For many people, winter is associated with such a fun, long-awaited and magical holiday as the New Year. Creating a New Year's Ekibana from natural materials will be a great way to bring the expectation of a holiday and magic closer.

It is enough to make quite a bit of effort, add fantasy, imagination, and you can create an unusual winter bouquet or composition.

We make Ekibana about winter with our own hands: photo in the master class

In order to make a beautiful and harmonious winter ekibana with your own hands, you can use many different materials: moss, cones, beads, berries, branches, tinsel, tree bark and much, much more.

Winter ekibana does not have to be in a vase. You can creatively arrange it in a basket, a bucket, make a wreath out of it or place the composition in a flower pot. Dream up!

The main components of winter ekibans are undoubtedly spruce and pine coniferous branches. This is not surprising, because in winter it is impossible to find the leaves of other trees. Cones, dried flowers and some berries, such as rose hips, will be an excellent addition to coniferous branches.

A large number of dried flowers do not require special preliminary work with them. They can simply be cleaned and dried. Do not forget to cut off the leaves from them, as they look completely unattractive when dried. Pre-harvested and prepared plants can be safely stored in a vase. They will not lose their beautiful appearance until the time you use them.

In any case, it is very important to properly prepare the source material. In order for the leaf ekibana to look beautiful, it is necessary to choose only whole and healthy leaves. You need to dry the leaves between the pages of a book or album, pressing down with a load. This must be done in order to avoid curling the leaves in the future. Autumn leaves prepared in this way are used for children's applications, leaf collages, and also for herbariums.

If there is a need to perform a bulk composition, autumn leaves are soaked for three to four days in a solution of glycerin (200 ml) and cold water (400 ml). When processed by this method, autumn leaves become flexible, pliable and do not lose their original beautiful appearance.

Flat crafts.

There are four ways to dry leaves for flat crafts:

  1. natural method. The collected natural materials are tied into bundles and hung on a thread in a dry, well-ventilated area.
  2. Drying with a hot iron. Autumn leaves are laid out on thick cardboard, thin paper is placed on top and gently ironed with a hot iron. It is necessary to iron until the moisture from the leaves has completely evaporated.
  3. Bulk drying. With this method, autumn flowers best retain their shape and volume. The flower is cut and placed for one month in dried and calcined sand.
  4. Drying method in the oven. It is necessary to set the oven at a very low temperature, about 60 degrees Celsius. The prepared natural raw materials are laid out on the base and dried slowly. You should always monitor the condition of the leaves and flowers, to prevent them from darkening or losing their shape.

If you have prepared plants (flowers, leaves) for winter Ekibana in summer or autumn, use them. However, it is not scary at all, even if you have not done this. Indeed, in this case, you can make flowers, for example, from paper or fabric. They are not difficult at all, but they look very beautiful and very gentle.

When compiling New Year's winter compositions, feel free to include all your imagination. Combine different colors and materials.

Since the vast majority of winter ekibans are made from dried flowers and natural materials, such compositions delight the eye for a very long time.

In order to create an unusual and beautiful festive ekibana, we need:

  • Floral sponge
  • Leaves
  • Wicker basket
  • Wire
  • Berries, fir branches
  • Scissors
  • Dried fruits (apples, oranges, lemons)
  • Christmas balls

Moisten a floral sponge with water and place in a basket.

We decorate the sponge with spruce branches.

We add branches with berries, leaves to the ekibana, we fix roses.

We attach dried fruits and Christmas balls to the wire and add to our winter composition.

You can use only Christmas balls or only roses.

It turned out a festive and unusual winter outfit.

If you have not prepared natural material in advance to create an ekibana, you can make a beautiful composition from corrugated paper. You will need:

  • Red crepe paper (about 75 cm long)
  • Green crepe paper (about 30cm)
  • green wire
  • Glue and scissors
  • Composition container

How to make roses:

  1. Fold the red crepe paper in half horizontally. This must be done so that thin strips of paper remain.
  2. Measure about 8 centimeters and bend one end of the product down. So we get the core of our future flower.
  3. We form the petals: carefully fold the paper and bend at the end.
  4. The lower part of the flower must be dense so that the bud holds its shape.
  5. When we form a bud, leave about 8 centimeters free. We do this in order to then fix the flower on the wire with this end.
  6. We insert the green wire into the flower and carefully pierce the lower part.
  7. We cut out the sepals from green corrugated paper, put them on the wire and pull them to the base of the flower. Attach the sepals with glue.
  8. From the remnants of green paper, cut out thin strips, at least 15 centimeters long. We spread them with glue and wrap them tightly around the stem.
  9. We make the desired number of roses and insert them into the prepared container.

Video: Christmas composition with candles

Christmas holidays are in full swing! It's time to visit or receive guests at home. This copy was born in just a few hours, when I found out that our friends were waiting for me and my family to visit, do not go empty-handed. Now follows a short description, which is difficult to call a master class.


So, we will make a simple New Year's ikebana with our own hands. To do this, we need: cardboard, willow branches, Titanium glue, decorative threads, a candle, spruce or pine branches, cones, nuts and all kinds of decor. We put a plate or other circle on the cardboard, outline and cut out a circle. Next, we make a wreath from willow branches, help ourselves at the same time, tying with twine. The diameter of the wreath and the cardboard circle must match. Next, glue a wreath on the cardboard, and put a candle in the center. I have a homemade candle, but you can also purchase it.


And I made a candle from two small ones that had already been used. We cut these candles into pieces, put them in a water bath to heat up. In the meantime, prepare a mold for pouring candles. We take a cardboard sleeve from paper towels, glue the cardboard bottom. Cover the junction of the bottom and the sleeve with salt dough so that the wax does not leak out.

We put a wick in the sleeve, for decoration I sketched tangerine skins and fill it with melted wax, into which I dropped a few drops of my favorite tangerine essential oil. When the candle has cooled a little, you can decorate the top with coffee beans and leave until completely solidified. The refrigerator helps speed up the process.


Around the candle we make a kind of pillow from decorative threads, gluing them to the cardboard. We glue pine branches on the willow wreath, and in the middle of the wreath we distribute the rest of the decor - cones, colored nuts, papier-mâché tangerines left over from some of my next crafts, decorative twigs with berries. Do not forget to sprinkle the edges with varnish so that the pine needles do not sprinkle. For a complete look, we will tie a ribbon on a candle. That's all! Now it’s not a shame to visit with such a gift.

Ekibana is the ancient Japanese art of flower arrangement. Decorative combinations are created from natural and artificial materials. This set is a great way to decorate your home and develop your creativity. Engaging in this type of creativity will help relieve fatigue and cheer up any person.

Art Features

Composition in autumn style

Before you start making ekiban, you should get acquainted with the features of this type of art. . Recommendations:

  • rigor and conciseness are the basic principles in the preparation of combinations, it is worth paying special attention to the location of the main components;
  • during operation, materials are placed on the right, and the container is at eye level;
  • living and dry gifts of flora are used, as well as trees, branches, berries, fruits;
  • the main material is the living gifts of flora, which have an individual philosophical sound, which must be taken into account when compiling.

Making your own hands: photo

The finished product will depend on the imagination. It is worthwhile to imagine the result in advance and comprehend the shape of the bouquet. When compiling, you should not hold back the flight of your imagination.

Striving for harmony is an important part of any creative process. But in order to get a beautiful and harmonious bunch, you should follow some rules when drawing up:

Variable works of art from flowers

  1. In each architectonics, the main element is distinguished, there may be several of them.
  2. It consists of three central elements, symbolizing heaven, earth and man.
  3. To add dynamics to the sound, it is worth placing some components at an angle.
  4. Be sure to have asymmetry.
  5. Living gifts of flora are not placed next to heating appliances.
  6. Materials are selected depending on the season.
  7. The vase is chosen inconspicuous and dim, which will not attract attention. The focus is on flowers or leaves.

It shouldn't be too big. This is its main difference from traditional European bouquets.

From flowers

To start compiling, First prepare everything you need: a small vase, gifts of flora, three shoots, a garden pruner, a floral sponge.

Sophisticated composition in Japanese style

A sponge is placed in a vase or bowl and water is poured.

Then the flowers are prepared. If possible, you can take traditional Japanese ingredients - sakura, chrysanthemums. If they are not available, any others will do, as well as fruits.

The long stem symbolizes the sky. It is placed with an inclination to the left. For fixing plastic can be used.

The second flower or sprout is 2/3 the length of the first. It is also tilted to the left. This is the symbol of man.

The third sprout is also 2/3 long, it denotes the earth. Its slope is to the right.

If you look at it from the side, you should get the feeling that there is one shoot in the vase.

The gaps are filled small flowers or greens, but you don't need to use many small elements.

Refined simplicity

All elements of Japanese bouquets have a certain meaning. Opened buds, as well as dry carpels and fruits, mean the past. Unopened flowers and fresh leaves symbolize the present. Symbols of the future - buds and buds.

Roses are a symbol of youth, sakura means devotion, bamboo is hardness, pine is vital endurance.

It is also worth considering color compatibility because not all types of plants are well suited to each other. For example, poppies are not compatible with lilies. Lilies of the valley, daffodils and roses also do not like the neighborhood of other flowers.

It is good if the flowers are complemented by shoots and leaves. Other decorative elements look original: ribbons, lace, stones.

from the leaves

Leaves in a basket

To compile the autumn version with their own hands they take a container, twigs with bright autumn leaves or physalis branches, mountain ash, moss.

A sponge or foam rubber is placed in the selected container. Install a high twig with a slope. Add smaller branches. Decorate with autumn leaves, moss.

To maintain freshness, water is poured into the vase.

as a container you can use pumpkin. To do this, the top is cut off, the pulp and seeds are cleaned. Before the creative process, the pumpkin should dry out a little. Then they are made according to the same rules as in a vase.

from fruit

Fruits in a basket

Such compilations cannot stand for a long time, so I make them t as a gift for any event.

Choose different fruits, as well as a vase or basket. They are used whole or cut. You will also need a sponge and skewers.

Then cut into beautiful shapes: in the form of hearts, flowers and other interesting elements. They are put on skewers and inserted into a sponge. So fill the entire vase or basket.

You need to give such a bouquet on the same day, until they lose their attractiveness. Unfortunately, this beauty cannot serve as an interior decoration.

New Year's variation

To make a New Year's bouquet use colors:

  • red;
  • golden;
  • silver;
  • white;
  • green;
  • blue.

Bouquet with cones

To start determine the leading color. An extra is added to it. Dilute with gold and silver.

In New Year's bouquets, not only flowers are used, but also other natural materials: cones, spruce shoots, cinnamon sticks, Christmas balls, candles, sweets, ribbons. Candle can be located in the center.

Put in the basket floral sponge. The edges of the basket are framed with spruce twigs. Branches, leaves, flowers are added to the sponge. Decorate with Christmas balls.
