Podstawy tworzenia kompozycji z kwiatów sztucznych // Stroik na cmentarz krok po kroku

I'm returning to basics today I'm warning you - there will be a lot of talking Subjective observations and experiences It is not the only true truth just my own way of making artificial flowers You can agree with it or not you can criticize it or praise it I have been self-taught from beginning to end I don't imitate others I don 't copy I am at most inspired I'm going my own way and working in the most convenient way for me Alright to the point Perhaps this knowledge will be more useful to one person and less to another but due to the large number of questions regarding It might seem that the things are clear simple and understandable to me I decided to make a video in which I will explain everything literally what how with what to what why for what It's not clear and simple for everyone as clear and simple as I would like it to be If someone finds this knowledge unnecessary they don't have to waste their time with me I will show you today how to make a standard bow with a bouquet to complete the look Also what to stock up on for working with artificial flowers what I use which makes the work easier The sole of the shoe should have no holes so that the cement does not leak out simply It should be worth the same but it will be easier to handle Of course you can also manage with one that has those holes They can be sealed for example with hot glue or covered with a piece of foil and just be careful that the water that might get through does not cause damage She did not soil or damage the table or the floor Regarding sealing holes with hot glue I'll stop here for a moment because there are a few great indispensable gadgets Which in my opinion are essential in this work and certainly already make the work easier The only one of them is exactly a glue gun It's worth getting one Even if we make the arrangement with artificial flowers only once or twice a year The base of every arrangement is cement Not concrete although why not Not plaster not just floral foam but cement A 25-kilogram bag of pure cement costs on average between 9 and 14 zloty We use it in the following way And once again this is my way I have no idea if it's professional or in line with the art of construction and I don't even want to know because it works First water preferably cold and clean But I usually use a raincoat so it's neither cold nor clean I'm adding cement gradually How much I won't answer that because I do it by eye I add mix add until the cement 's consistency is thick enough I can easily fit sticks with flowers in it It's not uncommon for everything to float And not too thick so it doesn't set too quickly before it's done Cement dries very quickly so it's best to prepare it as much as possible outside I usually make it in a larger bucket and pour it into the pots but if such a large quantity is not needed You can safely do this in one pot Yes I use a wooden kitchen spoon for mixing Someone might accuse me and in fact rightly so That I do everything carelessly that I don't know anything and that I will teach others And I will answer that since something can be done in a simple trivial way Why not do it if it's not necessary to have a profession for it I have exactly this method and I try to pass it on to others The lumps are there but it doesn't matter and it will harden anyway Why not use plaster Because it may turn out that after a heavy rain White plaster will melt and ooze staining the white cloth Sometimes I put a piece of floral foam on top of the cement this one with green flowers It makes it easier to drive in the stakes and secure them in the desired location but also hides the gray cement I cut it into smaller and larger pieces because I use pots vases or baskets of different sizes Then I compulsorily embed it in cement around the sponge and also small spruce branches above it This is basically a wire with green hairs imitating those twigs The wire that is easy to bend Burning branches create something resembling grass It may seem like an unnecessary expense or effort but I assure you that it is a rather important step People who sell artificial funeral wreaths on a daily basis or simply other arrangements of artificial flowers They know that for customers what is visible between is very important even sometimes with boldly open flowers and leaves I use it for aesthetic reasons To hide the gray ugly bottom of the composition which can be called the bottom We would have to beat a lot of green branches or a lot of flowers Each composition changes its shape under the influence of atmospheric conditions such as rain wind and sun He wanted he didn't want and suddenly might start exposing something unattractive so it's worth considering from the very beginning o hide the green These are the standard leaf buds Triple ones come in various shapes Better or worse imitating real plants It is much easier to work with small leaves Whether it's Beniamina or for example Fikus roses or grapes I usually divide each of these branches into three parts using pruners which I might add are also worth having But not everything can be cut with scissors These branches have a wire inside So you can easily shape them for example I also cut back the longest branch and don't remove those tips You've probably already seen it by now How much can they be needed Basically every leaf every flower every petal is worth keeping I place the leaves deep into the cement I try to make them touch the bottom first A pot may eventually be slightly submerged Yes so that they are sure they are set in the cement It will sink into it with a smaller surface area the greater the risk that a gust of wind could carry it away The more branches and leaves the more interesting it becomes The whole will look solid compact dense and rich There will be no trouble and no modesty A rather interesting observation When composing the outfit it is worth focusing on So that it would look best from above Not necessarily from this perspective The one you see on your screens The tombstone reaches at most to the level of the knees So from her level the stroke should look best These are my flowers Flower heads are called craft flowers They are attached to a craft wire It has special ends that grip the head firmly You can further strengthen this connection with hot glue but it is rather unnecessary The wire is thin So I consider it necessary to cut off his ends to prevent him from emerging from the cement Additionally by bending we adjust the height at which we want our flower to be If we do not regret the greenery at the beginning then when adding flowers we will encounter no problems On the contrary it will be a great fun When there are few leaves we have to think How to fill in the gaps and how to make the composition take shape In this case the leaves themselves have given the bouquet an interesting shape and the flowers only enhance it A pure pleasure and great fun Important thing When we cast all the elements in concrete which we have set aside for this purpose We leave the mold for several hours and make no adjustments The cement is already quite compact at the final stage of the work so every single correction pulling inserting moving branches causes the formation of significant voids in the cement which may no longer set Even if it seems we've erased this dress or that we could have done something differently there's no need to worry Just wait Because when the cement hardens and everything is immobilized you will be able to drastically change the final appearance I'm starting with the beech It is usually made in such universal inserts Universal for modern monuments Unfortunately for those of the old type new inserts may be slightly too high But this can be managed for example by using a branch extender The same principle applies as with the dune I pour cement into the mix Then a somewhat thicker piece of sponge and fir branches I am not dying in this case These factory inserts still have an ornate cover a wooden inlay which is supposed to make arranging flowers easier But it doesn't help me at all Basically it just makes things harder and gets in the way That's why I don't use them I use one whole triple branch for bouquets She is then the longest In this case I join together two hortensia blooms to get a larger flower Also I trim the ends of the wires I'll admit honestly that I'm not fond of making bouquets That's why there won't be too many of them on my channel Here I have to help myself with a wire to connect the flower to the leaf I create my bouquets in the form of ikebana the art of arranging flowers In a certain harmony in a linear way such a clean orderly one We will also leave the bouquet for several hours That's probably all I hope I managed to convey to you in an understandable way the basics of composition They were surrounded by artificial flowers
