How to make a bouquet by September 1

September 1 is the most unforgettable holiday in everyone's life. For some it is “the first time in first grade”, someone just once again goes to boring lessons and funny changes with friends, someone just went from vacation to work, and for the parents of first-graders, this is generally a separate event for which they are preparing a whole a month or even more! You need to collect your child, put on the largest and most beautiful bows or iron the most snow-white shirt, teach how to collect a portfolio and, of course, give a bouquet of flowers in your hands.

Today, it has become very fashionable to give unusual bouquets of flowers, namely thematic ones - with rulers, pencils, class signs and so on. You can order such a bouquet in a flower delivery service, negotiate with the nearest flower shop, or do it yourself.
Especially for such a holiday, we have prepared a video tutorial for you, where the steps from stringing fruit on skewers to forming the package are filmed in detail.

What bouquet to make?

You can choose the option you like on the Internet, there are a lot of them now! You can be creative, connect your imagination and collect a bouquet that you come up with yourself.
It is better to choose seasonal components for the bouquet: apples, pears, grapes; flowers: chrysanthemums, eustomas, roses. So the bouquet will look more thematic (to the theme of autumn), the fruits will be tasty and ripe, and flowers are also easy to find in any stores or at home on a flower bed.
We took the simplest version of a thematic bouquet of fruits and flowers, the decor will be multi-colored pencils and a ruler. You can also add a colored paper airplane, various toppers, and lettering plates.
The bouquet was chosen on an average budget of 300-400 UAH, if you have fruits or partially flowers in stock, then you can collect such a bouquet with a budget of 200-300 UAH.

Training

We wash and dry the fruit. We clean the flowers: cut the lower leaves, cut off the stems so that all flowers are the same length. We cut the packaging into squares or rectangles, depending on the length of the bouquet.

We collect a bouquet

We string the fruits on skewers, if the fruits are very juicy, you should immediately string a piece of parolon on the skewer (you can cut it out of a kitchen sponge for washing dishes) so that the fruit sticks well on the skewer and does not drain.
We tie the pencils and the ruler with a thread with a scourge, this is not necessary, but this way the decor looks more stylish. Skewers to pencils can be fixed with narrow tape and covered with scotch tape or liquid silicone if there is a silicone gun.
When all the ingredients are already on the skewers, we begin to collect all the ingredients in a bouquet. We alternate fruits with herbs. We fasten the skewers and flower stalks together with tape. When all the components are already fastened together, we proceed to decorate the bouquet with packaging. You can choose a neutral craft packaging, then the bouquet will look more relaxed, or bright, juicy so that the bouquet looks more interesting and bright!
We form and fasten the packaging as shown in the video. Be sure to pay attention to the fact that it completely covers all the skewers and irregularities of the bouquet.
When the bouquet is completely ready, do not forget to take a photo of the finished piece and have a cup of tea or coffee and praise yourself with candy!
