Basket with flowers

Sometimes it can be difficult to make a bouquet correctly and beautifully, especially if you have no experience. In this case, the simplest basket will help solve the problem - it has always been and remains the best option for decorating a bouquet of fresh or artificial flowers. You don't need to be a florist to make an original one presentusing a simple wicker basket and satin ribbon flowers.



I suggest you try to make such a basket with your own hands. For work we will need the following materials and tools:
• Satin ribbons of bright colors
• Wicker basket
• Sharp scissors
• Fabric clip
• Candle or lighter
• A piece of green silk or satin fabric
• Needle
• Green threads
• A little foam rubber or cotton wool
• Beautiful beads or buttons
• Transparent waterproof adhesive.

First you need to make flowers, which we will then fill the basket with. We will make them from satin ribbons using the tsumami technique. kanzashi. Therefore, we will prepare satin ribbons five centimeters wide in different colors: pink, red, burgundy, purple, white or any other to your taste. You can make identical flowers - a basket with white or red flowers looks very interesting.The basis for the flowers is sharp kanzashi petals. For each flower you need to make seven to eight petals.



The prepared petals are glued onto a circle of thick fabric. As a base for the flower, you can take a circle cut from a satin ribbon. The edges of the mug need to be burned with the flame of a candle or lighter so that they do not crumble. A fairly large drop of glue is applied to the base, then the petals are distributed on it. After the glue has dried and the petals are securely fixed, you need to decorate the middle of the flower. To do this, glue a beautiful large bead or button in the center of the flower. Now the flower is ready. For the basket you need to make at least five of these flowers.



To place flowers in a basket, you need to prepare a special base. To do this we need a small piece of green silk fabric and a piece of cotton wool or foam rubber. Make a ball with a diameter of 5 cm from foam rubber or cotton wool and wrap it in cloth. Sew the edges of the fabric from the bottom with green thread.



We place the prepared green ball inside the basket and secure it with thread or glue. This is necessary so that the composition holds securely and does not fall apart over time.



Now that all preparations are completed, you can begin to form the composition. The flowers are arranged in random order on a green ball, which is placed in the center of a wicker basket. First, apply a little glue to the base of the flower, and then place it in the basket directly on a ball of fabric and cotton wool. All prepared flowers are placed in this way. Transparent waterproof glue will ensure reliable fixation, the composition will stick under any conditions.



Such a basket with flowers will be a good gift for any celebration, be it the birthday of your best friend or the anniversary of a respectable person.
