This decoration is made of satin ribbons. The bouquet consists of two cornflowers with a bud and two daisies.

To work on the product we take materials:
- satin ribbon 2.5 cm wide, blue and green.
- narrow white ribbon 1 cm wide.
- PVA glue.
- candle.
- scissors.
- regular black thread.
- floral wire.
- glitter powder or beads.
- glue gun.
- large hair clip.
-foil.

Let's start making petals for cornflowers, we have two flowers and one bud. For one we cut 11 strips 5 cm long, and for a bud another 3 such pieces.

We process the sections of each strip first over a candle.

We place the workpiece along its length, lift the lower corners up to the middle, overlapping each other slightly with an offset. The result is a triangle.

Then we bend one corner of this triangle in front again to the middle.

And we bend the second corner towards the middle, but from behind. We get an even smaller triangle.

Now this workpiece needs to be secured. We bring the lower corner of the fold to the candle, warm it and press it with our fingers. And the upper corners will be free. We get one petal from one strip.

For cornflowers with a bud, we make 25 such blanks. And for daisies, take a thin white ribbon and cut 24 strips 6 cm long.

Above the candle we alternately fasten the bent strips in half. Cut out two circles with a diameter of 3 cm. The petals for the daisies are ready.

Now for the leaves we take green ribbon. Cut 10 strips of 6 cm each.

We cut each strip diagonally from the bottom corner to the top, we get two leaves.

We also melt these leaf blanks over a candle so that they do not become shaggy. And in the wide side of the workpiece we make a fold, turn the corners towards the middle of the sheet and secure it over the fire. We process all the leaves in this way.

For a cornflower bud we take 3 blue petals, two green pieces of 6 cm each, rounded at the bottom and 4 corner leaves.

Let's start assembly. Take a piece of wire 8 cm long and glue it with a strip of corrugated paper with PVA glue. You can use tape. We make a ball of foil measuring 10 x 10 cm and attach it to the wire. And onto this blank we glue two green stripes with a rounded bottom using a gun. We twist the free upper edge like in a candy and secure it.

We attach 3 blue petals to the middle of the green bud.

Now let's start assembling the daisies. We take a circle with a diameter of 3 cm and attach white curls from a thin ribbon to it with a glue gun, making the first row of 6 blanks. And we glue the remaining 6 pieces with a second circle, placing them in a checkerboard pattern.

All that remains is to decorate the middle with beads or glitter, attach them with PVA glue.

Let's start with cornflowers. We also collect them into a circle with a diameter of 3 cm. We glue the petals in two rows, leaving the middle free.

We will make the stamens from simple black threads. We wrap many turns around two of our fingers and remove them. Connect the resulting circle in the middle and fold it in half.Then we secure the connection with a thread at the bottom, we get a tassel. We trim the edges evenly.

We glue this tassel into the middle of the cornflower.

Then we coat the edges of the brush with PVA glue and dip it into the glitter, shaking off the excess.

Now all the preparations have been collected.

All that remains is to add leaves to all the flowers. To the cornflowers we add one piece of 4 leaves, glued on top of each other in the lower corner. And we glue it to the flower in one direction.

The cornflowers are ready.

For daisies, glue two leaves together from the bottom. There will be 3 blanks, fasten them in a circle.

Now all the flowers and leaves are ready.

We take a large hair clip and begin to attach flowers to it one by one. We immediately glue ribbon clips to each flower with a gun, placing them through the inside of the clip to the flowers. First we attach a bud to the narrow edge, then we place one cornflower next to it. Next will be chamomile.
