History of origin
Artificial flowers appeared a long time ago - several centuries BC. In ancient Egypt and China, they were made from porcelain, silk, precious metals, stones, parchment, bird feathers and clay. They were used to decorate palaces, temples, and expensive clothing. Production secrets were passed down from generation to generation. Later, such flowers appeared in Greece, Italy, Spain, where entire unique factories arose that produced these unique handmade jewelry.
In Russia, the fashion for making began to gain popularity at the end of the nineteenth century. They were made from leather, wax, fabrics, and paper. This fine art was taught in women's and art schools. The unique flower of the author's work was quite expensive. In the twentieth century, in the territory of the Soviet Union, artificial flowers were sold only in a few places, and the price was affordable only to party workers.
Now one of the most popular hobbies and ways to earn money is making paper flowers, flower arrangements, and decorating rooms with them. And that's why:
- real flowers quickly wither and lose their visual appeal, while paper flowers look good much longer;
- there are many manufacturing techniques, which makes this activity very interesting and varied;
- the financial costs associated with this hobby are small, since the materials are cheap and the tools are available in every home;
- This is a great way of self-expression for children and adults.

A sofa or bench is often near a floral background to take a photo while sitting. For a special ambiance, you can place lit candles around. Bouquets add zest - guests can take them in their hands. The colors should match the main background.
