DIY autumn bouquet

As promised a while ago, I tried another Pinterest DIY idea I saved from Tabula Rosi.

...........

Vem, da sem pred časom obljubljala, da bom poskusila izdelati čim več "naredi sam" izdelkov, zato je tu rezultat na podlagi ideje Tabule Rosi.

The idea is to use different autumn leaves and paint them with cute patterns and finally attach them on branches. I really loved the colour scheme she used, but since I planned to make my bouquet a gift for a certain person I knew I should use different colours.

I've chosen turquoise and different shades of brown. I used acrylic paints, pritt pens, white gel pen and gold marker for painting leaves. I put branches in a jar just as Tabula Rosi did and used pebbles to hold them in place. I didn't use wire to attach leaves, I just glued them on branches with my hot glue gun.

I was quite happy with the result, I'm just sorry I was in such work frenzy I forgot to take photos of leaves before attaching them to branches.

Izdelava naj bi bila zelo preprosta: jesensko listje prebarvamo in nanj narišemo različne vzorčke, nakar vse skupaj pritrdimo na vejice. Zelo mi je bila všeč barvna shema na zgornji fotografiji, vendar pa sem nameravala izdelati šopek za darilo za konkretno osebo, zato sem želela uporabiti barve, ki bodo njej bližje.

Izbrala sem turkizno barvo in različne odtenke rjave. Uporabila sem akrilne barve, pritt markerje, beli gel marker in zlat marker. Veje sem postavila v kozarec, enako kot Tabula Rosi in uporabila male bele kamenčke, da so zapolnili praznine in ohranili veje v položaju, ki sem si ga zamislila. Namesto žice za pritrditev listov na veje, sem enostavno uporabila pištolo za vroče lepljenje.

Z rezultatom sem bila zadovoljna, žal mi je le, da sem tako hitela z delom, da sem pozabila narediti fotografije listov preden sem ji pritrdila na vejice.

So here it is in warm September day :D

In še eden v toplem septembrskem dnevu :D

I think it is safe to say Tabula Rosi presented a cute idea that is not hard to make and you can easily get a wonderful and unique bouquet that will give you a lot of fun creating and can be a great gift for someone special.

Mislim, da lahko z gotovostjo rečem, da je Tabula Rosi predstavila idejo, ki je prikupna in resnično dovolj preprosta za izdelavo. Brez večjih težav lahko izdelate unikaten jesenski šopek zase ali za darilo, pri izdelavi pa se lahko zabava cela družina.
