Many bouquets for March 8

When there is only one man working in a large team, then February is a fabulous month for him, but March is a month of anxiety. After all, on International Women's Day it is customary to give gifts to all ladies (without exception). How can a lonely employee of a large female team find a way out in such a difficult situation? You can, for example, buy yourself off with candy. If your salary allows, replace the sweets with several cakes. Or you can make cheap souvenirs, even if they are not very necessary, but individual, such that they will definitely be noticed. To do this, you just need to call on your children for help, buy cheap little things and make a pleasant congratulation to each colleague personally.
Materials for work:
1. Plastic straws – 1 pack;
2. Gift ribbon – 2 m;
3. Money for ransom (banknotes of the joke bank) – 1 pack;
4. Packaging paper – 2 m;
5. Scissors, stapler.
Stages of work:
First stage: making money flowers.
We buy plastic straws according to the number of employees of the team multiplied by two, banknotes from a bank of jokes with a face value of one thousand rubles, transparent wrapping paper and gift ribbon.

Fold the money in half and cut it.

We twist each corner of the cut piece inward.


Place the pieces on top of each other with the folds in one direction.

Fold both pieces in half at the same time.

Then we unbend it and fold it in half again. We unbend again and connect the folds together. This results in four outer folds.


Holding the upper part of the flower, we turn the bends in a circle so that we get a stem.

It turns out not a very lush rose.

Second stage: we make the stem of the flower and the grass of the bouquet.
We cut the long part of the plastic tube in half to the corrugated area.

Then cut each piece in half again.

If possible, you can cut each piece into two again (for the splendor of the grass in the bouquet).

In this way we cut tubes of different colors.

Third stage: connecting the bud and the stem.
We use the tube on the back side of the cut for the stem of the flower. We make a small cut.

We insert the stem of the bud into it.

We secure the joint with a stapler.


Stage four: forming a bouquet.
At the place where the tube is corrugated, make a fold in half.

Similarly, bend a tube of a different color and put both tubes together.

We fasten them with a stapler.

We cut the unused part of the second tube several times (so that its integrity is not evident).

Fifth stage: packing present.
Cut the wrapping paper into small squares. Since there is only one flower in the bouquet, we take transparent paper, which will reveal the modest inner content.

Cut the tape into pieces of 10-15 cm.

We wrap the flower in paper, leaving the bud unwrapped.

We tie a ribbon.

So a small gift is ready for each employee of a large team. Pipe grass can be fluffed up by lightly twisting it in different directions.



This is how you can make a lot of wonderful bouquets very quickly and cheaply. It takes about an hour and a half to make 46 bouquets (assuming four hands are working). With fewer ladies, the bouquets can be made more magnificent and larger (increasing the number of flowers and not forming a bend in the stem).
