BOUQUET AMONG WINTER WITH YOUR HANDS
Bouquets of their flowers are understandable and simple in spring, summer, autumn, but is it really possible to make bouquets of your plants in winter? The correct answer is yes. And as much as possible!
What's left in our garden? Coniferous plants, bare branches of deciduous shrubs and trees, especially with a bright texture bark (larch, durene, mountain ash, etc.). But there are also dried flowers, dried fruits, anise stars, cinnamon sticks, cones, nuts, aluminum wire, beads, woolen threads and much more that can be used. It is very nice to add candles to winter compositions.
Such compositions, as in the first three photos, are made on a floral sponge. In the container is placed a wetted sponge and in it are inserted twigs of a tree or fir. If the vase is glass, then fill the bottom with tinsel, balls, and only then put the sponge.
A ready Christmas tree com-position is decorated with cones, balls, tinsel or New Year's toys, dried oranges, branches with berries, cinnamon sticks. You can put a candle, for this on the bottom of the candle wind the wire and from the ends we make the legs.
Small components of the bouquet are attached to an inconspicuous wire. We take the cinnamon sticks in 3-4 pieces, bind them together with a woolen thread and attach a wire rod. You can come up with deceptions: for example, to glue a spruce or pine cone on an elderly stick, a cone-flower will be obtained.
As glue we use a hot glue gun or universal transparent glue. To give the branches a “winter” look, they can be held in a saturated solution of sodium chloride and dried - the crystals will resemble hoarfrost. You can paint branches and cones with white, silver or bluish spray paint, preferably acrylic (now there is a huge assortment of such paints in construction and hobby shops). Apples and pears can be candied and also used.

If there is a thaw and a part of the snow melts, we cut off the branches of the mahogany - She stands in a bouquet for a very long time. All conifers - spruce, pine, juniper, thuja, cypress - can be used, but not all at once. Winter bouquet is sophistication, restraint. One sprig of pine and a branch of viburnum with dried berries will look much more interesting than an armful of everything.
Since there are few flowers and twigs in the composition, the branches themselves should be interesting, maybe twisted, mossy. In size 1,5-2 times more than a vase, otherwise they will be lost in a massive vessel. It is better to use a straight high vase, it is easier to install branches.
Winter sleep can be exotic. Winter - the time of flowering phalaenopsis, the most common domestic orchids. A touching orchid looks amazing in combination with a moss-covered, lichen-covered driftwood.
You can make a simple composition of white phalaenopsis. Flowers directly in the plastic container, in which they usually grow, we place in a low glass vase-cylinder with branches coniferous plants, dried red berries, pine cones, cinnamon sticks, gilded branches and red, blue, golden balls.
Do not go past flower shops. The most familiar and inexpensive flowers will look great with conifers. White or yellow needle chrysanthemum and pine branch - this is a royal combination.
But even if there are no real flowers at all, this is not a cause for frustration. You can make a composition in a low wide vase without water, filling it with bluish glass balls and vertically placing the branches covered with salt crystals or artificial snow.

To ensure that the structure does not fall apart, the branched branches are supported by one another. It is possible, for stability, to pinch the pieces of wire in the crosshairs imperceptibly. If you want a color spot, add blue dew flowers, for example, a bluehole. But it should be quite a bit, not to "crush" airiness of the composition.
Instead of blue small balls, you can put a couple of gold glass balls. But then the dried flowers should be golden - good will helichrysum, more often called an immortelle. and fill the space between the walls of the tanks with white-painted branches, silvery or golden balls, stars, you can add LED lights (sold in stores for holidays and are inexpensive).

SPRING BOUQUET OWN HANDS - MASTER CLASS
© Author: Design, text, photo - Anastasia STRICKER
Not a single holiday can do without flowers - whether they are fresh flowers or dry ones. We give bouquets to loved ones, bring a pot of cyclamen to a newborn, decorate a wedding with roses - and indeed, every solemn event in our life is inextricably linked with flowers. What can we say about the spring holiday on March 8, when nature itself awakens from hibernation and gives us its first flowers.
Delight your loved ones with an unusual spring composition of daffodils and white and pink tulips, symbolizing pristine purity. The whiteness of the flowers is set off by a wreath of birch branches and green foliage. The accent of this composition is grapes and apple. So let's get started!
WE WILL BE SENTENCED
- 20 tulips
- 21 daffodils
- 2 apple
- Branch of green grapes
- birch branches
- Salad leaves
AND
- flat plate
- Floral foam Oasis
- Tape tape
- Sticks for barbecue
- floral line
- decorative apples
- green beads
STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE
Wet Oasis Floral Foam with water.
Since we are using a flat plate and our foam can easily come off it, we need to secure it. We do this crosswise with the help of floral tape or teip tape.
From birch branches we twist two rings of different diameters. We fix the branches with fishing line in several places.
One ring (lower) should be equal to the diameter of the plate, and the other (upper) should be such that it fits tightly on top of the floral foam.
We insert the leaves of salal in a circle. With them we will “close” the plate.
We “plant” our rings of branches from above.
From the wire we make 8-10 hairpins.
We fix them with rings in several places.
In order for our fruits to stay in the composition, you need an apple
"plant" on half of the barbecue sticks. The tail of the grape branch with the help of a fishing line also needs to be screwed onto a barbecue stick.
We place the fruits in the composition, fill the remaining space with flowers and salal leaves, not forgetting the gap between the two rings of branches.
We twist small rings from birch branches, leaving a long end in order to insert them into the composition. We fix in several places with fishing line.
We put them in the composition.
And in the center of the composition we insert long branches of birch.
Our composition is ready!
It will perfectly decorate any interior and breathe spring into your home.

DIY cosmo bouquet
From ordinary wire and balls I made an original decor for a floor vase. I want to share an idea.
It took: 2 mm wire ping-pong balls superglue shovel handle spray gold paint thinner.
1. I cut the wire into pieces of about 180-190 cm. Thoroughly wiped each bar with a solvent and a rag (photo 1).
2. Using a round handle, I gave the blanks a bend, alternately wrapping them around the piece of wood (photo 2, 3) (I have 15 pieces).
Z. In ping-pong balls with a clerical knife cut holes on two opposite sides (photo 4) Then strung them on a wire and fixed the position with superglue (photo 5).
4. Painted with gold spray paint. The cosmic bouquet is ready!

In my opinion, to give blooming lilies of the valley for the New Year is a great idea! It was on the New Year holidays that I had not yet grown flowers, but by March 8 I had already tried.
And then I did it. So I did.
1. Rhizomes from the cellar must be got for 3 weeks before the holiday. There should be no rot on the rhizomes. Clean the kidneys gently.
2. Fill the soil with the note "For seedlings" in the container, filling it approximately at 2 / 3. Top with vertical buds with rhizomes.
3. Between the rhizomes pour the soil (no need to fall asleep!). Drizzle with warm water.
4. Above the buds lay sphagnum, so that moisture evaporates less. Cover with a plastic bag and put to the battery (the temperature should be about 30 °).
5. When the leaves start to appear, remove the package and move the container with lilies of the valley to a bright room, but not under direct sunlight.
Through 3 weeks, lilies of the valley can be given!
