Now I will tell you step by step about making a flower template (stencil) for cutting.
It seems like the Internet is at hand, but we need to cut out flowers for paper garlands or for the design of a wall newspaper, and the desired shape Templates are nowhere to be found.
This means that we will make a template (stencil) on our own. In addition, this lesson is exactly on my topic: the development of fine motor skills of children’s hands and eye. Let's not miss such a wonderful opportunity.
A flower can have a different number of petals - cruciferous plants have four, buttercups have six, jasmine has eight. But the Rosaceae have five (or multiples of five), and the Rosaceae have authority. So we will make exactly the five-petal template.
This flower fits into a circle.
Oh! But we don’t have a compass at hand.
No problem - I’ll get the circle by tracing my favorite rescue cup around the edge. We sculpted it, we gave the elephant tea from it, and now she is the sponsor of the flower circle.
But. But when working with a circle, we must start from the center. Where is he here? I put a point by eye and check whether all radii are equal. Oh yes I am! - almost ten.
I’ll draw the middle of the flower - a small circle and by eye I’ll divide the circle into five sectors. And without a protractor - again, by eye.
Now let’s check how accurate our eye is: we’ll make an angle out of paper and use it to check whether all five angles are equal.
So, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll correct it. Now let's add a petal to each sector.
This is a sketch, we just want to decide on the shape of the petals. Let's say it's teardrop-shaped. I bend the same corner of paper in half and draw half a petal.
I cut it out - here is a template for a separate petal.
I apply and trace. Now it is important to rotate the picture several times, carefully comparing the petals to make sure that everything is fine and there are no distortions. I made the drawing on paper.
And the template must be strong and rigid. Yeah, I'll have to cut it out and trace it onto cardboard.
Now I turn again and see if it’s level. Otherwise, with all these cuttings and tracings, errors inevitably arise.
Look, the student drew the flower well, but was in a hurry, carelessly cut it out, and the template turned out to have different petals. That's it - quality control is needed at every stage of work!
So, I double-checked my template and now it’s time to take on the flowers. Let's re-read it first and try to distribute the flowers sparingly across the leaf. On a standard A4 sheet I got it like this.
Every woman dreams of being surrounded beautiful flowers. In order for them to always be with you, you can create various flower arrangements directly on the walls of the room.
All kinds of flower stencils can be made with your own hands or purchased in a store.
Flower stencils are a great option for quickly changing your interior. When using them, you can create real flower arrangements on the walls of your apartment and enjoy a cozy atmosphere.
Advice! Among the many types of flowers, professionals recommend choosing roses and daisies for wall decoration.
You can make flower stencils with your own hands, armed with thick cardboard or polymer film. Flower stencils and templates are a great way to decorate a living room or a young princess’s room.
Roses or daisies, made on a dark background, can even be used to decorate the entrance. First, stencils and templates are transferred to dense material so that they can be used for a long period of time. Next, the surface that will be decorated with flowers is selected, and the design from the stencil is carefully copied onto the wall.
Using a flower stencil, you can make positive changes to plain items of clothing.
How to create a stencil of flowers for cutting out of paper? The templates offered in stores are completely ready to use. You just need to stick or sew it onto the product, then proceed to transfer the design.
Advice! Armed with a “flowers” stencil, you can update your old plain wallpaper.
In addition to wallpaper, such stencils are suitable for decorating windows and ceiling surfaces.
If you arm yourself watercolor paints, you can create entire compositions on the windows.
To do this, you first need to attach a stencil to the window, trace it along the contour, then paint over the inside of the picture with certain colors.
Child psychologists are convinced that “flower” stencils are needed for decorating preschool institutions.
Various color stencils on the wall allow you to create real stained glass windows. For example, if you decide to create a lawn of daisies on the wall of a children's room, they will look great against the backdrop of dark, rich shades. The rose stencil looks harmonious on a green wall, and you can also choose light colors for it.
Roses are considered noble flowers, so they are characterized by different shades.
Advice! When creating flower pictures on the walls, you can involve children in the work. They will be able to show their Creative skills, will feel the demand for work related to the design of the room.
When creating flowers for decoration with their own hands, children develop artistic taste and develop fine motor skills.
Children can make various paper flowers on their own; for such work they do not need the active participation of a teacher.
You can also use flower stencils for shared leisure time. For example, first children work with ready-made templates, creating the basis of the composition, and then add additional elements to the drawing at their discretion.
Rules for making a stencil
In order for the created template to be used for a long period of time, professionals recommend creating them from durable polymer material. For example, you can arm yourself with a thick film, making a rectangular piece out of it. Next, a drawing option is selected.
Advice! To make the stencils easy to use, it is best to choose simple designs in which you can draw all the details.
A pattern is applied to the prepared surface, then cuts are carefully made with scissors, then all unnecessary fragments are completely cut out, obtaining a workpiece ready for use. Without certain skills, it will be quite difficult to immediately make a complex workpiece with your own hands, so professionals recommend trying to make a simple template first.
Master classes on making flower patterns can be found in design magazines. If you strictly follow all the stylists' recommendations, you can create excellent templates with your own hands that are suitable for decorating walls, ceilings, and window openings.
Creating a stencil
Before you start painting directly on the wall, the surface must be carefully prepared. For example, if unevenness is detected, the wall is leveled and then primed.
Advice! Plaster mixtures are suitable for work related to priming the surface.
The walls are primed with deep acrylic impregnation so that a durable and high-quality surface is obtained. Next, you can proceed to applying the base. Professionals recommend choosing white façade paint as the base; you can purchase it at any hardware store.
Attention! For the base, you need façade paint intended for exterior finishing work.
After the fragment of the surface on which the stencil will be used has dried, it can be washed with water.
Paint for interior works is not suitable due to the fact that during use of the captured image, it will gradually be washed off, as a result the picture will lose its aesthetic appearance.
To carry out decorative work, you will need a color scheme intended for outdoor use. Professional interior designers recommend choosing brushes with artificial bristles for work related to transferring designs onto the surface of walls.
Brushes with natural bristles are not suitable for such work (they leave streaks on the surface).
In order for the brush to be used several times, immediately after use, it must be washed.
Advice! To set the color and dilute several shades of colors, you will need ditches. The colors can be mixed in any clean containers available on the farm.
The process of making a drawing
If you decide to use a ready-made stencil, you can transfer it from paper to a plastic blank. For example, the remains of a thick document folder are suitable for these purposes. Using a marker, you need to transfer the drawing to this base, then use a sharp knife or scalpel to cut out the contours of the image.
Advice! If you plan to use large stencils to decorate walls, you can attach the stencil to the wall using tape or special glue.
The glue is first sprayed onto the stencil, and after a few minutes you can glue the template to a specific area of the wall.
Types of stencils
If desired, you can choose multi-layer or single-layer stencil options. If you choose a single-layer pattern, you can apply the design in one go. The disadvantage of such blanks is the ability to use only one color.
Multilayer stencils are suitable for repeated use. You need to work with them in stages, allowing each layer to dry completely. To obtain desired result, the bottom layer must be applied first, then the next color is added to it. Work is carried out until the entire color gamut selected for a particular image is used.
Conclusion
Many owners of urban and suburban real estate are not limited to using traditional options decorating walls and ceilings, they try to use their creative imagination, make stencils to complement plain paint or wallpaper with original compositions of roses, daisies, and bells.
In order for the created drawings to become a true decoration of the interior, it is necessary to think about not only the size of the drawing, but also the colors that will be used for it.
Paper flowers can be used for interior decoration, decoration and even as a gift! Let's try to learn how to make voluminous paper flowers with our own hands, look at examples and photos of beautiful finished works, and also watch a master class for beginners.
The easiest way to make flowers is from colored paper - it can be corrugated or ordinary, and if you plan to make strictly decorative flowers, you can take paper with a mother-of-pearl or metallic effect. You shouldn’t make a tulip or a rose as your first experiment - try something very, very simple first.
Decorative crafts
In order to make simple and spectacular flowers you will need:
- double-sided colored paper (corrugated paper is also suitable);
- thin wire;
- sharp scissors and a pencil for marking.
It's better to take colored paper several shades, so your flowers will look impressive and attractive - for example, they can be shades of yellow or several tones of red. Don't try to mix cool and warm colors if you doubt your taste.
For beginners, the easiest way to do this is to fold colored paper several times so that you get a stack of squares approximately 6*6. Then mark the shape of the future buds on the top square with a pencil - it can be a smooth rounded figure, regular circles, or whatever your imagination suggests.
Then, using scissors, you need to carefully cut the stack according to the shape of the marked sepal and disassemble it into components - for each flower you will need three to five blanks. The wire needs to be cut into pieces of about 15-25 centimeters, twisted on one side so that a decorative center is formed, then the previously obtained “petals” are put on each wire, after which a stand is made at the bottom of the wire (a stable ring is twisted).
With such crafts you can decorate a table for a holiday, or use them for a photo shoot or interior decor, or you can simply attach them to the wall in the nursery or in the hall near the mirror - good mood secured.
Or this simple option:
From what is at hand
Old magazines or newspapers are used to make these products. This way you can make large flowers out of paper - the technique is simple, and paper crafts turn out to be quite impressive.
What you will need:
- unnecessary magazines (absolutely any);
- green adhesive tape;
- sharp scissors;
- large barbecue skewers;
- paper glue or regular hot melt glue.
How to make voluminous paper flowers easily and quickly? I'll tell you step by step.
- Disassemble the magazines into pages and choose the brightest and most colorful ones - these are the ones we will use to make decorative paper crafts.
- Each page must be folded four times along its length, cut with fringe from the fold side, not cutting to the edge about one centimeter.
- Let's start making the buds directly - you need to take the resulting fringed ribbon and wrap it around the top of the skewer, securing it with glue or adhesive tape. This is how buds of voluminous flowers like asters and chrysanthemums are made.
- Then you need to make several turns around the skewer with a fringed ribbon so that the bud turns out lush and beautiful. When there are enough turns, you can glue the free edge of the fringe so that the bud holds on.
- Wrap a skewer with adhesive tape, cut out plant petals from magazines, shape them and glue them. Your beautiful and fluffy flowers ready.
By the way, these recommendations can also be used for beginners - they are quite easy to do. If you want to make such flowers with children, then make sure that they have safety scissors, or cut the fringe yourself.
Decorative flower garlands
Want to make chic garlands? Use giant paper flowers for them. By the way, making paper flowers for garlands with your own hands is very simple - you only need beautiful, eye-catching paper and a little skill. No flower templates for cutting out or diagrams are required; the main task of such large products is to look bright, unusual and attractive; large paper flowers do not have to be realistic.
- scissors;
- corrugated paper of two or three colors (it is better to take bright and light);
- thread or fishing line;
- stapler or glue.
From corrugated paper you need to cut rectangles and put them in a stack of five. If you want to get flowers of the same color, then fold them by color. And if you want to do original flowers made of paper, then put several shades in one pile - pink, white, light red and yellow will look chic.
You can choose the size of the rectangles yourself; you just need to remember that the flowers will be the same diameter as the rectangle on the narrow side.
Each pile is assembled into an accordion (look at the photo on how to make flowers from such accordions, if it is not too clear from the description).
Each accordion of five sheets of paper must be fastened in the center with a stapler or glued with a paper ring. It is best to round the edges of the accordion - cut out something like a petal.
Now each blank needs to be turned into a bud - straighten the buds from the accordions you made. The accordions need to be straightened in different sides, and you will see how you can create beautiful paper flowers in just a few seconds.
Then cut the required length of fishing line or thread, and string the buds - your garland is ready.

If you want to show your imagination, try tinting finished goods with a thin brush using the watercolor technique - with veins, the flowers will look even more elegant and interesting.
Good afternoon, today I'm finally uploading large selection master classes on the topic of paper flowers. Here are the most interesting ways to make paper flowers. We will make a variety of flowers - flat and three-dimensional - from corrugated paper and thick colored paper. I will show you every craft step by step in photos and I will give as much as possible detailed instructions to each flower made in one way or another. I will also give stencils– templates of flower silhouettes. All the crafts I collected are posted in order from simple to complex. First of all, we will study the MOST UNDERSTANDABLE techniques for folding paper flowers (those that are easy to understand and repeat ourselves)... and gradually move on to MORE COMPLEX and painstaking instructions (to prefabricated detailed flowers and the origami technique). I also uploaded a special article dedicated to in different ways make a paper rose - here is the link to it
And, for educators (teachers and educators) I made an article with simple children's crafts WITH FLOWERS, which can be done in class at school and kindergarten from paper and other materials:
I specifically decided to do so big a selection of paper flowers in one place - with the goal that you can immediately find a suitable scheme for assembling a flower for THAT PAPER THAT YOU HAVE, and for the task that you want to solve with the help of paper flowers (a flower craft as a gift for mom, decoration children's day birthdays with voluminous flower arrangements, wedding decoration, decor of cards or gift bags).
The only thing I didn’t include in the body of this article was PAPER ROSES. Ways to do volumetric rose I found so much that I had to put these crafts in a separate article on the same site, it will be called that “Paper roses - 20 ways to make them yourself.”
But before we begin the master classes themselves, I want to make you fall in love with the very idea of paper flowers. I want even casual visitors to this web page to have itchy hands and eyes to light up. And I want to awaken in you delight and a burning desire to make a flower with your own hands. So that this magic arises... so that your soul also spreads its petals and blooms...
Let's see what piece of life a flower you made can decorate. Here are examples of how an ordinary table setting can become very beautiful and formal with lush floral crafts.
Also, large paper flowers made of crepe or corrugated paper are used for decorative purposes. for celebration decoration– wedding hall, children's birthday party, incendiary party. They are mounted on the wall or on the backs of chairs, or tied to window handles.
But such large flowers can be made from A4 paper (office format) or from a roll of corrugated crepe paper.
Photographers and photo studios also use voluminous large paper flowers as exclusive props for staged photographs.
You can also make such a large paper flower simply as a gift for Mother’s Day, or for March 8th. Surely no one has ever given your mother something like this before. Will be remembered for a long time. And you can also take a picture of your mother right away with this flower - she will proudly post this photo on her social media page.
Ordinary plastic combs, rims and metal pins can also be decorated with voluminous paper flowers. So we will get elegant hair decorations for a wedding or party.
Miniature paper flowers can decorate postcards self made , and other scrapbooking crafts (like these delicate crepe paper pansies).
Also, a paper flower made with your own hands is the best decoration for gift box . And not costly. A lush gift ribbon costs much more than a couple of sheets of colored or white office paper– a few movements with scissors and an orchid made of paper or a delicate one has bloomed on your packaging pink color wild rose hips.
And the flowers themselves can be a great stand-alone gift. If you arrange your work in the form of a basket, or a decorative panel (as in the photo with poppies made of colored paper).
If you learn how to make paper flowers with your own hands, you can use this talent in many areas of life. It will be simple and easy for you to decorate a hall for any holiday, decorate a family celebration at home, or beautifully decorate gifts for relatives and friends, or entertain the neighbor kids by organizing interesting craft with a master class.
METHOD No. 1
PAPER FLOWERS
I decided to call the flowers made this way "puff pastries" because their construction principle is the same as that of puff pastry. Subtle layers of floral silhouettes overlap each other. And each layer is given convex volume(or faceted relief), and due to this the flower looks lush and voluminous.
Here in the photo below we see step-by-step master class for beginners on creating such a voluminous dahlia flower. It is the dahlia that is not to be confused with the aster; the aster has narrower petals and each has an edge (a raised fold like on trousers).
So... let's look carefully at the photo of the flower craft below. The trick here is that paper is cut layer outlines– each contour has six petals, and differs from its counterparts only in size. That is, the shape of the stencil is the same - only the size is different.
Before gluing each cut paper arch the silhouette in order to give it a natural shape. We begin gluing and assembling the paper dahlia from the little ones middle layers to larger and larger ones.
Of course you have a QUESTION:“And how to cut such uniformly sized petal circles-layers.
ANSWER: Here's the one simple and quick way make such a flower with your own hands as a novice master. It does not require searching for a stencil template, but allows you to obtain geometrically even petal parts for paper flower.
- Take a sheet of paper and glasses different radii. We trace them on a sheet of paper.
- We cut out the resulting rounds, fold each round in four and in half again (as when cutting out a snowflake). And on such a round piece folded into a triangle we draw outlines of two petals (like a heart).
- We cut this contour with scissors (see photo below) - we deepen the cutout in the middle of the heart - we unfold it and get a petal layer.
Because we have circles of different sizes - then we will get petal layers different in size. We set the relief, put it together, add a yellow stamen-middle (stamens will be discussed below).
Such delicate flower you can string it on a wire (make a stem) and give it as a gift paper bouquet for Mother's Day to my mother.
ANSWER: An ordinary round stick (pencil or pen, or knitting needle) can serve as a stamp for imprinting relief on the petals. Here's how you can do it yourself, you can clearly see in the flower photo below.
The flower assembly diagram is the same as the previous one (see step-by-step photos).
Using the PAPER PAY technique you can make a variety of three-dimensional flowers (anemones, poppies, asters, dahlias, roses). The evidence is in the photo below.
You see – the same “puff” method – but the results are completely different flowers. And all due to the fact that the silhouettes of the paper petal layers are DIFFERENT IN THEIR OUTLINES.
And don’t forget that not only the contour (silhouette, shape of the petal) is important... but the RELIEF of the petals is also important. It is the correctly defined relief that transforms flat outlines into living convex layers of the future flower.
For relief we need round sticks of varying thickness (thin knitting needles, toothpicks, thick round-sided markers, felt-tip pens, spherical perfume caps, or lollipops). Any items that will help set the shape.
So that the relief lies neatly on thick paper– you may need to slightly moisten it before work (sprinkle it from a spray bottle or hold it on a wet towel). Try it and see how it works better - dry or wet.
And here's to you ready-made templates puff paper flower. Flower stencils are already several sizes. You can right now put a sheet of paper on the glowing screen and trace with a pencil these silhouettes shining through from the screen onto your sheet of paper (this is my favorite way copy the template without any printer - not every home has a printing device).
And you can also resize any template using a computer mouse.
Look - in the photo below I give you a template silhouette. Silhouette is only ONE size. Do you want to get this silhouette? different sizes– to make a multi-layer paper flower craft.
To change the size of this silhouette, you press on the keyboard with one hand buttonCtrl, and while holding this button pressed, use your other hand to turn the mouse wheel - back and forth. And from this action of yours, everything that is now drawn on your screen increases or decreases, depending on where you turn the wheel - away from you or towards you.
Try this right now– press and twist. See how the stencil design image below has changed size? This way you can directly on the computer screen, adjust the template to any size and trace it with a pencil on a sheet of paper placed on the screen of your monitor. This is the fastest way to get the outline of any flower stencil immediately in any size we need.
There you are curly templates future paper flowers - and you can change the size of the picture yourself. And you can design and create any paper flower with your own hands. 
Let’s also take a closer look at the interesting additions to such layered colors.
How to make a stamen
in puff paper flowers.
Below is an interesting step-by-step lesson where we see how a stamen for a multi-layer paper flower is created step by step.
How to apply
large inflorescence
on one stalk.
And I would also like to show another one here clever and simple trick which allows you to do whole inflorescence of flowers on one stem. In nature, flowers are often found where many flower cups nest in one place and have common central stem.
This is exactly the kind of flower craft that the step-by-step master class in the photo below will demonstrate.
- We cut out a bunch of stems with a common round base from green thick paper (or cardboard). We glue double-sided tape onto this round base.
- We twist a tube from a newspaper and wrap it in green paper. Glue the tube-stem to the round base - twisting it around the stem.
- We make flowers (from two red layers and one black stamen). We glue each flower onto its stem. We add wide leaves to the central stem-leg. It turns out to be a very beautiful stem-bouquet made of paper.
How to make a layer flower
WITH ASSYMETRICAL petals.
But in the photo below we see from what shape the layers are used to create an ORCHID paper flower with your own hands.
In a glass of water add a drop of green paint– we get light green water. We wet the white parts of the orchid with this water; they become white-green (just like in nature).
Further while the pale green petals are still wet, we apply lines of purple paint on them - on wet paper the lines themselves blur slightly - we get an uneven, blurry color (exactly like a real orchid).
The middle part of the orchid - upper layer We also make it green... and along the very edge (right along the cut of the paper) we paint it bright purple. Thus, when we lift this top layer up, the purple edges stick out upward with their color, imitating the position and color of the furry central petals of an orchid.
The same principle is used to create various asymmetrical flowers-crafts. Let's remember what other flowers do not have circular symmetry in their cup... that's right, these are PANSIES (photo below).
- Lower layer of blue petals (total 2 pieces with location in the upper direction).
- After blue layer petals (also 2 pieces spread out to the sides).
- And the third top layer in the form just one white petal.
- Then we smear the central part of the flower yellow, draw the central lines with a pencil. We make yellow stamen balls from crumpled paper (or from plasticine).
A simple DIY craft that even a child can do. The main thing is to prepare templates in advance that the child will trace on colored paper.
Volumetric puff flower
made of THIN paper.
We do such techniques as “different layer sizes” and “work on folding the relief on paper petals” only when we use ordinary THICK COLORED PAPER
But if If you make flower crafts from CREPE, CRUMPTED PAPER, then you don’t need to specify the relief there. The texture of the paper itself will make it fluffy. volumetric flower.
Moreover, The corrugated structure of the paper allows you not to even bother with getting LAYERS OF DIFFERENT SIZES. That is all layers of the flower can be the same size. The master classes on paper flowers below clearly prove this.
Do you see? All layers of the flower are the same size. We pierce the middle of the layers folded in half with a hole punch (or a needle and thread, or fasten with a stapler). Unfold the flower and fluff its layers into fluffy pompom. These are very beautiful large paper flowers.
This is perhaps the easiest and lightning fast way to make a flower with your own hands. It turns out big, lush, rich and expressive.
If we choose napkins of two colors and apply them alternating colors, we will get a play of halftones in each layer, and our flower will look like a rose.
You see, in the method below we make identical silhouettes from napkins of two colors (in shape and size like twin brothers). Under the bottom we place a piece of cardboard with two holes (like a button... however, the cardboard can be replaced with a button). And we thread threads into the holes and pierce through all the layers of the napkin. We tie a knot in the middle of the flower and fluff out all the corrugated layers of the craft with our hands.
Think for yourself how you can diversify and complement this airy napkin flower. You can also add border color– to do this, slightly stain the cut out napkin silhouettes along the edges with an office marker.
Turn on your imagination... and let her play around with napkins to her heart's content. There is never a shortage of tea napkins. And suddenly you will give birth to your own designer flower.
And red carnations are made using the same method. Identical round pieces with a jagged edge are also cut out of a napkin - and deep cuts are made into the petal parts. And then they simply overlap each other with a drop of glue in the center... or instead of glue in the center, we pierce them with a stick (there will be a stem on it. Beautiful flower craft with your own hands on February 23rd for dad, or on Victory Day for grandfather.
And exactly according to the same principle as carnations (on step by step lesson above) double Lingeri daffodils are also made. This is what they are like in nature – lush and voluminous.
Spring flowers made of paper – good gift for mom on March 8th. And now you will find out how easy it is to make them yourself.
And here's how to make them from dyed paper napkins. We place a stack of napkins on top of each other - fold them into quarters - into a triangle - cut the edges with a jagged semicircle. We paint the top napkins in a bright yellow color, and the middle layers of napkins in light yellow color, leave the bottom layer white.
Now about the material. Daffodils are gorgeous, you say, but where can you get these paper colors (pale yellow and bright yellow)? Here, I tell you, there are 2 ways at once - 1) dye white paper napkins 2 shades of yellow... or 2) get a pale shade of yellow from bright yellow crepe crepe paper.
INSTRUCTION No. 1. How to dye a white paper napkin.
ANSWER: We paint the napkin in a straightened form with tinted water. Dye some water in a glass and pour it onto a straightened napkin. We wait for the napkin to dry naturally (about a day).
INSTRUCTION No. 2. How to make light yellow from bright yellow crepe paper.
ANSWER: Take yellow crepe paper - put it on a wet towel - put a dry white napkin on top. We iron it with an iron - the bright crepe paper gives up its moisture to the dry napkin, and along with the moisture it partially gives off its color. And we already get PALE YELLOW crepe paper. This way we can change the shades of crepe corrugated paper.
As you can see, everything is solvable - if you turn on your head and think... and try to experiment. Knowledge often comes through experience (even if this path is messy). One bad experience can give rise to several ideas at once. I somehow wet the crepe paper and ruined the craft, but I saw that when it gets wet, the crepe paper loses its color. And one day I spilled water for washing brushes on paper napkin– and it turned into a soft, even color. So out of two jambs - I got 2 experiences in changing color for delicate and thin paper textures.
Well, this was all just about the FIRST METHOD of making paper flowers with your own hands. I deliberately made this first chapter of our article so extensive and detailed so that you immediately understand a simple and important truth:
Even one single design can have MULTIPLE CONTINUATIONS... numerous variations... endless designs. And you yourself can become an author - and create your own own flower ».
made of paper, made in the same way of “shaped layers superimposed on each other
Now let's look at the next way to make flowers from colored paper with your own hands.
METHOD No. 2
Paper flowers
TWISTED INTO A TUBE. We have been familiar with this method of creating flowers since childhood. We all made classic flower crafts at school or kindergarten. for February 23 - red carnations made of crumpled crepe paper
. They twisted a strip of paper around a toothpick, wrapped a piece of green paper around the twist, and fluffed a bunch of flower panicles.
And it never occurred to us that inside this primitive method there was hidden a recipe for more than just the humble clove. This method " twisting crepe paper into a roll"
can give birth to completely different three-dimensional and flat flowers. It all depends on how we changed the SHAPE OF THE EDGE OF THE PAPER STRIP. Depending on its pattern, we will get paper flowers that are completely different in design.
Here's photo proof. Do you see? Different regions produce different flowers
– disheveled aster, neat chamomile, chrysanthemums. Even roses can be made in this way (but roses will be discussed in a separate article - in detail and in detail, as befits the queen of flowers).
And not only from soft corrugated (crepe) paper you can make craft flowers using this ROLL technique. Here you go in the photo below - an example of paper flowers in the same roll rolling technique
FROM REGULAR THICK COLORED PAPER (office double-sided colored paper).
- This is a simple job and very simple instructions.
- A narrow strip of paper was wound onto a thin rod (or toothpick) (to form the center of the flower).
- And then to this rolled center they added a winding of a wider tape, already cut along the edge into petal strips.
And the petals are folded to the side - like a spreading umbrella.
AND IF YOU ADD A THRUST FOR EXPERIMENT TO THIS SIMPLE TWISTING TECHNIQUE, YOU CAN GET NEW DESIGNS OF PAPER FLOWERS. You can’t just bend these petals to the sides with a flat, spreading daisy, but slightly twist the tip of each petal inward (as we do with curls in the morning) - and you’ll get a voluminous, lush ASTER.
What if... make a strip for twisting with AREAS OF DIFFERENT WIDTH. We see the result of this idea in the photo diagram below.
- A narrow strip (1 cm wide) for the middle stamen (wrap it in a tight roll on a toothpick).
- Next, we wrap a petal strip (with a fringed edge) 2 centimeters wide onto this roll.
- And then we wind a petal strip 2.5 cm wide...
- and then a petal strip 3 cm wide.
And thanks to the different widths of the stripes, we will get a roll flower in which the height of the petals increases from the center to the edges.
As you can see, you can and should do EXPERIMENTS with this simple roll technique. Let's continue to encourage our inquisitive mind and decide on another wild idea...
WHAT IF, cut the fringe not straight, but diagonally. And what if... this oblique fringe is not cut along the edge CUT, and along the edge of the FOLD (that is, bend the strip in half along the entire length, and cut this fold line diagonally into a fringe, and then twist it in this form.
We see the result in the photo below - an amazing aster with spirally twisting carved perforated petals. Beautiful flower craft - looks like hard work, and making it with your own hands is simple and quick.
Such shaggy flowers with oblique petals can be used as a shaggy stamen for other flowers.
Like for example in this master class in the photo below. Do you see?
There, too, a bent strip is cut along the OBLIQUE FRINGE... and an orange shaggy stamen is formed - needed to decorate the center of the paper aster.
By the way, the paper aster itself from the photo below is made in a very original and simple way.
- The base of the aster is a puff (multi-rayed star with chopped rays).
- Each ray in the puff is bent with a slate ruler into a sharp arrow (like on trousers).
- The layers are superimposed on each other - we get a lush flower.
And just the stamen inside this voluminous flower is made using the OBLIQUE FRINGE technique, which we just talked about.
This roll equipment can be combine with a regular petal puff (Method No. 1 from this article).. Yes – you can – because it occurs in nature. God himself once came to this idea - and created the Marigold flowers. And we will implement this method of combining a roll and a puff on paper. (see how this is done in the infographic below).
In roll technology the fluffy center of the flower is made. And using the “Puff Puff” technique“The lower petal part of the marigold flower is made of paper (templates with five-leaf silhouettes). Photo instructions for assembling the flower are below.
But here is a rosehip flower - where the stamen and the middle are also combined using the rolling twist technique and 2 petal layers. By the way, you can make them in large sheets of A4 format and stick them on the wall - and your living room will be transformed. Buy a pack of red office paper from the stationery store and play interior designer. All the neighbors will come running to gasp with delight.
But here is a flower craft where the roll technique is also used to create a fluffy panicle-stamen, and the side petals are simply glued separately onto the lower layers of the fluffy panicle-stamen.
You get large sunflowers from crepe paper.
Using a similar ROLL-BUNK + INDIVIDUAL PETAS technique, you can also make a daffodil flower with your own hands.
But these flowers, EITHER LILAC OR SALVIA - with a long stem of inflorescences, are also made using the roll technique.
Yes, yes, this is also a regular roll technique, with the only difference that the strip of paper is not rolled into a tube, but wrapped around in a spiral roll around a long stick.
Here in the photo below is a master class of this lush paper flower.
- A wide strip of crepe (corrugated) paper cut into long fringe.
- We wrap the fringes on a toothpick(or a knitting needle) - and we get curls along one edge of the ribbon.
- We take a long wooden skewer and wrap our paper ribbon with curly fringe around it - the wrapping begins from the upper end of a wooden skewer and goes down in a spiral.
- We do it under the flower green wrapping skewer and glue wide green leaves to this stem.
Paper rose flowers
FOLDING method.
Using the roll technique, you can quickly roll up a paper rose. We will have a separate article on paper roses. But I will give two master classes right here - because they cover the roll technique of creating flowers.
Here is the first step-by-step paper rose master class. Thick paper is used here, and in order for the petal parts to have the geometry of broken pink petals, this thick paper strip needs to be PUMPED AND TWISTED around itself during the process of rolling into a roll.
And don't pay attention to these centimeters... Just take it the very essence this instruction. Cut a strip of paper from the draft and try to twist it into a rose, simply bending the strip as God pleases - the paper itself will tell you where to bend and turn it.
Many other options for making a paper rose from different types papers you will find in the article
And here's another way Roll up a roll of paper so that it looks like a rose. For such a roll we need paper strip NOT A STRAIGHT SHAPE, but make a strip of paper IN THE SHAPE OF A SPIRAL.
Enough for this draw a snail on a piece of cardboard(uneven curve, no matter what). This drawn spiral will be the template for our paper flower.
Now this spiral line needs to be cut and then start twisting the roll NOT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE SPIRAL... but rather FROM ITS EDGE. And a paper rose will appear in our hands by itself.
My advice, do not use glazed slippery glossy paper for this rose craft.– such an elastic rose will strive to turn around or the spiral circles will slip out of the flower’s bed. It is better to choose rough paper or not very thick cardboard - this way the rose will better hold its shape.
METHOD No. 2
Method No. 3
Using the POMPOM technique.
Here's an even faster way to create a fluffy, voluminous flower. It is made using the pompom technique - from corrugated crepe paper
This technique is good because it allows you to very quickly make large flowers from paper - since crepe paper is sold in large rolls (like wallpaper). And every roll can turn into large flower for holiday decoration.
The master class in the photo below shows how to make such a lush paper flower with your own hands. We fold a wide (20 cm wide) ribbon several times to create many layers. We cut the folded ribbon into fringe from TWO EDGES, leaving the middle intact.
We fluff the fringe of the flower in all directions - achieving the shape of a perfect circle. And we decorate the central part of the flower with a wad of black paper - and the flower resembles a disheveled poppy.
As you understand, the height of the petals depends on the length of the fringe. And the shape of the petals depends on the shape of the fringe.
Below (paper flower master class) we make anemones using exactly the same pompom technique. The difference is that we slightly changed the shape of the fringe - it’s not even a cut fringe at all, but just a beautiful curly petal edge of the napkin.
As a result, the fluffy flower no longer becomes a poppy - but a delicate anemone made of paper.
Is it absolutely possible? do not change the edge shape- that is, do not cut it or fringe it at all. Leave it flat, as it is on a napkin. Just lightly color it with a marker.
And using the same technique, we make a pompom flower with our own hands. They pinched it with wire, folded it in half, fluffed it up and got a carnation on a wire stem.
It remains to add elements from green paper - receptacle(wrap a jagged roll around the flower bowl), stalk(long green strip for wrapping the stem of the flower), leaves (long oval ones glued to the stem).
You can also make this pom-pom flower two-color with a center of a different color (see photo below). To do this, we need paper strips of two colors - one wide (yellow), and the second 2 times narrower (black).
We prepare the strips - first we cut a wide strip onto a double-sided fringe (or a patterned edge on both sides too), then we make patterned edges on both sides on a narrow strip.
To make a patterned petal edge– you need to fold the strip into an accordion (as fans were made in childhood) and make a rounding on both sides of this folded fan with scissors.
After unfold the strips and put a narrow black stripe to the middle of the wide yellow stripe. We fold them again like an accordion (this time two-color).
We tie it with twine or wire. And we unfold the sides of the fan in a circle - a flower is formed. If desired, the center of the flower can be decorated with crumpled paper or cut fringe, glued between the blades of the black center.
And here is a master class that shows how to make a paper pom-pom flower WITH A FRINGED stamen with your own hands (photo instructions below).
The principle of creating this flower from paper of two colors is the same as in the previous master class. Only here the middle strip is shredded on both sides into small fringes. This is another way to make large flowers using crepe paper.
Method No. 4
METHOD No. 2
Twisted on a ball.
Here's another way to create flowers from crimped crepe paper.
To make such paper flowers you need wide short strips of crepe paper and balls of different sizes (lollipops, balls). We place the ball on the strip and hug the ball with the strip on both sides - we twist the tails and ends of the strip into a tight flagellum. Carefully remove the ball, trying not to crush the inflated petal template. We make several of these petals and collect them into a lush flower.
Using the same principle, rounded crocus petals are made from corrugated paper (photo below). Here you need a longer paper strip - it is placed on the ball with one half. The other half twists at the top of the ball and goes back behind the back of the ball and lies on top of its first half. The result is a rounded petal.
If you put these petals close to each other, you will get the cup of a closed crocus flower (as in the photo below). Excellent craft-flowers for March 8th for mom.
You can make a lot of bouquets from crepe corrugated paper. Including bouquets of sweets.
Method No. 5
FLOWERS made of paper
Using ORIGAMI technique.
And now we will talk about folding flowers from paper - without any cutting with scissors. That is, about the art of origami.
The first model is flowers with conical petals. They are so handsome. Each petal of such a flower is made from a simple square of paper. Using simple origami technique.
All the finished petals are glued to each other - and a beautiful rhinestone-stone is placed in the center of the gluing.
These craft flowers are very easy and quick to make yourself - and they look very elegant on gift packaging. You can even decorate a Christmas tree with them.
As soon as you pick up a square of paper and look at the master class below, you will immediately make the same petal. It’s very simple – you start doing it and you understand everything along the way. And you’re surprised that they don’t teach this in kindergarten - it’s so simple and accessible to the common man. After module 10, when the entire pattern of the flower has already been absorbed into your subconscious, your hands already do everything almost blindly - automatically.
If you take a roll of plain wallpaper as paper and cut it into large squares, you can get large-sized flowers to decorate a room or decorate a home celebration.
And also due to the fact that these flowers have the shape of a CONE, it is convenient to collect them into one common large ball. And use it as a pendant. Or as a crown for a decorative tree (which is usually used to decorate weddings).
Here is a master class on a large water lily and paper folding techniques without cutting.
And here interesting way where the petal modules are made separately, and then each module is not glued, but simply inserted into the grooves of the adjacent module.
These handmade paper flowers can be an excellent craft for any occasion. You can now make paper flowers in different techniques and teach this to children. You can use these ideas for holiday decorations or for activities in the Skillful Hands group. Such flowers are suitable as crafts for the Spring competition at school or kindergarten. Or these flowers can be a gift for mom on March 8th - a bouquet of paper flowers made by yourself.
