Autumn leaves can serve as a wonderful decoration for your home. Having collected a bouquet of maple leaves, you can put them in a vase, or make a beautiful composition with your own hands. This does not require you to spend long hours of painstaking work, but for a long time the craft will delight you with its beauty and fill you with pride in the work done.
Garlands and pendants
To make a cute pendant you will need 2-3 maple leaves, preferably of various sizes. Dipped in colorless varnish, dip in wax preheated in a water bath. Next, connect the leaves with a thread, not forgetting to leave the loop necessary for hanging the suspension on the wall.
A garland is made according to a similar principle, the shape and location of which depends entirely on your imagination (stand for a vase, additional decoration of indoor plants). If you combine several garlands, you get an unusual curtain.
Maple leaf wreaths
One of the most popular DIY crafts. A wreath is collected in the same way as a wreath of dandelions or daisies. For weaving, not one, but several leaves are taken, as a result you will get a voluminous and delicious wreath. Leaflets are preferably used with an elongated stalk. The finished composition can be varied with fir cones, bright ribbons, twigs and much more.
Interior decoration - candelabra and candles
To make an unusual lamp, you need dried maple leaves, stick to any glass jar. Then cover them with colorless varnish, and place a candle inside the can. Another option is to glue the candle itself directly with leaves (only thick candles are used), from the outside it will look like a real work of art.
Roses and bouquets of maple leaves
Roses are made from leaves simply, for this you need to bend the maple leaf in half and roll it up with a tube, and so we repeat until we form a rose, we fix the finished bud to the wire.
Bouquets are made of ready-made roses, wreaths are woven, and you can also decorate with them all kinds of products knitted from hard rods. To give the roses an original look, they are applied silver or gold paint.
Maple Leaf Tree of Happiness
Another extravagant composition of maple leaves is the Tree of Happiness. To build this craft, you need to fix the wooden reed inside the flower pot vertically, on top of the reed, fix the sphere of foam. Spread the leaves evenly over the sphere without disturbing its original shape. Complete the finished tree by inserting beads on the wire by inserting it into a ball. Fill the flower pot with sand, and decorate with beads. There is a legend that a do-it-yourself topiary brings good luck.
Home Compositions
After cutting out the wings of a butterfly in a fresh leaf, put it under the press. After drying, you will get one of the elements to create an unusual home composition. You can use such leaflets for decorating photo frames, for this just stick and cover them with colorless varnish. Weaving into braids you will get a unique, spectacular hairstyle.
To create an individual style of your home, a fancy plate with maple leaves made by yourself will help. You can get such a plate by wrapping it with cling film, an ordinary portioned plate and sticking to it in several layers of leaflets liberally greased with glue.
After that, after a certain period of time, completely dried leaves are separated from the plate and colorless varnish is applied. Passing a bright ribbon a plate can be hung on the wall.
