Variety of applications "Flowers"
Classic flower arrangements will never cease to amaze with their aesthetics and the perfect combination of all available elements. It is for this reason that such motifs are often found in children's art and modern handicrafts, while creatively reflecting the softness of the lines used and the catchy color balance, the originality of all ideas that are brought to life. For children's creativity, the simplest and very easy-to-execute application is often chosen, while the flowers themselves are recommended to be made from paper or a fabric base, leather or other affordable and cheap materials.
Paper options
This raw material is still considered the simplest creative material. The type and quality of all kinds of flowers for creating various crafts will depend 100% on its structure, density, and quality characteristics. In this case, the paper can be very different:
- often used bright tissue paper, colored or white cardboard, a thickened version for the office;
- in crafts, you can see soft crepe (it is also called corrugated) paper, volumetric flowers come out of it remarkably;
- thin paper strips of various colors for quilling, with their help memorable compositions and creative postcard applications are created.
Paper flowers can be used to decorate simple envelopes, postcards or create stylish panels out of them.
Volumetric type work "Flowers" for children, created with his own hand for the spring holiday for mom or beloved teacher.
Even an inexperienced kid can create a cute card of delicate flowers with his own hands, however, with the help of a skilled adult. For a full-fledged creative process, you will need:
- paper: white and green;
- multi-colored cardboard;
- regular napkin;
- scissors;
- PVA glue;
- different markers.
White paper will need to be cut into strips (1 cm wide and 10 cm long). The blanks are carefully folded so that they begin to resemble droplets, after which you need to glue their tips well. To make 1 flower, you will need about 28-30 "droplets".
From the same white paper, you need to cut out a circle with a diameter of about 3 cm - this will be the skeleton of the future chamomile. On this rounded base, 2 layers of paper "drops" will be glued in turn. The napkin must be broken into several unequal parts, from which the balls must be rolled. The center of the future bud is thoroughly coated with glue and napkin balls, previously painted with felt-tip pens, are placed in yellow.
Several more flowers are made according to the same scheme, which are glued to the base for the postcard. In this simple way, you can get a whole flower bed.
Creative applique with bright chrysanthemums in a pot.
In order to create stylish and voluminous chrysanthemums in a minimum period of time, we take corrugated paper - then the created products will become much better to keep their shape. The process will come in handy:
- double-sided multi-colored paper and its decorative variation;
- paper folded in small folds (preferably pink);
- white sheet;
- pencils or markers;
- ordinary scissors;
- adhesive composition of PVA type.
Long stripes are cut from pink crepe or crepe paper. Their approximate width is 5–6 cm (the larger they are, the longer the petals of the products will be). The strips are folded several times. Petals that are sharp in appearance are cut from the workpiece with scissors. You need to make cuts at regular intervals, and then the width of the petals will be almost the same. Next, each of the resulting strips is straightened. A thin line of glue is applied along their entire length, after which the strip can be assembled into a “roll”. When the first strip is tightly twisted, you can glue the second strip around the roll.
This is how several identical blanks are made. The outer and inner petals of the flower are straightened so that the chrysanthemum acquires the required volume. Using the scissor blades, you can twist the tips of the petals slightly. The center of the flower is tinted with an orange felt-tip pen.
Any number of products can be made, but it is best that they differ in parameters.
A vase of the desired shape is cut out of colored paper. Chrysanthemum leaves can be cut out of green paper. With a green felt-tip pen, you can highlight the dark streaks on all the leaves. To decorate the applique, make a beautiful frame on a thick white sheet of paper. Carefully glue the vase to the base and place the resulting chrysanthemums in the same place.
A flower with separate petals.
For babies, this is one of the simplest options for children's applications. To create a flower with individual petals, simply fold a strip of paper like an accordion, draw a round blank on it. Cut along the contour. You will get many round petals, from which you can further make a flower. Draw a circle on the base, then glue the petals from the circles on it, trying to arrange them evenly. In the center of your flower, place the core - a circle cut out of paper of a different color.
Breakaway applique for kids.
Necessary materials and tools:
- multi-colored paper;
- cardboard;
- PVA glue;
- simple pencil;
- paper napkin to remove excess glue from the applique.
On a white cardboard base, you need to transfer any stencil that you want to create, for example, a bouquet of 3 flowers.
Bend a narrow strip of a sheet of paper of a certain color along its long edge, gently smooth the fold line from the middle to both sides. Bend the strip back and tear it off.Bend 1 more strip of a similar size. It is necessary to repeat this procedure several more times so that torn stripes are obtained from sheets of multi-colored paper. Each of them will need to be torn into small pieces.
Draw the outline of the composition with a pencil on cardboard. A little glue is first applied to the upper part of the resulting image, slowly and as carefully as possible, row by row, layer by layer - you need to spread it and you can immediately glue the torn pieces of color to the base.
In this case, the pieces should not go beyond the drawn contours.
One of the easiest children's creative applications of the origami system in the shape of a sunflower.
Useful for work:
- cardboard;
- multi-colored paper;
- scissors;
- glue.
First you need to prepare the yellow petals of our flower. A strip of paper with an approximate width of 2 cm is taken. The corner of the strip is bent to its opposite end and cut off. If you unfold the resulting triangle back, a square will come out.
We unfold our workpiece into a square and carefully fold the triangles from 2 sides to the existing fold line. Thus, you will get the blank of the 1st petal of the sunflower flower. For 1 inflorescence, you need to make 9 of this kind of petals. And since there will be several sunflowers on the craft, you will have to make a lot of petals.
Some of the petals are made of green paper - these will be sunflower leaves.
On a sheet of cardboard base, you need to glue green paper - this is the basis of our entire application. Petal blanks are glued to each other in a circle on the base. And in the very center of the resulting inflorescence, you can simply glue a brown circle. With a black felt-tip pen, draw stripes-seeds in the middle of the inflorescence, and the creative work on this will be completed.

From improvised means
Also, very original applications can be created from plastic lids and corks.
In order to make this kind of creative flowers, you will need:
- plastic caps (various sizes and colors);
- glue gun;
- "Skewers";
- wire (chenille);
- the usual awl.
You can simply glue the inverted lids in a specific order to a thick sheet of regular cardboard that acts as a base.

In addition, fluffy wire (chenille) or even a familiar cocktail tube can play the role of the stem in the applique. Quite unusual flowers can turn out if you just put the caps one into the other and stick it that way. For this effect, you can pick up caps not only from bottles, but also from cans of different sizes.
