A wreath of leaves is an indispensable attribute of autumn photo shoots. The two most popular options are rowan and maple. We have prepared for you step-by-step master classes, from which you will learn how to weave such wreaths on your head with your own hands. This process requires perseverance, but is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance.

Instead of maple leaves, you can use any other leaves, and rowan berries can easily be replaced with viburnum or even artificial bright berries. The base for the wreath can be prepared in advance or you can use a regular hairband. However, you can do without everything altogether. This autumn craft some people use it several times – it won’t wither, but it will dry out a little. And if you plan to make a wreath for photo shoots for a long enough period, the base must be strong.

Wreath base

The first step is to decide on the base material. In this selection you will find several options: choose the most convenient one.

Option No. 1: from twigs

To make the basis for an autumn wreath on your head, select young branches. Willow, birch, pine and other trees and shrubs are suitable, from which thin, strong twigs can be easily cut.

We strip the branches of bark and make them smooth. To make a wreath of leaves beautiful, you need to make the base correctly - it should not be too big or too small. Measure the circumference of your head, but constantly estimate the size of the workpiece as you work.

Use twine to tighten the twig ring. Then start wrapping rods around this frame. Build them up gradually and constantly reinforce them with jute.

Make a tight wrap once you have finished braiding the branches and have achieved the desired thickness for the wreath rim. Place the workpiece under the press overnight.

Option No. 2: made of paper and nylon

This basis for an autumn wreath on your head will be made of lightweight materials, but you can rest assured of the strength and reliability of the design.

We have previously told you how to work with newspaper tubes. The principle is the same here. Cut magazines and newspapers into strips and roll them into tight tubes. Twist them together or simply glue them together. You can also make the base for the wreath using tape or sew these strips together.

To finally fasten the structure together, take nylon tights and wrap them tightly around the headband.

On such a blank you can glue or apply leaves, berries or other accessories from which you want to make your autumn wreath.

Option No. 3: made of wire

The good thing about a wire rim is that it turns out thin. This means that you can make the autumn wreath on your head more elegant and light. This is ideal for assembling small leaves in one or two layers.

The wire must be folded into one, two or three layers and intertwined with each other, twisting it into a bundle. Select the degree of winding depending on the thickness of the material.

Intertwine the ends of the wire and hide them. Wrap the top with twine or tape. This is necessary so that the craft turns out smoother and does not tangle the hair.

This wreath can be braided with leaves on top or the material can be glued directly onto it.

To make the wreath on your head more convenient, you can form peculiar loops at the ends of the wire. Then we will tie ribbons there and tie it with a bow. You can make this a unique decorative element: for example, add a wide red ribbon and leave its ends free.

Weaving pattern

As a rule, all head wreaths are woven according to the same pattern. It looks like this.

You can use flowers, autumn leaves, grass, dried flowers, rowan branches or any decorative material as a basis.

Additionally, the spaces between two adjacent leaves can be fixed with fishing line, thread or twine. Also you can use satin ribbon to make the wreath more colorful.

Maple leaf wreath

The most popular autumn option is a wreath of maple leaves. You can do it yourself quite quickly. Choose a warp from those described above, or weave without it.

The first step is to collect as many maple leaves as possible different sizes. Dry them a little if it's humid outside.

The thickening near the stem must be cut off from each leaf.

We take the first sheet and bend the bottom edge so that we get a parallel line with the “stem”.

Using a branch of the second leaf, carefully pierce the first one as if making a stitch with a needle and thread.

We fold the second sheet in the same way as we folded the first sheet before. Take the third maple leaf and repeat the procedure.

So we go around the whole circle. To finish the wreath, you must first try it on your head, and then pierce the first and second leaves with the stem of the last one.

If desired, you can make one or two more rows.

Rowan wreath

Weaving an autumn wreath from rowan berries with your own hands is also quite simple. To make it perfect, we suggest you look at a visual step-by-step video instructions. With its help, you can easily repeat the process of making this beautiful autumn accessory.

This wreath can be additionally decorated with any autumn leaves to make it even more elegant. You can also make it from only one rowan - large clusters look very beautiful.

We hope that now you can weave a wreath on your head yourself, and your autumn photo shoots or competitions will be even more beautiful. By the way, leaves made of colored paper or foamiran are often used for school crafts. If you need to make something similar, use the provided instructions and our selection of leaf stencils.
