DIY paper daisies. Learning to make delicate flowers

Paper flowers can become not only a memorable gift, but also original decoration interior You can decorate any room with such crafts: the bedroom, the living room, and the children's room. Paper flowers do not require any care at all, unlike real flowers. Yes, and arrange them like this flower arrangements can be used in any part of the room, regardless of lighting. You can make paper flowers with your own hands without outside help. The main thing is to choose a suitable pattern, especially if you are new to this type of needlework.

Today we invite you to master the technique of creating paper daisies with your own hands - watch the master class with step-by-step photos.

To work on paper daisies, prepare the following materials:

colored double-sided paper in green, yellow and lilac shades;
crepe tape Green colour;
simple pencil;
ruler;
glue stick;
scissors.

Master class on creating flowers from paper “Do-it-yourself daisies”:

1) First we need to create blanks for the daisy petals. To do this, cut a strip 3-3.5 cm wide from a sheet of lilac colored paper.

Now you need to make small cuts along the entire length of the strip. To speed up this process, fold the strip in half, and then in half again, and after that we begin to cut the strip.

First, draw a line on the workpiece, retreating 5-7 mm from the edge.

2) When cutting, you must not cross the drawn line!

The daisy petals are ready.

3) We create the middle of the flower in the same way - we cut off a strip, but this time yellow, fold it several times, draw a boundary line with a pencil and create cuts along its edge.

The width of the stripes of the yellow blank should be slightly smaller than the stripes of the lilac blank.

3) The length of the stem of a natural daisy is approximately 9-11 cm. Prepare a piece of wire within the specified length. We wrap the wire with green crepe tape.

Apply glue to the solid edge of the yellow piece, and then wrap it around the tip of the stem.

Fix the end of the tape with glue.

Then we wind a lilac strip onto the base of the flower. We place it slightly above the tips of the yellow base.

5) Fix the bottom of the petals with glue and a wide strip of crepe paper.

Now you can straighten the daisy petals. We slightly twist them outward.

We twist several strips in the opposite direction - inward.

6) Cut out oval-shaped daisy leaves from green paper.

We give the leaves a realistic texture by drawing them with the back of a brush or a toothpick.

7) Glue the leaves to the flower stalk. Two leaves on one stem will be enough.

Hello to all residents and guests of the Country of Masters! Today I hope to make you happy new job. After spring flowers, summer flowers grew - poppies and daisies. And the dragonfly accidentally flew in.

The extensive master class did not work out, because... Halfway there the camera was lost. And when I found it, the painting was already completed. Nevertheless, I managed to photograph the main stages of the work, so I hope even novice craftswomen will understand everything. The size of the painting is 20x28 cm, and with the frame 26x34 cm.
The materials and tools are known to everyone: quilling strips (Korean-made) 2, 3, 5 mm and 1.5 cm wide; scissors, PVA glue, glue stick, glue gun, wire, 1 bead, handi paper for leaves, background paper, moss, piece of foam board, white acrylic paint.

Today’s MK concerns primarily flowers, but I’ll also tell you a little about the dragonfly. For poppy seeds we prepare red stripes 2 mm wide, green and light green 3 mm, 1 black 7 mm. From red whole stripes we twist elements in the shape of “eyes”.

One poppy petal has 12 stripes. They must first be glued in pairs like this...

And then glue the top part into the bottom like this.

Now with our hands we firmly press the half against a hard surface to straighten one of the sides and round the other.

All that remains is to glue the halves together in pairs with straight backs. The resulting petals are heart-shaped. For one flower you need to make 6 such petals.

For the middle, we twist a roll of soft green stripes, making it slightly convex. Glue thin black stripes crosswise on top. In the photo they look a little thick, because... it was macro photography. Cut fringe from half a 7 mm black strip and wrap it around the roll. The microbeads that you have already seen here did not please me as pollen - they quickly flew around, so later I used white instead acrylic paint, which was applied pointwise to the edges of the fringe with a toothpick.

We collect poppies. We glue together three petals with a heat gun - tier 1, three more - tier 2. We put one on top of the other, and plant the finished center in the center. Try to keep the flower shape slightly funnel-shaped.
For buds you need to take green strips 3 mm wide. From 5 strips with an initial pitch of 4 mm, we twist an ellipse, squeeze it into an ellipsoid and process it inside with PVA to fix the shape. From two such halves we collect one bud - completely closed, and from the other two - half-open. We insert several (2-4) red “eyes” inside. To plant them on the stem, use sharp scissors (before gluing the halves) to make small cuts at the end of the ellipsoids.
A capsule with seeds - 5 p. 3 mm, rolled into a roll. You need to make two of these rolls. We squeeze one deeply, almost into a cone; the second - make it slightly convex. We treat the inside with PVA, let it dry and glue it together around the circumference. We paste the joint with a green strip in one layer. I randomly cut out the top from brown paper, because... I didn’t have such a hole punch either. I drew the veins with a pencil.

We make daisies from white stripes 1.5 cm wide. We cut two strips with fringe, gradually increasing the width of the second strip by 6-7 mm from start to finish. We glue both strips with their wide ends into one long one. Cut fringe from a 5-mm yellow strip and twist it into a “fluffy” shape. Glue the narrow end of the white fringe to it and twist it to the end. Glue the edge and intensively fluff the flower with your fingers. The daisy is ready. Is it true, like the real thing?

For a half-opened flower, you can simply take one white strip, cut into a fringe, and do not fluff it all the way. We twist the buds arbitrarily, but you can do without them. For the flower cups, I took 1 strip of green color. A wire wrapped with green floral tape or paper is inserted into the hole at the bottom. We use the same wires, only longer, for poppy stems.

The shape of the daisy leaves is not visible in the photo, and I did not use patterns, but you can always find them on the Internet or examine the leaves alive in nature. I also cut poppy leaves by eye. And I drew the veins with the blunt end of tweezers. Each leaf is double, with a wire inside, so that later you can give it any position and turn in the plane.

The thing I struggled with the most was the dragonfly. There were no problems with the body. I wrapped napkins around the wire, thicker on one end and thinner on the other. I covered it with a strip of paper that I took for the background. I colored the breast with a black felt-tip pen. I glued a black bead to the place of the head. But it turned out to be too small. I racked my whole head, trying to figure out how to make it more realistic. Still, the main thing about a dragonfly is its unusually large eyes. The decision came unexpectedly. My gaze accidentally fell on a drop of glue flowing out of the nozzle of the hot-melt gun. Eureka!!! I dropped a drop from this gun onto a bead, and the glue began to spread over it and envelop it on both sides. I had to equilibrate in the air with a dragonfly so that the glue would spread as it should, evenly and symmetrically. Fortunately, it froze quite quickly.

For the wings, I was originally going to use quilling strips, but I rejected this because I found such wings to be too rough. And again my gaze inadvertently stumbles upon scraps of foam board, which I used when I made the frame with my husband. Inside, the foam cardboard is porous, airy, and even sparkles slightly in the sun. I cut off a thin layer of it with a breadboard knife, and with scissors I cut out the shape of the wings.

The wings turned out to be surprisingly “natural”! Even my husband exclaimed: “Wow! Great!” I liked my discoveries so much that I am now happy to share them with you!
It remains to add that a dragonfly is supposed to have 6 legs, since it is an insect. They are easy to make from thin black stripes by bending the “elbows” with tweezers.

Today I hope to please you with a new job. After spring flowers, summer flowers grew - poppies and daisies. And a dragonfly inadvertently flew in. The size of the painting is 20 x 28 cm, and with a frame 26 x 34 cm. Today’s master class concerns primarily flowers, but I’ll also tell you a little about the dragonfly.

Materials and tools:

quilling strips (Korean made) 2, 3, 5 mm and 1.5 cm wide,
scissors,
PVA glue,

wire,
1 bead,
handi paper for leaves,
background paper,

For poppy seeds we prepare red stripes 2 mm wide, green and light green 3 mm, 1 black 7 mm. From red whole stripes we twist elements in the shape of “eyes”.

One poppy petal has 12 stripes. They must first be glued in pairs like this...

And then glue the top part into the bottom like this.

These will be halves of one petal. We paste each one in one layer with a strip of the same color, so that all the elements rub tightly against each other.

Now with our hands we firmly press the half against a hard surface to straighten one of the sides and round the other.

All that remains is to glue the halves together in pairs with straight backs. The resulting petals are heart-shaped. For one flower you need to make 6 such petals.

This is the paper I chose for the background. They brought it to me last year from America. I still didn’t know where to use it. And luckily it came in handy.

And this is an already assembled composition. But still without a frame. I assembled it using a glue gun. Below I used colored moss, which I glued onto PVA.

And now the composition in the frame. It’s impossible to take a photo without glare, sorry!

Of course, paper flowers (using the origami technique) cannot compete with real flowers. Moreover, for many fresh flowers there is a principle: the larger the bud they have, the more beautiful they are and the more difficult it is to grow them. In origami, it’s often the other way around: the larger the original sheet of paper, the easier it is to fold a model from it, and the miniature models turn out beautiful. This fully applies to the flower collected in this master class. If you want to collect a small daisy, then know: the smaller the product, the thinner the paper should be. From the usual office paper You can easily assemble a flower from a square with a side of 14.5 to 21 cm. As for color, only the inner petals of a daisy are yellow; the outer petals are white, pink, pink-scarlet, and red. (See the note on how to make a flower out of paper with two different colors of petals.)

The daisy in this master class will be assembled from squares of yellow paper. Moreover, the lighter shade will be external, and the darker shade will be internal:

Step 1. Fold in half in two directions. A grid of 4 squares is obtained:

Step 2. We get a grid of 16 squares (4x4):

Step 3. We outline the diagonals (the fold should be made both “mountain” and “valley”):

Step 4. Bend the corners towards the center:

Step 5. The fold is made in the manner shown (not from edge to edge, but to the middle). The total number of such folds is 8 (2 on each side):

Step 6. A short fold is made between the marked points:

The total number of folds is 4. Step 6 is completed:

Step 7 Turning the sheet over, fold it into a “double square”:

Step 8 A standard operation when making some flowers, for example lilies, is to make a fold from the center and flatten the layers of paper:

Step 9 Flip through one layer (in any direction):

Step 10 Thanks to the folds obtained in steps 4 to 6, the paper is easily transformed into an “ice cream” shape:

Step 11 We work with each layer of “ice cream”. Bend the edges to the center line:

Step 12 Thanks to the folding step 11, it is easy to create internal reverse folds. The total number of such folds is 8:

Step 13 Flip the layer (in any direction):

Fold the sides from the top corner to the center line:

Step 14 Using the resulting folds from step 13, we form a protruding layer of paper (these are the future inner petals):

Step 15 Direct the resulting protruding layer of paper upward:

Repeat steps 14 and 15 on all layers:

Step 16 Place one layer of paper down on all sides (these are 4 of the 8 future outer petals):

The close-up shows the layers of paper with which the following operations will be performed - small triangles. This is jewelry work. Therefore, you may need an additional tool, such as tweezers:

Step 17 Fold the triangles down and back:

Step 18 Fold the triangle in half:

Step 19 Flatten the triangle into a square (along the folds of step 18):

Step 20. Fold the edges of the square to the center line:

Step 21 Using folds from step 20, move the corner of the square to the opposite side:

Step 22 Return the corner to its place (the square turned out to be an irregular rhombus):

Step 23 Fold the irregular rhombus in half upwards:

One of the eight inner petals is formed. Repeat steps 17 to 23 7 more times:

Step 24 Flip one layer (in any direction):

Step 25 The remaining 4 outer petals became available. Bend them down:

Step 26 Place any petal perpendicular to the workpiece and clamp it between the layers:

First (it’s easier) fix 4 petals:

... then 4 more:

Step 27 Gently straighten the outer petals, bending them slightly outward:

Step 28 Gently straighten the inner petals:

... and twist them slightly towards the center. The Daisy flower is ready!

You can make it out of daisies beautiful bouquet or kusudama:

Note. The note contains a diagram of the daisy and a method for coloring the flower.

Diagram: close-up shows 1/4 of the flower, where O is the center of the square leaf:

In the general diagram, one of eight zones is highlighted for coloring:

The photo shows which design is enough to apply on both sides in the same places so that the outer petals are the same color (for example, white) and the inner petals are yellow:

Kusudama, in addition to the function assigned to it in ancient times - to be a healing ball - is today used as original gift and/or for room decoration. Kusudama is assembled from parts, various shapes(these parts are called modules). A whole trend in creating kusudama is assembling flower balls. In this case, the separately assembled flower is one module. And usually several dozen such flowers (modules) are required. So, here is a master class on assembling kusudama from a flower.

The kusudama presented in this article can be called an origami product in a square. After all, not only is the ball itself made of paper (that is, kusudama), but also a separate element of this ball is a flower assembled from paper. Which flower will be used to assemble the kusudama? In this master class, as a module for kusudama there will be

Paper flowers are not only pleasant to see, but also to make with your own hands. In addition, they have a couple of advantages over their natural counterparts - they are much more affordable and durable. By the way, having learned how to make flowers with your own hands, you will never be at a loss if you suddenly need:

Wrap gifts;
Decorate the house for the holiday;
Festive;
Make props for a photo shoot;
Make gifts for loved ones, friends, colleagues or the child’s teachers/caregivers;
...or just update the interior.

From this material you will learn how to make flowers with your own hands from corrugated, colored or tissue paper (tish). 4 are waiting for you step-by-step master class with pictures and templates, as well as a selection of 70 beautiful photos and useful videos.

Application ideas

Later we will tell you about techniques for making flowers from paper, but first we suggest you be inspired by photo examples of their use.

Bouquets of paper flowers can not only be placed in vases, but also “planted” in cute flowerpots. To do this, they must first be stuck into a base made of polystyrene foam or floral foam. Next, the base should be decorated with dry moss or small pebbles.

Paper flowers in vases, pots or just buds without stems will decorate March 8, Easter, Valentine's Day or a wedding.

Even the simplest gift packaging will become elegant if you decorate it with homemade paper buds (see master class No. 1 and No. 4). In this selection of photo examples you can get a couple of original ideas.

Master class No. 1 - Flowers made of corrugated paper (basic instructions)

DIY flowers made from corrugated paper can look surprisingly lifelike. Although at some stages of their production you will have to tinker a little, even a beginner can cope with the craft the very first time.

This selection of photos shows examples of paper flowers that you can make yourself by following our step-by-step master class.

To work you will need:

Corrugated paper of the desired shade (for buds);
Green crepe paper (for stems, leaves, sepals) and/or crepe paper tape;
Floral wire (wire wrapped in green, sold in craft stores, on Aliexpress) or wooden skewer/wire/newspaper tube/knitting needle;
Scissors;
Glue (hot glue gun is best);
Pencil.

Master Class

Although almost any flowers can be made from corrugated (creped) paper - from roses to tulips - the principle of their manufacture is approximately the same. The main difficulty is to make the right petals: give them the desired shape, volume, size, choose the color of the paper, guess the quantity.

By following our master class, you will master the basic skills of making flowers from corrugated paper and will be able to make roses, peonies, tulips, lilies, daisies, chrysanthemums and dahlias.

Step 1. So first we need to make the stem. If you use floral wire, then simply cut it to the required length: a stem about 30 cm long is suitable for making a bouquet, and for, say, a boutonniere, 15 cm is enough.

If you don’t have special wire, it doesn’t matter. An excellent stem can be made from a wooden skewer, any flexible wire or newspaper rolled into a thin tube using a knitting needle/skewer. At the last stage, your improvised stem needs to be wrapped in green corrugated paper (we'll talk about this below).

Step 2. Since the pistils and stamens of all flowers are different, and sometimes there are none at all, there are many techniques for making the “cores” of artificial flowers.

To make a chamomile or daisy, you will need the core of a bud in the form of a yellow button. Poke a ball of cotton wool onto the stem, then wrap it in a couple of yellow squares cut from corrugated paper, wrap the base of the “button” with green corrugated tape and finally secure the tape with glue.
To make a rose core, you need to cut out a 9x9 cm square from colored corrugated paper, fold it into a triangle, then connect the two corners of the triangle to its vertex. Next, wrap the resulting torch-shaped blank to the top of the stem with green corrugated tape and secure it with glue.

The following photo illustrates blanks for making cores of different colors.

Would you like to present a bouquet of flowers? sweet gift(see photo below)? Use candy for the center! To do this, simply plant it on the top of the stem and secure it with tape/paper tape.

Step 3. Let's start making petals and forming a bud. This stage is the most important, so it should be given more attention. Depending on what kind of flower you want to make, choose one of two working methods.

Single petal method (suitable for roses, peonies, lilies and other flowers with a small number of petals)

As the name suggests, the method involves forming a bud one by one, petal by petal.

The first step is to draw and cut out a template of the desired shape and size (see templates below).
Then the corrugated paper is folded several times, a template is applied to it, the outline of the template is outlined with a pencil, and then cut out with scissors. As a result, you will end up with several blanks at once. Repeat the procedure several times to get the desired number of petals.

These templates will help you navigate the sizes, shapes and number of petals. Keep in mind that the length of rose, peony and tulip petals should be approximately 9-11 cm, and lily - 13.5-15.5 cm

Next, all the petals need to be given volume and bend: stretch a little and bend inward/outward, if necessary, wrap the ends with a toothpick/skewer (for example, for a rose). To understand exactly what shape the petals need to be given, just look at a photo of a real flower and experiment a little.

Corrugated paper easily stretches, curls and takes the desired shape

To make a peony, you will need to make 35 petals and a stem with a button. How to make petals: based on the photo, cut out the petals of the desired shape, then stretch them slightly and bend them inward, gather the base of the petals a little. The central petals need to be glued lower, and the rest – higher. When the flower is ready, slightly tuck the tips of the petals inward

To make a rose, use 5 small and 7 large petals (see template above). Round the petals just below the middle, and twist the upper edges onto a skewer/toothpick outward. Attach the small petals to the core first, and then the larger ones.

To make a lily, use 5 petals (see template above) and a pistil with stamens from red and white corrugated paper. Fold the petals in half lengthwise to form pleats, then unfold them. Give the petals a bend by turning them outward at their widest point.

Corrugated paper tulips are the easiest to make. You only need six petals, they need to be slightly rounded and the ends pleated

When all the petals are ready, start gluing them one by one to the stem, and then on top of each other, following a checkerboard pattern. A hot glue gun is best for this purpose. If there are not too many petals, then instead of glue you can use the same green corrugated paper tape (see photo).

Tape method (suitable for daisies, daisies, carnations and other “layered” flowers)

The difference between this technique is that the petals are cut out not individually, but from a strip of corrugated paper, when the workpiece becomes like a fringe. In this case, the petals acquire volume and bending (sometimes several layers at a time) only after the fringe is attached to the stem.

Cut a strip of corrugated paper to the desired length and width, then fold it in several layers and cut out the petals of the desired shape (see template below).

Wrap the resulting fringe tightly around the pestle and secure it with green corrugated tape, tape or glue. If there are too many layers, then to prevent the bud from slipping out of your hands, the fringe should be cut into several parts.

The central petals of the chrysanthemum need to be wound around the pistil quite tightly, the rest - looser and slightly higher

The carnation is made from three stripes (see template). The first strip just needs to be tightly gathered into a bundle and secured with tape/tape. The second and third strips need to be wrapped around it, holding and aligning the lower part of the bud. Next, the bud is fixed with corrugated tape or glue. Finally, pull the petals outward to give the carnation a rounded shape.

To make a dahlia, start winding the blank just below the pistil, but then wind the petals, rising higher and higher. Shape the petals into a round shape, curl the tips inwards slightly and finally pinch the tip of each petal to form a fold.

Give the petals a bend if necessary.

Now that the flower is almost ready, it needs to be supplemented with sepals and leaves on the stem. To do this, you need to cut out leaf blanks in the appropriate quantity, shape and size (refer to the photo or templates) and simply glue them in the right places.

The sepals are glued under the bud, then they are given a bend and volume.
To make leaves for some types of flowers, such as tulips or lilies, you just need to cut out the blanks and glue them to the stem. However, some flowers have leaves with stalks and they need to be done a little differently. Cut out the leaves (with a small margin for attaching), then glue them to a small piece of wire, wrap the wire in green paper, then glue the cutting to the stem. If desired, paper leaves can be replaced with artificial ones.

Hurray, your corrugated paper flower is almost ready! All that remains is to wrap the entire stem with a strip/ribbon of green corrugation, starting with the sepals and simultaneously wrapping around the place where the leaves are attached. At the beginning and at the end of the stem, the winding must be fixed with glue.
To make your handmade flowers even more realistic and last longer, cover them with melted beeswax and let them dry.

The following video tutorial will help you better understand how to make flowers from corrugated paper with your own hands.

Master class No. 2 - Large rose made of corrugated paper

Large hand-made flowers are good for decorating photo zones, ceilings and walls at special occasions (for example, at a wedding or birthday). They can also become spectacular props for a photo shoot.

To work you will need:

A roll of corrugated paper of the desired color 50×200 cm (1 roll/1 flower);
A roll of green corrugated paper (for the stem and sepals);
A4 paper (you can use office paper);
Hot glue gun;
Scissors.

How to make large paper flowers:

Step 1. First we will make the stem. Take a sheet of white A4 paper, place a pencil on the corner, then roll the paper into a tube.

Step 2: Unroll the crepe paper roll completely. First fold it in half, then double it again, then fold it again... is it a rectangle? Now fold it in half to make a square measuring approximately 25x25cm.

Step 3. Cut the folded paper into a square at all folds using scissors. You will get two identical stacks of square sheets, from which we will then cut out the petals.

Step. 4. Fold each stack in half. From the first rectangular stack, cut out a half-heart shape, as shown in the diagram below. From the second stack, cut the same shape, but smaller.

Unfold the stacks to make petals like this.

Step 5. Twist the ends of the petal with a pencil or pen, and stretch the petal itself a little and bend it inward.

Step 6. Give the petal an even more rounded shape by making two folds at its bottom and securing them with hot glue.

Step 7. Let's start forming the bud. Roll one of the small petals around the stem quite tightly.

Step 8. Start gluing on the remaining small petals, following a checkerboard pattern. When the small petals run out, continue to grow the bud with larger petals. In total, your rose will “overgrow” 15 petals (+1 petal in the center of the bud).

Step 9. Fold a square sheet of green corrugated paper (25x25 cm) diagonally to form a triangle, then fold the triangle in half 2 more times. From the resulting multi-layered triangle, starting from the fold line (!), cut out the shape as in the picture below. When you straighten the cut out piece, you will get a quatrefoil.

Step 10. Make a small cross-shaped cut in the center of the quatrefoil (see picture above), through the resulting hole, put it on the stem up to the bud, then glue the leaves with hot glue.

Step 11. Hurray, our big rose is almost ready. All that remains is to wrap the stem in green paper. To do this, you need to roll it into a roll, then cut off an approximately 2-centimeter wide piece from the edge (that is, the same as if you cut a piece from a roll). Now unravel the resulting tape and wrap it around the stem, securing the upper and lower ends with glue.

From the following video you will learn how to make large flowers from paper with your own hands.

Master class No. 3 - Hyacinths made of colored paper (suitable for children's creativity)

These hyacinths look like they were made by a quilling expert. In fact, even a child can make such paper flowers with his own hands! Making the first hyacinth will take some time, but you will spend no more than 5 minutes on each subsequent flower.

To make such a bouquet of flowers with your own hands, you will need a little more than half an hour.

To make paper flowers you will need:

Colored paper or not too thick cardboard (for buds);
Green paper (for stems);
Scissors;
Ruler;
Pencil;
Glue stick;
Knitting needle or wooden skewer.

Master Class

Step 1. Cut a strip of approximately 21x2.5 cm. If you are using colored A4 paper/cardboard, then you just need to cut the sheet crosswise.

Step 2. Stepping back 1 cm from the top edge, draw a line along the strip with a pencil using a ruler. Next, using scissors, cut your workpiece into strips approximately 5-7 mm wide, not reaching the previously drawn line. You will end up with something like a fringed ribbon. Try to cut the paper into even strips parallel to each other, but don’t worry about mistakes, because they won’t be noticeable when folded.

Step 3: Using knitting needle or a wooden skewer, carefully roll each strip into a roll until it stops. Make sure the pencil line is on back side paper.

Step 4. Now let's work on the stem. From green paper (cardboard will not work!), cut out a strip 21x2.5 cm.

By the way, if you want to save time, just use green straws as stems.

Step 5. Twist one corner of your strip diagonally, then lightly go over the entire strip with a glue stick (see photo) and finally roll the entire strip into a thin tube.

When you're finished it will look something like this:

Step 6. Now it's time to roll the bud and glue it to the stem. To do this, take the bud blank (a strip with curls) again and lubricate its base from the wrong side with glue.

Step 7. Hurray, your first paper flower is almost ready, all that remains is to add leaves to the stem. To do this, cut out a piece of green paper about 2.5 x 8 cm and fold it lengthwise into an accordion about 1 cm wide.

Assemble the accordion and, stepping back about 1.5 cm from the bottom edge, give it a leaf shape using scissors.

Master class No. 4 - Paper roses (express method)

This master class will come in handy when you need to make flowers with your own hands super-quickly, easily, on a budget and in large quantities.

To work you will need:

Any pretty paper (even book pages will do);
Green paper for leaves;
Glue (thermal glue is best);
Scissors;
Pencil.
Wooden skewers (needed if you want to make a bouquet).

How to make paper roses:

Step 1. Cut out a square piece of paper approximately 12x12cm.

Step 2: Draw a circle on your square and then draw a spiral inside it. It doesn’t have to be flawless for the roses to have texture. If you wish, you can make it completely wavy, then the rose will have pronounced petals.

Step 3: Cut out your circle, then cut along the spiral line. As a result, you will get something like a spring.

Step 4: Take the outer end of your "spring", roll it into a log (loosely), then begin to twist the entire ribbon around it. Hold the flower from below to prevent the paper from unraveling.

Step 5. When you reach the base (the inside of the blank), glue the bud to it with enough glue. Voila, the first flower is ready!

Step 6. If desired, the rose can be supplemented with leaves. They are cut out into any shape and glued.

Step 7. If you want to make a bouquet, then glue the buds onto skewers or a newspaper/paper tube. It is advisable to wrap the stems in green paper tape.
