flowers will be in your bouquet - you decide. For this "photo shoot" we had three ...
Making a bouquet
Now let's deal with the "greenery" of the bouquet framing our roses. The most beautiful and colorful leaves are suitable here.
So that these leaves do not curl up into a tube the next day when they dry, it is better to iron them beforehand between sheets of newspaper. After this procedure, they will become more fragile, but with careful handling they will not be damaged.
We evenly arrange the prepared leaves in a circle, placing them under the buds in the hand. Then we fix the now ready-made bouquet at its base with the same threads.
By the way, on top of the threads, it will be possible to wrap this knot with yellow paper teip tape ( masking tape). The tape will hide the threads and make the bouquet look neater and more complete.
Here is our autumn bouquet of maple leaf roses and ready!
I'll tell you a secret that I folded one of the three roses of this bouquet :)
But what advice did we get from the users of the forum site www.eva.ru:
“In order for a bouquet of roses from leaves to stand longer, it is necessary to smear the already twisted roses with vegetable oil (with a brush). The oil is absorbed in two days. The leaves become soft, do not dry out, do not lose color and do not shrink.
Tips from our readers:
“Indeed, flowers from the leaves lubricated with sunflower oil last much longer. Checked: our rosette has been standing for a year, and still the same beauty :)
By the way, in sunflower oil you can add a couple of drops essential oil. I added pine - I really liked the result. And you can take orange - it has been proven that it improves mood. Experiment!".
“Sunflower oil will eventually dry out and turn into a sticky drying oil.
Florists for use.
If you put twigs or leaves in a mixture of glycerin with water (3: 1, hot water), they will not dry out, but remain soft. The only thing is that an unpredictable change in the color of the leaves is possible.
Probably, you can grease the autumn leaves with pure glycerin for softness. Or liquid silicone.
“You can go to the flower department and ask to douse all this beauty with a special varnish, which cut flowers are treated when necessary and when not necessary.”
“You can process a ready-made bouquet of roses with ordinary hairspray :)))
I watched how they make a passe-partout from autumn leaves - they are covered with some kind of special glue that makes the entire texture of the leaf clear. Then all his veins become very distinct, and the color of the sheet plays.
“At home I have a can of varnish for flowers (well, for glossy leaves indoor plants shine better). So we covered our bouquet of 11 roses with this varnish, and it turned out really cool!
“I was able to secure such a stunning bouquet of autumn leaves with melted wax. Roses and individual leaves have not lost their color after such treatment and have been delighting us for the second year!”.
“We also sprinkled our roses with sparkles, and it turned out generally gorgeous!”.
“Last fall, I painted roses made from rose leaves with gold paint, and in winter I decorated the Christmas tree with them.”
Here's what happened:
“And we in Israel made roses from plane tree leaves.”
“We don’t have red-leafed maples in the area. I had to use wonderful crimson-red leaves and to perform miniature roses, and to frame the bouquet.
“Maple leaves for making roses must be large. Moreover, if the size of the leaves is different, then you need to start with smaller ones, because. for the growing volume of the rose, each time a larger leaf is needed.

Virtual lesson from Natalia. The whole sequence of making such a wonderful bouquet is in the photos and comments.
Naturally, first things first, we collect the leaves. Too small, dry, diseased, torn leaves are NOT suitable for us. We will use different colors.
For one flower, it is better to choose leaves of the same color.
We fold the first sheet in half across the central vein so that the front side is outside.
And now we turn this folded sheet into a tight roll.
This roll will be the core of the future rose.
Now around this core we begin to lay the "petals.
To begin with, we take a sheet and place a core in its center. Note that the front side of the leaf is inside the flower!
Fold this sheet in half. The edge of the inflection is located above the core by a centimeter and a half.
And now we also bend this protruding edge outward. But the fold is no longer smoothed ...
And we wrap the side edges of this double-folded sheet on both sides around the core.
We pinch the lower edges of the leaf at the very base of the flower.
We take a new sheet for the next "petal" and repeat the operation just performed, only this petal is located on the opposite side of the first sheet.
Here, several stages of the same type, shown above, are skipped, when the petals are collected in a bud. Add them until you feel enough.
When the bud is ready, we tie its base with threads to secure the flower.
How many flowers will be in your bouquet - you decide. For this "photo shoot" we had three.
Now let's go green. The most colorful leaves will do here.
To ensure that these leaves do not curl up into a tube the next day when dried, it is better to iron them beforehand between sheets of newspaper. They will become more fragile, but careful handling will not damage them.
We evenly put these leaves in a circle under the buds and fix the now ready-made bouquet at the base with the same threads.
On top of the threads, by the way, it will be possible to wrap this knot with yellow paper tape (painting tape), this will hide the threads and make it look neater and more finished (there is no paper tape in the photographs).
Here is the autumn bouquet and ready.
I'll tell you a secret, I folded one of these three roses. I think it's easy to recognize.
P.S. And here is some advice received from users of the forum on www.EVA.RU:

The well-known way to preserve the maple leaf by putting it in a book, unfortunately, is not suitable for preparing material for creating flowers. In this way, the sheet dries out and makes it quite brittle.
There are other ways to save maple leaves:

- The paraffin sheet should be left on newsprint to dry and absorb excess wax.
- The sheet may darken, but retain its softness, which is very useful for crafts.
- The sheet can also "bathe" in a solution of glycerin. To do this, dissolve half a glass of glycerin in a glass of water.
- The leaves are completely dipped and then tied and hung to dry. Dry the sheet should be about four days.

Today we will tell you and show you how to make “live” roses from maple leaves with your own hands. 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 remotely resembling 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 dispose of to form volumetric wrapped petals.
To make a rose from maple leaves with your own hands, you will need:
fresh autumn maple leaves (quite a lot);
sewing thread on a spool of any suitable color - beige, yellow, orange.
How to make roses from maple leaves with your own hands: step by step and affordable
First we take a leaf thin and small. We bend it in half, bending upper part sheet back. The fold should form on its own, it is not necessary to crush it, otherwise the sheet may tear at the fold, and if it survives, the bud will not turn out to be voluminous.
Now we turn this sheet into a tube. Soft and tidy.
We take the next sheet about the same size or slightly larger. In our work, we were more guided not by the size of the sheet, but by its color. I wanted the leaves in the finished rose to blend well with each other, but at the same time I really wanted to add colors 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 sealing the fold, everything should be natural.
We also bend down the left edge of the same leaflet.
So we formed a 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. For this third leaf, we also gently bend the right and left edges, 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 wrap the rosebud tightly at the bottom with the transition to the leaf stalks. We do not cut the thread, we do not break it, but we fix it so that it is convenient to work further.
As you can see, a small rose has already turned out.
But we do not give up and turn it into a full-fledged rose, adding and adding leaves-petals. It is important that the bent edges on the right and left do not converge at an angle in the center of the sheet, and there is free space between them. Besides, large leaves I had to tuck around the edges not once, but two or even three. In the process, the hands will “catch” the style of twisting maple leaf roses and everything will fall into place, even if the description seems not entirely clear.
The rose can be completed with a bed of leaves. You can arrange a bouquet around the perimeter, or you can frame each rose like this. Or leave the roses as they are.
A handmade maple leaf rose is ready. We hope our step-by-step master class was both understandable and useful.
This is what our roses look like two weeks after production - the leaves, of course, are already completely dry.
