When autumn comes and gives us a colossal variety of colors, we always want to join nature, decorate ourselves with its works. Against the background of yellow-orange leaves, very good pictures are obtained. And to look even more successful, it is best to use wreaths. Autumn head wreaths can be completely different. Here are different options creating wreaths, depending on the purpose of their use.

Precious berries

It is not without reason that women adorned themselves with flowers or leaves woven into their hair, especially on holidays. For each occasion, special wreaths were woven, each had its own meaning and at the same time served as an ornament. Before girls began to wear stones as jewelry, they weaved bright berries - viburnum, mountain ash - into their hair. Now we rarely think about what flowers and herbs woven into a wreath mean. Contemporaries wear wreaths mainly for events related to folk holidays, or to emphasize the heritage of Slavic traditions.

Autumn wreaths are the brightest, they were usually made for the holidays timed to the harvest, so not only flowers and leaves, but also fruits and ears of wheat were woven into them.

Therefore, the preparation for creating an autumn wreath will be different.

For a few shots during a casual walk through the park, it will be enough to weave together the stems of bright leaves that you find along the way.

For performances of choral or dance groups, in schools or kindergartens, when the wreaths should be the same for everyone, it is important to decide what you will make them from - from natural material or artificial. The most common and affordable material for an autumn wreath is Maple leaves... They are bright, voluminous and have a fairly long stem.

For contrast, it is very good to use rowan berries. They are dense, retain their shape and color well.

It is necessary to prepare these materials, as well as prepare the base - the rim on which the leaves and berries will be attached. It can be a piece of wire, decorated with thread, or old newspapers twisted with tape, wrapped in nylon tights.

Tie the leaves to the base with a strong thread, decorate with bunches of mountain ash. If there is a sufficient amount of other natural decorative material, then it can be used.

If you are preparing for autumn holiday, participate in a harvest festival, for example, or in a folk-style wedding, and you need a voluminous bright wreath, will help you step by step master class below.
