Decorative flower baskets can be made in the form of a cornucopia, a large vase, a fan, a horseshoe or a lyre.
Previously, flower tables, or so-called jardanieres, were widely used to decorate residential and public spaces. They were usually made from wood, flexible branches, wire and metal. A low galvanized box was placed inside in which flowers were placed. It was believed that jardanieres were especially convenient for growing exotic flowers in spring and summer.

Holders and tattoos. They are widely used for flower arranging. Traditional metal tattoos come in different shapes and sizes, most often the base is made of copper, lead or steel. Metal needles from 5 to 7 centimeters or more in length are used for pricking cut single flowers and branches. A homemade tattoo can be made from a mixture of cement and sand (base), and ordinary nails can be used instead of needles.
Wire. It is used for attaching shoots and flowers in bouquets and baskets. It should be soft and white; its average thickness should be in the range of 0.25 - 1.5 millimeters.
Twine and threads. Necessary for making flower garlands and wreaths. For large floral designs, twine 2 to 4 millimeters thick is required. Strong yellowish-green threads are suitable for tying bouquets.
Ribbons (braid). Sometimes they are used to disguise wire when making bouquets and small flower garlands. Their color can be red, white, purple, yellow and green.
Knives. Necessary for cutting flowers and leafy shoots. They should always be well sharpened on a fine-grit sanding block and then pointed on the belt. Typically, garden knives are used, which are known as budding or grafting knives.
Scissors. Required for preparing materials (wire, twine, paper) and at the time of designing the composition.
Secateurs. Designed for cutting decorative branches, greenhouse and various garden flowers and plants. They remove small dry branches.
Plasticine. Used for attaching dried flowers and branches in winter bouquets. It is camouflaged with moss and leaves.

Beautiful DIY paper roses
They are extremely popular among crafts. beautiful roses made from paper with your own hands. The paper flower turns out to be very delicate; it can be used in home decor, to create cards, and to decorate gifts for any occasion. Anyone can make such a flower, even a preschool child, but first you need to watch the master classes of several simple ways.
The first method can be called the simplest; it will allow you to make a neat rose in a few minutes. And if you make a lot of such buds, you can make a bright spring bouquet that will delight you for a long time. The original use of such flowers is to decorate a gift box with their help; they can replace a lush bow.
For such a rose we will need thick red or pink paper, although you can make the flower in fantastic colors - blue or purple. The main tool for making all paper crafts is scissors; if a child is working on a craft, then he should be offered stationery scissors, whose tips are not sharp, but at the same time they cut paper perfectly. For fixation, we will use PVA glue, because it glues paper elements just fine, and even if a child spills glue or stains the surface with it, it can be easily washed off with warm water.
At the base of each rose there will be a paper square, its dimensions are 10 by 10 cm. For a smaller flower, accordingly, a smaller square will be needed. Now you need to draw a spiral on the square: it should start in the very center and end when the spiral reaches the edge of the square. You need to cut in the opposite direction, starting from the edge and until you reach the center.
As you can see, DIY paper roses quickly can be done, because this spiral is the basis for our rose, and now all that remains is to twist it. The core needs to be twisted more tightly, you can add a little glue to make it stick. The other end of the spiral must also be secured with glue.
As a stem we will use a dry tree twig, decorated with two green leaves, which can also be cut from paper. Several of these roses can take place in a vase, which will become a stylish decoration for your home in any weather, especially in the winter season, when there is a shortage of fresh flowers and bright colors.
DIY paper roses quickly
Another way how to make paper roses with your own hands, will also not take up much of your time. We will need the same set of materials as for the previous craft: thick paper of any color, glue and scissors. Instead of glue, you can use adhesive tape, with which you can quickly glue the paper together without waiting for the glue to dry.
A sheet of thick A4 paper must be folded in half lengthwise, and then in half again, again lengthwise, so we will draw the sheet into four stripes, all that remains is to unfold it and cut along the fold lines. It is convenient to cut paper using a stationery knife, but working with such a sharp tool will be unsafe for a child.
The cut strips must be glued together to form a long strip of paper. The ends of the strip must be glued together with glue or adhesive tape. This strip will become the basis of the future bud: let's start twisting it on one side, we need to get a dense core, and the rest of the strip should be folded in half and wrapped around the center, as shown in the photo tutorial. By wrapping layer by layer around the core, you will get a beautiful bud. You can make such a rose even from a white sheet, and paint the tips of the petals with paints.
DIY paper roses: master class
If this is your first time doing DIY paper roses, master class This tutorial on how to create buds from crepe will definitely come in handy. In addition to two sheets - green and red, you will also need a wooden stick or skewer for the stem, which can also be made from wire. Floral tape is used to decorate the stem. To draw the outlines of the petals you will need a pencil, and to cut them out you will need scissors.
The petal in this case will have the shape of a heart, since we need to cut out six identical hearts, we will need to make a template. The finished template on thick cardboard should be traced six times and then cut out. The size of the template depends on how large you want your flower to be. In this master class, the height of the heart reaches 15 centimeters.
If you use thin wire or wooden skewers for the stem, it is advisable to fasten the three pieces together so that the stem is strong. You need to decorate the stem with floral tape, and if you can’t find floral tape, you can use a thin satin ribbon and glue to secure it.
Now we need to start shaping the petals: first, you need to stretch them wide with your fingers; crepe allows you to give the elements a concave shape, which is very convenient if you want to create a realistic bud. Next, we will need a pencil, onto which you should wrap the top edge of each workpiece.
Next, you can form a bud: first, wrap the first petal around the stem and secure it at the bottom with tape or glue. Then, in the same way, you need to use the remaining petal blanks, wrapping them around the core.
But these are only the petals of our rose, and for it you should make another cup, using green corrugation for this. You need to cut a strip from the corrugation, then twist it into a spiral and slightly press in the middle. The petals should be glued in the center of the cup.
When we have several flowers on a stem ready, we can arrange a bouquet, for the decoration of which we will also make small green leaves. The leaves should be attached to the curved stem, and when arranging the bouquet, you will tie the leaves with floral tape to the main stem.
Unusual DIY paper roses
Sometimes, to create beautiful and unique DIY paper roses, photo templates may be needed. On the Internet you can find suitable blanks that need to be printed on a printer. In the photographs of the master class you can see what template we will need; you can draw it yourself on paper.
Scissors, wooden skewers, glue and a pencil are additional materials that we will use in the process of creating a beautiful flower. The paper we need should be thick enough, painted on both sides. Using a color printer, you can print colored blanks on a white sheet.
After you have printed them, you need to cut out all the petals and leaves. The ends of the petals should be bent using scissors. It is necessary to bend on both sides, and bend the leaves in half lengthwise. All petals on the printout are numbered; the numbers indicate the order in which the petals need to be attached to the skewer.
The petals need to be twisted sequentially around the base, fixing them with glue until they are formed.
DIY paper roses
The most popular material to make is corrugation. Its advantages include the fact that it is very thin; due to its wavy texture, the petals can be given a natural shape. Children enjoy working with corrugation; it is easy to cut with scissors and glue together.
This is not only a decorative element for your home, but also a wonderful gift for a loved one. A homemade candy bouquet will be an excellent gift for a teacher, but children must take part in the creative process.
We will need green and pink corrugations, but you can make buds in yellow, white or bright red. Scissors and glue will become additional tools for completing the craft, and we will use wire instead of stems. We will need as many pieces of wire as you want to make flowers for your bouquet.
You can make a flower by combining several shades of red: from a light pink center to bright red edges. Since the corrugation is very thin, it can be cut by folding it in several layers, so all the petals will be the same size and for this there is no need to prepare a template and trace it on the sheet several times.
The corrugated sheet should be folded several times in length, then in width, we will get a rectangle of a suitable size for creating petals. we will create heart-shaped petals that should be cut out, so at one time we will cut out eight blanks at once.
To give them a natural look, you can straighten them a little with your fingers and stretch them towards the bottom. From the green corrugation, cut a strip 3 cm wide, with which you need to wrap the wire, fixing it with glue. On one side we need to wind a spiral of green corrugation, which will become a cup for our future rose. Next, you need to form a bud by layering the petals.
