With every spring day, nature wakes up, the first flowers appear. Therefore, even schoolgirls weave ornaments in the form of beautiful flowers into their pigtails. These decorations include the elastic "Bouquet".

To create an elastic band "Bouquet" you will need:
- a tape 25 mm wide of several shades: lilac, white and raspberry.
- a tape 5 mm wide in light green color.
- an elastic band for hair of a pink shade.
- scissors.
- wire for weaving.
- lighter.
- thermal gun with a spare rod.
- needle for manual work.
- reinforced white thread.
- a pencil.
Making gum "Bouquet".
For starters, ribbons of white and raspberry color will be required, blanks with sides 1x2.5 cm should be cut from them.

Rectangles of white color will need 20 pieces, raspberry shade 10 pieces. Each part needs to be shaped into petals by carefully cutting corners.

Satin blanks must then be scorched so that the fabric does not crumble. Now it is necessary to prepare three pieces of wire for flower stalks. The length of such segments should be 3 cm.

At the edges of each wire should be glued 10 petals. You need to make three flowers, two of white petals and one of the raspberry details.

Ready-made flowers should be joined together, combining their stems, applying hot glue.

From a narrow ribbon of light green coloring, it is necessary to prepare leaflets for flowers. It will require blanks of 4 cm in length, in the amount of 6 pieces.

From each green segment, you need to make loops, aligning the two edges together.

It turns out 6 loops, they need to be glued in pairs, slightly overlapping their edges one on the other.

Further leaflets must be carefully attached between the flowers.

The result was a small bouquet, it should be set aside, and make a border for flowers. To do this, you need a lilac ribbon. On the wrong side, you need to draw slightly noticeable dashed lines, moving in even zigzags from one edge to another. In this way, you need to prepare a tape 27 cm long.

Now you need a needle for manual work and a reinforced thread. A long section of thread should be threaded into the eye and tie a knot at the end. With a prepared needle with a thread, you need to lay a neat line along the drawn dashed zigzags. The resulting seam should be carefully pulled off so that the tape is pulled together with beautiful rounded folds.

The pleated tape now needs to be combined into a ring, combining the two edges.

It turned out a ring with a beautiful edge. In the middle of it should be inserted a prepared bouquet of flowers and fix it with glue.

The first tier of the border for the flowers turned out, it remains to make the second. To do this, you need the same tape, but now 32 cm long. Throughout its entire length, you need to draw zigzag lines along which you should lay a seam line. The resulting line must be pulled, converting the tape into a three-dimensional braid.

In the center of the ring it remains to attach a bouquet. After preliminary lubricating the lower part of the bouquet with glue, the flowers should be placed strictly in the middle of the tier of the ribbon.
