How to make delicate beautiful flowers from paper. How to make large flowers from paper. Large flowers for the photo zone

Svetlana Simonova

Purpose: manufacturing colors to decorate the group.

A very simple and quick decoration idea. Just roll up colored paper into sharp-angled tubes and secure them on a round base in layers. It is important to note that this decoration looks good at long distances, but is not very impressive to the viewer up close. Therefore, choose a suitable place for it, and it will become a bright spot in your interior!

Such flowers can be used to decorate walls for a holiday, and can also be used as "beanies" for a masquerade - to do this, attach an elastic band to the base on both sides. If you take smaller pieces, you can make a very beautiful hair decoration.

Progress:

1. Let's prepare the materials necessary for work

Cardboard (the basis)

- note paper.

Scissors

Cut out a circle with a diameter of 13 cm from cardboard - we will stick it on it flower. Let's take it paper squares. The number of squares depends on the diameter of the circle. For a circle D=13 cm you will need 24 squares for the first layer, 22 squares for the second, 17 squares for the third layer and 12 for the fourth. 15 squares for the middle flower.

Using glue to make squares "little bags". Apply glue to one side of the square. Take the square by the corners and fold it into "bag".

Thus, we turn all the squares into "little bags" and get petals flower.

When "little bags"- when the petals are dry, glue them with their backs onto the base, in a circle, leaving a little space in the center for the second and third rows.

The flower is ready.

PAPER FLOWER To decorate the central wall of the music room, I try to use inexpensive materials at hand. I use it often.

Dear colleagues, I offer you a master class on a flower made from corrugated paper. I made these flowers for our girls. At a matinee dedicated to...

Goal: to develop the ability to create gifts with your own hands. Objectives: develop the ability to fold paper; develop fine motor skills of the hands; bring up.

A number of people are skeptical about artificial flowers, based on the fact that real flowers are more beautiful and fragrant. However, a variety of techniques and types of paper allow even amateurs to create unique masterpieces. Miniature paper flowers are suitable for decorating a postcard, gift box or table setting, while large ones are suitable for marking accents at festive events. Flowers on stems are used to create bouquets for loved ones and relatives. To give the gift an official touch, decorate it in baskets and create candy bouquets. Below are simple instructions for making paper flowers for different occasions.

The “twisting” technique involves wrapping a strip of paper around a wooden stick. Despite the simplicity of the process, there are a large number of colors created using this technique that are not similar to each other. They are distinguished by their brightness and originality.

1. Carnation for February 23 or May 9

An easy craft that older preschoolers can handle.

To make it you will need red and green corrugated paper and a stick for the stem. Let's consider the sequence of actions:

The process takes no more than 30 minutes, and if you re-make the flower, it will take even less time.

2. Asters by March 8

A bouquet of paper flowers will be a pleasant gift for a mother, grandmother, or friend. The craft is designed for children over 6 years old. Prepare thick two-color paper, a ruler, a pencil, scissors, narrow tape or glue, a stick for a stem and green tape. Instructions for creating a bouquet of asters:

cut a strip 6 cm wide along the long side of the A4 sheet. Mark a line on it, 1.5 cm from the edge;
cut out the cloves on the opposite side of the outlined edge;
cut a narrow fringe in the direction from the edge with the teeth to the line;
take a stick and begin to wind a strip around it;
The edge of the bud is fixed with glue. For reliability, wrap transparent tape on top;
bend the petals to the sides;
take a wooden stick and wrap it with green tape;
plant a flower on a stem;

Fix the core with plasticine.

More patient amateurs first make the center of the flower. To do this, twist a narrow strip of flowers that contrast with the petals. Fix it and screw a strip of fringe onto it. This flower has a more elegant, finished look.

As a result of experiments with the width of the fringe, with the tips of the petals (the edge is made not with teeth, but with a rounded edge or otherwise), chrysanthemums, daisies, and peonies are obtained.
If you twist the ends of the petals in blanks made of thick paper (for example, an aster) with a wooden stick, the resemblance to real flowers will increase.

Original paper flowers using the rolling technique are made from strips of fringe, which differ in the length of the petals. For example, they make the middle. To do this, a strip 1 cm wide is tightly wound onto a toothpick. The next strip with fringe, but 2 cm wide, is wound onto it. Then, 2.5 and 3 cm wide. A flower is obtained, the length of the petals gradually increases from the center to the edges.

3. Paper rose

A spectacular rose is rolled out of paper in a matter of minutes. To do this, you will need a colored square sheet of paper (preferably not glossy to make it easier to work with). Draw a spiral on it (no need to worry about the evenness of the intervals) and cut it out. Start rolling the rose from the edge (not from the middle). A bud is formed and fixed.

How to make paper puff flowers

Spectacular “puff layers” are obtained by superimposing flower silhouettes on top of each other. Each layer differs in size from the previous one; it is given a relief (more on this below), which allows you to add volume to the finished product. To create layered flowers, prepare stencils:

selected on the Internet;
create themselves. On an A4 sheet of paper, circles of different diameters are drawn and cut out. Each circle is folded in four, then in half. Draw the tops of two petals (a heart) on the outer edge. Cut out the edge and deepen the center of the workpiece. Unfold. The layer is ready.

1. Volumetric puff flower.

In order to make a three-dimensional decoration you will need: blanks of colored paper, scissors, a tool for creating relief, thread, needle, glue. Instructions:

The edges of the petals are tinted with a contrasting felt-tip pen.

Different silhouettes of petals and their unusual relief allow you to create dahlias, poppies, asters, roses and anemones.
Irises and pansies are made using this technique (templates can be downloaded from the Internet).

2. Corrugated paper layer

Flowers made from paper (crepe, corrugated) look natural, since the paper already has a certain relief. In addition, the delicate structure of the material allows you to create exquisite compositions for interiors and decorate special events. Let's look at a quick way to create a flower:

Select crepe paper of the desired color. To make it more natural, take two colors close in tone;
fold the sheet in half the required number of times to get a square piece;
fold it three times, draw the edge of the petal;
cut out and unfold the workpiece.

Sew the layers in the middle with a thick thread and fluff the flower.

The method is suitable for making daffodils and carnations. You just need to trim the edges of the blanks accordingly and choose the right color shades.

How to get flowers using the folding method

Let's look at two techniques that help you make flowers from paper by folding it.

1. Tulips

The proposed option is carried out using the origami technique, and is suitable for younger schoolchildren.
You will need double-sided colored paper, a tube, and plasticine. Instructions:

make a square from an A4 sheet;
cut off the extra rectangle;
the square is folded so as to obtain two diagonals;
press the side elements inward;
turn two front corners up;
turn the workpiece over and repeat the previous action;
bend the outer corners to the middle, repeat on the other side;
the bottom corner is folded and carefully ironed;
pull out (blow out) the base of the tulip;
turn away the petals;
tuck the lower edges of the petals into each other;
take a tube, cut it from one edge to a depth of 2 cm, and turn the cuts away.

Attach the bud to the tube. The tulip is ready.

2. Roses

You will need thick paper, since during the folding process the paper strip will twist around itself. This technique does not have to be carried out strictly according to the proposed scheme. It is important to understand the idea of paper folding.

How to make pompom flowers

You can make a large flower from corrugated paper in the following way:

For the middle, use a contrasting ball of corrugated paper.
Anemones, peonies, and carnations are made in a similar way, changing the edges with scissors.

How to make flowers with round petals

Using small hard balls and wide short strips of paper (corrugated) they make graceful, airy flowers. To do this, place a ball in the middle of the strip, lift the sides of the strip, and twist it tightly (like a candy wrapper). Take out the ball, maintaining the integrity of the petal. A flower is assembled from several ready-made petals, the center is decorated, and a stem is added.

Simple instructions from the review will help you create unique works for both children and adults. They will inspire you to combine different techniques. They will allow you to use not only paper, but also ribbons, beads, seed beads, buttons and other useful things to make flowers. In the process of improving the model, it is worth increasing complexity. Supplement with the production of complex stamens, stems and leaves. Paper flowers are an inexhaustible theme for creativity and imagination. They will serve as decoration for postcards, hairpins, gift boxes, and will enliven the interior, bringing notes of spring and happiness to the house.

Volumetric paper flowers are excellent decorations for the hall and room. Making them yourself is very easy, all you need to do is be patient. You can make flowers from regular colored or corrugated paper. To do this, it is enough to have the diagrams and templates that we offer on the site.

The Scarlet Flower

You can start a master class on making this craft with your own hands by choosing paper. This can be plain red or dark orange paper. If you can find a double-sided one, it will be even better.

A master class and step-by-step instructions on how to make a “scarlet flower” with your own hands will look like this:

To make a “scarlet flower”, select a square blank as the base.
Fold it in half and connect the corners.
We also fold the side corners inward.
Then we unfold the corners so that the double fold is visible.
We connect the corners so that the folds are on the inside.
We glue several of these blanks together and get a flower.
You can use glitter or rain as the middle.

Several of these flowers can be combined into a bouquet and given to your loved ones. Look at the photo to see what this flower looks like.

Peony

Master class on how to make a peony out of paper with your own hands, you can start by preparing light A4 paper. Flowers can be made in different shades that you like, from white or light pink to dark red. In the latter case, it is better to choose double-sided colored paper. Such flowers are suitable both for decorating the hall and as a decorative element of the room.

The master class and step-by-step instructions on how to make a peony with your own hands look quite simple:

Fold a sheet of paper like an accordion along its entire length.
Fold it in half and tie it with a thread in the middle.
Prepare a few more of these “accordions”.
Tie the pieces perpendicular to each other, placing one layer on top of the other.
The result should be a lush, voluminous flower.

You can see how it looks in the photo here

Other options

A master class on making flowers with your own hands can be carried out using special preparations. Templates and patterns for artificial flowers can be found in large quantities on the website.

The step-by-step instructions for making it yourself will look simple:

Print the templates on a printer and transfer them to colored paper.
Cut out the blanks.
To make flowers with your own hands, just combine several blanks and fasten them in the shape of a flower.

A master class on how to make paper flowers with your own hands using templates is perfect for making wall decorations (flowers can be strung on a fishing line or thread and making a garland), artificial bouquets of daisies, camellias and other flowers with many straight petals. A flower garland will be an excellent solution for festive decoration of the hall.

This is what the master class looks like with step-by-step instructions and the finished flowers in the photo:

Corrugated paper

To make flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands, you need to take into account the characteristics of the material. This paper itself gives the product additional volume, but to enhance it you will need some tricks. Let's conduct a master class on how to make a tulip from corrugated paper.

Cut a small piece of corrugated paper into a rectangular shape to fit the flower and slightly round the edges.
To make the petal acquire a convex shape, you can slightly wet it (just a little so that the paper does not spread) and place it on the back of the tea cup.
Let the paper dry. Do the same with all the petals.
Prepare the stem. It can be made from a stick or thick wire wrapped in green crepe paper. As a center and to secure the petals, you can use a special base in the form of a semicircular mesh, as in the photo.
Secure the corrugated paper petals to the stem or base so that there are no gaps between them.

This is what the step-by-step master class and the finished flower look like in the photo

Rose

The master class on making a rose is very similar to the instructions on how to make a tulip with your own hands. The differences will be in the shape of the petals and their preliminary preparation.

A master class on how to make paper flowers with your own hands, in a simplified form, is perfect for kindergarten or primary school. Children will not only develop fine motor skills, but also aesthetic taste and show creative interest. The flowers can then be used to decorate the classroom.

You can easily conduct such a master class at home. You just have to stock up on scissors, paper, glue and patience, and the skill will come with practice.

Corrugated paper flowers are typically used to decorate gifts. But if you decorate a photo frame, wall clock with them, make a panel or an elegant one, then they will decorate the interior and bring lightness to it. Before you learn how to create flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands, you need to understand what material is suitable for this and what else is needed to make the craft look like a real plant.

Getting to know the material

Corrugated paper is also called crepe or crepe paper. The only difference is that gaufrer is a French name, and crepe is an English name. In Russian there is also an analogue - reaper, pressed paper. There are several options for corrugated paper on sale, but the main classification is divided according to the density of the sheets:

Paper for creativity and gift wrapping: density 30–50 g, small folds, the height of which is not regulated. It is not suitable for floristry because it does not stretch well, tears and gets wet from the glue.

Floral paper is used for packaging flowers and sweet designs. Its density is in the range of 120–180 g. Deep folds provide the necessary amount of stretch to create realistic colors.

Corrugated cardboard has a high density and is only suitable for making gift boxes.

Please note that the craft paper label says “fine crepe” on the packaging. The floral paper is marked with the inscription “crepe extra”, and the sheets themselves have transverse textured stripes.

Folds on floral paper are called flutes, which are divided into three types:

E-flute up to 1.6 mm high – for making small flowers;
B-flute up to 3.2 mm high – for life-size paper flowers;
A-flute up to 4.8 mm high – for packaging.

The color palette includes not only plain paper, but also metallized double-sided paper, with gradient and rainbow colors.

We will also need auxiliary materials for creativity:

Type tape, which is used as colored tape to decorate the base of the flower and stem;
Scissors and stationery knife;
PVA glue (thick), heat gun;
Threads for attaching petals, sheets;
Floral and regular wire;
Wooden sticks for stems;
Styrofoam balls or candies for the center of the flower.

And also: ribbons, frames, baskets, vases and even cups and saucers - the decor is limited only by the imagination of the master.

Basic techniques and secrets of creating flowers from corrugated paper

Master florists have come up with hundreds of ways to make flowers from corrugated paper with their own hands. However, there are basic techniques that, by combining and transforming, can achieve almost perfect resemblance to the original.

Stem

Please note that the stem for any type of flower is created according to the same principle:

The base is floral wire, a wooden stick or a paper tube.
You need to attach the stem to the head of the flower at the initial stage (it is threaded through the layers of paper that form the petals) or the flower is collected directly on the stem.
The stem can be decorated either with a thin strip of corrugated paper with glue or green tape.
To make it look more like a real branch, you need to cut out the leaves and attach them to the stem, masking the junction with tape.

How to easily roll a thin paper tube is explained in this video:

Stamens

Use a ready-made strip of corrugated paper in two or more colors, or you can cut it out from a sheet yourself. The layers are ground down.

Gathering should be done immediately - then you will not be able to pull out the thread without damaging the paper.

Then the workpiece is wound in a spiral around a rod or attached to a surface, and the collected waves create volume.

They are also made for this ball by twisting.

But in this case, a strip of corrugated paper is folded in half and then rolled into a roll. To prevent the flower from falling apart during assembly, it must be glued as the roll increases. Finally, use your fingers to carefully straighten the curls, forming an open rose. The base is a foam ball onto which the roses are glued.

Flowers made from corrugated paper using a similar technique are shown in a master class on creating a rose with an original curled edge:

This technique is popular for making chrysanthemums, daisies, daisies, carnations and other flowers with many small petals. The base is a long strip with cut fringe or cut rounded petals. For example, this charming rose.

Flowers from individual petals

These delicate flowers are made without a base, by joining individual petals cut out according to a template.

For sakura flowers you will need:

three long rectangular strips with rounded edges for petals,
one long rectangular strip with pointed edges for leaves,
for the core, a short strip with transverse cuts.

The petal and leaf blanks should be folded in half, mark the center and straighten the edges, forming a bend. Assembly is carried out using glue by simply connecting the blanks one on top of the other, and a twisted core is attached to the center of the resulting flower.

Blanks for pansies are cut out of multi-colored paper; if desired, the middle can be tinted and veins drawn. The assembly of the flower is carried out by connecting the petals to each other also with glue or thread. Floral wire would be appropriate here as a stem.

This chamomile is collected using a similar technology, but to make a bouquet, a stick is used as a base.

To make this tulip as similar as possible to the real one, it was necessary to create a core using a special technology.

Flowers on a fixed basis

There are many varieties of flowers that are made using this technique: chamomile, but the most common is the English rose.

The peculiarity is that the petals are wound onto a base - a foam or paper ball, which can be replaced with a small round candy.

MASTER CLASS ON THE TOPIC

It is precisely on this principle that this

1. Cut strips of corrugated paper approximately 6 cm wide and 10 cm long. Colors can be combined at your discretion: a delicate milky core and rich yellow, orange or red outer petals.

2. Fold the blanks like an accordion along the width of the petal, rounding the edges.

3. Using your fingers, slightly straighten the corrugations, forming a wavy edge, then use toothpicks to wrap the petals, giving a natural shape.

4. The petal blank should be stretched, giving it a semicircular shape - this will facilitate the formation of the flower.

5. We wrap the base of the flower in a rectangular strip without cuts, pulling the corrugations so that the paper tightly envelops the ball or candy. We fix it with a drop of glue and tighten the bottom with thread.

6. We lay all subsequent petals overlapping in a circle, tightening them with thread. At the end of the work, we decorate the assembly site with a sepal of green or any other color in accordance with the intended composition.

Advice. If you want to make a bouquet on stems, then sticks should be glued with hot glue to the base of the flower - a ball or candy - before the flower begins to form.

Here is a slightly simplified, but no less spectacular version of this flower.

Master Svetlana Bormotova proposed a simple technique that turns an ordinary rose into an exquisite flower:

This decorative artichoke is also created on a fixed base. An incredibly beautiful decorative element!

You may not immediately guess that there is a candy hidden in the graceful daffodil - you will definitely be sorry to disturb such grace:

Original compositions and examples of decor creation

Traditional decoration - bouquets in a vase. You can collect a bouquet of daisies, roses, tulips, and for experienced florists it will not be difficult to create a gladiolus branch:

If you love indoor flowers, but don’t have time to grow them, then a corrugated paper orchid flower is just what you need. This is difficult work that requires certain skills, but the result is worth it.

You can decorate a room not only with bouquets of paper flowers. For example, for indoor wedding ceremonies, you can create a photo zone using paper flowers. They are attached to a perforated wall using a wire bent into a hook.

Using the techniques described, you can create a topiary. The base is a foam ball, which is covered with corrugated paper petals.

This “cool magazine” harmoniously combines the warmth of the created bouquet and the sweet filling of the box. This gift will definitely be remembered for a long time!

Your guests will immediately pay attention to the decorations decorating the interior, but will not immediately understand how this cup does not fall...

With a little patience and effort, you will create elegant decorations for your room, make a celebration unforgettable, or just give your loved ones an unconventionally decorated simple gift.

Inspiration and beautiful flowers!

You need to boldly use your own ideas to improve technology

Having made sure that the peduncle, calyx, petals, stamens, anthers and pistil have been remembered in every detail, you can begin making copies of them. Do-it-yourself voluminous paper flowers with step-by-step photo instructions, which are easy to find on increasingly popular sites dedicated to needlework, modeling, cutting, sewing and knitting, will be a good help in this. By acting according to the schemes proposed there, you can introduce rationalization ideas into them, which are born in huge quantities already in the first minutes of the implementation of the plan. It is advisable to subject the selected instructions to light criticism in order to understand at what stage it is better to abandon too primitive solutions in favor of more labor-intensive ones.

For example, you don’t have to limit yourself to cutting out parts from paper of a suitable color. Even a quick glance at a blooming rose is enough to notice the veins running through its petals. This means that the same lines need to be applied to the workpiece, using a felt-tip pen with a thin rod. It is better to make the plant elements themselves not according to a template, but by exactly repeating the outlines of the corresponding components. To do this, carefully separating the petal and pressing it to a sheet of paper, you will need to draw a contour, cut out a part along it, mark lines of folds and breaks, remove excess parts of the pattern with scissors, give the paper petal a natural shape and fix it with glue.

You can twist and secure flower petals using different methods.

The petals located in the center of the rose usually have the shape of a cone or tubes, which makes it possible to make them without glue. To fold corresponding pieces of paper in this way, you can use the so-called tenon joint, widely used in furniture assembly. To do this, you need to cut the petal so that a sharp protruding end appears on one edge. Having made a cut on the other edge of the workpiece, all that remains is to insert a paper spike there and bend it so that the connection obtained in this way is secured. Having collected the required quantity of petals in the center of the paper flower, the most important places for holding the resulting structure can be fixed with two drops of glue.

A short piece of soft insulated wire is also suitable for this purpose, which will then need to be hidden by painting it with gouache. In some cases, the central petals can be rounded and fixed in the inflorescence without using glue, wire, a spike or a cut. To do this, they usually select paper that has increased elasticity, which will itself retain the required shape under the pressure of the elements surrounding it. As a rule, after several trials and errors, an attempt to insert such a petal is crowned with success. In general, the less glue is used when assembling the inflorescence, the more similar the paper rose will be to the original.

In many cases it will be better to use a simpler method

In cases where paper flowers are needed not for interior decoration, but for decorating a children's party or creating a so-called photo zone in a television studio, they can be made using a much simpler scheme. There is no need to draw veins and make a complex pattern of parts, tint the edges and bases of the petals, carefully give them a natural shape, bending and twisting along the edges. Stems and leaves are not needed either, since the only necessary element in this kind of paper flowers is their cups. They are usually attached with needles, tacks or pins to curtains, rugs, bookshelves, bulletin boards and other items for just a few hours or days.

In such cases, petals are made according to a template that is searched on the Internet or copied from the pages of specialized magazines. Most likely, it will be a geometrically correct figure, and therefore it can be cut out very quickly. If the cup elements must be of different sizes, then there should be a separate template for each of them. All that remains is to trace it on a large sheet of colored paper and cut out a petal. If according to the holiday plan or the scheme for filling the photo zone you need a lot of flowers, then you can make several petals at a time by folding sheets of paper in a stack. True, if it turns out to be too thick, then cutting through it with scissors will not be easy.

You can speed up the connection of parts by using hot glue

Considering the fact that the petals may differ in shade, it makes sense to cut them out from sheets of paper of colors close in the spectrum. For example, large parts can be made from purple paper, and smaller ones from lilac paper. To slightly round such petals, they are wound, for example, on a tube of glue stick. Then the bases of the petals are cut and the edges thus obtained are glued, slightly overlapping one another to round the workpiece in the longitudinal direction. To join the edges overlapping, you can use the same glue stick, but some instructions say that hot glue applied to the surfaces to be joined from a hot glue gun is better for this.

The petals treated in this way are combined into a cup, covering their base with glue approximately halfway. As the funnel forms, the petals can be slightly bent in the vertical direction so that the flower gains volume. To make the bases stick together more firmly, you can take a narrow glass and, lowering it to the bottom of the cup, press it onto the adhesive joint. This operation will also give the paper flower an even more voluminous appearance. Having made another cup from smaller templates, you need to cover the bottom with glue, place it inside the first cup, then turn it so that the petals of the top are above the spaces between the petals of the bottom, and again press the junction with a glass.

Stamens are made from scraps of paper turned into a long narrow fringe

The cup, assembled from petals cut out according to the smallest template, is attached in the same way. In this case, it will no longer be possible to squeeze the bases with a glass, so you will have to use a tube of glue stick. To make stamens, you can take scraps of colored paper and turn them into fringe. It will need to be rolled up at the base and glued into a tube, which it is then advisable to wrap with a shorter fringe. All that remains is to bend the resulting stamens in different directions and, smearing them with glue, insert the resulting structure into the center of the cup. You can experiment a little with the arrangement of the stamens, for example, by limiting yourself to one fringe tube or using three or four layers of it.

In cases where purchasing colored paper seems difficult, you can make a flower from ordinary A4 office paper, having previously painted it with gouache. When the paint dries, you will need to perform all the same procedures that are used to obtain petals from factory-made colored paper. In this case, the final result will look somewhat pale, since gouache is unlikely to give the same thick coloring. That is why this solution is more suitable for making white roses, fuchsias, daisies, apple blossoms, petunias, meadow geraniums and white lilies.

Due to the fact that office paper can be somewhat softer than colored paper, this method will allow you to combine more than three funnels of petals into a cup, thereby significantly expanding the freedom of creative exploration. Thin napkins, from which, thanks to their pliability, you can use the method described above to create flower cups that are practically indistinguishable from the originals, and with a much more complex structure, will provide an even greater scope for the embodiment of artistic ideas.
