Have a good and bright day everyone! Very soon, in a month, the first flowers will appear, I suggest not to wait for this and make your own flowers from paper. After all, you can give such lovely gifts of nature without a reason, but if you need a reason, then don’t forget to congratulate your mothers and grandmothers on March 8 or Happy Mother’s Day, because it is on these days that such crafts are always given.
Let them be paper, but they can be presented so cool and superbly that they will look even better than alive, and even more so they can stand on a table or shelf for a single year. And this certainly makes me happy. Take a look at this picture, do you like it? If yes, then I showed you step by step how you can do this.
In my opinion, today’s theme will always be popular, because this is the most beautiful and delicate souvenir that you can give for any occasion. So, I suggest you hang out with me for a while))).
Souvenirs that carry something unusual look unrealistically beautiful and original. I suggest starting with the seemingly simplest option, but just look at who. This is a daisy, but not simple and not fabulous, but with wishes, how nice it would be to give one, don’t you think?
Moreover, you can download ready-made templates directly from this site and print them on a printer. This is a very cool souvenir that will hook anyone. You can give it for any occasion, such as a birthday or Teacher's Day.
We will need:
- office sheets of different colors - 5 pcs.
- glue stick
- double sided tape
- rhinestones
- templates
- satin ribbon
- scissors
Stages of work:
1. Start by deciding on the shape of the flower. I suggest taking this seven-flowered flower. Print the blanks on the printer. The first template will be like in this picture, I will send all the rest to you by email, just write your comment below (there are 10 in total), or you can come up with your own words or messages.
2. Here they are handsome, now take scissors, or you can use a stationery knife and cut along the contour.
3. These are the cute and funny preparations you will get.
4. Cut out a circle of cardboard with a diameter of 5 cm and place the first flower and a satin ribbon and drop glue into the middle or smear it if you are using a pencil. So gradually glue everything.
5. Now all that remains is to decorate the middle beautifully. To do this, take a square, approximately 3.5x3.5 cm. Bend it like this.
6. Then make a triangle as if you were making a frog.
7. Fold the ends forward.
8. These are the butterflies you will get.
9. Which all that remains is to connect, glue to each other, and cover the middle with something interesting, for example, a bead or rhinestones. The result is a very original and unique craft, the person for whom you made it will definitely like it.
The most common and easy, especially for children, is the figure-of-eight flower using a hole punch and buttons.
Undoubtedly, the king of all flowers are roses, how to make them, to be honest, there are a great many options. I will write about this in more detail someday. Now take this masterpiece as a basis.
Or here’s a sample, you need to draw 5 flowers from largest to smallest, and then arrange this thing in a vase.
I know many of you will be looking for roses, because these are the flowers that are customary to give in most cases. Well, here's your first briefing. Take corrugated paper and make petals out of it. First, cut out the strip, then fold it like an accordion and round the edges. After this, you should twist it onto a stem, which could be a stick or something similar.
Also decorate the stick with green corrugated paper.
You can make such a wonderful creation from plain paper, but it is better to use crepe paper or corrugated paper. Draw a spiral yourself in a circle, cut it with a knife, and then wind it onto a pencil or crochet hook.
Or use this usual scheme, you can do this in 5 minutes.
Their work steps are absolutely simple. Remember how you made bookmarks in childhood, the system is approximately the same))).
The flowers themselves can also be twisted to make them look more interesting, as if they had truly bloomed.
In general, quite a lot of models can be composed and made from paper, the main thing is depending on the shape of the petal.
Notice these features yourself and you can make daisies, chrysanthemums, dahlias, and even carnations, take a look at the following pictures. You can see petal templates for cutting out.
Or do you prefer lilies with peonies?
What kind of flower is this? Did you guess it?
You can make such a charmer in the form of a brooch).
Snowdrops, as we know, are the first to please us. Moreover, you can make the flowers themselves from pumpkin seeds.
And of course, I couldn’t pass by foamiran, use this material too.
Dandelions follow them. Make them from regular napkins using a stapler.
This bright option would also be an excellent solution to surprise everyone.
They remind me of asters.
This view completely captivated me, I fell in love with it at first sight. It really looks like a living or real dahlia.
You can make primrose. You will need squares, from which you need to make figures that look like triangles.
Also roll the other side to form a triangle and a petal for the future bud. Then glue them together. Make the stem and leaves.
The next option looks great, as if it were real.
Making crafts from A4 sheet
Not so often, but you still have to make such products from ordinary large sheets. Of course, you can use such luxurious crafts anywhere; they look especially good if you decorate walls or a hall with them, that is, use them in the interior of premises.
Each leaf is a large petal that you will have to paint in the desired color.
Larger flower options can also be made in the form of a rose. Initially, you will need to use a template.
And then follow all the steps presented step by step.

Tulips are flowers that appear among the very first in flower beds. However, they delight us with their beauty for only a short time. However, thanks to your skillful hands, a beautiful bouquet of paper tulips will decorate your home all year round. We offer you a craft using the applique technique - an image made from small pieces of different materials, in this case from colored paper.
Paper craft “Tulip”
This application will use the origami technique. We will need:
- First we make a tulip. Fold the yellow square in half into a triangle. Then we bend the petals towards the middle, retreating 4.5 cm from the edge.
- Now we make a stem with leaves from a green square. Fold it in half and fold the edges towards the center.
Then we bend the edges again towards the center. After this, we bend the leaves. - Using glue, we connect the flower to the stem.
- Let's make a pot. On the back side of the brown square we take the same measurements as in the photo. Then we cut off the top part, make cuts on the sides and fold the edges towards the middle of the part. We apply the upper part, bend it in the middle and glue it, and bend its sides by 1.5 cm.
- We connect the tulip and the pot with glue.
- Let's prepare the base of the application. Glue a rectangle of dark paper onto a sheet of light cardboard.
- Last step: glue a flower in a pot onto the base.
The “Tulips” applique can be very beautiful and original. It can be made from different materials, and in several ways. Choose the option you like and get creative with your children.
Tulips: paper applique (simple)
For the easiest method, you will need stencils in the shape of a flower and a leaf. It is better to make the blanks in advance from thick paper or cardboard. If a very small child is going to do the craft, then adults will have to immediately cut out all the elements from colored paper.
When the lesson is conducted with a child who can trace the outline using a stencil and cut out the blank, the sequence of work is as follows:
- Take a flower stencil and trace it on a red, yellow or other sheet of a suitable shade the required number of times.
- Cut out the blanks.
- Also make leaf blanks.
- Cut thin strips from green paper. These will be the stems.
- To make the “Tulips” applique look neat and complete, you will need to frame the panel, so prepare four strips of paper or cardboard, which, when finished, glue to the sides of the base.
- When all the elements of the craft are cut out, proceed to “assembly”. The process is simple. Glue the tulip blanks to the top of the base.
- From each flower, glue a stem going down.
- Place the leaves on top of the stems.
Place it in a frame and the craft is ready.
Paper craft (intermediate level)
A more complex but beautiful “Tulips” applique can be made on the basis of a lancet-shaped stencil, which plays the role of both a leaf and a petal at the same time. The craft is performed as follows:
Frame the craft or use it to decorate the front of a card.
Tulips from napkins
If the “Tulips” applique made from colored paper seems difficult for your child, use a simpler technique when the child lays out a craft made from pre-rolled lumps of colored napkin particles along the drawn contour. You can also use white ones, but after rolling them into balls, you will have to dip them in gouache and dry them.
Tulips: fabric applique
This craft can be used simply as a decorative panel or as an element of decoration for some accessory, for example, a bag, pillowcase, pillow. Any fabric will do, but it is better to use fleece or felt. They do not require processing of the edges of parts and allow the gluing of small elements.
You already know how to make the “Tulips” applique from colored paper; it’s easy to make decor from felt using a similar technology. The only difference will be that the blanks can not be glued, but sewn along the contour with a needle and thread.
So, the “Tulips” applique can be easily made from paper in different ways, as well as from fabric or other materials. Choose your favorite craft option. Make a wall decoration panel or a spring-themed postcard with your child.
