Autumn bouquet
To create a small flower collage for a school exhibition, you will need cardboard of a certain color, natural dried plants, a pencil and paper for sketching a sketch, scissors, tweezers, transparent glue, and brushes.
You can use a variety of plants that have been dried either in small bunches or individually, while preserving the stems.
Application execution sequence:
- cover the cardboard with fabric in autumn colors (it is advisable to use knitwear);
- for the bouquet, select non-voluminous specimens;
- Decorate the collected bouquet with floral ribbon;
- place the composition on the base, make two holes on the sides, and use wire to tie the product to the base;
- you can put flowers in a vase cut out of thick colored paper (as an option, use a piece of strong embossed wallpaper) and glued on top of the stems;
- Use beads, bows, small dried leaves and flowers as decoration.
Among other exhibits, a similar painting - an applique will take its rightful place.
The Internet contains a large number of photos of compositions of this style, as well as catalogs dedicated to various stylistic features of the applique. Therefore, suitable samples can be selected.
Flower meadow
The fabric applique attracts with its brightness. It can become a wonderful decoration for clothing, interior items, or an original souvenir.
The master class presented in the article will tell beginning needlewomen how to easily make an applique “flowers from fabric” with their own hands.
You need to prepare for work:
- sketch paper;
- needles, scissors, threads;
- glue;
- fabric (it is advisable to use different types of fabric).
Stages of work:
- Draw the petals (you can print ready-made templates or use flower-themed coloring books).
- Carefully cut out the blanks.
- Place the prepared samples on a cloth and secure with needles. Then draw the contours of the petals and cut them out, not forgetting to make room for hemming the edges of the parts.
- The edges need to be folded and ironed carefully. Make up a composition at your own discretion, first secure each element with needles, and then baste (for ease of work at the next stage).
- All parts are carefully sewn to the product using an invisible seam.
These appliqués can be used to decorate sofa cushions, summer hats, and dresses. The panel will look beautiful. To do this, take thick cardboard, stick green velvet paper on top and “scatter” bright flowers throughout the space and glue them.
The picture can be inserted into a frame under glass. An amazing gift, the price of which is the love of creativity.
Primrose and crocus – spring rebirth
Its name is translated from Latin - “first”. Primrose blooms in all the colors of the rainbow. People call it rams or golden keys. They say that these “keys” open the door to summer.
There is also a superstition that primrose can open hidden treasures. A maiden dressed in white robes and holding a golden key in her hand sometimes appears in the fields. And if you pick a primrose with her, the flower receives a magical gift of finding underground and opening treasures.
Simultaneously with the primrose, and sometimes even before it, the lovely crocuses open their blue eyes.

- flat buttons of various colors in two sizes;
- handicraft tools;

- Tighten the thread to form a bag.
- First sew a button of a larger diameter into the middle of the product, and sew a smaller button on top.
