The flower of the maple leaves is ready, when the base is tightly wrapped with the last detail, and everything is fixed with threads or floral tape.

For a beautiful composition, you need to prepare from three to seven buds of different sizes, thin twigs to which all the elements are tied up, and additional leaves.
