Crocus is one of the first spring flowers. If you like to make various crafts, then you can make unfading crocuses that will delight you with their beauty all year round. Crocuses from corrugated paper with your own hands they turn out very beautiful. Show your imagination and use sweets instead of stamens.

Edible crocuses: give happiness

If you want to make a gift for loved one, an excellent solution would be to make your own paper crocuses. It’s easy to find a master class on designing flowers on the Internet, but you will need to stock up on the necessary materials in advance.

Of course, you will need multi-colored corrugated paper, but in addition, you should buy the necessary tools:

• tape;
• double sided tape;
• floral sticks;
• glue gun

On a note! When it comes to candies, it is better to give preference to sweets round shape in a wrapper. Too much big candies do not take it, since crocuses by nature are known as delicate and miniature flowers.

• multi-colored corrugated paper;
• floral sticks;
• wrapped candies;
• glue;
• double-sided adhesive tape;
• scissors;
• flowerpot;
• sample.

Step-by-step description of the process:

1. We will start making crocuses from sweets and corrugated paper with our own hands by preparing the material.
2. To do this, from a roll of corrugated paper desired color cut out several strips measuring 150x30 mm.
   
3. Fold each strip in half and find the center.
4. Now carefully twist the strip in the center to form a bend.
5. By appearance the blank resembles a bow.
   
6. We need to stretch the free edges of the corrugated paper with our fingers so that convex petals are formed.
   
7. To make one crocus you will need three blanks.
8. We take floral or wooden stick. We wrap double-sided adhesive tape around its tip.
   
9. Take the candy and straighten the edge of the wrapper.
10. Remove the protective layer from the adhesive tape and apply the candy so that the wrapper can be glued.
    
11. Press the wrapper with your fingers and glue it.
12. If necessary, add another piece of double-sided adhesive tape.
    
13. We distribute the prepared petals around the candy. Use your hands to shape the corrugated paper.
14. To ensure that the structure is reliable and the flowers do not fall apart, we will fix the petals at the bottom with a thread.
    
15. Do you see: the candy plays the role of the center of the flower?
    
16. Grabbing a little of the lower edge of the flower, we begin to wrap the stick with green tape or corrugated paper of the appropriate color.
    
17. Let's cut out a few more thin strips of green paper.
18. Make an indentation at the top of each strip with your fingers.
    
19. Using double-sided adhesive tape or tape, we fix the leaves to the crocus stem.
    
20. A sweet bouquet of crocuses is ready.

Advice! To make the craft complete, you can decorate the flowerpot, for example, using the decoupage technique or dot painting.

Experienced craftswomen have made crocuses from foamiran more than once. A master class for beginners can be easily found online. Just let's find out what foamiran is. This is a plastic material whose thickness is no more than 1 mm. Under the influence of heat, foamiran is easily deformed and takes on the required form and remembers it.

Important! For gluing parts made from foamiran, ordinary office glue will not work; it is better to use a glue gun.

Required materials and tools:

• multi-colored foamiran;
• scissors;
• pencil;
• sample;
• iron;
• a piece of corrugated paper;
• glue gun;
• small beads.

Step-by-step description of the process:

On a note! There is no need to trace the outline with a pencil or pen; just apply light pressure with a floral stick or skewer. The relief will remain on the material.

Important! When heating foamiran, be careful not to get burned.

Master class “Bouquet of crocuses”

Low-growing, graceful stem
And huge luxury flower –
Cheerful! bright! magic! –
They cause involuntary delight!!!

Author: Korotkova Elena Aleksandrovna, teacher speech group, GBDOU No. 69 Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg
The master class is designed for older children preschool age, teachers and parents.
Purpose: making a gift for the holiday.
Target: teach how to make flowers from crepe paper.
Tasks:
1. Teach how to work with crepe paper
2. Develop Creative skills, attention, memory, fine motor skills.
3. Cultivate neatness and interest in creativity.

Materials:

1. Crepe paper in five colors (white, yellow, purple, lilac, green)
2. Scissors
3. PVA glue
4. Cocktail straws
5. Roll from under toilet paper
6. CD
7. Wrapping paper
8. Satin ribbon

Progress:

To make the petals, we will need prepared strips of crepe paper measuring 12x3 cm, 4 pieces of each color (take one color twice), except green.
We twist each strip in the middle once. We should get “bows”

Apply glue to the edge of the bow and connect the opposite sides to each other

We collect the remaining petals in a similar way.
Now let's prepare the stamens. To do this, on a piece of white paper measuring 10x5 cm, make cuts to the middle of the piece

We twist the cut strips into flagella

Stamens can also be yellow color.
We wind the resulting stamens onto a straw, securing them with glue, then glue the first petal

Then glue the remaining petals

Now we need green paper. From it we cut out small narrow leaves measuring 6 x 1.5 cm. Glue them around the petals

We wind a narrow green strip onto a straw

We collect the rest of the flowers in the same way.

The number of flowers in the bouquet depends on your desire.
The finished bouquet can be tied with a satin ribbon

or put it in a prepared vase.
To make a vase, you need to wrap a toilet paper roll and a CD. wrapping paper

Glue the roll onto the disk, decorate with a ribbon

Your bouquet is ready!

Give for joy!
Thank you for your attention!

Crocuses or saffron appear. These are small purple, yellow, white, lilac, pink, blue flowers with a bright yellow (orange) core. Despite their simplicity, flowers are elegant and mysterious in their own way. Let's try to convey this beauty with artificial flowers and make a whole bouquet crocuses made of corrugated paper.

What you need for work

To create our creation you will need:

• white, yellow, green paper;
• stick (skewer, toothpick);
• wire or thread;
• PVA glue;
• scissors;
• decorative basket.

Let's talk a little about necessary material for a master class. For these colors, choose a smoother crepe paper (not accordion paper). Corrugated paper crocuses look like real ones, as the fine texture allows the material to take any shape under the pressure of your fingers. This paper is sold in rolls and cut sheets of A4 format.

The length of the stick will determine the size of the stem and petals. For small decorative baskets, vases, and pots, use a toothpick. For vases over 15 centimeters high, create large flowers on skewers. If the stems are made of wire, the flower can be tilted in any direction.

The basket can be bought or woven from paper. You can take it instead a plastic cup and decorate it under a vase or pot. Use any decorative hardware that you think will suit.

MK: corrugated paper crocuses

For one flower, you need to cut 6 strips of paper 13 cm long and 2.5 cm wide. The corrugated lines should be located along, not across. Find the center of the strip and twist it twice. This will be the base of the petal.

Now fold the strip in half and form the top of the petal. To do this, you need to stretch the paper upwards with your fingers. different sides. Try to turn the corners a little inward and round them. Squeeze and twist the base of the resulting double petal.

For the core, a small rectangle of yellow or cut into thin strips. You will get a kind of “fence” that you wrap around the stick and glue. Fluff the core a little and start growing the petals. First, attach three inner, then the same number of outer petals, give them shape and fasten with wire or thread.

Assembling flowers

We continue to make crocuses from corrugated paper. Take green paper and cut it into long strips two centimeters wide. IN in this case corrugated lines should be located across. Now make the leaves. Cut thin strips one centimeter wide.

We form leaves in two ways. In the first case, make the edge sharp by bending the corners. In the second case, twist the strip into a tube. You will get completely different narrow leaves, which you glue to the stem or wrap with green paper. For the stem, fold the strip in half and wrap it around the stem.

If you pay attention to live crocuses, you will see that they have a very interesting stem. The fact is that the petals of the flower are darker at the base and extend into the stem. Therefore, it can be made purple, and lilac, and Pink colour. Or make a sepal of six teeth from paper, which will be lighter or darker in tone compared to the petal. Using this principle, you make the required number of crocuses.

Basket for crocuses

Take a regular plastic bucket, cardboard and corrugated paper. The bottom line is that you will cover the bucket with corrugated tubes, which, due to their volume and “lumpyness,” will create an unusual appearance of a wicker basket.

How to make corrugated tubes:

• cut corrugated paper fifteen to seventeen centimeters wide (if you have ready-made sheets, then you don’t need to cut anything);
• mark the middle with a pencil;
• On 4 mm knitting needles, wind the paper from both sides to the middle;
• holding the knitting needles, squeeze the resulting tubes with their ends towards each other, creating an “accordion”;
• Carefully remove the corrugated tube from the knitting needles.

Now you paste these tubes over a bucket, from which you first need to remove the handle and protruding sides. Cut out a strip (handle) from cardboard and cover it with corrugated tubes. You can put plasticine at the bottom and stick corrugated paper crocuses into it. The basket with a bouquet of flowers is ready!

How else can you make crocuses?

In fresh flowers, the core immediately attracts attention. The bright orange pistil seems to burst out of a bud, in which light petals alternate with dark ones. By the way, the petals can be striped, so they can be painted. Some craftswomen (crocuses) make them in detail, that is, each petal is cut out separately. But then they need to be made not 6, but 12, in order to create volume.

How to make the core of crocuses more voluminous? Take corrugated paper and cut a rectangle 8 cm long. Cut it into centimeter strips and twist them into narrow sticks. Now grease them and dip them in semolina, which you have previously painted yellow.

Leaflets can be made according to the template. Or carefully bend a long 1.5-centimeter rectangle along the edges: creating an acute angle at one end, and obtain a centimeter base at the other. The sepals do not need to be made separately, but rather formed when wrapping the stem. To do this, bend the rectangular strip so as to create a little bag into which you place the flower, and carefully wrap the stem further with paper, attaching the leaves.

How else can you present paper flowers?

Crocuses can become not only decorative, but also a tasty gift. To do this, glue the edge of the candy onto a toothpick or skewer with tape, which you will wrap with petals. Here the petals can be made as follows:

• cut a long strip of paper;
• cut off the corners from one edge, forming a small base;
• on the other side, retreat 2 centimeters and twist the strip once;
• bend the end inward and form a convex petal.

The rest of the process of creating crocuses is the same as described above. Here it is important to secure the candy so that it does not tilt and deform the petals. Place this bouquet in a basket or vase and give it to your work colleagues.

Corrugated paper crocuses can be imagined as a three-dimensional panel. To do this, glue a basket of corrugated tubes onto cardboard, and insert and attach the made flowers into it. Frame it and get an unusual picture.

Spring is just around the corner, and with it the most long-awaited women's holiday, March 8, is approaching. It's hard to imagine this holiday without flowers.

Tulips, daffodils, mimosas, snowdrops are sold everywhere... But, unfortunately, fresh flowers will not be able to please us for long, and they are not cheap now, but we will not be upset and give up. TO women's day, as an original gift for your mother, grandmother, teacher, you can make original flower bouquets with your own hands. And it’s not at all difficult, but very exciting. I suggest making a bouquet of multi-colored crocuses from corrugated paper, because these are the flowers that appear among the first after a long winter and are gentle harbingers of the coming spring. This work will not take you very long, but the result will exceed all expectations! So let's get started...

To work we will need:
1. Colored corrugated paper;
2. Wooden skewers for kebabs;
3. Scissors;
4. Glue – pencil, PVA glue;
5. Semolina;
6. Thin wire.

Progress:
First, cut several rectangles (based on the number of desired flowers) from white corrugated paper measuring approximately 13*9 cm.


Cut them with thick noodles, leaving about 2-3 cm short of the end.


Using your fingers, twist each segment into a tight flagellum - these will be the pistils of the flowers.




Carefully dip the tips of the pestles into a container of PVA glue,


and then - into a bowl with semolina. Let them dry thoroughly.


We cut petals from colored corrugated paper and slightly curl them around the edges.




Please note that it is better to work with leaves if they are “cut” to the width of the corrugated paper, i.e. the leaf should stretch in width, not in length.


Now we begin to assemble our flower: we wrap the petals around the finished pistil (there are 5-6 petals for 1 flower), if necessary, lightly glue them at the bottom with a glue stick.


We insert a wooden skewer inside the flower and secure it, along with the petals and the middle of the flower, with wire.






We wrap the bottom of the flower and the wooden skewer with green corrugated paper tape, the end of which is lightly glued so that it does not unwind.


In order to make leaves, we cut out rectangular blanks, slightly pointed at the top.


Just as in working with petals, we slightly wrap the leaves around the edges.




Glue the finished leaves onto the stem, placing them on top of each other. A flower looks complete if it has at least three leaves.


To create a beautiful voluminous bouquet, we make several multi-colored flowers, put them in a cute vase and the gift for March 8 is ready!

Agree that these paper crocuses look just like real flowers! I think that mother, grandmother, and any woman will be delighted with such a cute spring bouquet, especially since it will be able to please everyone for more than a week. whole year right up to the next March 8th and will retain not only pleasant holiday memories, but also a piece of the warmth with which it was made!
Happy New Year to you women's holiday! Love, good luck, and of course bringing new creative ideas to life!

Corrugated paper flowers: how to make crocuses. Master class for children's creativity with step-by-step photographs.

Corrugated paper flowers: crocuses

In this master class, my children and I will learn how to make flowers - crocuses from corrugated paper with our own hands. These flowers can be used to decorate cards, albums, and gifts. Making these flowers is very easy!

If your children are not yet familiar with crocuses, first look at them in the photo. What kind of flowers do crocuses have? What shape and color are the petals? What kind of stems? What colors of paper can we use to make crocuses? (Crocuses come in different colors. They can be white, purple, lilac, blue, yellow, lilac).

Tools and materials for making crocuses

To make paper crocuses you will need:

• crepe (corrugated) paper,
• PVA glue,
• thin wooden kebab skewers,
• threads,
• scissors.

How to make crocuses from paper: step-by-step description and photographs

Step 1

Cut strips of crepe (corrugated) paper measuring 6 x 2 cm. For one crocus flower you need to prepare 3 strips. Calculate how many crocuses will be in your bouquet and how many strips you will need to make them.

Step 2

Fold all the strips of corrugated paper in half.

Step 3

— Gather (compress) the strip at the fold in the center.

— Using light movements of your fingers, twist the strip of corrugated paper twice at the point of compression. This should be done very carefully, as sudden movements can cause the paper to tear.

Even small children can take both the second and third steps, helping adults and older brothers and sisters in making flowers. Such exercises are very useful for development fine motor skills kids.

Step 4

Bend the strip in half where it is twisted. Spread the resulting petal so that it looks concave shape.

Step 5

Cut a strip of yellow corrugated (crepe) paper measuring 5 x 6 cm. Fold it in half and cut the top into strips. You will get stamens for a crocus flower.

Step 6

Cut the kebab skewer into 3 parts. One of the parts will be the stem of a flower - a crocus. Lubricate the skewer on one side with glue and screw the prepared strip of corrugated paper onto the skewer. The result is stamens on the stem of a flower.

Step 7

Lightly coat one petal in the center with PVA glue and twist it onto the stem so that the stamens inside the petal are located slightly below it (see photo). step by step photo 7 below). For strength, screw the petal to the stem with thread.

Step 8

Similarly, with a drop of glue, glue the second petal of a crocus flower to the stem, overlapping it partially on the first petal. Tie it with thread.

Step 9

Similarly, screw the third petal of a crocus flower to the stem, closing the gap between the first and second petals.

Step 10

Similarly, we collect several crocus flowers from corrugated paper for a bouquet. As a result, we get these flower blanks.

Step 11

Cut strips of green corrugated paper 1 cm wide. Lubricate the sepal with glue and wrap the green strip around the sepal and stem of each flower. At the end of wrapping, secure the strip with glue.

The flowers are ready!

Design options

• Made flowers can be placed in a special stand for creating flower arrangements.
• You can tie the flowers with a ribbon into a bouquet and arrange voluminous postcard with crocuses.
• You can make a basket out of cardboard or weave a basket out of twine and decorate it with flowers.

There are many options for using handmade flowers. What options can you offer?

Make your own crocuses and arrange them in a bouquet or basket. Good luck in your creativity! May spring and the first spring flowers come to your home!

How to make crocuses from corrugated paper and candy

Crocuses are made not only from corrugated paper, but also from corrugated paper with... candies. In this case, the candy becomes the center of the flower. How to make such a bouquet as a gift - see Anna Tyumerova’s video below. It's more complicated than the first one children's version crocuses given above.
