Application from napkins
What we need:
- colored cardboard;
- colored paper;
- napkins of different colors;
- PVA glue;
- scissors;
- pencil;
- eraser.
To begin with, on colored cardboard, draw the outlines of the future application. Next, you need to decide what exactly will be done in volume with colored napkins, and what will be done on a plane of colored paper.
To make balls, you need to cut the napkins into squares with a side of about 5 cm. Let the children roll small balls out of these squares with dry hands - they will surely enjoy this exciting process.
In a few minutes you will have a lot of paper balls, and all that remains is to glue them according to the pattern. Apply PVA glue to the desired areas of the picture and glue balls of napkins on them.
Make individual parts from colored paper. You can also cut rectangles from napkins and roll sausage tubes out of them, from which you will get antennae for butterflies, stems for flowers.

Make several of these flowers and collect them on a floristic ball for bouquets or on a cardboard base for a postcard. The card can also be supplemented with colored paper leaves and a beautiful inscription.
Napkin roses
I offer you three options for making a rose from a napkin. Watch and choose the one you like best.
1 option
In order to make a rose, you need one napkin. Cut off the two folded edges of the napkin and take apart all the layers separately.
To make the first petal, it is necessary to fold one layer of the napkin not in half, but so that one part is a little larger. Begin to twist the edge with a fold evenly along the entire length. On both sides, you need to twist the corners of the resulting rectangle.
Make petals from all the separated napkins. Twist the bud from the first petal and continue to wind all the petals in this way, gradually unfolding the petals that are further from the center. Make several of these roses and combine them into one bouquet. Similar compositions can be used for table setting.
Option 2
Lay out the entire napkin, fold the square into a corner. Wrap the lower part of the triangle by one centimeter and continue to fold, leaving a small triangle at the top. Twist the wrapped strip into a spiral. Turn the ponytails remaining from the triangle to the other side - these will be rose leaves.
3 option
Lay out the napkin into one large square. Twist the square with a tube. Step back six centimeters from one end of the tube and twist it tightly - this is the future base of the bud. From the opposite side of the tube, straighten the corner - it will be a rose leaf. Twist the remaining part below the sheet tightly. Open the petals of the bud, twist the center of the bud tighter.
Rose and water lily from napkins for table setting
On holidays, we especially want to see the table beautiful and elegant. Flowers from napkins will help to decorate it with minimal means, but such decor will look very bright, unusual, original.
Rose
Take a small glass and napkins of the same color. Place the corner of the napkin inside the cup and turn the opposite corner of the napkin down. Put the next napkins into a glass with a slight shift in a circle and turn the corner down in the same way.
After investing 12 napkins, remove the finished rose from the glass and put it on the table. Making such a rose will be a real surprise for the child and a worthy decoration of the dining table.
origami water lily
In working with napkins, you can use a technique such as origami with great success. Let's try to make a beautiful water lily using this technology.
Lay out the napkin and fold it diagonally. Unfold and fold the four corners towards the center. Then wrap all four corners to the center two more times.
Turn the napkin over to the other side and repeat this action once. Flip back and turn the petals out of the corners on the underside. Also turn the corners up from the bottom side.
Let's watch a video on how to make flowers from napkins.
Napkin - simple and necessary thing on the table. But not everyone will think about using it in a different way. Look at this little thing from the other side and then you will understand that the thinness of the paper from which it is made, elegant prints and relative cheapness (compared to other materials) make the napkin a unique raw material for creating unique crafts. This is unlimited ground for imagination, because with the help of an ordinary napkin you can create any shape. It's worth starting simple. For example, everyone can make flowers from napkins with their own hands, you just need to familiarize yourself with several techniques, as well as show a little perseverance and patience.
Rose technique
Do-it-yourself flowers from napkins can be made using single-layer or three-layer napkins. Most often, three-layer napkins will have to be divided into layers, then the resulting flower will be more beautiful and neat. In order to create a colored rose, we need 2 single-layer napkins. One of them is red for the bud, the other is green for the stem.
First you need to unfold and straighten the red napkin. Carefully cut off about a third of it. Fold the napkin in half. You need to bend exactly its upper half. Look at the picture and see how it's done. Wrap the top of the strip around your left index finger. Get a blank for the bud. Roll the napkin around the bottom folded edge. One corner will stand out a little. You need to pull it up, then bend it to the side. Spread the bud very carefully with your fingers so as not to crush the petals, but to give the flower a natural shape. To perform this action will require some skill.
For the stem, you will need one single-layer cloth completely unfolded, or one of the layers of a three-layer cloth, previously separated. Wrap the napkin around the rolled end of the bud as shown. In the course of twisting, transform the napkin into a stem. In the middle of the stem, you need to make a leaf, for this, pull the edge of the napkin, and highlight the corner out. Continue twisting the napkin to the end.
After completing all the steps, you can admire beautiful flower which was created by you. The rose flower is ready. You can make several such elegant flowers - this will be an original bouquet that you can even give. If you do not have multi-colored napkins, then you can make the bud and stem of the same color.
Technique "Dandelion"
Do-it-yourself fluffy, multi-layered flowers from napkins are made not only for bouquets, but also for creating applications with a three-dimensional effect. Consider the technique of creating a dandelion. You will need a three-layer yellow napkin, green colored paper, a stapler, cardboard, which will be the substrate for the composition, and a little imagination.
The principle of making a flower
We take a three-layer napkin and divide into layers. We take two layers for a flower and fold them 4 times. Let's put both layers together on top of each other. We fasten the layers crosswise with a stationery stapler, as shown in the figure.
Cut out a circle from a square blank. Along the circumference of the trimmed workpiece, we make cuts at an equal interval from each other (about a millimeter deep). Gently lift the upper thin layer with your fingers and squeeze it to the center. Do the same with the next layers. You can lift each individual layer or two or three layers at a time. The dandelion bud is ready, let's move on to the rest of the flower.
To create a picture, apply your creative vision. Cut out dandelion petals from colored paper, stick to the substrate as your flair tells you, so you get a beautiful, exclusive picture.
Using similar technique, you can make an arrangement of sakura flowers from napkins with your own hands. In this case, you will need to take the multi-colored layers of a three-layer napkin, at a certain moment divide the workpiece into four parts, cut a flower instead of a circle and then continue to work, as shown in the figure.
Technique "Carnation"
You can get another masterpiece if you master the technique of creating fabulously beautiful carnations. If you want to make a red flower, then take a three-layer napkin of the corresponding color.
Tear off a small part about 1 cm wide from the napkin. You need to tear it off, not cut it off. This will give naturalness to the edges of the petals. It is important not to tear off the fold, watch this. Unfold one spread of the napkin as shown. Fold the napkin in the form of a bow with an accordion. With the torn part, tie the bow in the middle, as in the picture.
Next, you need to separate one layer from either side of the bow, do the same with all other layers. The other part of the bow can be cut off and fixed with a stapler, this will be the base of the bud. Thus, you will get beautiful flowers from do-it-yourself napkins.
You can make a composition of multi-colored flowers, do not forget that carnations are white, pink, and delicate tea color.
If at the very beginning of the manufacture of the carnation you do not tear off part of the napkin, fold it in its original form, then, by cutting the corners of the folded strip in a semicircle, you can get a completely different flower. Having experimented with similar moments, you will get many variations of colors from napkins, made not just from improvised material, but also with your own hands.
Using glue, you can attach flowers from paper napkins to a spherical shape, dilute with beads and petals cut out of colored paper or fabric and get fabulous compositions with which you can decorate even the wedding interior in the hall.
Or you can use this one - a brighter bouquet in a pot. From afar you can not distinguish from real flowers
Such a bouquet will be an excellent decoration for any celebration, and if desired, it can be left forever.
Don't be afraid to experiment with materials. Often, what lies at our fingertips can appear in a new light and please the eye for a long time, just a little effort and creativity is enough.
