Winter roses

Send

The ignorance of where artificial flowers wandered into the house can become the basis for an unusual New Year's bouquet of roses and cones.

Such a light and elegant winter bouquet can be placed in the center of the festive table, decorate it with a window sill or fireplace, and in the end, present it as a festive decoration to friends. A composition with white roses and silver-plated leaves will complement the New Year's decor in blue and silver tones. If the main decorations of the Christmas tree and the room are in red and gold, it is better to gilt the leaves, and take warm shades of roses. Instead of artificial flowers, you can use fresh flowers, but then you need to insert the buds into the floral foam, and, of course, such a bouquet will last no more than a week. Decorate the top of the composition to your taste with glass beads or beads on wire. These decorations can be left on New Year's Eve, and then removed, so you get a more everyday option.

YOU WILL NEED: • 3 white artificial or live roses; • a transparent glass vase in the shape of a cylinder; • birch branches up to 1 cm thick, about 50 cm long; • fir cones and twigs; • larch cones on a branch; • thin wire; • white beads, beads or bugles; • instant gel glue; • silver paint in a spray can; • hair spray; • coarse salt.

1. Decorate birch branches with thin beads, fix them on the ends with glue. Put the branches in a vase, and pull on top with wire, rubber or fishing line.

2. Remove the leaves from the roses, shorten the stems to 5–7 cm. Spray the varnish from the spray can onto the flower, then dip it in coarse salt - it will become “snowy”.

3. Paint a few leaves of roses and fir cones silver with spray paint. Let it dry.

4. Attach the buds to the branches with rubber or wire. Under them, fix the green and silver leaves. Glue cones and spruce branches in the center of the bouquet.
